Genesis 1:1	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2	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 waters.
Genesis 1:3	And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis 1:4	And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis 1:5	And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Genesis 1:6	And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis 1:7	And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Genesis 1:8	And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Genesis 1:9	And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 1:10	And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11	And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, in which is their seed, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:12	And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, in which is their seed, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:13	And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Genesis 1:14	And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
Genesis 1:15	and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:16	And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Genesis 1:17	And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
Genesis 1:18	and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:19	And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Genesis 1:20	And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:21	And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:22	And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
Genesis 1:23	And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Genesis 1:24	And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
Genesis 1:25	And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:26	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27	And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:28	And God blessed them: and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
Genesis 1:29	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:
Genesis 1:30	and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.
Genesis 1:31	And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1	And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:2	And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis 2:3	And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
Genesis 2:4	These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yehovah God made earth and heaven.
Genesis 2:5	And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;
Genesis 2:6	but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Genesis 2:7	And Yehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:8	And Yehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:9	And out of the ground Yehovah God caused to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:10	And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.
Genesis 2:11	The name of the first is Pishon: it is the one that encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Genesis 2:12	and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Genesis 2:13	And the name of the second river is Gihon: it is the one that encircles the whole land of Cush.
Genesis 2:14	And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: it is the one that goes in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Genesis 2:15	And Yehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to keep it.
Genesis 2:16	And Yehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat:
Genesis 2:17	but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Genesis 2:18	And Yehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.
Genesis 2:19	And out of the ground Yehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them to the man to see what he would call them: and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
Genesis 2:20	And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
Genesis 2:21	And Yehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place:
Genesis 2:22	and the rib, which Yehovah God had taken from the man, he made into a woman, and brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:23	And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Genesis 2:24	Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall hold fast to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis 2:25	And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 3:1	Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which Yehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Indeed, has God said, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:2	And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:
Genesis 3:3	but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
Genesis 3:4	And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die:
Genesis 3:5	for God knows that in the day you eat of it, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as God, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:6	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 its fruit, and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Genesis 3:7	And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis 3:8	And they heard the voice of Yehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yehovah God among the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:9	And Yehovah God called to the man, and said to him, Where are you?
Genesis 3:10	And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis 3:11	And he said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you that you should not eat?
Genesis 3:12	And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
Genesis 3:13	And Yehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
Genesis 3:14	And Yehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life:
Genesis 3:15	and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed: he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:16	To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your pain and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
Genesis 3:17	And to Adam he said, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
Genesis 3:18	thorns also and thistles it shall bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field;
Genesis 3:19	in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust shall you return.
Genesis 3:20	And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 3:21	And Yehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.
Genesis 3:22	And Yehovah God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—
Genesis 3:23	therefore Yehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Genesis 3:24	So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis 4:1	And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with the help of Yehovah.
Genesis 4:2	And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Genesis 4:3	And in the course of time it happened, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering to Yehovah.
Genesis 4:4	And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat. And Yehovah had regard for Abel and to his offering:
Genesis 4:5	but to Cain and to his offering he did not have regard. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.
Genesis 4:6	And Yehovah said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your countenance fallen?
Genesis 4:7	If you do well, shall it not be lifted up? and if you do not do well, sin couches at the door; and to you shall be its desire; but you must rule over it.
Genesis 4:8	And Cain told Abel his brother. And it happened, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Genesis 4:9	And Yehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I do not know: am I my brother’s keeper?
Genesis 4:10	And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Genesis 4:11	And now cursed are you from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand;
Genesis 4:12	when you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer you shall be in the earth.
Genesis 4:13	And Cain said to Yehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Genesis 4:14	Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from your face I shall be hidden; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will happen, that whoever finds me will slay me.
Genesis 4:15	And Yehovah said to him, Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Yehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.
Genesis 4:16	And Cain went out from the presence of Yehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Genesis 4:17	And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Genesis 4:18	And to Enoch was born Irad: and Irad fathered Mehujael; and Mehujael fathered Methushael; and Methushael fathered Lamech.
Genesis 4:19	And Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Genesis 4:20	And Adah bore Jabal: he was the father of those who dwell in tents and have cattle.
Genesis 4:21	And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all those who handle the harp and pipe.
Genesis 4:22	And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of bronze and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.
Genesis 4:23	And Lamech said to his wives: Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech: For I have slain a man for wounding me, And a young man for bruising me:
Genesis 4:24	If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold.
Genesis 4:25	And Adam knew his wife again; and she bore a son, and called his name Seth: For, she said, God has appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him.
Genesis 4:26	And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of Yehovah.
Genesis 5:1	This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God he made him;
Genesis 5:2	male and female he created them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 5:3	And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Genesis 5:4	and the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years: and he fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 5:5	And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Genesis 5:6	And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and fathered Enosh:
Genesis 5:7	and Seth lived after he fathered Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:8	and all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
Genesis 5:9	And Enosh lived ninety years, and fathered Kenan:
Genesis 5:10	and Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:11	and all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:12	And Kenan lived seventy years, and fathered Mahalalel:
Genesis 5:13	and Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:14	and all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
Genesis 5:15	And Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and fathered Jared:
Genesis 5:16	and Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:17	and all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years: and he died.
Genesis 5:18	And Jared lived a hundred and sixty-two years, and fathered Enoch:
Genesis 5:19	and Jared lived after he fathered Enoch eight hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:20	and all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years: and he died.
Genesis 5:21	And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and fathered Methuselah:
Genesis 5:22	and Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah three hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:23	and all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years:
Genesis 5:24	and Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Genesis 5:25	And Methuselah lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, and fathered Lamech:
Genesis 5:26	and Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:27	and all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years: and he died.
Genesis 5:28	And Lamech lived a hundred and eighty-two years, and fathered a son:
Genesis 5:29	and he called his name Noah, saying, This one shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which comes because of the ground which Yehovah has cursed.
Genesis 5:30	And Lamech lived after he fathered Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and fathered sons and daughters:
Genesis 5:31	And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years: and he died.
Genesis 5:32	And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6:1	And it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
Genesis 6:2	that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose.
Genesis 6:3	And Yehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4	The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them: these were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Genesis 6:5	And Yehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:6	And Yehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:7	And Yehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for I regret that I have made them.
Genesis 6:8	But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yehovah.
Genesis 6:9	These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:10	And Noah fathered three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6:11	And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Genesis 6:12	And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Genesis 6:13	And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Genesis 6:14	Make an ark of gopher wood; rooms you shall make in the ark, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
Genesis 6:15	And this is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Genesis 6:16	A light you shall make to the ark, and to a cubit you shall finish it upward; and the door of the ark you shall set in its side; with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.
Genesis 6:17	And I, behold, I am bringing the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis 6:18	But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
Genesis 6:19	And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort you shall bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
Genesis 6:20	Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
Genesis 6:21	And take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.
Genesis 6:22	Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Genesis 7:1	And Yehovah said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and all your house; for I have seen you righteous before me in this generation.
Genesis 7:2	Of every clean beast you shall take with you seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:
Genesis 7:3	of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 7:4	For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.
Genesis 7:5	And Noah did according to all that Yehovah commanded him.
Genesis 7:6	And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Genesis 7:7	And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Genesis 7:8	Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps upon the ground,
Genesis 7:9	there went in two and two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
Genesis 7:10	And it happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Genesis 7:11	In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:12	And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis 7:13	On that very day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark;
Genesis 7:14	they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
Genesis 7:15	And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
Genesis 7:16	And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Yehovah shut him in.
Genesis 7:17	And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
Genesis 7:18	And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 7:19	And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
Genesis 7:20	Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.
Genesis 7:21	And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man:
Genesis 7:22	all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
Genesis 7:23	And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
Genesis 7:24	And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8:1	And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided;
Genesis 8:2	the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Genesis 8:3	and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
Genesis 8:4	And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Genesis 8:5	And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
Genesis 8:6	And it happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
Genesis 8:7	and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Genesis 8:8	And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had abated from off the face of the ground;
Genesis 8:9	but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in to him into the ark.
Genesis 8:10	And he waited another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Genesis 8:11	and the dove came in to him at evening; and, look, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters had abated from off the earth.
Genesis 8:12	And he waited another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return again to him any more.
Genesis 8:13	And it happened in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
Genesis 8:14	And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Genesis 8:15	And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Genesis 8:16	Go forth from the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
Genesis 8:17	Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
Genesis 8:18	And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
Genesis 8:19	every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
Genesis 8:20	And Noah built an altar to Yehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
Genesis 8:21	And Yehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Yehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again strike any more everything living, as I have done.
Genesis 8:22	While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 9:1	And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
Genesis 9:2	And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all with which the ground teems, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand they are delivered.
Genesis 9:3	Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; as the green herb I have given you all.
Genesis 9:4	But flesh with its life, which is its blood, you shall not eat.
Genesis 9:5	And surely your blood, the blood of your lives, I will require; at the hand of every beast I will require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, I will require the life of man.
Genesis 9:6	Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God he made man.
Genesis 9:7	And you, be fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it.
Genesis 9:8	And God spoke to Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Genesis 9:9	And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Genesis 9:10	and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.
Genesis 9:11	And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis 9:12	And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Genesis 9:13	I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis 9:14	And it shall happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
Genesis 9:15	and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Genesis 9:16	And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis 9:17	And God said to Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis 9:18	And the sons of Noah, who went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Genesis 9:19	These three were the sons of Noah: and of these the whole earth was overspread.
Genesis 9:20	And Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard:
Genesis 9:21	and he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Genesis 9:22	And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
Genesis 9:23	And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
Genesis 9:24	And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Genesis 9:25	And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants he shall be to his brothers.
Genesis 9:26	And he said, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
Genesis 9:27	God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
Genesis 9:28	And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Genesis 9:29	And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Genesis 10:1	Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and to them were sons born after the flood.
Genesis 10:2	The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Genesis 10:3	And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Genesis 10:4	And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Genesis 10:5	Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Genesis 10:6	And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
Genesis 10:7	And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.
Genesis 10:8	And Cush fathered Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Genesis 10:9	He was a mighty hunter before Yehovah: therefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yehovah.
Genesis 10:10	And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 10:11	Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,
Genesis 10:12	and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the great city).
Genesis 10:13	And Mizraim fathered Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Genesis 10:14	and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim.
Genesis 10:15	And Canaan fathered Sidon his first-born, and Heth,
Genesis 10:16	and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Genesis 10:17	and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Genesis 10:18	and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad.
Genesis 10:19	And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, to Lasha.
Genesis 10:20	These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations.
Genesis 10:21	And to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.
Genesis 10:22	The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Genesis 10:23	And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Genesis 10:24	And Arpachshad fathered Shelah; and Shelah fathered Eber.
Genesis 10:25	And to Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.
Genesis 10:26	And Joktan fathered Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Genesis 10:27	and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Genesis 10:28	and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Genesis 10:29	and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
Genesis 10:30	And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
Genesis 10:31	These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Genesis 10:32	These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these the nations were divided in the earth after the flood.
Genesis 11:1	And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
Genesis 11:2	And it happened, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Genesis 11:3	And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had tar for mortar.
Genesis 11:4	And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven, and let us make a name for ourselves; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Genesis 11:5	And Yehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
Genesis 11:6	And Yehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld from them, which they purpose to do.
Genesis 11:7	Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
Genesis 11:8	So Yehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
Genesis 11:9	Therefore its name was called Babel; because Yehovah there confounded the language of all the earth: and from there Yehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:10	These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood:
Genesis 11:11	and Shem lived after he fathered Arpachshad five hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:12	And Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and fathered Shelah:
Genesis 11:13	and Arpachshad lived after he fathered Shelah four hundred and three years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:14	And Shelah lived thirty years, and fathered Eber:
Genesis 11:15	and Shelah lived after he fathered Eber four hundred and three years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:16	And Eber lived thirty-four years, and fathered Peleg:
Genesis 11:17	and Eber lived after he fathered Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:18	And Peleg lived thirty years, and fathered Reu:
Genesis 11:19	and Peleg lived after he fathered Reu two hundred and nine years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:20	And Reu lived thirty-two years, and fathered Serug:
Genesis 11:21	and Reu lived after he fathered Serug two hundred and seven years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:22	And Serug lived thirty years, and fathered Nahor:
Genesis 11:23	and Serug lived after he fathered Nahor two hundred years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:24	And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and fathered Terah:
Genesis 11:25	and Nahor lived after he fathered Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and fathered sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:26	And Terah lived seventy years, and fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Genesis 11:27	Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.
Genesis 11:28	And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Genesis 11:29	And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Genesis 11:30	And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Genesis 11:31	And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.
Genesis 11:32	And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12:1	Now Yehovah said to Abram, Go out from your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you:
Genesis 12:2	and I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and be a blessing:
Genesis 12:3	and I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse: and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Genesis 12:4	So Abram went, as Yehovah had spoken to him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Genesis 12:5	And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had acquired in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Genesis 12:6	And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Genesis 12:7	And Yehovah appeared to Abram, and said, To your seed I will give this land: and there he built an altar to Yehovah, who appeared to him.
Genesis 12:8	And he moved from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he built an altar to Yehovah, and called upon the name of Yehovah.
Genesis 12:9	And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
Genesis 12:10	And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was severe in the land.
Genesis 12:11	And it happened, when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon:
Genesis 12:12	and it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will let you live.
Genesis 12:13	Please say that you are my sister; that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.
Genesis 12:14	And it happened, that, when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very beautiful.
Genesis 12:15	And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
Genesis 12:16	And he dealt well with Abram for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and male donkeys, and male servants, and female servants, and female donkeys, and camels.
Genesis 12:17	And Yehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Genesis 12:18	And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that you have done to me? why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Genesis 12:19	why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold your wife, take her, and go your way.
Genesis 12:20	And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him: and they sent him on his way, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis 13:1	And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.
Genesis 13:2	And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Genesis 13:3	And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,
Genesis 13:4	to the place of the altar, which he had made there at first: and there Abram called on the name of Yehovah.
Genesis 13:5	And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Genesis 13:6	And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their possessions were great, so that they could not dwell together.
Genesis 13:7	And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.
Genesis 13:8	And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, please, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brothers.
Genesis 13:9	Is not the whole land before you? please separate yourself from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Genesis 13:10	And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before Yehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yehovah, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.
Genesis 13:11	So Lot chose for himself all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Genesis 13:12	Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
Genesis 13:13	Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Yehovah exceedingly.
Genesis 13:14	And Yehovah said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward:
Genesis 13:15	for all the land which you see, to you I will give it, and to your seed forever.
Genesis 13:16	And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed also may be numbered.
Genesis 13:17	Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for to you I will give it.
Genesis 13:18	And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar to Yehovah.
Genesis 14:1	And it happened in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
Genesis 14:2	that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
Genesis 14:3	All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).
Genesis 14:4	Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Genesis 14:5	And in the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings that were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Genesis 14:6	and the Horites in their mount Seir, to El-paran, which is by the wilderness.
Genesis 14:7	And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.
Genesis 14:8	And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar); and they drew up the battle against them in the vale of Siddim;
Genesis 14:9	against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.
Genesis 14:10	Now the vale of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the mountain.
Genesis 14:11	And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their provisions, and went their way.
Genesis 14:12	And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Genesis 14:13	And there came one who had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram.
Genesis 14:14	And when Abram heard that his brother had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.
Genesis 14:15	And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Genesis 14:16	And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Genesis 14:17	And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Vale).
Genesis 14:18	And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.
Genesis 14:19	And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:
Genesis 14:20	and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tenth of all.
Genesis 14:21	And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to yourself.
Genesis 14:22	And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand to Yehovah, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,
Genesis 14:23	that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich:
Genesis 14:24	except only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Genesis 15:1	After these things the word of Yehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not fear, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.
Genesis 15:2	And Abram said, O Lord Yehovah, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and he who shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
Genesis 15:3	And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, look, one born in my house is my heir.
Genesis 15:4	And, behold, the word of Yehovah came to him, saying, This man shall not be your heir; but he who shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.
Genesis 15:5	And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them: and he said to him, So shall your seed be.
Genesis 15:6	And he believed in Yehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
Genesis 15:7	And he said to him, I am Yehovah who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.
Genesis 15:8	And he said, O Lord Yehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Genesis 15:9	And he said to him, Bring me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.
Genesis 15:10	And he took for himself all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but he did not divide the birds.
Genesis 15:11	And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Genesis 15:12	And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, look, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Genesis 15:13	And he said to Abram, Know for certain that your seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Genesis 15:14	and also that nation, whom they shall serve, I will judge: and afterward they shall come out with great substance.
Genesis 15:15	But you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
Genesis 15:16	And in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.
Genesis 15:17	And it happened, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.
Genesis 15:18	In that day Yehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
Genesis 15:19	the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
Genesis 15:20	and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
Genesis 15:21	and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
Genesis 16:1	Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Genesis 16:2	And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, Yehovah has restrained me from bearing; please go in to my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Genesis 16:3	And Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife.
Genesis 16:4	And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Genesis 16:5	And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong be upon you: I gave my handmaid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Yehovah judge between me and you.
Genesis 16:6	But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her that which is good in your eyes. And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her face.
Genesis 16:7	And the angel of Yehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Genesis 16:8	And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, where have you come from? and where are you going? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Genesis 16:9	And the angel of Yehovah said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hands.
Genesis 16:10	And the angel of Yehovah said to her, I will greatly multiply your seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Genesis 16:11	And the angel of Yehovah said to her, Behold, you are with child, and shall bear a son; and you shall call his name Ishmael, because Yehovah has heard your affliction.
Genesis 16:12	And he shall be as a wild donkey among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brothers.
Genesis 16:13	And she called the name of Yehovah that spoke to her, You are a God that sees: for she said, Have I even here looked after him who sees me?
Genesis 16:14	Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis 16:15	And Hagar bore Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.
Genesis 16:16	And Abram was eighty-six years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Genesis 17:1	And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be perfect.
Genesis 17:2	And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.
Genesis 17:3	And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Genesis 17:4	As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
Genesis 17:5	Neither shall your name be called Abram any more, but your name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations I have made you.
Genesis 17:6	And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
Genesis 17:7	And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
Genesis 17:8	And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Genesis 17:9	And God said to Abraham, And as for you, you shall keep my covenant, you, and your seed after you throughout their generations.
Genesis 17:10	This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.
Genesis 17:11	And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant between me and you.
Genesis 17:12	And he who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner who is not of your seed.
Genesis 17:13	He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Genesis 17:14	And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
Genesis 17:15	And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
Genesis 17:16	And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her: indeed, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.
Genesis 17:17	Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him who is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?
Genesis 17:18	And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before you!
Genesis 17:19	And God said, No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Genesis 17:20	And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes he shall father, and I will make him a great nation.
Genesis 17:21	But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.
Genesis 17:22	And he finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
Genesis 17:23	And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, as God had said to him.
Genesis 17:24	And Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:25	And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:26	On that very day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
Genesis 17:27	And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 18:1	And Yehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Genesis 18:2	and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, look, three men stood opposite him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
Genesis 18:3	and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass away from your servant:
Genesis 18:4	let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Genesis 18:5	and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen your heart; after that you shall pass on: since you have come to your servant. And they said, So do, as you have said.
Genesis 18:6	And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.
Genesis 18:7	And Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it to the servant; and he hurried to prepare it.
Genesis 18:8	And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Genesis 18:9	And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Genesis 18:10	And he said, I will certainly return to you when the season comes round; and, look, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
Genesis 18:11	Now Abraham and Sarah were old, and advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Genesis 18:12	And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I have grown old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Genesis 18:13	And Yehovah said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I indeed bear a child, who am old?
Genesis 18:14	Is anything too hard for Yehovah? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah shall have a son.
Genesis 18:15	Then Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but you did laugh.
Genesis 18:16	And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to send them on their way.
Genesis 18:17	And Yehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;
Genesis 18:18	seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Genesis 18:19	For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
Genesis 18:20	And Yehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 18:21	I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to its cry, which has come to me; and if not, I will know.
Genesis 18:22	And the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham still stood before Yehovah.
Genesis 18:23	And Abraham drew near, and said, Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
Genesis 18:24	Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city: will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?
Genesis 18:25	That be far from you to do in this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from you: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Genesis 18:26	And Yehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.
Genesis 18:27	And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:
Genesis 18:28	perhaps five shall be lacking of the fifty righteous: will you destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty-five.
Genesis 18:29	And he spoke to him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty’s sake.
Genesis 18:30	And he said, Oh let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak: perhaps thirty shall be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Genesis 18:31	And he said, Behold now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.
Genesis 18:32	And he said, Oh let the Lord not be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: perhaps ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.
Genesis 18:33	And Yehovah went his way, as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham: and Abraham returned to his place.
Genesis 19:1	And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth;
Genesis 19:2	and he said, Behold now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet, and you shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No; but we will spend the night in the street.
Genesis 19:3	And he urged them greatly; and they turned in to him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
Genesis 19:4	But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;
Genesis 19:5	and they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who came in to you this night? bring them out to us, that we may know them.
Genesis 19:6	And Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
Genesis 19:7	And he said, Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
Genesis 19:8	Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing, since they have come under the shadow of my roof.
Genesis 19:9	And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he must be a judge: now we will deal worse with you, than with them. And they pressed hard against the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door.
Genesis 19:10	But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
Genesis 19:11	And they struck the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Genesis 19:12	And the men said to Lot, Do you have anyone else here? son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
Genesis 19:13	for we will destroy this place, because their cry has grown great before Yehovah; and Yehovah has sent us to destroy it.
Genesis 19:14	And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get out of this place; for Yehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law as one who was joking.
Genesis 19:15	And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters that are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Genesis 19:16	But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Yehovah being merciful to him: and they brought him forth, and set him outside the city.
Genesis 19:17	And it happened, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; do not look behind you, nor stay anywhere in the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
Genesis 19:18	And Lot said to them, Oh, not so, my lord:
Genesis 19:19	behold now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die:
Genesis 19:20	behold now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live.
Genesis 19:21	And he said to him, See, I have accepted you concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
Genesis 19:22	Hurry, escape there; for I cannot do anything till you have come there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Genesis 19:23	The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
Genesis 19:24	Then Yehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yehovah out of heaven;
Genesis 19:25	and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Genesis 19:26	But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:27	And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yehovah:
Genesis 19:28	and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, look, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Genesis 19:29	And it happened, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt.
Genesis 19:30	And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Genesis 19:31	And the first-born said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth:
Genesis 19:32	come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis 19:33	And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis 19:34	And it happened the next day, that the first-born said to the younger, Behold, I lay last night with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis 19:35	And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis 19:36	Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
Genesis 19:37	And the first-born bore a son, and called his name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.
Genesis 19:38	And the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: he is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
Genesis 20:1	And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar.
Genesis 20:2	And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Genesis 20:3	But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.
Genesis 20:4	Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, will you slay even a righteous nation?
Genesis 20:5	Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
Genesis 20:6	And God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore I did not allow you to touch her.
Genesis 20:7	Now therefore restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.
Genesis 20:8	And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid.
Genesis 20:9	Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? and how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.
Genesis 20:10	And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see, that you have done this thing?
Genesis 20:11	And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
Genesis 20:12	And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:
Genesis 20:13	and it happened, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you shall show to me: at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Genesis 20:14	And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah his wife to him.
Genesis 20:15	And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleases you.
Genesis 20:16	And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you; and in respect of all you are righted.
Genesis 20:17	And Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants; and they bore children.
Genesis 20:18	For Yehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
Genesis 21:1	And Yehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Yehovah did to Sarah as he had spoken.
Genesis 21:2	And Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:3	And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Genesis 21:4	And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Genesis 21:5	And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born to him.
Genesis 21:6	And Sarah said, God has made me laugh; everyone who hears will laugh with me.
Genesis 21:7	And she said, Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah should nurse children? for I have borne him a son in his old age.
Genesis 21:8	And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Genesis 21:9	And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.
Genesis 21:10	Therefore she said to Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
Genesis 21:11	And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.
Genesis 21:12	And God said to Abraham, Do not let it be grievous in your sight because of the lad, and because of your handmaid; in all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.
Genesis 21:13	And also of the son of the handmaid I will make a nation, because he is your seed.
Genesis 21:14	And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and gave her the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
Genesis 21:15	And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Genesis 21:16	And she went, and sat down opposite him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look on the death of the child. And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.
Genesis 21:17	And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, What troubles you, Hagar? do not fear; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Genesis 21:18	Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in your hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Genesis 21:19	And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
Genesis 21:20	And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer.
Genesis 21:21	And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
Genesis 21:22	And it happened at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do:
Genesis 21:23	now therefore swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done to you, you shall do to me, and to the land in which you have sojourned.
Genesis 21:24	And Abraham said, I will swear.
Genesis 21:25	And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away.
Genesis 21:26	And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing: neither did you tell me, nor did I hear of it, until today.
Genesis 21:27	And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them to Abimelech; and they two made a covenant.
Genesis 21:28	And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Genesis 21:29	And Abimelech said to Abraham, What do these seven ewe lambs mean which you have set by themselves?
Genesis 21:30	And he said, These seven ewe lambs you shall take from my hand, that it may be a witness to me, that I have dug this well.
Genesis 21:31	Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there both of them swore.
Genesis 21:32	So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the commander of his army, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Genesis 21:33	And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Yehovah, the Everlasting God.
Genesis 21:34	And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Genesis 22:1	And it happened after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Here I am.
Genesis 22:2	And he said, Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you of.
Genesis 22:3	And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.
Genesis 22:4	On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Genesis 22:5	And Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship, and come again to you.
Genesis 22:6	And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and both of them went together.
Genesis 22:7	And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?
Genesis 22:8	And Abraham said, God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son: so both of them went together.
Genesis 22:9	And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
Genesis 22:10	And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Genesis 22:11	And the angel of Yehovah called to him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here I am.
Genesis 22:12	And he said, Do not lay your hand on the lad, nor do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.
Genesis 22:13	And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22:14	And Abraham called the name of that place Yehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Yehovah it shall be provided.
Genesis 22:15	And the angel of Yehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
Genesis 22:16	and said, By myself I have sworn, says Yehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
Genesis 22:17	that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the sea-shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Genesis 22:18	and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
Genesis 22:19	So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.
Genesis 22:20	And it happened after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Genesis 22:21	Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Genesis 22:22	and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Genesis 22:23	And Bethuel fathered Rebekah: these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Genesis 22:24	And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Genesis 23:1	And the life of Sarah was a hundred and twenty-seven years: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Genesis 23:2	And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Genesis 23:3	And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spoke to the children of Heth, saying,
Genesis 23:4	I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Genesis 23:5	And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Genesis 23:6	Hear us, my lord; you are a prince of God among us: in the choicest of our tombs bury your dead; none of us shall withhold from you his tomb, so that you may bury your dead.
Genesis 23:7	And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
Genesis 23:8	And he spoke with them, saying, If it is your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
Genesis 23:9	that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he has, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place.
Genesis 23:10	Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the children of Heth, even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Genesis 23:11	No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field, and the cave that is in it, I give it to you; in the presence of the children of my people I give it to you: bury your dead.
Genesis 23:12	And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land.
Genesis 23:13	And he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, But if you will, please hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.
Genesis 23:14	And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Genesis 23:15	My lord, listen to me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? bury therefore your dead.
Genesis 23:16	And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
Genesis 23:17	So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, that were within all its border all around, were made over
Genesis 23:18	to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Genesis 23:19	And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (that is, Hebron), in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 23:20	And the field, and the cave that is in it, were made over to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the children of Heth.
Genesis 24:1	And Abraham was old, and advanced in age: and Yehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.
Genesis 24:2	And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Please put your hand under my thigh:
Genesis 24:3	and I will make you swear by Yehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Genesis 24:4	but you shall go to my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
Genesis 24:5	And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land: must I bring your son back to the land from which you came?
Genesis 24:6	And Abraham said to him, Beware that you do not bring my son back there.
Genesis 24:7	Yehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land; he will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
Genesis 24:8	And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath; only you shall not bring my son back there.
Genesis 24:9	And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.
Genesis 24:10	And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, having all kinds of good things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.
Genesis 24:11	And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.
Genesis 24:12	And he said, O Yehovah, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.
Genesis 24:13	Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water:
Genesis 24:14	and let it happen, that the young woman to whom I shall say, Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: let her be the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac; and by this I shall know that you have shown kindness to my master.
Genesis 24:15	And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Genesis 24:16	And the young woman was very beautiful to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Genesis 24:17	And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Please give me a little water to drink from your pitcher.
Genesis 24:18	And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hurried, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Genesis 24:19	And when she had finished giving him drink, she said, I will draw for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.
Genesis 24:20	And she hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.
Genesis 24:21	And the man gazed at her, holding his peace, to know whether Yehovah had made his journey prosperous or not.
Genesis 24:22	And it happened, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,
Genesis 24:23	and said, Whose daughter are you? please tell me. Is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge in?
Genesis 24:24	And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.
Genesis 24:25	She said moreover to him, We have both straw and fodder enough, and room to lodge in.
Genesis 24:26	And the man bowed his head, and worshipped Yehovah.
Genesis 24:27	And he said, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth toward my master: as for me, Yehovah has led me in the way to the house of my master’s brothers.
Genesis 24:28	And the young woman ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.
Genesis 24:29	And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out to the man, to the fountain.
Genesis 24:30	And it happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus the man spoke to me; that he came to the man; and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the fountain.
Genesis 24:31	And he said, Come in, you blessed of Yehovah; why do you stand outside? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Genesis 24:32	And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
Genesis 24:33	And food was set before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told my errand. And he said, Speak on.
Genesis 24:34	And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
Genesis 24:35	And Yehovah has blessed my master greatly; and he has become great: and he has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
Genesis 24:36	And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old: and to him he has given all that he has.
Genesis 24:37	And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Genesis 24:38	but you shall go to my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son.
Genesis 24:39	And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.
Genesis 24:40	And he said to me, Yehovah, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:
Genesis 24:41	then you shall be clear from my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they do not give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.
Genesis 24:42	And I came this day to the fountain, and said, O Yehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now you will prosper my way which I go:
Genesis 24:43	behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and let it happen, that the maiden who comes forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink;
Genesis 24:44	and she shall say to me, Drink, and I will also draw for your camels: let her be the woman whom Yehovah has appointed for my master’s son.
Genesis 24:45	And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the fountain, and drew: and I said to her, Please let me drink.
Genesis 24:46	And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Genesis 24:47	And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Genesis 24:48	And I bowed my head, and worshipped Yehovah, and blessed Yehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son.
Genesis 24:49	And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
Genesis 24:50	Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceeds from Yehovah: we cannot speak to you bad or good.
Genesis 24:51	Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her, and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Yehovah has spoken.
Genesis 24:52	And it happened, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yehovah.
Genesis 24:53	And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
Genesis 24:54	And they ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.
Genesis 24:55	And her brother and her mother said, Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
Genesis 24:56	And he said to them, Do not hinder me, seeing Yehovah has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Genesis 24:57	And they said, We will call the young woman, and ask her.
Genesis 24:58	And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Genesis 24:59	And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.
Genesis 24:60	And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, Our sister, become the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them.
Genesis 24:61	And Rebekah arose, and her maids, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Genesis 24:62	And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South.
Genesis 24:63	And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.
Genesis 24:64	And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she got down from the camel.
Genesis 24:65	And she said to the servant, What man is this that walks in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself.
Genesis 24:66	And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Genesis 24:67	And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
Genesis 25:1	And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
Genesis 25:2	And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Genesis 25:3	And Jokshan fathered Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Genesis 25:4	And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Genesis 25:5	And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Genesis 25:6	But to the sons of the concubines, whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still living, eastward, to the east country.
Genesis 25:7	And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
Genesis 25:8	And Abraham breathed his last, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
Genesis 25:9	And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Genesis 25:10	the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth: there Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
Genesis 25:11	And it happened after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son: and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
Genesis 25:12	Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore to Abraham:
Genesis 25:13	and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Genesis 25:14	and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Genesis 25:15	Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Genesis 25:16	these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.
Genesis 25:17	And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years: and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.
Genesis 25:18	And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria: he settled opposite all his brothers.
Genesis 25:19	And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac:
Genesis 25:20	and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
Genesis 25:21	And Isaac entreated Yehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Yehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Genesis 25:22	And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why do I live? And she went to inquire of Yehovah.
Genesis 25:23	And Yehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb, And two peoples shall be separated from your bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.
Genesis 25:24	And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Genesis 25:25	And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Genesis 25:26	And after that his brother came forth, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Genesis 25:27	And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
Genesis 25:28	Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
Genesis 25:29	And Jacob cooked stew: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:
Genesis 25:30	and Esau said to Jacob, Please feed me with that same red stew; for I am faint: therefore his name was called Edom.
Genesis 25:31	And Jacob said, Sell me first your birthright.
Genesis 25:32	And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?
Genesis 25:33	And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he swore to him: and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
Genesis 25:34	And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
Genesis 26:1	And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
Genesis 26:2	And Yehovah appeared to him, and said, Do not go down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell you of:
Genesis 26:3	sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father;
Genesis 26:4	and I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;
Genesis 26:5	because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Genesis 26:6	And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Genesis 26:7	and the men of the place asked him about his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, he said, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was beautiful to look upon.
Genesis 26:8	And it happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah his wife.
Genesis 26:9	And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, surely she is your wife: and how could you say, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.
Genesis 26:10	And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? one of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guiltiness upon us.
Genesis 26:11	And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Genesis 26:12	And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Yehovah blessed him.
Genesis 26:13	And the man became great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
Genesis 26:14	and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
Genesis 26:15	Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.
Genesis 26:16	And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from us; for you are much mightier than we.
Genesis 26:17	And Isaac departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Genesis 26:18	And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Genesis 26:19	And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Genesis 26:20	And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Genesis 26:21	And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called its name Sitnah.
Genesis 26:22	And he moved from there, and dug another well; and for that they did not strive: and he called its name Rehoboth; and he said, For now Yehovah has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Genesis 26:23	And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.
Genesis 26:24	And Yehovah appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: do not fear, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham’s sake.
Genesis 26:25	And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of Yehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.
Genesis 26:26	Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the commander of his army.
Genesis 26:27	And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Genesis 26:28	And they said, We saw plainly that Yehovah was with you: and we said, Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,
Genesis 26:29	that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of Yehovah.
Genesis 26:30	And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.
Genesis 26:31	And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Genesis 26:32	And it happened the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.
Genesis 26:33	And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.
Genesis 26:34	And when Esau was forty years old he took as wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Genesis 26:35	and they were a grief of mind to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Genesis 27:1	And it happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son: and he said to him, Here I am.
Genesis 27:2	And he said, Behold now, I am old, I do not know the day of my death.
Genesis 27:3	Now therefore please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me;
Genesis 27:4	and make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless you before I die.
Genesis 27:5	And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for game, and to bring it.
Genesis 27:6	And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Genesis 27:7	Bring me game, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yehovah before my death.
Genesis 27:8	Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
Genesis 27:9	Go now to the flock, and fetch me from there two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves:
Genesis 27:10	and you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death.
Genesis 27:11	And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Genesis 27:12	Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Genesis 27:13	And his mother said to him, Upon me be your curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch them for me.
Genesis 27:14	And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Genesis 27:15	And Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son;
Genesis 27:16	and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Genesis 27:17	and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Genesis 27:18	And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here I am; who are you, my son?
Genesis 27:19	And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your first-born; I have done as you told me: please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.
Genesis 27:20	And Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Yehovah your God granted me success.
Genesis 27:21	And Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.
Genesis 27:22	And Jacob went near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Genesis 27:23	And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
Genesis 27:24	And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.
Genesis 27:25	And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, that my soul may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he ate: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Genesis 27:26	And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Genesis 27:27	And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son Is as the smell of a field which Yehovah has blessed:
Genesis 27:28	And God give you of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of grain and new wine:
Genesis 27:29	Let peoples serve you, And nations bow down to you: Be lord over your brothers, And let your mother’s sons bow down to you: Cursed be everyone who curses you, And blessed be everyone who blesses you.
Genesis 27:30	And it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Genesis 27:31	And he also made savory food, and brought it to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.
Genesis 27:32	And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your first-born, Esau.
Genesis 27:33	And Isaac trembled very greatly, and said, Who then is he who has hunted game, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? yes, and he shall be blessed.
Genesis 27:34	When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Genesis 27:35	And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing.
Genesis 27:36	And he said, Is he not rightly named Jacob? for he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?
Genesis 27:37	And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him: and what then shall I do for you, my son?
Genesis 27:38	And Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Genesis 27:39	And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling, And of the dew of heaven from above;
Genesis 27:40	And by your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; And it shall happen, when you break loose, That you shall shake his yoke from off your neck.
Genesis 27:41	And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will slay my brother Jacob.
Genesis 27:42	And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah; and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau, concerning you, comforts himself, purposing to kill you.
Genesis 27:43	Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee to Laban my brother to Haran;
Genesis 27:44	and stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away;
Genesis 27:45	until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets that which you have done to him: then I will send, and fetch you from there: why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?
Genesis 27:46	And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Genesis 28:1	And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Genesis 28:2	Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.
Genesis 28:3	And God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples;
Genesis 28:4	and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you; that you may inherit the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.
Genesis 28:5	And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Genesis 28:6	Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take a wife from there; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Genesis 28:7	and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and had gone to Paddan-aram:
Genesis 28:8	and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac his father;
Genesis 28:9	and Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Genesis 28:10	And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.
Genesis 28:11	And he came upon a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Genesis 28:12	And he dreamed; and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Genesis 28:13	And, behold, Yehovah stood above it, and said, I am Yehovah, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which you lie, to you I will give it, and to your seed;
Genesis 28:14	and your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Genesis 28:15	And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of.
Genesis 28:16	And Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Yehovah is in this place; and I did not know it.
Genesis 28:17	And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Genesis 28:18	And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
Genesis 28:19	And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at first.
Genesis 28:20	And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Genesis 28:21	so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Yehovah will be my God,
Genesis 28:22	then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that you shall give me I will surely give the tenth to you.
Genesis 29:1	Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.
Genesis 29:2	And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field, and, look, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great.
Genesis 29:3	And there all the flocks were gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone back on the well’s mouth in its place.
Genesis 29:4	And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.
Genesis 29:5	And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Genesis 29:6	And he said to them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
Genesis 29:7	And he said, Look, it is still high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water the sheep, and go and feed them.
Genesis 29:8	And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
Genesis 29:9	While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them.
Genesis 29:10	And it happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
Genesis 29:11	And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Genesis 29:12	And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
Genesis 29:13	And it happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Genesis 29:14	And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him for a month.
Genesis 29:15	And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall your wages be?
Genesis 29:16	And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Genesis 29:17	And Leah’s eyes were weak; but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.
Genesis 29:18	And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
Genesis 29:19	And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man: stay with me.
Genesis 29:20	And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him only a few days, for the love he had for her.
Genesis 29:21	And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
Genesis 29:22	And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Genesis 29:23	And it happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
Genesis 29:24	And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.
Genesis 29:25	And it happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? did I not serve with you for Rachel? why then have you deceived me?
Genesis 29:26	And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.
Genesis 29:27	Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me another seven years.
Genesis 29:28	And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.
Genesis 29:29	And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid.
Genesis 29:30	And he went in also to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him another seven years.
Genesis 29:31	And Yehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
Genesis 29:32	And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because Yehovah has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me.
Genesis 29:33	And she conceived again, and bore a son: and said, Because Yehovah has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
Genesis 29:34	And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore his name was called Levi.
Genesis 29:35	And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, This time I will praise Yehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she stopped bearing.
Genesis 30:1	And when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said to Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Genesis 30:2	And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?
Genesis 30:3	And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in to her; that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her.
Genesis 30:4	And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife: and Jacob went in to her.
Genesis 30:5	And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.
Genesis 30:6	And Rachel said, God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son: therefore she called his name Dan.
Genesis 30:7	And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.
Genesis 30:8	And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Genesis 30:9	When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as wife.
Genesis 30:10	And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bore Jacob a son.
Genesis 30:11	And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad.
Genesis 30:12	And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bore Jacob a second son.
Genesis 30:13	And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher.
Genesis 30:14	And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.
Genesis 30:15	And she said to her, Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? and would you take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.
Genesis 30:16	And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
Genesis 30:17	And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.
Genesis 30:18	And Leah said, God has given me my wages, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
Genesis 30:19	And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Genesis 30:20	And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
Genesis 30:21	And afterwards she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Genesis 30:22	And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.
Genesis 30:23	And she conceived, and bore a son: and said, God has taken away my reproach:
Genesis 30:24	and she called his name Joseph, saying, Yehovah add to me another son.
Genesis 30:25	And it happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.
Genesis 30:26	Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go: for you know my service with which I have served you.
Genesis 30:27	And Laban said to him, If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay: for I have divined that Yehovah has blessed me for your sake.
Genesis 30:28	And he said, Name me your wages, and I will give it.
Genesis 30:29	And he said to him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me.
Genesis 30:30	For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude; and Yehovah has blessed you wherever I turned: and now when shall I provide for my own house also?
Genesis 30:31	And he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything: if you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.
Genesis 30:32	I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and such shall be my wages.
Genesis 30:33	So my righteousness shall answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages that are before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, if found with me, shall be counted stolen.
Genesis 30:34	And Laban said, Behold, let it be according to your word.
Genesis 30:35	And he removed that day the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons;
Genesis 30:36	and he set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.
Genesis 30:37	And Jacob took for himself rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Genesis 30:38	And he set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink.
Genesis 30:39	And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.
Genesis 30:40	And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban’s flock.
Genesis 30:41	And it happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;
Genesis 30:42	but when the flock were feeble, he did not put them in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s.
Genesis 30:43	And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
Genesis 31:1	And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s he has gotten all this glory.
Genesis 31:2	And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
Genesis 31:3	And Yehovah said to Jacob, Return to the land of your fathers, and to your kindred; and I will be with you.
Genesis 31:4	And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
Genesis 31:5	and said to them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
Genesis 31:6	And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
Genesis 31:7	And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God did not allow him to hurt me.
Genesis 31:8	If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the flock bore speckled: and if he said thus, The striped shall be your wages; then all the flock bore striped.
Genesis 31:9	Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Genesis 31:10	And it happened at the time that the flock conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the male goats which mated with the flock were striped, speckled, and grizzled.
Genesis 31:11	And the angel of God said to me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here I am.
Genesis 31:12	And he said, Lift up now your eyes, and see: all the male goats which mate with the flock are striped, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban does to you.
Genesis 31:13	I am the God of Beth-el, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed a vow to me: now arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.
Genesis 31:14	And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?
Genesis 31:15	Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? for he has sold us, and has also completely devoured our money.
Genesis 31:16	For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s: now then, whatever God has said to you, do.
Genesis 31:17	Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;
Genesis 31:18	and he carried away all his cattle, and all his possessions which he had gathered, the cattle of his acquiring, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.
Genesis 31:19	Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s.
Genesis 31:20	And Jacob stole away from Laban the Syrian unawares, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
Genesis 31:21	So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
Genesis 31:22	And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Genesis 31:23	And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
Genesis 31:24	And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to yourself that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
Genesis 31:25	And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brothers encamped in the mountain of Gilead.
Genesis 31:26	And Laban said to Jacob, What have you done, that you have stolen away from me unawares, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Genesis 31:27	Why did you flee secretly, and steal away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
Genesis 31:28	and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now you have done foolishly.
Genesis 31:29	It is in the power of my hand to do you harm: but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to yourself that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
Genesis 31:30	And now, though you had to go, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, yet why have you stolen my gods?
Genesis 31:31	And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest you should take your daughters from me by force.
Genesis 31:32	With whomever you find your gods, he shall not live: before our brothers point out what is yours with me, and take it. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Genesis 31:33	And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent.
Genesis 31:34	Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but did not find them.
Genesis 31:35	And she said to her father, Let my lord not be angry that I cannot rise up before you; for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but did not find the teraphim.
Genesis 31:36	And Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me?
Genesis 31:37	Though you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between us two.
Genesis 31:38	These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of your flocks I have not eaten.
Genesis 31:39	That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore its loss; from my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
Genesis 31:40	Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.
Genesis 31:41	These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock: and you have changed my wages ten times.
Genesis 31:42	Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.
Genesis 31:43	And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children whom they have borne?
Genesis 31:44	And now come, let us make a covenant, I and you; and let it be for a witness between me and you.
Genesis 31:45	And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Genesis 31:46	And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they ate there by the heap.
Genesis 31:47	And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
Genesis 31:48	And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and you this day. Therefore its name was called Galeed:
Genesis 31:49	and Mizpah, for he said, Yehovah watch between me and you, when we are absent one from another.
Genesis 31:50	If you afflict my daughters, and if you take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness between me and you.
Genesis 31:51	And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set between me and you.
Genesis 31:52	This heap is witness, and the pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
Genesis 31:53	The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Genesis 31:54	And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread: and they ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain.
Genesis 31:55	And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned to his place.
Genesis 32:1	And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Genesis 32:2	And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s camp: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Genesis 32:3	And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Genesis 32:4	And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:
Genesis 32:5	and I have oxen, and donkeys, and flocks, and male servants, and female servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.
Genesis 32:6	And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and moreover he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
Genesis 32:7	Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;
Genesis 32:8	and he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left shall escape.
Genesis 32:9	And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Yehovah, who said to me, Return to your country, and to your kindred, and I will do you good:
Genesis 32:10	I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
Genesis 32:11	Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, the mother with the children.
Genesis 32:12	And you said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Genesis 32:13	And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
Genesis 32:14	two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
Genesis 32:15	thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
Genesis 32:16	And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
Genesis 32:17	And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Whose are you? and where are you going? and whose are these before you?
Genesis 32:18	then you shall say, They are your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us.
Genesis 32:19	And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner you shall speak to Esau, when you find him;
Genesis 32:20	and you shall say, Moreover, behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.
Genesis 32:21	So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company.
Genesis 32:22	And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
Genesis 32:23	And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Genesis 32:24	And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
Genesis 32:25	And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him.
Genesis 32:26	And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, unless you bless me.
Genesis 32:27	And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
Genesis 32:28	And he said, Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel: for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.
Genesis 32:29	And Jacob asked him, and said, Please tell me your name. And he said, Why is it that you ask my name? And he blessed him there.
Genesis 32:30	And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, he said, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Genesis 32:31	And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh.
Genesis 32:32	Therefore the children of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
Genesis 33:1	And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Genesis 33:2	And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Genesis 33:3	And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Genesis 33:4	And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Genesis 33:5	And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given your servant.
Genesis 33:6	Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis 33:7	And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after that Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis 33:8	And he said, What do you mean by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
Genesis 33:9	And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.
Genesis 33:10	And Jacob said, No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand; since I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Genesis 33:11	Please take my gift that is brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
Genesis 33:12	And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you.
Genesis 33:13	And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
Genesis 33:14	Please let my lord pass over before his servant: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
Genesis 33:15	And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What need is there? let me find favor in the sight of my lord.
Genesis 33:16	So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Genesis 33:17	And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Genesis 33:18	And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
Genesis 33:19	And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, from the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money.
Genesis 33:20	And he erected there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Genesis 34:1	And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Genesis 34:2	And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
Genesis 34:3	And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spoke kindly to the young woman.
Genesis 34:4	And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this young woman as wife.
Genesis 34:5	Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came.
Genesis 34:6	And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Genesis 34:7	And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
Genesis 34:8	And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter: please give her to him as wife.
Genesis 34:9	And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
Genesis 34:10	And you shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade in it, and get possessions in it.
Genesis 34:11	And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what you shall say to me I will give.
Genesis 34:12	Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as you say to me: but give me the young woman as wife.
Genesis 34:13	And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Genesis 34:14	and said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach to us.
Genesis 34:15	Only on this condition we will consent to you: if you will be as we are, that every male of you is circumcised;
Genesis 34:16	then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
Genesis 34:17	But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised; then we will take our daughter, and we will go.
Genesis 34:18	And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
Genesis 34:19	And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father.
Genesis 34:20	And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
Genesis 34:21	These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it; for, behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Genesis 34:22	Only on this condition the men will consent to us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Genesis 34:23	Shall not their cattle and their possessions and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.
Genesis 34:24	And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Genesis 34:25	And it happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.
Genesis 34:26	And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went forth.
Genesis 34:27	The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Genesis 34:28	They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;
Genesis 34:29	and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, they took captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.
Genesis 34:30	And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and strike me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Genesis 34:31	And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?
Genesis 35:1	And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
Genesis 35:2	Then Jacob said to his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments:
Genesis 35:3	and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Genesis 35:4	And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Genesis 35:5	And they journeyed: and a terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Genesis 35:6	So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (that is, Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him.
Genesis 35:7	And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Genesis 35:8	And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and its name was called Allon-bacuth.
Genesis 35:9	And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
Genesis 35:10	And God said to him, Your name is Jacob: your name shall not be called Jacob any more, but Israel shall be your name: and he called his name Israel.
Genesis 35:11	And God said to him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins;
Genesis 35:12	and the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, to you I will give it, and to your seed after you I will give the land.
Genesis 35:13	And God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Genesis 35:14	And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering on it, and poured oil on it.
Genesis 35:15	And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Beth-el.
Genesis 35:16	And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.
Genesis 35:17	And it happened, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Do not fear; for now you shall have another son.
Genesis 35:18	And it happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Genesis 35:19	And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (that is, Beth-lehem).
Genesis 35:20	And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: that is the Pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.
Genesis 35:21	And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.
Genesis 35:22	And it happened, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Genesis 35:23	the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;
Genesis 35:24	the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
Genesis 35:25	and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;
Genesis 35:26	and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Genesis 35:27	And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Genesis 35:28	And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.
Genesis 35:29	And Isaac breathed his last, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Genesis 36:1	Now these are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).
Genesis 36:2	Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,
Genesis 36:3	and Basemath Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.
Genesis 36:4	And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Basemath bore Reuel;
Genesis 36:5	and Oholibamah bore Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 36:6	And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the souls of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan; and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.
Genesis 36:7	For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; and the land of their sojournings could not bear them because of their cattle.
Genesis 36:8	And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
Genesis 36:9	And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
Genesis 36:10	these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau.
Genesis 36:11	And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
Genesis 36:12	And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son; and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek: these are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.
Genesis 36:13	And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
Genesis 36:14	And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bore to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.
Genesis 36:15	These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the first-born of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,
Genesis 36:16	chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek: these are the chiefs that came from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah.
Genesis 36:17	And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah: these are the chiefs that came from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
Genesis 36:18	And these are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah: these are the chiefs that came from Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.
Genesis 36:19	These are the sons of Esau, and these are their chiefs: that is, Edom.
Genesis 36:20	These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah,
Genesis 36:21	and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan: these are the chiefs that came from the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
Genesis 36:22	And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman; and Lotan’s sister was Timna.
Genesis 36:23	And these are the children of Shobal: Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho and Onam.
Genesis 36:24	And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; this is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father.
Genesis 36:25	And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah.
Genesis 36:26	And these are the children of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran.
Genesis 36:27	These are the children of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan.
Genesis 36:28	These are the children of Dishan: Uz and Aran.
Genesis 36:29	These are the chiefs that came from the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah,
Genesis 36:30	chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan: these are the chiefs that came from the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.
Genesis 36:31	And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
Genesis 36:32	And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom; and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
Genesis 36:33	And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
Genesis 36:34	And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
Genesis 36:35	And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place: and the name of his city was Avith.
Genesis 36:36	And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
Genesis 36:37	And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his place.
Genesis 36:38	And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
Genesis 36:39	And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.
Genesis 36:40	And these are the names of the chiefs that came from Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,
Genesis 36:41	chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,
Genesis 36:42	chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
Genesis 36:43	chief Magdiel, chief Iram: these are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
Genesis 37:1	And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 37:2	These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them to their father.
Genesis 37:3	Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
Genesis 37:4	And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Genesis 37:5	And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers: and they hated him even more.
Genesis 37:6	And he said to them, Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
Genesis 37:7	for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, look, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves gathered around, and bowed down to my sheaf.
Genesis 37:8	And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him even more for his dreams, and for his words.
Genesis 37:9	And he dreamed still another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.
Genesis 37:10	And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?
Genesis 37:11	And his brothers envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.
Genesis 37:12	And his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
Genesis 37:13	And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here I am.
Genesis 37:14	And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring word back to me. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Genesis 37:15	And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What are you seeking?
Genesis 37:16	And he said, I am seeking my brothers: please tell me where they are feeding the flock.
Genesis 37:17	And the man said, They have departed from here; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Genesis 37:18	And they saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Genesis 37:19	And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
Genesis 37:20	Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast has devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Genesis 37:21	And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
Genesis 37:22	And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him: that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
Genesis 37:23	And it happened, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
Genesis 37:24	and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
Genesis 37:25	And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Genesis 37:26	And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?
Genesis 37:27	Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let our hand not be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers listened to him.
Genesis 37:28	And there passed by Midianites, merchants; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Genesis 37:29	And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
Genesis 37:30	And he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not there; and I, where shall I go?
Genesis 37:31	And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Genesis 37:32	and they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This we have found: know now whether it is your son’s coat or not.
Genesis 37:33	And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat: an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.
Genesis 37:34	And Jacob tore his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Genesis 37:35	And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him.
Genesis 37:36	And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
Genesis 38:1	And it happened at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Genesis 38:2	And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her.
Genesis 38:3	And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
Genesis 38:4	And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
Genesis 38:5	And she once again bore a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
Genesis 38:6	And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
Genesis 38:7	And Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of Yehovah; and Yehovah slew him.
Genesis 38:8	And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother.
Genesis 38:9	And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it happened, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
Genesis 38:10	And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Yehovah: and he slew him also.
Genesis 38:11	Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in your father’s house, till Shelah my son has grown up; for he said, Lest he also die, like his brothers. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
Genesis 38:12	And in the course of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Genesis 38:13	And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, your father-in-law goes up to Timnah to shear his sheep.
Genesis 38:14	And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as wife.
Genesis 38:15	When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a prostitute; for she had covered her face.
Genesis 38:16	And he turned to her by the way, and said, Come, please let me come in to you: for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me, that you may come in to me?
Genesis 38:17	And he said, I will send you a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge, till you send it?
Genesis 38:18	And he said, What pledge shall I give you? And she said, Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand. And he gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.
Genesis 38:19	And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Genesis 38:20	And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand: but he did not find her.
Genesis 38:21	Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, who was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There has been no prostitute here.
Genesis 38:22	And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There has been no prostitute here.
Genesis 38:23	And Judah said, Let her keep it for herself, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.
Genesis 38:24	And it happened about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Genesis 38:25	When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose these are, I am with child: and she said, Please discern whose these are, the signet, and the cords, and the staff.
Genesis 38:26	And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Genesis 38:27	And it happened in the time of her labor, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
Genesis 38:28	And it happened, when she was in labor, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Genesis 38:29	And it happened, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, Why have you made a breach for yourself? therefore his name was called Perez.
Genesis 38:30	And afterward his brother came out, who had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah.
Genesis 39:1	And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites, who had brought him down there.
Genesis 39:2	And Yehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Genesis 39:3	And his master saw that Yehovah was with him, and that Yehovah made all that he did prosper in his hand.
Genesis 39:4	And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered to him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Genesis 39:5	And it happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yehovah blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Yehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field.
Genesis 39:6	And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he did not know anything that was with him, except the bread which he ate. And Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.
Genesis 39:7	And it happened after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
Genesis 39:8	But he refused, and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand:
Genesis 39:9	he is not greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Genesis 39:10	And it happened, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Genesis 39:11	And it happened about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
Genesis 39:12	And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got out.
Genesis 39:13	And it happened, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled out,
Genesis 39:14	that she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us: he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
Genesis 39:15	and it happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got out.
Genesis 39:16	And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.
Genesis 39:17	And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me:
Genesis 39:18	and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out.
Genesis 39:19	And it happened, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, In this manner your servant did to me; that his wrath was kindled.
Genesis 39:20	And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
Genesis 39:21	But Yehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Genesis 39:22	And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it.
Genesis 39:23	The keeper of the prison did not look to anything that was under his hand, because Yehovah was with him; and that which he did, Yehovah made it prosper.
Genesis 40:1	And it happened after these things, that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Genesis 40:2	And Pharaoh was angry against his two officers, against the chief of the cupbearers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Genesis 40:3	And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
Genesis 40:4	And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered to them: and they continued for a time in custody.
Genesis 40:5	And both of them dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.
Genesis 40:6	And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad.
Genesis 40:7	And he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in custody in his master’s house, saying, Why do you look so sad today?
Genesis 40:8	And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? please tell it to me.
Genesis 40:9	And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Genesis 40:10	and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes:
Genesis 40:11	and Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.
Genesis 40:12	And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;
Genesis 40:13	within three more days Pharaoh shall lift up your head, and restore you to your office: and you shall give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when you were his cupbearer.
Genesis 40:14	But have me in your remembrance when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Genesis 40:15	for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Genesis 40:16	When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:
Genesis 40:17	and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.
Genesis 40:18	And Joseph answered and said, This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days;
Genesis 40:19	within three more days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree; and the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.
Genesis 40:20	And it happened the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Genesis 40:21	And he restored the chief cupbearer to his position again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:
Genesis 40:22	but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Genesis 40:23	Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Genesis 41:1	And it happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Genesis 41:2	And, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, attractive and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass.
Genesis 41:3	And, behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other cows upon the brink of the river.
Genesis 41:4	And the ugly and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven attractive and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
Genesis 41:5	And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, plump and good.
Genesis 41:6	And, behold, seven ears, thin and scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them.
Genesis 41:7	And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Genesis 41:8	And it happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:9	Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I remember my faults this day:
Genesis 41:10	Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:
Genesis 41:11	and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Genesis 41:12	And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he interpreted.
Genesis 41:13	And it happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored to my office, and him he hanged.
Genesis 41:14	Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:15	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it: and I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.
Genesis 41:16	And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Genesis 41:17	And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:
Genesis 41:18	and, behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fat-fleshed and attractive: and they fed in the reed-grass:
Genesis 41:19	and, behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
Genesis 41:20	and the lean and ugly cows ate up the first seven fat cows:
Genesis 41:21	and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Genesis 41:22	And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:
Genesis 41:23	and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted after them:
Genesis 41:24	and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it to the magicians; but there was no one who could declare it to me.
Genesis 41:25	And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:26	The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Genesis 41:27	And the seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears scorched by the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine.
Genesis 41:28	That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh: what God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:29	Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Genesis 41:30	and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
Genesis 41:31	and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it shall be very grievous.
Genesis 41:32	And because the dream was doubled to Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Genesis 41:33	Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:34	Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years.
Genesis 41:35	And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
Genesis 41:36	And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land may not perish through the famine.
Genesis 41:37	And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Genesis 41:38	And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?
Genesis 41:39	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Since God has shown you all this, there is no one so discreet and wise as you:
Genesis 41:40	you shall be over my house, and according to your word all my people shall be ruled: only in the throne I will be greater than you.
Genesis 41:41	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:42	And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
Genesis 41:43	and he made him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:44	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you no man shall lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:45	And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him as wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:46	And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:47	And in the seven plentiful years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Genesis 41:48	And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was all around every city, he laid up in it.
Genesis 41:49	And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting; for it was without number.
Genesis 41:50	And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bore to him.
Genesis 41:51	And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For, he said, God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.
Genesis 41:52	And the name of the second he called Ephraim: For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Genesis 41:53	And the seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Genesis 41:54	And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Genesis 41:55	And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he says to you, do.
Genesis 41:56	And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold to the Egyptians; and the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:57	And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Genesis 42:1	Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, Why do you look one upon another?
Genesis 42:2	And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: go down there, and buy for us from there; that we may live, and not die.
Genesis 42:3	And Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Genesis 42:4	But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers; for he said, Lest perhaps harm befall him.
Genesis 42:5	And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 42:6	And Joseph was the governor over the land; it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.
Genesis 42:7	And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself strange to them, and spoke roughly with them; and he said to them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Genesis 42:8	And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Genesis 42:9	And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said to them, You are spies; to see the nakedness of the land you have come.
Genesis 42:10	And they said to him, No, my lord, but to buy food your servants have come.
Genesis 42:11	We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, your servants are no spies.
Genesis 42:12	And he said to them, No, but to see the nakedness of the land you have come.
Genesis 42:13	And they said, We your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Genesis 42:14	And Joseph said to them, That is it that I spoke to you, saying, You are spies:
Genesis 42:15	by this you shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh you shall not go forth from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
Genesis 42:16	Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there is truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.
Genesis 42:17	And he put them all together into custody three days.
Genesis 42:18	And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
Genesis 42:19	if you are true men, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison-house; but go, carry grain for the famine of your houses:
Genesis 42:20	and bring your youngest brother to me; so your words shall be verified, and you shall not die. And they did so.
Genesis 42:21	And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; therefore this distress has come upon us.
Genesis 42:22	And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and you would not hear? therefore also, behold, his blood is required.
Genesis 42:23	And they did not know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
Genesis 42:24	And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.
Genesis 42:25	Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus it was done to them.
Genesis 42:26	And they loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
Genesis 42:27	And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder in the lodging-place, he saw his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
Genesis 42:28	And he said to his brothers, My money is restored; and, look, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God has done to us?
Genesis 42:29	And they came to Jacob their father to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,
Genesis 42:30	The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
Genesis 42:31	And we said to him, We are true men; we are no spies:
Genesis 42:32	we are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 42:33	And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that you are true men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way;
Genesis 42:34	and bring your youngest brother to me: then I shall know that you are no spies, but that you are true men: so I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.
Genesis 42:35	And it happened as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
Genesis 42:36	And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
Genesis 42:37	And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I do not bring him to you: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.
Genesis 42:38	And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left: if harm befalls him by the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
Genesis 43:1	And the famine was severe in the land.
Genesis 43:2	And it happened, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Genesis 43:3	And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man solemnly warned us, saying, You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.
Genesis 43:4	If you will send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you food:
Genesis 43:5	but if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.
Genesis 43:6	And Israel said, Why did you treat me so badly, as to tell the man whether you still had a brother?
Genesis 43:7	And they said, The man asked closely concerning ourselves, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father still alive? do you have another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we in any way know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
Genesis 43:8	And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
Genesis 43:9	I will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him: if I do not bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever:
Genesis 43:10	for if we had not lingered, surely we would now have returned a second time.
Genesis 43:11	And their father Israel said to them, If it is so now, do this: take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down a present to the man, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;
Genesis 43:12	and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry back in your hand; perhaps it was an oversight:
Genesis 43:13	take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man:
Genesis 43:14	and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
Genesis 43:15	And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Genesis 43:16	And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house, and slaughter, and make ready; for the men shall dine with me at noon.
Genesis 43:17	And the man did as Joseph told him; and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house.
Genesis 43:18	And the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time we are brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for slaves, and our donkeys.
Genesis 43:19	And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
Genesis 43:20	and said, Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food:
Genesis 43:21	and it happened, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it back in our hand.
Genesis 43:22	And other money we have brought down in our hand to buy food: we do not know who put our money in our sacks.
Genesis 43:23	And he said, Peace be to you, do not fear: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.
Genesis 43:24	And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder.
Genesis 43:25	And they made ready the present for Joseph’s coming at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Genesis 43:26	And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to him to the earth.
Genesis 43:27	And he asked them about their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?
Genesis 43:28	And they said, Your servant our father is well, he is still alive. And they bowed the head, and bowed down.
Genesis 43:29	And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to you, my son.
Genesis 43:30	And Joseph made haste; for his heart yearned for his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
Genesis 43:31	And he washed his face, and came out; and he refrained himself, and said, Serve the bread.
Genesis 43:32	And they served him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Genesis 43:33	And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one with another.
Genesis 43:34	And he took and sent portions to them from before him: but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Genesis 44:1	And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
Genesis 44:2	And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Genesis 44:3	As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Genesis 44:4	And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, Why have you rewarded evil for good?
Genesis 44:5	Is not this that in which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? you have done evil in so doing.
Genesis 44:6	And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
Genesis 44:7	And they said to him, Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing.
Genesis 44:8	Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought back to you out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of your lord’s house silver or gold?
Genesis 44:9	With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.
Genesis 44:10	And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found shall be my slave; and you shall be blameless.
Genesis 44:11	Then they hurried, and each man took down his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
Genesis 44:12	And he searched, and began at the eldest, and ended at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
Genesis 44:13	Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
Genesis 44:14	And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house; and he was still there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Genesis 44:15	And Joseph said to them, What deed is this that you have done? do you not know that such a man as I can indeed divine?
Genesis 44:16	And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants: behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found.
Genesis 44:17	And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.
Genesis 44:18	Then Judah came near to him, and said, Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
Genesis 44:19	My lord asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father, or a brother?
Genesis 44:20	And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.
Genesis 44:21	And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.
Genesis 44:22	And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
Genesis 44:23	And you said to your servants, Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.
Genesis 44:24	And it happened when we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Genesis 44:25	And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food.
Genesis 44:26	And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.
Genesis 44:27	And your servant my father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons:
Genesis 44:28	and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:
Genesis 44:29	and if you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.
Genesis 44:30	Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
Genesis 44:31	it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
Genesis 44:32	For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father forever.
Genesis 44:33	Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brothers.
Genesis 44:34	For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad is not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Genesis 45:1	Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all those who stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Genesis 45:2	And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Genesis 45:3	And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph; does my father still live? And his brothers could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Genesis 45:4	And Joseph said to his brothers, Please come near to me. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Genesis 45:5	And now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here: for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Genesis 45:6	For these two years the famine has been in the land: and there are still five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest.
Genesis 45:7	And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.
Genesis 45:8	So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 45:9	Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, do not delay;
Genesis 45:10	and you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you, and your children, and your children’s children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that you have:
Genesis 45:11	and there I will nourish you; for there are still five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.
Genesis 45:12	And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
Genesis 45:13	And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen: and you shall hurry and bring down my father here.
Genesis 45:14	And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Genesis 45:15	And he kissed all his brothers, and wept upon them: and after that his brothers talked with him.
Genesis 45:16	And its report was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brothers have come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Genesis 45:17	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: load your beasts, and go on to the land of Canaan;
Genesis 45:18	and take your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.
Genesis 45:19	Now you are commanded, do this: take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Genesis 45:20	Also do not be concerned about your goods; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Genesis 45:21	And the sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Genesis 45:22	To all of them he gave each man changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of clothing.
Genesis 45:23	And to his father he sent in this manner: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
Genesis 45:24	So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that you do not quarrel on the way.
Genesis 45:25	And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
Genesis 45:26	And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
Genesis 45:27	And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
Genesis 45:28	and Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Genesis 46:1	And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Genesis 46:2	And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am.
Genesis 46:3	And he said, I am God, the God of your father: do not fear to go down into Egypt; for there I will make of you a great nation:
Genesis 46:4	I will go down with you into Egypt; and I will also surely bring you up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes.
Genesis 46:5	And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Genesis 46:6	And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Genesis 46:7	his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.
Genesis 46:8	And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born.
Genesis 46:9	And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, and Pallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
Genesis 46:10	And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
Genesis 46:11	And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Genesis 46:12	And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
Genesis 46:13	And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and Shimron.
Genesis 46:14	And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
Genesis 46:15	These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three.
Genesis 46:16	And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
Genesis 46:17	And the sons of Asher: Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel.
Genesis 46:18	These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls.
Genesis 46:19	The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
Genesis 46:20	And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bore to him.
Genesis 46:21	And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
Genesis 46:22	These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
Genesis 46:23	And the sons of Dan: Hushim.
Genesis 46:24	And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
Genesis 46:25	These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven.
Genesis 46:26	All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, who came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty-six;
Genesis 46:27	and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.
Genesis 46:28	And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Genesis 46:29	And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Genesis 46:30	And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.
Genesis 46:31	And Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father’s house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me;
Genesis 46:32	and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Genesis 46:33	And it shall happen, when Pharaoh calls you, and says, What is your occupation?
Genesis 46:34	that you shall say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers: that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Genesis 47:1	Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Genesis 47:2	And from among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:3	And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers.
Genesis 47:4	And they said to Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land we have come; for there is no pasture for your servants’ flocks; for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan: now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
Genesis 47:5	And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Your father and your brothers have come to you:
Genesis 47:6	the land of Egypt is before you; in the best of the land make your father and your brothers dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if you know any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
Genesis 47:7	And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:8	And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of your life?
Genesis 47:9	And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Genesis 47:10	And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:11	And Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Genesis 47:12	And Joseph nourished his father, and his brothers, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families.
Genesis 47:13	And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted because of the famine.
Genesis 47:14	And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
Genesis 47:15	And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in your presence? for our money fails.
Genesis 47:16	And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fails.
Genesis 47:17	And they brought their cattle to Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year.
Genesis 47:18	And when that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, We will not hide from my lord, that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord’s; there is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
Genesis 47:19	why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land may not be desolate.
Genesis 47:20	So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians each sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them: and the land became Pharaoh’s.
Genesis 47:21	And as for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to its other end.
Genesis 47:22	Only the land of the priests he did not buy: for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land.
Genesis 47:23	Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
Genesis 47:24	And it shall happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your households, and for food for your little ones.
Genesis 47:25	And they said, You have saved our lives: let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.
Genesis 47:26	And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s.
Genesis 47:27	And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got possessions in it, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.
Genesis 47:28	And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred and forty-seven years.
Genesis 47:29	And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: please do not bury me in Egypt;
Genesis 47:30	but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I will do as you have said.
Genesis 47:31	And he said, Swear to me: and he swore to him. And Israel bowed himself upon the head of the bed.
Genesis 48:1	And it happened after these things, that one said to Joseph, Behold, your father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Genesis 48:2	And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, your son Joseph comes to you: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
Genesis 48:3	And Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Genesis 48:4	and said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.
Genesis 48:5	And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine.
Genesis 48:6	And your offspring, whom you father after them, shall be yours; they shall be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
Genesis 48:7	And as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (that is, Beth-lehem).
Genesis 48:8	And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?
Genesis 48:9	And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.
Genesis 48:10	Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Genesis 48:11	And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face: and, look, God has let me see your seed also.
Genesis 48:12	And Joseph brought them out from between his knees; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Genesis 48:13	And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.
Genesis 48:14	And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, crossing his hands knowingly; for Manasseh was the first-born.
Genesis 48:15	And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
Genesis 48:16	the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
Genesis 48:17	And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
Genesis 48:18	And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father; for this is the first-born; put your right hand upon his head.
Genesis 48:19	And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: however his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Genesis 48:20	And he blessed them that day, saying, In you Israel will bless, saying, God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Genesis 48:21	And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die: but God will be with you, and bring you back to the land of your fathers.
Genesis 48:22	Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
Genesis 49:1	And Jacob called to his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.
Genesis 49:2	Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob; And listen to Israel your father.
Genesis 49:3	Reuben, you are my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength; The pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.
Genesis 49:4	Boiling over as water, you shall not have the pre-eminence; Because you went up to your father’s bed; Then you defiled it: he went up to my couch.
Genesis 49:5	Simeon and Levi are brothers; Weapons of violence are their swords.
Genesis 49:6	O my soul, do not come into their council; To their assembly, my glory, do not be united; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.
Genesis 49:7	Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; And their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
Genesis 49:8	Judah, your brothers shall praise you: Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father’s sons shall bow down before you.
Genesis 49:9	Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up: He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
Genesis 49:10	The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
Genesis 49:11	Binding his foal to the vine, And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; He has washed his garments in wine, And his robe in the blood of grapes:
Genesis 49:12	His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk.
Genesis 49:13	Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; And he shall be for a haven of ships; And his border shall be upon Sidon.
Genesis 49:14	Issachar is a strong donkey, Lying down between the sheepfolds:
Genesis 49:15	And he saw a resting-place that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And became a servant under forced labor.
Genesis 49:16	Dan shall judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel.
Genesis 49:17	Dan shall be a serpent in the way, An adder in the path, That bites the horse’s heels, So that his rider falls backward.
Genesis 49:18	I have waited for your salvation, O Yehovah.
Genesis 49:19	Gad, a troop shall press upon him; But he shall press upon their heel.
Genesis 49:20	Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, And he shall yield royal dainties.
Genesis 49:21	Naphtali is a hind let loose: He gives beautiful words.
Genesis 49:22	Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a fountain; His branches run over the wall.
Genesis 49:23	The archers have bitterly grieved him, And shot at him, and persecuted him:
Genesis 49:24	But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong, By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
Genesis 49:25	Even by the God of your father, who shall help you, And by the Almighty, who shall bless you, With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
Genesis 49:26	The blessings of your father Have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors To the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Genesis 49:27	Benjamin is a ravenous wolf: In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at evening he shall divide the spoil.
Genesis 49:28	All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is what their father spoke to them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Genesis 49:29	And he charged them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Genesis 49:30	in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.
Genesis 49:31	There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah—
Genesis 49:32	the field and the cave that is in it, which was purchased from the children of Heth.
Genesis 49:33	And when Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
Genesis 50:1	And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Genesis 50:2	And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Genesis 50:3	And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so the days of embalming are fulfilled: and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
Genesis 50:4	And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Genesis 50:5	My father made me swear, saying, Look, I am dying: in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me. Now therefore please let me go up, and bury my father, and I will come back.
Genesis 50:6	And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury your father, according as he made you swear.
Genesis 50:7	And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Genesis 50:8	and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
Genesis 50:9	And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Genesis 50:10	And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and bitter lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Genesis 50:11	And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: therefore its name was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
Genesis 50:12	And his sons did to him according as he commanded them:
Genesis 50:13	for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
Genesis 50:14	And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Genesis 50:15	And when Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully repay us all the evil which we did to him.
Genesis 50:16	And they sent a message to Joseph, saying, Your father commanded before he died, saying,
Genesis 50:17	So you shall say to Joseph, Please forgive now the transgression of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you. And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Genesis 50:18	And his brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are your servants.
Genesis 50:19	And Joseph said to them, Do not fear: for am I in the place of God?
Genesis 50:20	And as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to keep many people alive.
Genesis 50:21	Now therefore do not fear: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
Genesis 50:22	And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Genesis 50:23	And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph’s knees.
Genesis 50:24	And Joseph said to his brothers, I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Genesis 50:25	And Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.
Genesis 50:26	So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Exodus 1:1	Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):
Exodus 1:2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exodus 1:3	Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exodus 1:4	Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Exodus 1:5	And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already.
Exodus 1:6	And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
Exodus 1:7	And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Exodus 1:8	Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Exodus 1:9	And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
Exodus 1:10	come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen that, when any war breaks out, they also join themselves to our enemies, and fight against us, and go up out of the land.
Exodus 1:11	Therefore they set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Exodus 1:12	But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Exodus 1:13	And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor:
Exodus 1:14	and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, in which they made them serve with rigor.
Exodus 1:15	And the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Exodus 1:16	and he said, When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.
Exodus 1:17	But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but kept the male children alive.
Exodus 1:18	And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and have kept the male children alive?
Exodus 1:19	And the midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwife comes to them.
Exodus 1:20	And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and grew very mighty.
Exodus 1:21	And it happened, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households.
Exodus 1:22	And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall keep alive.
Exodus 2:1	And a man of the house of Levi went and took as his wife a daughter of Levi.
Exodus 2:2	And the woman conceived, and bore a son: and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
Exodus 2:3	And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and with pitch; and she put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s brink.
Exodus 2:4	And his sister stood far off, to know what would be done to him.
Exodus 2:5	And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the reeds, and sent her maid to fetch it.
Exodus 2:6	And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the baby wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
Exodus 2:7	Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?
Exodus 2:8	And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the child’s mother.
Exodus 2:9	And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
Exodus 2:10	And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Exodus 2:11	And it happened in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian striking a Hebrew, one of his brothers.
Exodus 2:12	And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he struck the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 2:13	And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to the one who did the wrong, Why do you strike your fellow?
Exodus 2:14	And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? do you intend to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known.
Exodus 2:15	Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Exodus 2:16	Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
Exodus 2:17	And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Exodus 2:18	And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come so soon today?
Exodus 2:19	And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.
Exodus 2:20	And he said to his daughters, And where is he? why is it that you have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
Exodus 2:21	And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Exodus 2:22	And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.
Exodus 2:23	And it happened in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up to God by reason of the bondage.
Exodus 2:24	And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exodus 2:25	And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge of them.
Exodus 3:1	Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.
Exodus 3:2	And the angel of Yehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Exodus 3:3	And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.
Exodus 3:4	And when Yehovah saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here I am.
Exodus 3:5	And he said, Do not draw near here: take your shoes off your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
Exodus 3:6	Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus 3:7	And Yehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
Exodus 3:8	and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 3:9	And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me: moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Exodus 3:10	Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Exodus 3:11	And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Exodus 3:12	And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain.
Exodus 3:13	And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they say to me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?
Exodus 3:14	And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
Exodus 3:15	And God said moreover to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, Yehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
Exodus 3:16	Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, Yehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen what is done to you in Egypt:
Exodus 3:17	and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exodus 3:18	And they shall listen to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, Yehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us: and now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yehovah our God.
Exodus 3:19	And I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
Exodus 3:20	And I will put out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of it: and after that he will let you go.
Exodus 3:21	And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall happen, that, when you go, you shall not go empty.
Exodus 3:22	But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing: and you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and you shall despoil the Egyptians.
Exodus 4:1	And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, Yehovah has not appeared to you.
Exodus 4:2	And Yehovah said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
Exodus 4:3	And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
Exodus 4:4	And Yehovah said to Moses, Put out your hand, and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand);
Exodus 4:5	that they may believe that Yehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
Exodus 4:6	And Yehovah said furthermore to him, Now put your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
Exodus 4:7	And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was restored again like his other flesh.)
Exodus 4:8	And it shall happen, if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Exodus 4:9	And it shall happen, if they will not believe even these two signs, nor listen to your voice, that you shall take some of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
Exodus 4:10	And Moses said to Yehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither in the past, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Exodus 4:11	And Yehovah said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes a man mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I, Yehovah?
Exodus 4:12	Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.
Exodus 4:13	And he said, Oh, Lord, please send by the hand of him whom you will send.
Exodus 4:14	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron your brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he is coming out to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Exodus 4:15	And you shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
Exodus 4:16	And he shall be your spokesman to the people; and it shall happen, that he shall be to you a mouth, and you shall be to him as God.
Exodus 4:17	And you shall take in your hand this rod, with which you shall do the signs.
Exodus 4:18	And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

Exodus 4:20	And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Exodus 4:21	And Yehovah said to Moses, When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
Exodus 4:22	And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Yehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born:
Exodus 4:23	and I have said to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and you have refused to let him go: behold, I will slay your son, your first-born.
Exodus 4:24	And it happened on the way at the lodging-place, that Yehovah met him, and sought to kill him.
Exodus 4:25	Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.
Exodus 4:26	So he let him alone. Then she said, You are a bridegroom of blood, because of the circumcision.
Exodus 4:27	And Yehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Exodus 4:28	And Moses told Aaron all the words of Yehovah with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had charged him.
Exodus 4:29	And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Exodus 4:30	and Aaron spoke all the words which Yehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Exodus 4:31	And the people believed: and when they heard that Yehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Exodus 5:1	And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.
Exodus 5:2	And Pharaoh said, Who is Yehovah, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I do not know Yehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.
Exodus 5:3	And they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us: please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
Exodus 5:4	And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, release the people from their works? Get to your burdens.
Exodus 5:5	And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.
Exodus 5:6	And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Exodus 5:7	You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exodus 5:8	And the number of the bricks, which they made before, you shall lay upon them; you shall not diminish any of it: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Exodus 5:9	Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor at it; and let them pay no regard to lying words.
Exodus 5:10	And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
Exodus 5:11	Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it: for none of your work shall be diminished.
Exodus 5:12	So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Exodus 5:13	And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfill your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
Exodus 5:14	And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Why have you not fulfilled your task both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?
Exodus 5:15	Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, Why do you deal this way with your servants?
Exodus 5:16	There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.
Exodus 5:17	But he said, You are idle, you are idle: therefore you say, Let us go and sacrifice to Yehovah.
Exodus 5:18	Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the number of bricks.
Exodus 5:19	And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, when it was said, You shall not diminish anything from your bricks, your daily tasks.
Exodus 5:20	And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came out from Pharaoh:
Exodus 5:21	and they said to them, Yehovah look upon you, and judge: because you have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
Exodus 5:22	And Moses returned to Yehovah, and said, Lord, why have you dealt ill with this people? why is it that you have sent me?
Exodus 5:23	For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has dealt ill with this people; neither have you delivered your people at all.
Exodus 6:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.
Exodus 6:2	And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Yehovah:
Exodus 6:3	and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yehovah I was not known to them.
Exodus 6:4	And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, in which they sojourned.
Exodus 6:5	And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Exodus 6:6	Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am Yehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:
Exodus 6:7	and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yehovah your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 6:8	And I will bring you in to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yehovah.
Exodus 6:9	And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel: but they did not listen to Moses because of anguish of spirit, and because of cruel bondage.
Exodus 6:10	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 6:11	Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 6:12	And Moses spoke before Yehovah, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not listened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
Exodus 6:13	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 6:27	These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are this Moses and Aaron.
Exodus 6:28	And it happened on the day when Yehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
Exodus 6:29	that Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, I am Yehovah: speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you.
Exodus 6:30	And Moses said before Yehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?
Exodus 7:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
Exodus 7:2	You shall speak all that I command you; and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 7:3	And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:4	But Pharaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Exodus 7:5	And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, when I stretch out my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Exodus 7:6	And Moses and Aaron did so; as Yehovah commanded them, so did they.
Exodus 7:7	And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Exodus 7:8	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Exodus 7:9	When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, Show a wonder for yourselves; then you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.
Exodus 7:10	And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as Yehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exodus 7:11	Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers: and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exodus 7:12	For every man cast down his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
Exodus 7:13	And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Yehovah had spoken.
Exodus 7:14	And Yehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, he refuses to let the people go.
Exodus 7:15	Go to Pharaoh in the morning; look, he is going out to the water; and you shall stand by the river’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.
Exodus 7:16	And you shall say to him, Yehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, until now you have not listened.
Exodus 7:17	Thus says Yehovah, In this you shall know that I am Yehovah: behold, I will strike with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Exodus 7:18	And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river.
Exodus 7:19	And Yehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.
Exodus 7:20	And Moses and Aaron did so, as Yehovah commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and struck the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Exodus 7:21	And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 7:22	And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Yehovah had spoken.
Exodus 7:23	And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, nor did he take even this to heart.
Exodus 7:24	And all the Egyptians dug around the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Exodus 7:25	And seven days were fulfilled, after Yehovah had struck the river.
Exodus 8:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says Yehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 8:2	And if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will strike all your borders with frogs:
Exodus 8:3	and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and upon your bed, and into the house of your servants, and upon your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs:
Exodus 8:4	and the frogs shall come up both upon you, and upon your people, and upon all your servants.
Exodus 8:5	And Yehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand with your rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:6	And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:7	And the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:8	Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat Yehovah, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to Yehovah.
Exodus 8:9	And Moses said to Pharaoh, Have this glory over me: for what time shall I entreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs may be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only?
Exodus 8:10	And he said, For tomorrow. And he said, Let it be according to your word; that you may know that there is none like Yehovah our God.
Exodus 8:11	And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; they shall remain in the river only.
Exodus 8:12	And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried to Yehovah concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh.
Exodus 8:13	And Yehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.
Exodus 8:14	And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank.
Exodus 8:15	But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as Yehovah had spoken.
Exodus 8:16	And Yehovah said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:17	And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:18	And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Exodus 8:19	Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Yehovah had spoken.
Exodus 8:20	And Yehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he is coming out to the water; and say to him, Thus says Yehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 8:21	Otherwise, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they are.
Exodus 8:22	And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; so that you may know that I am Yehovah in the midst of the earth.
Exodus 8:23	And I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow this sign shall be.
Exodus 8:24	And Yehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.
Exodus 8:25	And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Exodus 8:26	And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Yehovah our God: look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Exodus 8:27	We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yehovah our God, as he shall command us.
Exodus 8:28	And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to Yehovah your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away: entreat for me.
Exodus 8:29	And Moses said, Behold, I am going out from you, and I will entreat Yehovah that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow: only let Pharaoh not deal deceitfully any more by not letting the people go to sacrifice to Yehovah.
Exodus 8:30	And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Yehovah.
Exodus 8:31	And Yehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; not one remained.
Exodus 8:32	And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:1	Then Yehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says Yehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 9:2	For if you refuse to let them go, and still hold them,
Exodus 9:3	behold, the hand of Yehovah is upon your cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks: there shall be a very grievous plague.
Exodus 9:4	And Yehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.
Exodus 9:5	And Yehovah appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow Yehovah shall do this thing in the land.
Exodus 9:6	And Yehovah did that thing on the next day; and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel not one died.
Exodus 9:7	And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go.
Exodus 9:8	And Yehovah said to Moses and to Aaron, Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Exodus 9:9	And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking out with sores upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:10	And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking out with sores upon man and upon beast.
Exodus 9:11	And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Exodus 9:12	And Yehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as Yehovah had spoken to Moses.
Exodus 9:13	And Yehovah said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says Yehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 9:14	For I will this time send all my plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants, and upon your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Exodus 9:15	For by now I would have put out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth:
Exodus 9:16	but indeed for this reason I have made you stand, to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Exodus 9:17	Do you still exalt yourself against my people, that you will not let them go?
Exodus 9:18	Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
Exodus 9:19	Now therefore send, bring in quickly your cattle and all that you have in the field; for every man and beast that is found in the field, and is not brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Exodus 9:20	He who feared the word of Yehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Exodus 9:21	and he who did not regard the word of Yehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Exodus 9:22	And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:23	And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven: and Yehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down to the earth; and Yehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:24	So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exodus 9:25	And the hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Exodus 9:26	Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Exodus 9:27	And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: Yehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Exodus 9:28	Entreat Yehovah; for there has been enough of these mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.
Exodus 9:29	And Moses said to him, As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Yehovah; the thunders shall cease, nor shall there be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is Yehovah’s.
Exodus 9:30	But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear Yehovah God.
Exodus 9:31	And the flax and the barley were struck: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
Exodus 9:32	But the wheat and the spelt were not struck: for they were not grown up.
Exodus 9:33	And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Exodus 9:34	And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exodus 9:35	And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, as Yehovah had spoken by Moses.
Exodus 10:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,
Exodus 10:2	and that you may tell in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yehovah.
Exodus 10:3	And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says Yehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus 10:4	Otherwise, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your border:
Exodus 10:5	and they shall cover the face of the earth, so that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field:
Exodus 10:6	and your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth to this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.
Exodus 10:7	And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Yehovah their God: do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?
Exodus 10:8	And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve Yehovah your God; but who are those who shall go?
Exodus 10:9	And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yehovah.
Exodus 10:10	And he said to them, So may Yehovah be with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: beware; for evil is before you.
Exodus 10:11	Not so: go now, you who are men, and serve Yehovah; for that is what you desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Exodus 10:12	And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.
Exodus 10:13	And Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Exodus 10:14	And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, nor after them shall there be such.
Exodus 10:15	For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained no green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 10:16	Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Yehovah your God, and against you.
Exodus 10:17	Now therefore please forgive my sin only this once, and entreat Yehovah your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Exodus 10:18	And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Yehovah.
Exodus 10:19	And Yehovah turned an exceedingly strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; not one locust remained in all the border of Egypt.
Exodus 10:20	But Yehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.
Exodus 10:21	And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
Exodus 10:22	And Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;
Exodus 10:23	they did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:24	And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go, serve Yehovah; only let your flocks and your herds stay behind: let your little ones also go with you.
Exodus 10:25	And Moses said, You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yehovah our God.
Exodus 10:26	Our cattle also shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind: for we must take of them to serve Yehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Yehovah, until we come there.
Exodus 10:27	But Yehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
Exodus 10:28	And Pharaoh said to him, Get away from me, take heed to yourself, see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die.
Exodus 10:29	And Moses said, You have spoken well; I will see your face again no more.
Exodus 11:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, Yet one more plague I will bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterward he will let you go from here: when he lets you go, he shall surely thrust you out from here altogether.
Exodus 11:2	Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
Exodus 11:3	And Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.
Exodus 11:4	And Moses said, Thus says Yehovah, About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt:
Exodus 11:5	and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits upon his throne, even to the first-born of the maid-servant who is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.
Exodus 11:6	And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been, nor shall be any more.
Exodus 11:7	But against any of the children of Israel not a dog shall move his tongue, against man or beast: that you may know that Yehovah makes a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel.
Exodus 11:8	And all these your servants shall come down to me, and bow themselves down to me, saying, Get out, you and all the people who follow you: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.
Exodus 11:9	And Yehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh will not listen to you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 11:10	And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Yehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus 12:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exodus 12:2	This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
Exodus 12:3	Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take for themselves every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household:
Exodus 12:4	and if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating you shall make your count for the lamb.
Exodus 12:5	Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: you shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Exodus 12:6	and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
Exodus 12:7	And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses in which they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:8	And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:9	Do not eat any of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; its head with its legs and with its inner parts.
Exodus 12:10	And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but what remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
Exodus 12:11	And thus you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yehovah’s passover.
Exodus 12:12	For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yehovah.
Exodus 12:13	And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall be upon you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:14	And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yehovah: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Exodus 12:15	Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus 12:16	And on the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and on the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except what every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
Exodus 12:17	And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
Exodus 12:18	In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
Exodus 12:19	Seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses: for whoever eats what is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner, or one who is born in the land.
Exodus 12:20	You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.
Exodus 12:21	Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out, and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the passover.
Exodus 12:22	And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.
Exodus 12:23	For Yehovah will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Yehovah will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
Exodus 12:24	And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
Exodus 12:25	And it shall happen, when you have come to the land which Yehovah will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
Exodus 12:26	And it shall happen, when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service?
Exodus 12:27	that you shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yehovah’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
Exodus 12:28	And the children of Israel went and did so; as Yehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exodus 12:29	And it happened at midnight, that Yehovah struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle.
Exodus 12:30	And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
Exodus 12:31	And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yehovah, as you have said.
Exodus 12:32	Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
Exodus 12:33	And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men.
Exodus 12:34	And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Exodus 12:35	And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing:
Exodus 12:36	and Yehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.
Exodus 12:37	And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.
Exodus 12:38	And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
Exodus 12:39	And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not delay, nor had they prepared for themselves any provisions.
Exodus 12:40	Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Exodus 12:41	And it happened at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even on that very day it happened, that all the hosts of Yehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:42	It is a night to be much observed to Yehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Yehovah, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
Exodus 12:43	And Yehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: no foreigner shall eat of it;
Exodus 12:44	but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he shall eat of it.
Exodus 12:45	A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
Exodus 12:46	In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house; nor shall you break a bone of it.
Exodus 12:47	All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exodus 12:48	And when a stranger sojourns with you, and would keep the passover to Yehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
Exodus 12:49	One law shall be to him who is home-born, and to the stranger who sojourns among you.
Exodus 12:50	Thus did all the children of Israel; as Yehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exodus 12:51	And it happened on that very day, that Yehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
Exodus 13:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 13:2	Sanctify to me all the first-born, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
Exodus 13:3	And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yehovah brought you out from this place: no leavened bread shall be eaten.
Exodus 13:4	This day you are going out in the month Abib.
Exodus 13:5	And it shall be, when Yehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Exodus 13:6	Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yehovah.
Exodus 13:7	Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you, nor shall leaven be seen with you, in all your borders.
Exodus 13:8	And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, It is because of what Yehovah did for me when I came out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:9	And it shall be for a sign to you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yehovah may be in your mouth: for with a strong hand has Yehovah brought you out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:10	You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
Exodus 13:11	And it shall be, when Yehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,
Exodus 13:12	that you shall set apart to Yehovah all that opens the womb, and every firstling which you have that comes of a beast; the males shall be Yehovah’s.
Exodus 13:13	And every firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck: and all the first-born of man among your sons you shall redeem.
Exodus 13:14	And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand Yehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
Exodus 13:15	and it happened, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Yehovah slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast: therefore I sacrifice to Yehovah all that opens the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem.
Exodus 13:16	And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes: for by strength of hand Yehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:17	And it happened, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest perhaps the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
Exodus 13:18	but God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 13:19	And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had solemnly made the children of Israel swear, saying, God will surely visit you; and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.
Exodus 13:20	And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Exodus 13:21	And Yehovah went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; that they might go by day and by night:
Exodus 13:22	the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, did not depart from before the people.
Exodus 14:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 14:2	Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon: opposite it you shall encamp by the sea.
Exodus 14:3	And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut them in.
Exodus 14:4	And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get myself honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host: and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah. And they did so.
Exodus 14:5	And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Exodus 14:6	And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Exodus 14:7	and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
Exodus 14:8	And Yehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
Exodus 14:9	And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Exodus 14:10	And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were greatly afraid: and the children of Israel cried out to Yehovah.
Exodus 14:11	And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt this way with us, to bring us out of Egypt?
Exodus 14:12	Is not this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Exodus 14:13	And Moses said to the people, Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of Yehovah, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them again no more forever.
Exodus 14:14	Yehovah will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
Exodus 14:15	And Yehovah said to Moses, Why do you cry to me? speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
Exodus 14:16	And lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Exodus 14:17	And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exodus 14:18	And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have gotten myself honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exodus 14:19	And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:
Exodus 14:20	and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night: and the one did not come near the other all the night.
Exodus 14:21	And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Yehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exodus 14:22	And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus 14:23	And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exodus 14:24	And it happened in the morning watch, that Yehovah looked down upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and threw the host of the Egyptians into confusion.
Exodus 14:25	And he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Yehovah fights for them against the Egyptians.
Exodus 14:26	And Yehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Exodus 14:27	And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Yehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:28	And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; not so much as one of them remained.
Exodus 14:29	But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus 14:30	Thus Yehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore.
Exodus 14:31	And Israel saw the great work which Yehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Yehovah: and they believed in Yehovah, and in his servant Moses.
Exodus 15:1	Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to Yehovah, and spoke, saying, I will sing to Yehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously: The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:2	Yehovah is my strength and song, And he has become my salvation: This is my God, and I will praise him; My father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:3	Yehovah is a man of war: Yehovah is his name.
Exodus 15:4	Pharaoh’s chariots and his host he has cast into the sea; And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Exodus 15:5	The deeps cover them: They went down into the depths like a stone.
Exodus 15:6	Your right hand, O Yehovah, is glorious in power, Your right hand, O Yehovah, dashes in pieces the enemy.
Exodus 15:7	And in the greatness of your excellency you overthrow those who rise up against you: You send forth your wrath, it consumes them as stubble.
Exodus 15:8	And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were piled up, The floods stood upright as a heap; The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Exodus 15:9	The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Exodus 15:10	You blew with your wind, the sea covered them: They sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Exodus 15:11	Who is like you, O Yehovah, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exodus 15:12	You stretched out your right hand, The earth swallowed them.
Exodus 15:13	You in your lovingkindness have led the people whom you have redeemed: You have guided them in your strength to your holy habitation.
Exodus 15:14	The peoples have heard, they tremble: Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.
Exodus 15:15	Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed; The mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold upon them: All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.
Exodus 15:16	Terror and dread fall upon them; By the greatness of your arm they are as still as a stone; Till your people pass over, O Yehovah, Till the people pass over whom you have purchased.
Exodus 15:17	You will bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, The place, O Yehovah, which you have made for yourself to dwell in, The sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
Exodus 15:18	Yehovah shall reign forever and ever.
Exodus 15:19	For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Yehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 15:20	And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Exodus 15:21	And Miriam answered them, Sing to Yehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously; The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:22	And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Exodus 15:23	And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Exodus 15:24	And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Exodus 15:25	And he cried to Yehovah; and Yehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he tested them;
Exodus 15:26	and he said, If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yehovah your God, and will do what is right in his eyes, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon you, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Yehovah who heals you.
Exodus 15:27	And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Exodus 16:1	And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 16:2	And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:
Exodus 16:3	and the children of Israel said to them, Would that we had died by the hand of Yehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Exodus 16:4	Then Yehovah said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in my law, or not.
Exodus 16:5	And it shall happen on the sixth day, that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
Exodus 16:6	And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, At evening, then you shall know that Yehovah has brought you out from the land of Egypt;
Exodus 16:7	and in the morning, then you shall see the glory of Yehovah; because he hears your murmurings against Yehovah: and what are we, that you murmur against us?
Exodus 16:8	And Moses said, This shall be, when Yehovah gives you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; because Yehovah hears your murmurings which you murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Yehovah.
Exodus 16:9	And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Yehovah; for he has heard your murmurings.
Exodus 16:10	And it happened, as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Yehovah appeared in the cloud.
Exodus 16:11	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 16:12	I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak to them, saying, At evening you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread: and you shall know that I am Yehovah your God.
Exodus 16:13	And it happened at evening, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay around the camp.
Exodus 16:14	And when the dew that lay had gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground.
Exodus 16:15	And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, It is the bread which Yehovah has given you to eat.
Exodus 16:16	This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, you shall take it, every man for those who are in his tent.
Exodus 16:17	And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
Exodus 16:18	And when they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Exodus 16:19	And Moses said to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Exodus 16:20	Nevertheless they did not listen to Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was angry with them.
Exodus 16:21	And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun grew hot, it melted.
Exodus 16:22	And it happened, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Exodus 16:23	And he said to them, This is what Yehovah has spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath to Yehovah: bake what you will bake, and boil what you will boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.
Exodus 16:24	And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses commanded: and it did not become foul, nor was there any worm in it.
Exodus 16:25	And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a sabbath to Yehovah: today you shall not find it in the field.
Exodus 16:26	Six days you shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exodus 16:27	And it happened on the seventh day, that some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Exodus 16:28	And Yehovah said to Moses, How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exodus 16:29	See, because Yehovah has given you the sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Exodus 16:30	So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exodus 16:31	And the house of Israel called the name of it Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Exodus 16:32	And Moses said, This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 16:33	And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna in it, and lay it up before Yehovah, to be kept throughout your generations.
Exodus 16:34	As Yehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Exodus 16:35	And the children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the manna, until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.
Exodus 16:36	Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Exodus 17:1	And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Yehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Exodus 17:2	Therefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said to them, Why do you strive with me? why do you tempt Yehovah?
Exodus 17:3	And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Exodus 17:4	And Moses cried to Yehovah, saying, What shall I do to this people? they are almost ready to stone me.
Exodus 17:5	And Yehovah said to Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and your rod, with which you struck the river, take in your hand, and go.
Exodus 17:6	Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Exodus 17:7	And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Yehovah, saying, Is Yehovah among us, or not?
Exodus 17:8	Then Amalek came, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Exodus 17:9	And Moses said to Joshua, Choose men for us, and go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.
Exodus 17:10	So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Exodus 17:11	And it happened, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exodus 17:12	But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Exodus 17:13	And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Exodus 17:14	and Yehovah said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and recite it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exodus 17:15	And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Yehovah-nissi;
Exodus 17:16	and he said, Yehovah has sworn: Yehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Exodus 18:1	Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how Yehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt.
Exodus 18:2	And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,
Exodus 18:3	and her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land:
Exodus 18:4	and the name of the other was Eliezer; for he said, The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.
Exodus 18:5	And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God:
Exodus 18:6	and he said to Moses, I, your father-in-law Jethro, have come to you, and your wife, and her two sons with her.
Exodus 18:7	And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him: and they asked each other about their welfare; and they came into the tent.
Exodus 18:8	And Moses told his father-in-law all that Yehovah had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how Yehovah delivered them.
Exodus 18:9	And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Yehovah had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus 18:10	And Jethro said, Blessed be Yehovah, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus 18:11	Now I know that Yehovah is greater than all gods; indeed, in the thing in which they dealt proudly against them.
Exodus 18:12	And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God.
Exodus 18:13	And it happened on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning to the evening.
Exodus 18:14	And when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that you do to the people? why do you sit by yourself alone, and all the people stand about you from morning to evening?
Exodus 18:15	And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to inquire of God:
Exodus 18:16	when they have a matter, they come to me; and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
Exodus 18:17	And Moses’ father-in-law said to him, The thing that you do is not good.
Exodus 18:18	You will surely wear yourself out, both you, and this people who are with you: for the thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself alone.
Exodus 18:19	Listen now to my voice, I will give you counsel, and God be with you: be for the people toward God, and bring the causes to God:
Exodus 18:20	and you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Exodus 18:21	Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Exodus 18:22	and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so it shall be easier for you, and they shall bear the burden with you.
Exodus 18:23	If you do this thing, and God commands you so, then you shall be able to endure, and all this people also shall go to their place in peace.
Exodus 18:24	So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.
Exodus 18:25	And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Exodus 18:26	And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought to Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
Exodus 18:27	And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
Exodus 19:1	In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
Exodus 19:2	And when they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.
Exodus 19:3	And Moses went up to God, and Yehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Exodus 19:4	You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
Exodus 19:5	Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine:
Exodus 19:6	and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.
Exodus 19:7	And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yehovah commanded him.
Exodus 19:8	And all the people answered together, and said, All that Yehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to Yehovah.
Exodus 19:9	And Yehovah said to Moses, Look, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever. And Moses told the words of the people to Yehovah.
Exodus 19:10	And Yehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
Exodus 19:11	and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
Exodus 19:12	And you shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that you do not go up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever touches the mount shall surely be put to death:
Exodus 19:13	no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it is beast or man, he shall not live: when the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.
Exodus 19:14	And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.
Exodus 19:15	And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day: do not come near a woman.
Exodus 19:16	And it happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceedingly loud; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
Exodus 19:17	And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
Exodus 19:18	And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Yehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
Exodus 19:19	And when the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Exodus 19:20	And Yehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount: and Yehovah called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
Exodus 19:21	And Yehovah said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to Yehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.
Exodus 19:22	And let the priests also, who come near to Yehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Yehovah break out upon them.
Exodus 19:23	And Moses said to Yehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for you charged us, saying, Set bounds around the mount, and sanctify it.
Exodus 19:24	And Yehovah said to him, Go down; and you shall come up, you, and Aaron with you: but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yehovah, lest he break out upon them.
Exodus 19:25	So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
Exodus 20:1	And God spoke all these words, saying,
Exodus 20:2	I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exodus 20:3	You shall have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:4	You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus 20:5	you shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I Yehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 20:6	and showing lovingkindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20:7	You shall not take the name of Yehovah your God in vain; for Yehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exodus 20:8	Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exodus 20:9	Six days you shall labor, and do all your work;
Exodus 20:10	but the seventh day is a sabbath to Yehovah your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates:
Exodus 20:11	for in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day: therefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:12	Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yehovah your God gives you.
Exodus 20:13	You shall not kill.
Exodus 20:14	You shall not commit adultery.
Exodus 20:15	You shall not steal.
Exodus 20:16	You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Exodus 20:17	You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
Exodus 20:18	And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood far off.
Exodus 20:19	And they said to Moses, You speak with us, and we will hear; but do not let God speak with us, lest we die.
Exodus 20:20	And Moses said to the people, Do not fear: for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you may not sin.
Exodus 20:21	And the people stood far off, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:22	And Yehovah said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Exodus 20:23	You shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves.
Exodus 20:24	An altar of earth you shall make to me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt-offerings, and your peace-offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and I will bless you.
Exodus 20:25	And if you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones; for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it.
Exodus 20:26	Nor shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.
Exodus 21:1	Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.
Exodus 21:2	If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Exodus 21:3	If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exodus 21:4	If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
Exodus 21:5	But if the servant plainly says, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
Exodus 21:6	then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door, or to the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.
Exodus 21:7	And if a man sells his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do.
Exodus 21:8	If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed: to sell her to a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.
Exodus 21:9	And if he betroths her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the manner of daughters.
Exodus 21:10	If he takes another wife for himself; her food, her clothing, and her duty of marriage, he shall not diminish.
Exodus 21:11	And if he does not do these three things for her, then she shall go out for nothing, without money.
Exodus 21:12	He who strikes a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:13	And if a man does not lie in wait, but God delivers him into his hand; then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.
Exodus 21:14	And if a man comes presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.
Exodus 21:15	And he who strikes his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:16	And he who steals a man, and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:17	And he who curses his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:18	And if men contend, and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he does not die, but keeps his bed;
Exodus 21:19	if he rises again, and walks around on his staff, then he who struck him shall be clear: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
Exodus 21:20	And if a man strikes his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he dies under his hand; he shall surely be punished.
Exodus 21:21	Nevertheless, if he survives a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
Exodus 21:22	And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit departs, and yet no harm follows; he shall surely be fined, as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Exodus 21:23	But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
Exodus 21:24	eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exodus 21:25	burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Exodus 21:26	And if a man strikes the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroys it; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
Exodus 21:27	And if he strikes out his man-servant’s tooth, or his maid-servant’s tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
Exodus 21:28	And if an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear.
Exodus 21:29	But if the ox was accustomed to gore in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.
Exodus 21:30	If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid upon him.
Exodus 21:31	Whether it has gored a son, or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Exodus 21:32	If the ox gores a man-servant or a maid-servant, there shall be given to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Exodus 21:33	And if a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls into it,
Exodus 21:34	the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money to the owner of it, and the dead beast shall be his.
Exodus 21:35	And if one man’s ox hurts another’s, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it; and the dead also they shall divide.
Exodus 21:36	Or if it is known that the ox was accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has not kept it in; he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own.
Exodus 22:1	If a man steals an ox, or a sheep, and kills it, or sells it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Exodus 22:2	If the thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him.
Exodus 22:3	If the sun has risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him; he shall make restitution: if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Exodus 22:4	If the theft is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, or donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.
Exodus 22:5	If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten, and lets his beast loose, and it feeds in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, he shall make restitution.
Exodus 22:6	If fire breaks out, and catches in thorns, so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he who kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Exodus 22:7	If a man delivers to his neighbor money or goods to keep, and it is stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief is found, he shall pay double.
Exodus 22:8	If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall come near to God, to see whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor’s goods.
Exodus 22:9	For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, of which one says, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.
Exodus 22:10	If a man delivers to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it dies, or is hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Exodus 22:11	the oath of Yehovah shall be between them both, whether he has not put his hand to his neighbor’s goods; and the owner of it shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution.
Exodus 22:12	But if it is stolen from him, he shall make restitution to the owner of it.
Exodus 22:13	If it is torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness: he shall not make good what was torn.
Exodus 22:14	And if a man borrows anything of his neighbor, and it is hurt, or dies, the owner of it not being with it, he shall surely make restitution.
Exodus 22:15	If the owner of it is with it, he shall not make it good: if it is a hired thing, it came for its hire.
Exodus 22:16	And if a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and lies with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife.
Exodus 22:17	If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Exodus 22:18	You shall not allow a sorceress to live.
Exodus 22:19	Whoever lies with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 22:20	He who sacrifices to any god, except to Yehovah only, shall be utterly destroyed.
Exodus 22:21	And a sojourner you shall not wrong, nor shall you oppress him: for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 22:22	You shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Exodus 22:23	If you afflict them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;
Exodus 22:24	and my wrath shall grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Exodus 22:25	If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor; nor shall you lay interest upon him.
Exodus 22:26	If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down:
Exodus 22:27	for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: in what shall he sleep? and it shall happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Exodus 22:28	You shall not revile God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
Exodus 22:29	You shall not delay to offer of your harvest, and of the outflow of your presses. The first-born of your sons you shall give to me.
Exodus 22:30	Likewise you shall do with your oxen, and with your sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.
Exodus 22:31	And you shall be holy men to me: therefore you shall not eat any flesh that is torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.
Exodus 23:1	You shall not take up a false report: do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Exodus 23:2	You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; nor shall you speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert justice:
Exodus 23:3	nor shall you favor a poor man in his cause.
Exodus 23:4	If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Exodus 23:5	If you see the donkey of him who hates you lying under his burden, you shall refrain from leaving him, you shall surely release it with him.
Exodus 23:6	You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his cause.
Exodus 23:7	Keep far from a false matter; and do not slay the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.
Exodus 23:8	And you shall take no bribe: for a bribe blinds those who have sight, and perverts the words of the righteous.
Exodus 23:9	And a sojourner you shall not oppress: for you know the heart of a sojourner, seeing you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:10	And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the increase of it:
Exodus 23:11	but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.
Exodus 23:12	Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.
Exodus 23:13	And in all things that I have said to you take heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard out of your mouth.
Exodus 23:14	Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
Exodus 23:15	The feast of unleavened bread you shall keep: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me empty:
Exodus 23:16	and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.
Exodus 23:17	Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah.
Exodus 23:18	You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; nor shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
Exodus 23:19	The first of the first-fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
Exodus 23:20	Behold, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Exodus 23:21	Take heed before him, and listen to his voice; do not provoke him; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him.
Exodus 23:22	But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Exodus 23:23	For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off.
Exodus 23:24	You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.
Exodus 23:25	And you shall serve Yehovah your God, and he will bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
Exodus 23:26	None shall cast her young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
Exodus 23:27	I will send my terror before you, and will throw into confusion all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
Exodus 23:28	And I will send the hornet before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
Exodus 23:29	I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against you.

Exodus 29:34	And if anything of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Exodus 29:35	And thus you shall do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded you: seven days you shall consecrate them.
Exodus 29:36	And every day you shall offer the bullock of sin-offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exodus 29:37	Seven days you shall make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.
Exodus 29:38	Now this is what you shall offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
Exodus 29:39	The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:
Exodus 29:40	and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering.
Exodus 29:41	And the other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do to it according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering of it, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Exodus 29:42	It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Yehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.
Exodus 29:43	And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and the Tent shall be sanctified by my glory.
Exodus 29:44	And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the priest’s office.
Exodus 29:45	And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Exodus 29:46	And they shall know that I am Yehovah their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Yehovah their God.
Exodus 30:1	And you shall make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood you shall make it.
Exodus 30:2	A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it; square shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height of it: the horns of it shall be of one piece with it.
Exodus 30:3	And you shall overlay it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it around, and the horns of it; and you shall make for it a crown of gold around.
Exodus 30:4	And two golden rings you shall make for it under the crown of it; upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it you shall make them; and they shall be as places for poles with which to bear it.
Exodus 30:5	And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exodus 30:6	And you shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Exodus 30:7	And Aaron shall burn on it incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.
Exodus 30:8	And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yehovah throughout your generations.
Exodus 30:9	You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and you shall pour no drink-offering on it.
Exodus 30:10	And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy to Yehovah.
Exodus 30:11	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 30:12	When you take the sum of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to Yehovah, when you number them; that there may be no plague among them, when you number them.
Exodus 30:13	This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel for an offering to Yehovah.
Exodus 30:14	Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Yehovah.
Exodus 30:15	The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
Exodus 30:16	And you shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
Exodus 30:17	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 30:18	You shall also make a laver of brass, and the base of it of brass, at which to wash. And you shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
Exodus 30:19	And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet at it:
Exodus 30:20	when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Exodus 30:21	So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
Exodus 30:22	Moreover Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 30:23	Take also for yourself the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
Exodus 30:24	and of cassia five hundred, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin;
Exodus 30:25	and you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded according to the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
Exodus 30:26	And you shall anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
Exodus 30:27	and the table and all the vessels of it, and the candlestick and the vessels of it, and the altar of incense,
Exodus 30:28	and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels of it, and the laver and the base of it.
Exodus 30:29	And you shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever touches them shall be holy.
Exodus 30:30	And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Exodus 30:31	And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
Exodus 30:32	Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, nor shall you make any like it, according to the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
Exodus 30:33	Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
Exodus 30:34	And Yehovah said to Moses, Take for yourself sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each there shall be a like weight;
Exodus 30:35	and you shall make of it incense, a perfume according to the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:
Exodus 30:36	and you shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you: it shall be to you most holy.
Exodus 30:37	And the incense which you shall make, according to the composition of it you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yehovah.
Exodus 30:38	Whoever makes any like it, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.
Exodus 31:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 31:2	See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
Exodus 31:3	and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exodus 31:4	to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exodus 31:5	and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exodus 31:6	And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
Exodus 31:7	the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is upon it, and all the furniture of the Tent,
Exodus 31:8	and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense,
Exodus 31:9	and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base,
Exodus 31:10	and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
Exodus 31:11	and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.
Exodus 31:12	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 31:13	Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, Truly you shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yehovah who sanctifies you.
Exodus 31:14	You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you: everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work in it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus 31:15	Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yehovah: whoever does any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:16	Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Exodus 31:17	It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:18	And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 32:1	And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
Exodus 32:2	And Aaron said to them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.
Exodus 32:3	And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Exodus 32:4	And he received it from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 32:5	And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yehovah.
Exodus 32:6	And they rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Exodus 32:7	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, Go down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exodus 32:8	they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten calf, and have bowed down to it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, These are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus 32:9	And Yehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exodus 32:10	now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may grow hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of you a great nation.
Exodus 32:11	And Moses implored Yehovah his God, and said, Yehovah, why does your wrath grow hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Exodus 32:12	Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil he brought them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.
Exodus 32:13	Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.
Exodus 32:14	And Yehovah repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
Exodus 32:15	And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
Exodus 32:16	And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Exodus 32:17	And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
Exodus 32:18	And he said, It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery, nor is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing I hear.
Exodus 32:19	And it happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger grew hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Exodus 32:20	And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Exodus 32:21	And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you, that you have brought a great sin upon them?
Exodus 32:22	And Aaron said, Do not let the anger of my lord grow hot: you know the people, that they are set on evil.
Exodus 32:23	For they said to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
Exodus 32:24	And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off: so they gave it to me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Exodus 32:25	And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)
Exodus 32:26	then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on Yehovah’s side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Exodus 32:27	And he said to them, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Put every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
Exodus 32:28	And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Exodus 32:29	And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves today to Yehovah, indeed, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Exodus 32:30	And it happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, You have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up to Yehovah; perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.
Exodus 32:31	And Moses returned to Yehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves gods of gold.
Exodus 32:32	Yet now, if you will forgive their sin—; and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.
Exodus 32:33	And Yehovah said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, him I will blot out of my book.
Exodus 32:34	And now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you: behold, my angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.
Exodus 32:35	And Yehovah struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Exodus 33:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To your seed I will give it:
Exodus 33:2	and I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Exodus 33:3	to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiffnecked people, lest I consume you in the way.
Exodus 33:4	And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man put on his ornaments.
Exodus 33:5	And Yehovah said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of you for one moment, I shall consume you: therefore now put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what to do to you.
Exodus 33:6	And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.
Exodus 33:7	Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it happened, that everyone who sought Yehovah went out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.
Exodus 33:8	And it happened, when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
Exodus 33:9	And it happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and Yehovah spoke with Moses.
Exodus 33:10	And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.
Exodus 33:11	And Yehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart out of the Tent.
Exodus 33:12	And Moses said to Yehovah, See, you say to me, Bring up this people: and you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.
Exodus 33:13	Now therefore, please, if I have found favor in your sight, show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.
Exodus 33:14	And he said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
Exodus 33:15	And he said to him, If your presence does not go with me, do not carry us up from here.
Exodus 33:16	For how now shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? is it not in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?
Exodus 33:17	And Yehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.
Exodus 33:18	And he said, Please show me your glory.
Exodus 33:19	And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of Yehovah before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Exodus 33:20	And he said, You cannot see my face; for man shall not see me and live.
Exodus 33:21	And Yehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand upon the rock:
Exodus 33:22	and it shall happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by:
Exodus 33:23	and I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.
Exodus 34:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, Hew two tables of stone like the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which you broke.
Exodus 34:2	And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mount.
Exodus 34:3	And no man shall come up with you; nor let any man be seen throughout all the mount; nor let the flocks or herds feed before that mount.
Exodus 34:4	And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as Yehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.
Exodus 34:5	And Yehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Yehovah.
Exodus 34:6	And Yehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Yehovah, Yehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth;
Exodus 34:7	keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
Exodus 34:8	And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
Exodus 34:9	And he said, If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
Exodus 34:10	And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yehovah; for it is a terrible thing that I do with you.
Exodus 34:11	Observe what I command you this day: behold, I am driving out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 34:12	Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it become a snare in the midst of you:
Exodus 34:13	but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;
Exodus 34:14	(for you shall bow down to no other god: for Yehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God);
Exodus 34:15	lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one invites you and you eat of his sacrifice;
Exodus 34:16	and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
Exodus 34:17	You shall make for yourself no molten gods.
Exodus 34:18	The feast of unleavened bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
Exodus 34:19	All that opens the womb is mine; and all your cattle that are male, the firstlings of cow and sheep.
Exodus 34:20	And the firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the first-born of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
Exodus 34:21	Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
Exodus 34:22	And you shall observe the feast of weeks, even of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
Exodus 34:23	Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah, the God of Israel.
Exodus 34:24	For I will cast out nations before you, and enlarge your borders: nor shall any man desire your land, when you go up to appear before Yehovah your God three times in the year.
Exodus 34:25	You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; nor shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left to the morning.
Exodus 34:26	The first of the first-fruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of Yehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
Exodus 34:27	And Yehovah said to Moses, Write these words: for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
Exodus 34:28	And he was there with Yehovah forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exodus 34:29	And it happened, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
Exodus 34:30	And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
Exodus 34:31	And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him: and Moses spoke to them.
Exodus 34:32	And afterward all the children of Israel came near: and he gave them in commandment all that Yehovah had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
Exodus 34:33	And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
Exodus 34:34	But when Moses went in before Yehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he was commanded.
Exodus 34:35	And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
Exodus 35:1	And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, These are the words which Yehovah has commanded, that you should do them.
Exodus 35:2	Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Yehovah: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:3	You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
Exodus 35:4	And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Yehovah commanded, saying,
Exodus 35:5	Take from among you an offering to Yehovah; whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Yehovah’s offering: gold, and silver, and brass,
Exodus 35:6	and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
Exodus 35:7	and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,
Exodus 35:8	and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
Exodus 35:9	and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
Exodus 35:10	And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Yehovah has commanded:
Exodus 35:11	the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
Exodus 35:12	the ark, and the poles of it, the mercy-seat, and the veil of the screen;
Exodus 35:13	the table, and its poles, and all its vessels, and the showbread;
Exodus 35:14	the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
Exodus 35:15	and the altar of incense, and its poles, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
Exodus 35:16	the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;
Exodus 35:17	the hangings of the court, the pillars of it, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
Exodus 35:18	the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;
Exodus 35:19	the finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.
Exodus 35:20	And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Exodus 35:21	And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought Yehovah’s offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service of it, and for the holy garments.
Exodus 35:22	And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to Yehovah.
Exodus 35:23	And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them.
Exodus 35:24	Everyone who offered an offering of silver and brass brought Yehovah’s offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Exodus 35:25	And all the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
Exodus 35:26	And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
Exodus 35:27	And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
Exodus 35:28	and the spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Exodus 35:29	The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering to Yehovah; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Yehovah had commanded to be made by Moses.
Exodus 35:30	And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, Yehovah has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
Exodus 35:31	and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
Exodus 35:32	and to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exodus 35:33	and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skillful workmanship.
Exodus 35:34	And he has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Exodus 35:35	Them he has filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who devise skillful works.
Exodus 36:1	And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Yehovah has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yehovah has commanded.
Exodus 36:2	And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yehovah had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
Exodus 36:3	and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. And they still brought him freewill-offerings every morning.
Exodus 36:4	And all the wise men, who did all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they were doing;
Exodus 36:5	and they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yehovah commanded to make.
Exodus 36:6	And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
Exodus 36:7	For the material they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Exodus 36:8	And all the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, Bezalel made them.
Exodus 36:9	The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure.
Exodus 36:10	And he coupled five curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
Exodus 36:11	And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.

Exodus 36:21	Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

Exodus 39:9	It was square; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, being double.
Exodus 39:10	And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;
Exodus 39:11	and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Exodus 39:12	and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

Exodus 39:20	And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Exodus 39:21	And they bound the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:22	And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
Exodus 39:23	and the hole of the robe in the midst of it, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding around the hole of it, that it should not be torn.
Exodus 39:24	And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
Exodus 39:25	And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe around, between the pomegranates;
Exodus 39:26	a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe around, to minister in; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:27	And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
Exodus 39:28	and the mitre of fine linen, and the fine caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen,
Exodus 39:29	and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; as Yehovah commanded Moses.

Exodus 39:31	And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 39:32	Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that Yehovah commanded Moses; so did they.
Exodus 39:33	And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;
Exodus 39:34	and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the screen;
Exodus 39:35	the ark of the testimony, and the poles of it, and the mercy-seat;
Exodus 39:36	the table, all the vessels of it, and the showbread;
Exodus 39:37	the pure candlestick, the lamps of it, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels of it, and the oil for the light;
Exodus 39:38	and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent;
Exodus 39:39	the brass altar, and its grating of brass, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;

Exodus 39:41	the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.
Exodus 39:42	According to all that Yehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
Exodus 39:43	And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as Yehovah had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exodus 40:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 40:2	On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 40:3	And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
Exodus 40:4	And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps of it.
Exodus 40:5	And you shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:6	And you shall set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
Exodus 40:7	And you shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.
Exodus 40:8	And you shall set up the court around, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
Exodus 40:9	And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the furniture of it: and it shall be holy.
Exodus 40:10	And you shall anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy.
Exodus 40:11	And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.
Exodus 40:12	And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.
Exodus 40:13	And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
Exodus 40:14	And you shall bring his sons, and put coats upon them;
Exodus 40:15	and you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Exodus 40:16	Thus Moses did: according to all that Yehovah commanded him, so he did.
Exodus 40:17	And it happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
Exodus 40:18	And Moses set up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and set up its pillars.
Exodus 40:19	And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:20	And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark:
Exodus 40:21	and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:22	And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
Exodus 40:23	And he set the bread in order upon it before Yehovah; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:24	And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Exodus 40:25	And he lighted the lamps before Yehovah; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:26	And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:
Exodus 40:27	and he burned on it incense of sweet spices; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:28	And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:29	And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:30	And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash.
Exodus 40:31	And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet at it;
Exodus 40:32	when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Exodus 40:33	And he set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
Exodus 40:34	Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:35	And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Yehovah filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:36	And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:
Exodus 40:37	but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
Exodus 40:38	For the cloud of Yehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Leviticus 1:1	And Yehovah called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,
Leviticus 1:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man of you offers an oblation to Yehovah, you shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.
Leviticus 1:3	If his oblation is a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Yehovah.
Leviticus 1:4	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Leviticus 1:5	And he shall kill the bull before Yehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood all around on the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 1:6	And he shall skin the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.
Leviticus 1:7	And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire;
Leviticus 1:8	and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Leviticus 1:9	but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 1:10	And if his oblation is of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish.
Leviticus 1:11	And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 1:12	And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Leviticus 1:13	but the entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 1:14	And if his oblation to Yehovah is a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
Leviticus 1:15	And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
Leviticus 1:16	and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east side, in the place of the ashes:
Leviticus 1:17	and he shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 2:1	And when anyone offers an oblation of a meal-offering to Yehovah, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense on it:

Leviticus 4:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 4:2	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yehovah has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:
Leviticus 4:3	if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to Yehovah for a sin-offering.
Leviticus 4:4	And he shall bring the bull to the door of the tent of meeting before Yehovah; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yehovah.
Leviticus 4:5	And the anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the tent of meeting:
Leviticus 4:6	and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary.
Leviticus 4:7	And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yehovah, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bull he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 4:8	And all the fat of the bull of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is upon the entrails,
Leviticus 4:9	and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe of the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,
Leviticus 4:10	as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt-offering.
Leviticus 4:11	And the skin of the bull, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its entrails, and its dung,
Leviticus 4:12	even the whole bull he shall carry out outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
Leviticus 4:13	And if the whole congregation of Israel errs, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yehovah has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
Leviticus 4:14	when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 4:15	And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before Yehovah; and the bull shall be killed before Yehovah.

Leviticus 4:21	And he shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull: it is the sin-offering for the assembly.
Leviticus 4:22	When a ruler sins, and does unintentionally any one of all the things which Yehovah his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
Leviticus 4:23	if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish.
Leviticus 4:24	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Yehovah: it is a sin-offering.

Leviticus 5:1	And if anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 5:2	Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
Leviticus 5:3	Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is by which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
Leviticus 5:4	Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things.
Leviticus 5:5	And it shall be, when he is guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned:
Leviticus 5:6	and he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yehovah for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
Leviticus 5:7	And if his means do not suffice for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass-offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Yehovah; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.
Leviticus 5:8	And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer what is for the sin-offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it apart:
Leviticus 5:9	and he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin-offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin-offering.
Leviticus 5:10	And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 5:11	But if his means do not suffice for two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering: he shall put no oil upon it, nor shall he put any frankincense on it; for it is a sin-offering.
Leviticus 5:12	And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of Yehovah made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
Leviticus 5:13	And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven: and the remainder shall be the priest’s, as the meal-offering.
Leviticus 5:14	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 5:15	If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unintentionally, in the holy things of Yehovah; then he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering:
Leviticus 5:16	and he shall make restitution for what he has done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 5:17	And if anyone sins, and does any of the things which Yehovah has commanded not to be done; though he did not know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 5:18	And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he erred unintentionally and did not know it, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 5:19	It is a trespass-offering: he is certainly guilty before Yehovah.
Leviticus 6:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:2	If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against Yehovah, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor,
Leviticus 6:3	or has found what was lost, and deals falsely in it, and swears to a lie; in any of all these things that a man does, sinning in them;
Leviticus 6:4	then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore what he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,
Leviticus 6:5	or anything about which he has sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more to it: to him to whom it belongs he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty.
Leviticus 6:6	And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass-offering, to the priest:
Leviticus 6:7	and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yehovah; and he shall be forgiven concerning whatever he does so as to be guilty by it.
Leviticus 6:8	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:9	Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: the burnt-offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night to the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
Leviticus 6:10	And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put his linen undergarments upon his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
Leviticus 6:11	And he shall take off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.
Leviticus 6:12	And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning on it, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order upon it, and shall burn on it the fat of the peace-offerings.
Leviticus 6:13	Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out.
Leviticus 6:14	And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Yehovah, before the altar.
Leviticus 6:15	And he shall take up from it his handful, of the fine flour of the meal-offering, and of its oil, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal-offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet aroma, as its memorial, to Yehovah.
Leviticus 6:16	And what is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it.
Leviticus 6:17	It shall not be baked with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering.
Leviticus 6:18	Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as his portion forever throughout your generations, from the offerings of Yehovah made by fire: whoever touches them shall be holy.
Leviticus 6:19	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:20	This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer to Yehovah in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening.
Leviticus 6:21	On a baking pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, you shall bring it in: in baked pieces you shall offer the meal-offering for a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 6:22	And the anointed priest who shall be in his place from among his sons shall offer it: by a statute forever it shall be wholly burned to Yehovah.
Leviticus 6:23	And every meal-offering of the priest shall be wholly burned: it shall not be eaten.
Leviticus 6:24	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:25	Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killed the sin-offering shall be killed before Yehovah: it is most holy.
Leviticus 6:26	The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 6:27	Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy; and when any of its blood is sprinkled upon any garment, you shall wash that on which it was sprinkled in a holy place.
Leviticus 6:28	But the earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water.
Leviticus 6:29	Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it is most holy.
Leviticus 6:30	And no sin-offering, of which any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burned with fire.

Leviticus 7:2	In the place where they kill the burnt-offering they shall kill the trespass-offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle on the altar all around.
Leviticus 7:3	And he shall offer of it all its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the entrails,
Leviticus 7:4	and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the lobe of the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away;
Leviticus 7:5	and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire to Yehovah: it is a trespass-offering.
Leviticus 7:6	Every male among the priests shall eat of it: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is most holy.
Leviticus 7:7	As is the sin-offering, so is the trespass-offering; there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement with it, he shall have it.
Leviticus 7:8	And the priest who offers any man’s burnt-offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he has offered.
Leviticus 7:9	And every meal-offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is prepared in the frying pan, and on the baking pan, shall be the priest’s who offers it.
Leviticus 7:10	And every meal-offering, mixed with oil, or dry, all the sons of Aaron shall have, one as well as another.
Leviticus 7:11	And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which one shall offer to Yehovah.
Leviticus 7:12	If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil, of fine flour soaked.
Leviticus 7:13	With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving.
Leviticus 7:14	And of it he shall offer one out of each oblation for a heave-offering to Yehovah; it shall be the priest’s who sprinkles the blood of the peace-offerings.
Leviticus 7:15	And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
Leviticus 7:16	But if the sacrifice of his oblation is a vow, or a freewill-offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten:
Leviticus 7:17	but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
Leviticus 7:18	And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings is eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be credited to him who offers it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 7:19	And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. And as for the flesh, everyone who is clean shall eat of it:
Leviticus 7:20	but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, that pertain to Yehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:21	And when anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which pertain to Yehovah, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:22	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 7:23	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.
Leviticus 7:24	And the fat of what dies of itself, and the fat of what is torn by beasts, may be used for any other service; but you shall by no means eat of it.
Leviticus 7:25	For whoever eats the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah, even the soul that eats it shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:26	And you shall eat no kind of blood, whether of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Leviticus 7:27	Whoever eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:28	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 7:29	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He who offers the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Yehovah shall bring his oblation to Yehovah out of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings:
Leviticus 7:30	his own hands shall bring the offerings of Yehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Yehovah.
Leviticus 7:31	And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
Leviticus 7:32	And the right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave-offering out of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.
Leviticus 7:33	He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.
Leviticus 7:34	For the wave-breast and the heave-thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.
Leviticus 7:35	This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yehovah made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Yehovah in the priest’s office;
Leviticus 7:36	which Yehovah commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.
Leviticus 7:37	This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings;
Leviticus 7:38	which Yehovah commanded Moses on mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to Yehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus 8:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 8:2	Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;
Leviticus 8:3	and assemble all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 8:4	And Moses did as Yehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 8:5	And Moses said to the congregation, This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded to be done.
Leviticus 8:6	And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
Leviticus 8:7	And he put the coat on him, and tied the sash around him, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he tied around him the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it to him with it.
Leviticus 8:8	And he placed the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.
Leviticus 8:9	And he set the turban upon his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:10	And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.
Leviticus 8:11	And he sprinkled some of it upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them.
Leviticus 8:12	And he poured some of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
Leviticus 8:13	And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes around them, and bound caps on them; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:14	And he brought the bull of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bull of the sin-offering.
Leviticus 8:15	And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.
Leviticus 8:16	And he took all the fat that was upon the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it upon the altar.
Leviticus 8:17	But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:18	And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Leviticus 8:19	And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 8:20	And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
Leviticus 8:21	And he washed the entrails and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet aroma: it was an offering made by fire to Yehovah; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:22	And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Leviticus 8:23	And he slew it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot.
Leviticus 8:24	And he brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put some of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the big toe of their right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 8:25	And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh:
Leviticus 8:26	and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before Yehovah, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh:
Leviticus 8:27	and he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a wave-offering before Yehovah.
Leviticus 8:28	And Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecration for a sweet aroma: it was an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Leviticus 8:29	And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave-offering before Yehovah: it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:30	And Moses took some of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
Leviticus 8:31	And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
Leviticus 8:32	And what remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.
Leviticus 8:33	And you shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.
Leviticus 8:34	As has been done this day, so Yehovah has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.
Leviticus 8:35	And at the door of the tent of meeting you shall abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Yehovah, that you may not die: for so I am commanded.
Leviticus 8:36	And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yehovah commanded by Moses.
Leviticus 9:1	And it happened on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
Leviticus 9:2	and he said to Aaron, Take a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Yehovah.
Leviticus 9:3	And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, Take a male goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;
Leviticus 9:4	and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Yehovah; and a meal-offering mixed with oil: for today Yehovah appears to you.
Leviticus 9:5	And they brought what Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Yehovah.
Leviticus 9:6	And Moses said, This is the thing which Yehovah commanded that you should do: and the glory of Yehovah shall appear to you.
Leviticus 9:7	And Moses said to Aaron, Draw near to the altar, and offer your sin-offering, and your burnt-offering, and make atonement for yourself, and for the people; and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as Yehovah commanded.
Leviticus 9:8	So Aaron drew near to the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself.
Leviticus 9:9	And the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:
Leviticus 9:10	but the fat, and the kidneys, and the lobe from the liver of the sin-offering, he burned upon the altar; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 9:11	And the flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp.
Leviticus 9:12	And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.
Leviticus 9:13	And they delivered the burnt-offering to him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burned them upon the altar.
Leviticus 9:14	And he washed the entrails and the legs, and burned them upon the burnt-offering on the altar.
Leviticus 9:15	And he presented the people’s oblation, and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
Leviticus 9:16	And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance.
Leviticus 9:17	And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand from it, and burned it upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning.
Leviticus 9:18	He also slew the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, which he sprinkled on the altar all around,
Leviticus 9:19	and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and what covers the entrails, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver:
Leviticus 9:20	and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burned the fat upon the altar:
Leviticus 9:21	and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before Yehovah; as Moses commanded.
Leviticus 9:22	And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings.
Leviticus 9:23	And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Yehovah appeared to all the people.
Leviticus 9:24	And fire came forth from before Yehovah, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10:1	And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yehovah, which he had not commanded them.
Leviticus 10:2	And fire came forth from before Yehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Yehovah.
Leviticus 10:3	Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what Yehovah spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Leviticus 10:4	And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Leviticus 10:5	So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
Leviticus 10:6	And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Do not let the hair of your heads go loose, nor tear your clothes; that you may not die, and that he may not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yehovah has kindled.
Leviticus 10:7	And you shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
Leviticus 10:8	And Yehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 10:9	Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, that you may not die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations:
Leviticus 10:10	and that you may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;
Leviticus 10:11	and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yehovah has spoken to them by Moses.
Leviticus 10:12	And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, Take the meal-offering that remains of the offerings of Yehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;
Leviticus 10:13	and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of Yehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.
Leviticus 10:14	And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.
Leviticus 10:15	The heave-thigh and the wave-breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Yehovah: and it shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever; as Yehovah has commanded.
Leviticus 10:16	And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
Leviticus 10:17	Why have you not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yehovah?
Leviticus 10:18	Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: you should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
Leviticus 10:19	And Aaron spoke to Moses, Behold, this day they have offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Yehovah; and such things as these have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin-offering today, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Yehovah?
Leviticus 10:20	And when Moses heard that, it was well-pleasing in his sight.
Leviticus 11:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
Leviticus 11:2	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Leviticus 11:3	Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that you may eat.
Leviticus 11:4	Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:5	And the rock badger, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:6	And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:7	And the swine, because he parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:8	Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:9	These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
Leviticus 11:10	And all that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
Leviticus 11:11	and they shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination.
Leviticus 11:12	Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.
Leviticus 11:13	And these you shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the osprey,
Leviticus 11:14	and the kite, and the falcon according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:15	every raven according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:16	and the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:17	and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
Leviticus 11:18	and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,
Leviticus 11:19	and the stork, the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Leviticus 11:20	All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.
Leviticus 11:21	Yet these you may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth;
Leviticus 11:22	even these of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, and the bald locust according to its kind, and the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind.
Leviticus 11:23	But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you.
Leviticus 11:24	And by these you shall become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening;
Leviticus 11:25	and whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 11:26	Every beast which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you: everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
Leviticus 11:27	And whatever goes upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean to you: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 11:28	And he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:29	And these are those which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:30	and the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
Leviticus 11:31	These are those which are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever touches them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 11:32	And anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead, shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean.
Leviticus 11:33	And every earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
Leviticus 11:34	All food in it which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
Leviticus 11:35	And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:36	Nevertheless a spring or a pit in which there is a gathering of water shall be clean: but what touches their carcass shall be unclean.
Leviticus 11:37	And if any part of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
Leviticus 11:38	But if water is put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:39	And if any beast, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 11:40	And he who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 11:41	And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
Leviticus 11:42	Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, you shall not eat them; for they are an abomination.
Leviticus 11:43	You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
Leviticus 11:44	For I am Yehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: nor shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves upon the earth.
Leviticus 11:45	For I am Yehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Leviticus 11:46	This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth;
Leviticus 11:47	to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
Leviticus 12:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 12:2	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceives seed, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness she shall be unclean.
Leviticus 12:3	And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Leviticus 12:4	And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying thirty-three days; she shall touch no holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
Leviticus 12:5	But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying sixty-six days.
Leviticus 12:6	And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin-offering, to the door of the tent of meeting, to the priest:
Leviticus 12:7	and he shall offer it before Yehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
Leviticus 12:8	And if her means do not suffice for a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 13:2	When a man has in the skin of his flesh a swelling, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
Leviticus 13:3	and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Leviticus 13:4	And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up him who has the plague seven days:
Leviticus 13:5	and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes the plague has stayed as it was, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
Leviticus 13:6	and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague is dim, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Leviticus 13:7	But if the scab spreads in the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again:
Leviticus 13:8	and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.
Leviticus 13:9	When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
Leviticus 13:10	and the priest shall look; and, behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw living flesh in the swelling,
Leviticus 13:11	it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean.
Leviticus 13:12	And if the leprosy breaks out in the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of him who has the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appears to the priest;
Leviticus 13:13	then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him who has the plague clean: it has all turned white: he is clean.
Leviticus 13:14	But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
Leviticus 13:15	And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy.
Leviticus 13:16	Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest;
Leviticus 13:17	and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him who has the plague clean: he is clean.
Leviticus 13:18	And when the flesh has a boil in its skin, and it is healed,
Leviticus 13:19	and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;
Leviticus 13:20	and the priest shall look; and, behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the boil.
Leviticus 13:21	But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not lower than the skin, but is dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Leviticus 13:22	and if it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
Leviticus 13:23	But if the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus 13:24	Or when the flesh has a burn by fire in its skin, and the living flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white;
Leviticus 13:25	then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it has broken out in the burn: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
Leviticus 13:26	But if the priest looks on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the skin, but is dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Leviticus 13:27	and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
Leviticus 13:28	And if the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread in the skin, but is dim; it is the swelling of the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is the scar of the burn.
Leviticus 13:29	And when a man or woman has a plague upon the head or upon the beard,
Leviticus 13:30	then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and there is in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
Leviticus 13:31	And if the priest looks on the plague of the itch, and, behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up him who has the plague of the itch seven days:
Leviticus 13:32	and on the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the itch has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch is not deeper than the skin,
Leviticus 13:33	then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut up him who has the itch seven days more:
Leviticus 13:34	and on the seventh day the priest shall look on the itch; and, behold, if the itch has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Leviticus 13:35	But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
Leviticus 13:36	then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
Leviticus 13:37	But if in his eyes the itch has stayed as it was, and black hair has grown up in it; the itch is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus 13:38	And when a man or a woman has in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
Leviticus 13:39	then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh are of a dull white, it is a rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
Leviticus 13:40	And if a man’s hair has fallen off his head, he is bald; yet he is clean.
Leviticus 13:41	And if his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is bald on the forehead; yet he is clean.
Leviticus 13:42	But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
Leviticus 13:43	Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh;
Leviticus 13:44	he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his plague is in his head.
Leviticus 13:45	And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
Leviticus 13:46	All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his dwelling be.
Leviticus 13:47	The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
Leviticus 13:48	whether it is in warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;
Leviticus 13:49	if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
Leviticus 13:50	And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up what has the plague seven days:
Leviticus 13:51	and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for; the plague is a malignant leprosy; it is unclean.
Leviticus 13:52	And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a malignant leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.
Leviticus 13:53	And if the priest looks, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
Leviticus 13:54	then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
Leviticus 13:55	and the priest shall look, after the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague has not changed its color, and the plague has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire: it is an eating away, whether the bareness is within or without.
Leviticus 13:56	And if the priest looks, and, behold, the plague is dim after its washing, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Leviticus 13:57	and if it appears still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is breaking out: you shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.
Leviticus 13:58	And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:59	This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Leviticus 14:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 14:2	This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought to the priest:
Leviticus 14:3	and the priest shall go out of the camp; and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
Leviticus 14:4	then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
Leviticus 14:5	and the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
Leviticus 14:6	As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
Leviticus 14:7	and he shall sprinkle him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
Leviticus 14:8	And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
Leviticus 14:9	And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus 14:10	And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
Leviticus 14:11	And the priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Yehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 14:12	And the priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before Yehovah:
Leviticus 14:13	and he shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary: for as the sin-offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass-offering: it is most holy.
Leviticus 14:14	And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot.
Leviticus 14:15	And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand;
Leviticus 14:16	and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yehovah.
Leviticus 14:17	And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest shall put upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering:
Leviticus 14:18	and the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him who is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yehovah.
Leviticus 14:19	And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt-offering;
Leviticus 14:20	and the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus 14:21	And if he is poor, and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil;
Leviticus 14:22	and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.
Leviticus 14:23	And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting, before Yehovah:
Leviticus 14:24	and the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Yehovah.
Leviticus 14:25	And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the big toe of his right foot.

Leviticus 14:30	And he shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,
Leviticus 14:31	even such as he is able to afford, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Yehovah.
Leviticus 14:32	This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford what pertains to his cleansing.
Leviticus 14:33	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 14:34	When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
Leviticus 14:35	then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seems to me to be something like a plague in the house.
Leviticus 14:36	And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to see the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
Leviticus 14:37	and he shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and its appearance is lower than the wall;
Leviticus 14:38	then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
Leviticus 14:39	And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague has spread in the walls of the house;
Leviticus 14:40	then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place outside the city:
Leviticus 14:41	and he shall cause the house to be scraped inside all around, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, outside the city into an unclean place:
Leviticus 14:42	and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
Leviticus 14:43	And if the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered;
Leviticus 14:44	then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
Leviticus 14:45	And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
Leviticus 14:46	Moreover he who goes into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 14:47	And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
Leviticus 14:48	And if the priest comes in, and looks, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
Leviticus 14:49	And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
Leviticus 14:50	and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
Leviticus 14:51	and he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
Leviticus 14:52	and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
Leviticus 14:53	but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field: so he shall make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.
Leviticus 14:54	This is the law for every kind of plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
Leviticus 14:55	and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house,
Leviticus 14:56	and for a swelling, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
Leviticus 14:57	to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus 15:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 15:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man has a discharge out of his flesh, because of his discharge he is unclean.
Leviticus 15:3	And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh is stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
Leviticus 15:4	Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.
Leviticus 15:5	And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:6	And he who sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:7	And he who touches the flesh of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:8	And if he who has the discharge spits upon him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:9	And whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides upon shall be unclean.
Leviticus 15:10	And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening: and he who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:11	And whomever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:12	And the earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
Leviticus 15:13	And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
Leviticus 15:14	And on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Yehovah to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest:
Leviticus 15:15	and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yehovah for his discharge.
Leviticus 15:16	And if any man’s seed of copulation goes out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:17	And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:18	The woman also with whom a man lies with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:19	And if a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:20	And everything that she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean: everything also that she sits upon shall be unclean.
Leviticus 15:21	And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:22	And whoever touches anything that she sits upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:23	And if it is on the bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:24	And if any man lies with her, and her impurity is upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
Leviticus 15:25	And if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.
Leviticus 15:26	Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity: and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.
Leviticus 15:27	And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
Leviticus 15:28	But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
Leviticus 15:29	And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 15:30	And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Yehovah for the discharge of her uncleanness.
Leviticus 15:31	Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they may not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.
Leviticus 15:32	This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him whose seed of copulation goes from him, so that he is unclean by it;
Leviticus 15:33	and of her who is sick with her impurity, and of him who has a discharge, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
Leviticus 16:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Yehovah, and died;
Leviticus 16:2	and Yehovah said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, that he not come at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is upon the ark; that he may not die: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
Leviticus 16:3	With this Aaron shall come into the holy place: with a young bull for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.
Leviticus 16:4	He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen undergarments upon his flesh, and shall be tied with the linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be attired: they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.
Leviticus 16:5	And he shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.
Leviticus 16:6	And Aaron shall present the bull of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.
Leviticus 16:7	And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Yehovah at the door of the tent of meeting.
Leviticus 16:8	And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Yehovah, and the other lot for Azazel.
Leviticus 16:9	And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Yehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering.
Leviticus 16:10	But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before Yehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness.
Leviticus 16:11	And Aaron shall present the bull of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin-offering which is for himself.
Leviticus 16:12	And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before Yehovah, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:
Leviticus 16:13	and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Yehovah, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he may not die:
Leviticus 16:14	and he shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
Leviticus 16:15	Then he shall kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring its blood within the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
Leviticus 16:16	and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so he shall do for the tent of meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
Leviticus 16:17	And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
Leviticus 16:18	And he shall go out to the altar that is before Yehovah, and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the blood of the bull, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar all around.
Leviticus 16:19	And he shall sprinkle some of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel.
Leviticus 16:20	And when he has made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat:
Leviticus 16:21	and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man who is in readiness into the wilderness:
Leviticus 16:22	and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a solitary land: and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
Leviticus 16:23	And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
Leviticus 16:24	and he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.
Leviticus 16:25	And the fat of the sin-offering he shall burn upon the altar.
Leviticus 16:26	And he who lets the goat go for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
Leviticus 16:27	And the bull of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
Leviticus 16:28	And he who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
Leviticus 16:29	And it shall be a statute forever to you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who sojourns among you:
Leviticus 16:30	for on this day atonement shall be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before Yehovah.
Leviticus 16:31	It is a sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever.
Leviticus 16:32	And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments:
Leviticus 16:33	and he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
Leviticus 16:34	And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 17:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 17:2	Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded, saying,
Leviticus 17:3	Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
Leviticus 17:4	and has not brought it to the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation to Yehovah before the tabernacle of Yehovah: blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
Leviticus 17:5	to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings to Yehovah.
Leviticus 17:6	And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Yehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 17:7	And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.
Leviticus 17:8	And you shall say to them, Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who offers a burnt-offering or sacrifice,
Leviticus 17:9	and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it to Yehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 17:10	And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
Leviticus 17:11	For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
Leviticus 17:12	Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
Leviticus 17:13	And whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
Leviticus 17:14	For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is one with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall eat the blood of no kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eats it shall be cut off.
Leviticus 17:15	And every soul that eats what dies of itself, or what is torn by beasts, whether he is native-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
Leviticus 17:16	But if he does not wash them, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 18:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 18:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 18:3	According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do: and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their statutes.
Leviticus 18:4	My ordinances you shall do, and my statutes you shall keep, to walk in them: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 18:5	You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 18:6	None of you shall approach any who are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 18:7	The nakedness of your father, even the nakedness of your mother, you shall not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus 18:8	The nakedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness.
Leviticus 18:9	The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
Leviticus 18:10	The nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
Leviticus 18:11	The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus 18:12	You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister: she is your father’s near kinswoman.
Leviticus 18:13	You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
Leviticus 18:14	You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.
Leviticus 18:15	You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son’s wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus 18:16	You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife: it is your brother’s nakedness.
Leviticus 18:17	You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; you shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
Leviticus 18:18	And you shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her lifetime.
Leviticus 18:19	And you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
Leviticus 18:20	And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.
Leviticus 18:21	And you shall not give any of your seed to make them pass through the fire to Molech; nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 18:22	You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 18:23	And you shall not lie with any beast to defile yourself with it; nor shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down with it: it is confusion.
Leviticus 18:24	Do not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I cast out from before you are defiled;
Leviticus 18:25	and the land is defiled: therefore I visit its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out her inhabitants.
Leviticus 18:26	You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who sojourns among you
Leviticus 18:27	(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and the land is defiled);
Leviticus 18:28	that the land may not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
Leviticus 18:29	For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
Leviticus 18:30	Therefore you shall keep my charge, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves in them: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 19:2	Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy; for I Yehovah your God am holy.
Leviticus 19:3	Every man of you shall fear his mother, and his father; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:4	Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molten gods: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:5	And when you offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yehovah, you shall offer it that you may be accepted.
Leviticus 19:6	It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
Leviticus 19:7	And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted:
Leviticus 19:8	but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 19:9	And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest.
Leviticus 19:10	And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:11	You shall not steal; nor shall you deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
Leviticus 19:12	And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:13	You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
Leviticus 19:14	You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:15	You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
Leviticus 19:16	You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: nor shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:17	You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
Leviticus 19:18	You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:19	You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind: you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed: nor shall there come upon you a garment of two kinds of material mixed together.
Leviticus 19:20	And whoever lies carnally with a woman who is a slave woman, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor given her freedom; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
Leviticus 19:21	And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Yehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering.
Leviticus 19:22	And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Yehovah for his sin which he has sinned: and the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus 19:23	And when you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as their uncircumcision: three years they shall be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten.
Leviticus 19:24	But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:25	And in the fifth year you shall eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:26	You shall not eat anything with the blood: nor shall you use enchantments, nor practice augury.
Leviticus 19:27	You shall not round the corners of your heads, nor shall you mar the corners of your beard.
Leviticus 19:28	You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:29	Do not profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
Leviticus 19:30	You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:31	Do not turn to those who have familiar spirits, nor to the wizards; do not seek them out, to be defiled by them: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:32	You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of the old man, and you shall fear your God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 19:33	And if a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
Leviticus 19:34	The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 19:35	You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.
Leviticus 19:36	Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, you shall have: I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Leviticus 19:37	And you shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 20:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 20:2	Moreover, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whoever he is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Leviticus 20:3	I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given some of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Leviticus 20:4	And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives any of his seed to Molech, and do not put him to death;
Leviticus 20:5	then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
Leviticus 20:6	And the soul that turns to those who have familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Leviticus 20:7	Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 20:8	And you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Yehovah who sanctifies you.
Leviticus 20:9	For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
Leviticus 20:10	And the man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 20:11	And the man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:12	And if a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:13	And if a man lies with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:14	And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness among you.
Leviticus 20:15	And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast.
Leviticus 20:16	And if a woman approaches any beast, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:17	And if a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 20:18	And if a man lies with a woman having her sickness, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
Leviticus 20:19	And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister; for he has made naked his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
Leviticus 20:20	And if a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
Leviticus 20:21	And if a man takes his brother’s wife, it is impurity: he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
Leviticus 20:22	You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.
Leviticus 20:23	And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Leviticus 20:24	But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Yehovah your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
Leviticus 20:25	You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean.
Leviticus 20:26	And you shall be holy to me: for I, Yehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
Leviticus 20:27	A man also or a woman who has a familiar spirit, or who is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 21:1	And Yehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them, None shall defile himself for the dead among his people;
Leviticus 21:2	except for his kin, who is near to him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
Leviticus 21:3	and for his sister a virgin, who is near to him, who has had no husband; for her he may defile himself.
Leviticus 21:4	He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
Leviticus 21:5	They shall not make baldness upon their head, nor shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
Leviticus 21:6	They shall be holy to their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of Yehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they offer: therefore they shall be holy.
Leviticus 21:7	They shall not take a woman who is a prostitute, or profane; nor shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy to his God.
Leviticus 21:8	You shall sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of your God: he shall be holy to you; for I Yehovah, who sanctify you, am holy.
Leviticus 21:9	And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the prostitute, she profanes her father: she shall be burned with fire.
Leviticus 21:10	And he who is the high priest among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor tear his clothes;
Leviticus 21:11	nor shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;
Leviticus 21:12	nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 21:13	And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
Leviticus 21:14	A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a prostitute, these he shall not take: but a virgin of his own people he shall take as wife.
Leviticus 21:15	And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Yehovah who sanctifies him.
Leviticus 21:16	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 21:17	Speak to Aaron, saying, Whoever he is of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:18	For whatever man he is who has a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or anything superfluous,
Leviticus 21:19	or a man who is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
Leviticus 21:20	or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or who has a blemish in his eye, or has an itching disease, or scabs, or has crushed testicles;
Leviticus 21:21	no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Yehovah made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:22	He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy:
Leviticus 21:23	only he shall not go in to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries: for I am Yehovah who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 21:24	So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
Leviticus 22:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:2	Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they not profane my holy name: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:3	Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, who approaches the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow to Yehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:4	Whatever man of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a discharge; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;
Leviticus 22:5	or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;
Leviticus 22:6	the soul who touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathes his flesh in water.
Leviticus 22:7	And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
Leviticus 22:8	What dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:9	They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die in it, if they profane it: I am Yehovah who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 22:10	No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Leviticus 22:11	But if a priest buys any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
Leviticus 22:12	And if a priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
Leviticus 22:13	But if a priest’s daughter is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but no stranger shall eat of it.
Leviticus 22:14	And if a man eats of the holy thing unintentionally, then he shall add the fifth part of it to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
Leviticus 22:15	And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yehovah,
Leviticus 22:16	and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Yehovah who sanctifies them.
Leviticus 22:17	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:18	Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who offers his oblation, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer to Yehovah for a burnt-offering;
Leviticus 22:19	that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Leviticus 22:20	But whatever has a blemish, that you shall not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Leviticus 22:21	And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.
Leviticus 22:22	Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to Yehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:23	Either a bull or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Leviticus 22:24	What has its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, you shall not offer to Yehovah; nor shall you do thus in your land.
Leviticus 22:25	Nor from the hand of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
Leviticus 22:26	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:27	When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and from then on it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:28	And whether it is cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
Leviticus 22:29	And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yehovah, you shall sacrifice it that you may be accepted.
Leviticus 22:30	On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:31	Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 22:32	And you shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Yehovah who hallows you,
Leviticus 22:33	who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, The set feasts of Yehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
Leviticus 23:3	Six days work shall be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work: it is a sabbath to Yehovah in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:4	These are the set feasts of Yehovah, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
Leviticus 23:5	In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is Yehovah’s passover.
Leviticus 23:6	And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yehovah: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
Leviticus 23:7	On the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.
Leviticus 23:8	But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah seven days: on the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.
Leviticus 23:9	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:10	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you have come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest:
Leviticus 23:11	and he shall wave the sheaf before Yehovah, to be accepted for you: on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Leviticus 23:12	And in the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:13	And its meal-offering shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yehovah for a sweet aroma; and its drink-offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
Leviticus 23:14	And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this very day, until you have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:15	And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths there shall be complete:
Leviticus 23:16	even to the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal-offering to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:17	You shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:18	And you shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to Yehovah, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:19	And you shall offer one male goat for a sin-offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.
Leviticus 23:20	And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before Yehovah, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yehovah for the priest.
Leviticus 23:21	And you shall make proclamation on the very same day; there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Leviticus 23:22	And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 23:23	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:24	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
Leviticus 23:25	You shall do no servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:26	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:27	However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:28	And you shall do no kind of work on that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 23:29	For whatever soul it is that is not afflicted on that same day; he shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 23:30	And whatever soul it is that does any kind of work on that same day, that soul I will destroy from among his people.
Leviticus 23:31	You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:32	It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your sabbath.
Leviticus 23:33	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:34	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:35	On the first day there shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.
Leviticus 23:36	Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah: on the eighth day there shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah: it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work.
Leviticus 23:37	These are the set feasts of Yehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yehovah, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;
Leviticus 23:38	besides the sabbaths of Yehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to Yehovah.
Leviticus 23:39	However, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yehovah seven days: on the first day there shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day there shall be a solemn rest.
Leviticus 23:40	And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yehovah your God seven days.
Leviticus 23:41	And you shall keep it as a feast to Yehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.
Leviticus 23:42	You shall dwell in booths seven days; all who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;
Leviticus 23:43	that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 23:44	And Moses declared to the children of Israel the set feasts of Yehovah.
Leviticus 24:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 24:2	Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Leviticus 24:3	Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yehovah continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
Leviticus 24:4	He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure lampstand before Yehovah continually.
Leviticus 24:5	And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.
Leviticus 24:6	And you shall set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Yehovah.
Leviticus 24:7	And you shall put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yehovah.
Leviticus 24:8	Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yehovah continually; it is on behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
Leviticus 24:9	And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.
Leviticus 24:10	And the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel fought together in the camp:
Leviticus 24:11	and the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
Leviticus 24:12	And they put him in custody, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Yehovah.
Leviticus 24:13	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 24:14	Bring out him who has cursed outside the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Leviticus 24:15	And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
Leviticus 24:16	And he who blasphemes the name of Yehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the sojourner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the name of Yehovah, shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24:17	And he who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 24:18	And he who strikes a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
Leviticus 24:19	And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
Leviticus 24:20	breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
Leviticus 24:21	And he who kills a beast shall make it good: and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24:22	You shall have one kind of law, for the sojourner as well as for the native-born: for I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 24:23	And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Leviticus 25:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses on mount Sinai, saying,
Leviticus 25:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to Yehovah.
Leviticus 25:3	Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
Leviticus 25:4	but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath to Yehovah: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
Leviticus 25:5	What grows of itself of your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your untended vine you shall not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
Leviticus 25:6	And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for you, and for your servant and for your female servant, and for your hired servant and for your stranger, who sojourn with you.
Leviticus 25:7	And for your cattle, and for the beasts that are in your land, all its increase shall be for food.
Leviticus 25:8	And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
Leviticus 25:9	Then you shall send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement you shall send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.
Leviticus 25:10	And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family.
Leviticus 25:11	That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you: you shall not sow, nor reap what grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the untended vines.
Leviticus 25:12	For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat its increase out of the field.
Leviticus 25:13	In this year of jubilee you shall return every man to his possession.
Leviticus 25:14	And if you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.
Leviticus 25:15	According to the number of years after the jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.
Leviticus 25:16	According to the multitude of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you the number of the crops.
Leviticus 25:17	And you shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 25:18	Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.
Leviticus 25:19	And the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
Leviticus 25:20	And if you say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;
Leviticus 25:21	then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.
Leviticus 25:22	And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, you shall eat the old store.
Leviticus 25:23	And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for you are strangers and sojourners with me.
Leviticus 25:24	And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.
Leviticus 25:25	If your brother has become poor, and sells some of his possession, then his kinsman who is next to him shall come, and shall redeem what his brother has sold.
Leviticus 25:26	And if a man has no one to redeem it, and he has become rich and finds sufficient to redeem it;
Leviticus 25:27	then let him reckon the years of its sale, and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return to his possession.
Leviticus 25:28	But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
Leviticus 25:29	And if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year he shall have the right of redemption.
Leviticus 25:30	And if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him who bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
Leviticus 25:31	But the houses of the villages which have no wall around them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
Leviticus 25:32	Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time.
Leviticus 25:33	And if one of the Levites redeems, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Leviticus 25:34	But the field of the pasturelands of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Leviticus 25:35	And if your brother has become poor, and his hand fails with you; then you shall uphold him: as a stranger and a sojourner he shall live with you.
Leviticus 25:36	Take no interest from him or increase, but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.
Leviticus 25:37	You shall not give him your money at interest, nor give him your food for increase.
Leviticus 25:38	I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
Leviticus 25:39	And if your brother has become poor with you, and sells himself to you; you shall not make him serve as a bondservant.
Leviticus 25:40	As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you; he shall serve with you to the year of jubilee:
Leviticus 25:41	then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers he shall return.
Leviticus 25:42	For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
Leviticus 25:43	You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God.
Leviticus 25:44	And as for your male slaves, and your female slaves, whom you shall have; of the nations that are around you, of them you shall buy male slaves and female slaves.
Leviticus 25:45	Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you shall buy, and of their families that are with you, whom they have fathered in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Leviticus 25:46	And you shall make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them you shall take your slaves forever: but over your brothers the children of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
Leviticus 25:47	And if a stranger or sojourner with you has become rich, and your brother has become poor beside him, and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner with you, or to a member of the stranger’s family;
Leviticus 25:48	after he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his brothers may redeem him;
Leviticus 25:49	or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any who is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he has become rich, he may redeem himself.
Leviticus 25:50	And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he sold himself to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant he shall be with him.
Leviticus 25:51	If there are still many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Leviticus 25:52	And if there remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according to his years he shall give back the price of his redemption.
Leviticus 25:53	As a servant hired year by year he shall be with him: he shall not rule with harshness over him in your sight.
Leviticus 25:54	And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him.
Leviticus 25:55	For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 26:1	You shall make for yourselves no idols, nor shall you raise up for yourselves a graven image, or a pillar, nor shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yehovah your God.
Leviticus 26:2	You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 26:3	If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
Leviticus 26:4	then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Leviticus 26:5	And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
Leviticus 26:6	And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.
Leviticus 26:7	And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
Leviticus 26:8	And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
Leviticus 26:9	And I will have regard for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
Leviticus 26:10	And you shall eat old store long kept, and you shall bring out the old because of the new.
Leviticus 26:11	And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
Leviticus 26:12	And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
Leviticus 26:13	I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk upright.
Leviticus 26:14	But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;
Leviticus 26:15	and if you reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;
Leviticus 26:16	I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even wasting disease and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul pine away; and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Leviticus 26:17	And I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck down before your enemies: those who hate you shall rule over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.
Leviticus 26:18	And if after these things you will still not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
Leviticus 26:19	And I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your heaven like iron, and your earth like bronze;
Leviticus 26:20	and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
Leviticus 26:21	And if you walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
Leviticus 26:22	And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.
Leviticus 26:23	And if by these things you will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;
Leviticus 26:24	then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26:25	And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Leviticus 26:26	When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread back by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
Leviticus 26:27	And if in spite of all this you will not listen to me, but walk contrary to me;
Leviticus 26:28	then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
Leviticus 26:29	And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.
Leviticus 26:30	And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you.
Leviticus 26:31	And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the aroma of your sweet odors.
Leviticus 26:32	And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
Leviticus 26:33	And you I will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
Leviticus 26:34	Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you are in your enemies’ land; even then the land shall rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.
Leviticus 26:35	As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it did not have in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.
Leviticus 26:36	And as for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.
Leviticus 26:37	And they shall stumble over one another, as if before the sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
Leviticus 26:38	And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
Leviticus 26:39	And those of you who are left shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.
Leviticus 26:40	And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,
Leviticus 26:41	I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;
Leviticus 26:42	then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham I will remember; and I will remember the land.
Leviticus 26:43	The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it lies desolate without them: and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
Leviticus 26:44	And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yehovah their God;
Leviticus 26:45	but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Yehovah.
Leviticus 26:46	These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Yehovah made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai by Moses.
Leviticus 27:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 27:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man accomplishes a vow, the persons shall be for Yehovah by your estimation.
Leviticus 27:3	And your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Leviticus 27:4	And if it is a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.
Leviticus 27:5	And if it is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Leviticus 27:6	And if it is from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
Leviticus 27:7	And if it is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Leviticus 27:8	But if he is poorer than your estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed the priest shall value him.
Leviticus 27:9	And if it is a beast, of which men offer an oblation to Yehovah, all that any man gives of such to Yehovah shall be holy.
Leviticus 27:10	He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he does at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
Leviticus 27:11	And if it is any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation to Yehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest;
Leviticus 27:12	and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad: as you the priest value it, so it shall be.
Leviticus 27:13	But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to your estimation.
Leviticus 27:14	And when a man sanctifies his house to be holy to Yehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest estimates it, so it shall stand.
Leviticus 27:15	And if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his.
Leviticus 27:16	And if a man sanctifies to Yehovah part of the field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to its sowing: the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
Leviticus 27:17	If he sanctifies his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand.
Leviticus 27:18	But if he sanctifies his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the year of jubilee; and a reduction shall be made from your estimation.
Leviticus 27:19	And if he who sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.
Leviticus 27:20	And if he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more:
Leviticus 27:21	but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to Yehovah, as a field devoted; its possession shall be the priest’s.
Leviticus 27:22	And if he sanctifies to Yehovah a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession;
Leviticus 27:23	then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation to the year of jubilee: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to Yehovah.
Leviticus 27:24	In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
Leviticus 27:25	And all your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
Leviticus 27:26	Only the firstborn among beasts, which is made a firstborn to Yehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it is ox or sheep, it is Yehovah’s.
Leviticus 27:27	And if it is of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to your estimation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.
Leviticus 27:28	Nevertheless, no devoted thing, that a man devotes to Yehovah of all that he has, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to Yehovah.
Leviticus 27:29	No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus 27:30	And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Yehovah’s: it is holy to Yehovah.
Leviticus 27:31	And if a man will redeem anything of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.
Leviticus 27:32	And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to Yehovah.
Leviticus 27:33	He shall not search whether it is good or bad, nor shall he change it: and if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Leviticus 27:34	These are the commandments, which Yehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel on mount Sinai.
Numbers 1:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Numbers 1:2	Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, head by head;
Numbers 1:3	from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall number them by their hosts.
Numbers 1:4	And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his fathers’ house.

Numbers 1:18	and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their pedigrees by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, head by head.
Numbers 1:19	As Yehovah commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

Numbers 1:27	those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
Numbers 1:28	Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
Numbers 1:29	those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

Numbers 1:33	those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.
Numbers 1:34	Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;

Numbers 1:44	These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one for his fathers’ house.
Numbers 1:45	So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel;
Numbers 1:46	even all those who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
Numbers 1:47	But the Levites by the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
Numbers 1:48	For Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 1:49	Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor shall you take the sum of them among the children of Israel;
Numbers 1:50	but appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furniture, and over all that belongs to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its furniture; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle.
Numbers 1:51	And when the tabernacle sets out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Numbers 1:52	And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts.
Numbers 1:53	But the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.
Numbers 1:54	Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that Yehovah commanded Moses, so they did.
Numbers 2:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Numbers 2:17	Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camps: as they encamp, so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.
Numbers 2:18	On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.

Numbers 5:2	Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever is unclean by the dead:
Numbers 5:3	both male and female you shall put out, outside the camp you shall put them; that they may not defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.
Numbers 5:4	And the children of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp; as Yehovah spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Numbers 5:5	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 5:6	Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yehovah, and that soul shall be guilty;
Numbers 5:7	then he shall confess his sin which he has done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Numbers 5:8	But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yehovah shall be the priest’s; besides the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
Numbers 5:9	And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Numbers 5:10	And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.
Numbers 5:11	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 5:12	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man’s wife goes aside, and commits a trespass against him,
Numbers 5:13	and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and is kept secret, and she is defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she is not taken in the act;
Numbers 5:14	and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife, and she is not defiled:
Numbers 5:15	then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
Numbers 5:16	And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yehovah:
Numbers 5:17	and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water.
Numbers 5:18	And the priest shall set the woman before Yehovah, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causes the curse.
Numbers 5:19	And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this water of bitterness that causes the curse.
Numbers 5:20	But if you have gone aside, being under your husband, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband:
Numbers 5:21	then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, Yehovah make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yehovah makes your thigh fall away, and your body swell;
Numbers 5:22	and this water that causes the curse shall go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.
Numbers 5:23	And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:
Numbers 5:24	and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
Numbers 5:25	And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before Yehovah, and bring it to the altar:
Numbers 5:26	and the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
Numbers 5:27	And when he has made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
Numbers 5:28	And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
Numbers 5:29	This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes aside, and is defiled;
Numbers 5:30	or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yehovah, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
Numbers 5:31	And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
Numbers 6:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 6:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to Yehovah,
Numbers 6:3	he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
Numbers 6:4	All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.
Numbers 6:5	All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall come on his head: until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to Yehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
Numbers 6:6	All the days that he separates himself to Yehovah he shall not come near to a dead body.
Numbers 6:7	He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation to God is on his head.
Numbers 6:8	All the days of his separation he is holy to Yehovah.
Numbers 6:9	And if any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day he shall shave it.
Numbers 6:10	And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:
Numbers 6:11	and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
Numbers 6:12	And he shall separate to Yehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.
Numbers 6:13	And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought to the door of the tent of meeting:
Numbers 6:14	and he shall offer his oblation to Yehovah, one male lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,
Numbers 6:15	and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings.
Numbers 6:16	And the priest shall present them before Yehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:
Numbers 6:17	and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also its meal-offering, and its drink-offering.
Numbers 6:18	And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings.
Numbers 6:19	And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation;
Numbers 6:20	and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Yehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.
Numbers 6:21	This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his oblation to Yehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he vows, so he must do according to the law of his separation.
Numbers 6:22	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 6:23	Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, On this way you shall bless the children of Israel: you shall say to them,
Numbers 6:24	Yehovah bless you, and keep you:
Numbers 6:25	Yehovah make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
Numbers 6:26	Yehovah lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Numbers 6:27	So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
Numbers 7:1	And it happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all its furniture, and the altar and all its vessels, and had anointed them and sanctified them;
Numbers 7:2	that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes, these are those who were over those who were numbered:
Numbers 7:3	and they brought their oblation before Yehovah, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
Numbers 7:4	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 7:5	Take it of them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Numbers 7:89	And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with him, then he heard the Voice speaking to him from above the mercy-seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim: and he spoke to him.
Numbers 8:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 8:2	Speak to Aaron, and say to him, When you light the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.
Numbers 8:3	And Aaron did so; he lighted its lamps so as to give light in front of the lampstand, as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Numbers 8:4	And this was the work of the lampstand, beaten work of gold; to its base, and to its flowers, it was beaten work: according to the pattern which Yehovah had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Numbers 8:5	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 8:6	Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Numbers 8:7	And thus you shall do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation on them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
Numbers 8:8	Then let them take a young bull, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and you shall take another young bull for a sin-offering.
Numbers 8:9	And you shall present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and you shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:
Numbers 8:10	and you shall present the Levites before Yehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites:
Numbers 8:11	and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yehovah for a wave-offering, on behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Yehovah.
Numbers 8:12	And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls: and offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, to Yehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.
Numbers 8:13	And you shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave-offering to Yehovah.
Numbers 8:14	Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
Numbers 8:15	And after that the Levites shall go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer them for a wave-offering.
Numbers 8:16	For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that opens the womb, even the firstborn of all the children of Israel, I have taken them for myself.
Numbers 8:17	For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
Numbers 8:18	And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Numbers 8:19	And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there may be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary.
Numbers 8:20	Thus Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites: according to all that Yehovah commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.
Numbers 8:21	And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a wave-offering before Yehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.
Numbers 8:22	And after that the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Yehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Numbers 8:23	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 8:24	This is that which belongs to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall go in to wait on the service in the work of the tent of meeting:
Numbers 8:25	and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting on the work, and shall serve no more,
Numbers 8:26	but shall minister with their brothers in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus you shall do to the Levites concerning their charges.
Numbers 9:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Numbers 9:2	Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.
Numbers 9:3	In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it.
Numbers 9:4	And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Numbers 9:5	And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Yehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Numbers 9:6	And there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
Numbers 9:7	and those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: why are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Yehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel?
Numbers 9:8	And Moses said to them, Wait, that I may hear what Yehovah will command concerning you.
Numbers 9:9	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 9:10	Speak to 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 afar off, yet he shall keep the passover to Yehovah.
Numbers 9:11	In the second month on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:
Numbers 9:12	they shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break a bone of it: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it.
Numbers 9:13	But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbears to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he did not offer the oblation of Yehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
Numbers 9:14	And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover to Yehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do: you shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him who is born in the land.
Numbers 9:15	And on the day that the tabernacle was set up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at evening it was on the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
Numbers 9:16	So it was always: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
Numbers 9:17	And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
Numbers 9:18	At the commandment of Yehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Yehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
Numbers 9:19	And when the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Yehovah, and did not journey.
Numbers 9:20	And sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yehovah they journeyed.
Numbers 9:21	And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or if it continued by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
Numbers 9:22	Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, abiding on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and did not journey; but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
Numbers 9:23	At the commandment of Yehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Yehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Yehovah, at the commandment of Yehovah by Moses.
Numbers 10:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 10:2	Make two trumpets of silver; you shall make them of beaten work: and you shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
Numbers 10:3	And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting.
Numbers 10:4	And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.
Numbers 10:5	And when you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
Numbers 10:6	And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
Numbers 10:7	But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.
Numbers 10:8	And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations.
Numbers 10:9	And when you go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and you shall be remembered before Yehovah your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
Numbers 10:10	Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Yehovah your God.
Numbers 10:11	And it happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.
Numbers 10:12	And the children of Israel set out according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud remained in the wilderness of Paran.
Numbers 10:13	And they first took their journey according to the commandment of Yehovah by Moses.

Numbers 10:27	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
Numbers 10:28	Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set out.
Numbers 10:29	And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying to the place of which Yehovah said, I will give it to you: come with us, and we will do you good; for Yehovah has spoken good concerning Israel.
Numbers 10:30	And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.
Numbers 10:31	And he said, Please do not leave us, since you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you shall be to us instead of eyes.
Numbers 10:32	And it shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yehovah shall do to us, the same we will do to you.
Numbers 10:33	And they set out from the mount of Yehovah three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of Yehovah went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.
Numbers 10:34	And the cloud of Yehovah was over them by day, when they set out from the camp.
Numbers 10:35	And it happened, when the ark set out, that Moses said, Rise up, O Yehovah, and let your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate you flee before you.
Numbers 10:36	And when it rested, he said, Return, O Yehovah, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
Numbers 11:1	And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Yehovah: and when Yehovah heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Yehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
Numbers 11:2	And the people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to Yehovah, and the fire abated.
Numbers 11:3	And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Yehovah burnt among them.
Numbers 11:4	And the mixed multitude that was among them craved exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Numbers 11:5	We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
Numbers 11:6	but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all except this manna to look on.
Numbers 11:7	And the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance as the appearance of bdellium.
Numbers 11:8	The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Numbers 11:9	And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it.
Numbers 11:10	And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Yehovah was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
Numbers 11:11	And Moses said to Yehovah, Why have you dealt ill with your servant? and why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?
Numbers 11:12	Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that you should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing-father carries the nursing child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?
Numbers 11:13	From where should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Numbers 11:14	I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Numbers 11:15	And if you deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in your sight; and do not let me see my wretchedness.
Numbers 11:16	And Yehovah said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
Numbers 11:17	And I will come down and talk with you there: and I will take of the Spirit which is on you, and will put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
Numbers 11:18	And say to the people, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh; for you have wept in the ears of Yehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Yehovah will give you flesh, and you shall eat.
Numbers 11:19	You shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,
Numbers 11:20	but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it is loathsome to you; because you have rejected Yehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?
Numbers 11:21	And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand foot soldiers; and you have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Numbers 11:22	Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
Numbers 11:23	And Yehovah said to Moses, Has Yehovah’s hand grown short? now you shall see whether my word shall come to pass to you or not.
Numbers 11:24	And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Yehovah: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the Tent.
Numbers 11:25	And Yehovah came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him, and put it on the seventy elders: and it happened, that, when the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
Numbers 11:26	But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested on them; and they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
Numbers 11:27	And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.
Numbers 11:28	And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
Numbers 11:29	And Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? would that all Yehovah’s people were prophets, that Yehovah would put his Spirit on them!
Numbers 11:30	And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Numbers 11:31	And there went out a wind from Yehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
Numbers 11:32	And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he who gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.
Numbers 11:33	While the flesh was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yehovah was kindled against the people, and Yehovah struck the people with a very great plague.
Numbers 11:34	And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who craved.
Numbers 11:35	From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
Numbers 12:1	And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
Numbers 12:2	And they said, Has Yehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? has he not spoken also with us? And Yehovah heard it.
Numbers 12:3	Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were on the face of the earth.
Numbers 12:4	And Yehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, You three, come out to the tent of meeting. And they three came out.
Numbers 12:5	And Yehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came out.
Numbers 12:6	And he said, Hear now my words: if there is a prophet among you, I Yehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.
Numbers 12:7	My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:
Numbers 12:8	with him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and he shall behold the form of Yehovah: why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
Numbers 12:9	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.
Numbers 12:10	And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked on Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Numbers 12:11	And Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, please do not lay sin on us, because we have done foolishly, and because we have sinned.
Numbers 12:12	Please do not let her be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.
Numbers 12:13	And Moses cried to Yehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beg you.
Numbers 12:14	And Yehovah said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.
Numbers 12:15	And Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days: and the people did not journey until Miriam was brought in again.
Numbers 12:16	And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
Numbers 13:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 13:2	Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.
Numbers 13:3	And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

Numbers 13:16	These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Numbers 13:17	And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country:
Numbers 13:18	and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
Numbers 13:19	and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
Numbers 13:20	and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
Numbers 13:21	So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
Numbers 13:22	And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Numbers 13:23	And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Numbers 13:24	That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Numbers 13:25	And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Numbers 13:26	And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Numbers 13:27	And they told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Numbers 13:28	However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Numbers 13:29	Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
Numbers 13:30	And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Numbers 13:31	But the men who went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Numbers 13:32	And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
Numbers 13:33	And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers 14:1	And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Numbers 14:2	And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!
Numbers 14:3	And why does Yehovah bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: would it not be better for us to return into Egypt?
Numbers 14:4	And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Numbers 14:5	Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Numbers 14:6	And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes:
Numbers 14:7	and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.
Numbers 14:8	If Yehovah delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
Numbers 14:9	Only do not rebel against Yehovah, nor fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yehovah is with us: do not fear them.
Numbers 14:10	But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of Yehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the children of Israel.
Numbers 14:11	And Yehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have performed among them?
Numbers 14:12	I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.
Numbers 14:13	And Moses said to Yehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;
Numbers 14:14	and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, Yehovah, are in the midst of this people; for you, Yehovah, are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Numbers 14:15	Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
Numbers 14:16	Because Yehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.
Numbers 14:17	And now, please let the power of the Lord be great, just as you have spoken, saying,
Numbers 14:18	Yehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.
Numbers 14:19	Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your lovingkindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
Numbers 14:20	And Yehovah said, I have pardoned according to your word:
Numbers 14:21	but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Yehovah;
Numbers 14:22	because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tested me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
Numbers 14:23	surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it:
Numbers 14:24	but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Numbers 14:25	Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn, and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Numbers 14:26	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Numbers 14:27	How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmurs against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
Numbers 14:28	Say to them, As I live, says Yehovah, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you:
Numbers 14:29	your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
Numbers 14:30	surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers 14:31	But your little ones, whom you said should be a prey, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
Numbers 14:32	But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
Numbers 14:33	And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
Numbers 14:34	According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you shall bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my alienation.
Numbers 14:35	I, Yehovah, have spoken, surely this I will do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Numbers 14:36	And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
Numbers 14:37	even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Yehovah.
Numbers 14:38	But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
Numbers 14:39	And Moses told these words to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Numbers 14:40	And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Look, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yehovah has promised: for we have sinned.
Numbers 14:41	And Moses said, Why now do you transgress the commandment of Yehovah, seeing it shall not prosper?
Numbers 14:42	Do not go up, for Yehovah is not among you; that you may not be struck down before your enemies.
Numbers 14:43	For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword: because you have turned back from following Yehovah, therefore Yehovah will not be with you.
Numbers 14:44	But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.
Numbers 14:45	Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who dwelt in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
Numbers 15:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
Numbers 15:3	and will make an offering by fire to Yehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;
Numbers 15:4	then he who offers his oblation shall offer to Yehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
Numbers 15:5	and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
Numbers 15:6	Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:
Numbers 15:7	and for the drink-offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yehovah.
Numbers 15:8	And when you prepare a bull for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings to Yehovah;
Numbers 15:9	then he shall offer with the bull a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:
Numbers 15:10	and you shall offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yehovah.
Numbers 15:11	Thus it shall be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the kids.
Numbers 15:12	According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to every one according to their number.
Numbers 15:13	All who are home-born shall do these things in this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yehovah.
Numbers 15:14	And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yehovah; as you do, so he shall do.
Numbers 15:15	For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the sojourner be before Yehovah.
Numbers 15:16	One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who sojourns with you.
Numbers 15:17	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:18	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land where I bring you,
Numbers 15:19	then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave-offering to Yehovah.
Numbers 15:20	Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so you shall heave it.
Numbers 15:21	Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.
Numbers 15:22	And when you err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yehovah has spoken to Moses,
Numbers 15:23	even all that Yehovah has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
Numbers 15:24	then it shall be, if it is done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor to Yehovah, with its meal-offering, and its drink-offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin-offering.
Numbers 15:25	And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire to Yehovah, and their sin-offering before Yehovah, for their error:
Numbers 15:26	and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
Numbers 15:27	And if one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin-offering.
Numbers 15:28	And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
Numbers 15:29	You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them.
Numbers 15:30	But the soul that does anything with a high hand, whether he is home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemes Yehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Numbers 15:31	Because he has despised the word of Yehovah, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.
Numbers 15:32	And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.
Numbers 15:33	And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
Numbers 15:34	And they put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
Numbers 15:35	And Yehovah said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
Numbers 15:36	And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Numbers 15:37	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:38	Speak to the children of Israel, and bid them that they make for themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
Numbers 15:39	and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yehovah, and do them; and that you do not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you are accustomed to play the prostitute;
Numbers 15:40	that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
Numbers 15:41	I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yehovah your God.
Numbers 16:1	Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
Numbers 16:2	and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
Numbers 16:3	and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take too much on yourselves, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Yehovah is among them: why then do you lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yehovah?
Numbers 16:4	And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
Numbers 16:5	and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, In the morning Yehovah will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he shall choose he will cause to come near to him.
Numbers 16:6	Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
Numbers 16:7	and put fire in them, and put incense on them before Yehovah tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yehovah chooses, he shall be holy: you take too much on yourselves, you sons of Levi.
Numbers 16:8	And Moses said to Korah, Hear now, you sons of Levi:
Numbers 16:9	does it seem but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Yehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
Numbers 16:10	and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?
Numbers 16:11	Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Yehovah: and Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?
Numbers 16:12	And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up:
Numbers 16:13	is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must make yourself also a prince over us?
Numbers 16:14	Moreover you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Numbers 16:15	And Moses was very angry, and said to Yehovah, Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, nor have I hurt one of them.
Numbers 16:16	And Moses said to Korah, You and all your company be before Yehovah, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
Numbers 16:17	and take every man his censer, and put incense on them, and bring before Yehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.
Numbers 16:18	And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Numbers 16:19	And Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Yehovah appeared to all the congregation.
Numbers 16:20	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Numbers 16:21	Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Numbers 16:22	And they fell on their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?
Numbers 16:23	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:24	Speak to the congregation, saying, Get away from around the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Numbers 16:25	And Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Numbers 16:26	And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Please depart from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.
Numbers 16:27	So they got away from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
Numbers 16:28	And Moses said, By this you shall know that Yehovah has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind.
Numbers 16:29	If these men die the common death of all men, or if they are visited with the visitation of all men; then Yehovah has not sent me.
Numbers 16:30	But if Yehovah makes a new thing, and the ground opens its mouth, and swallows them up, with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised Yehovah.
Numbers 16:31	And it happened, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground that was under them split apart;
Numbers 16:32	and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah, and all their goods.
Numbers 16:33	So they, and all that belonged to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.
Numbers 16:34	And all Israel who were around them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up.
Numbers 16:35	And fire came out from Yehovah, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men who offered the incense.
Numbers 16:36	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:37	Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire far away; for they are holy,
Numbers 16:38	even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
Numbers 16:39	And Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
Numbers 16:40	to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, may come near to burn incense before Yehovah; that he may not be as Korah, and as his company: as Yehovah spoke to him by Moses.
Numbers 16:41	But the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Yehovah.
Numbers 16:42	And it happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yehovah appeared.
Numbers 16:43	And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
Numbers 16:44	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:45	Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.
Numbers 16:46	And Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire in it from the altar, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yehovah; the plague has begun.
Numbers 16:47	And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague had begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
Numbers 16:48	And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stopped.
Numbers 16:49	Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
Numbers 16:50	And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stopped.
Numbers 17:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 17:2	Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods: write every man’s name on his rod.
Numbers 17:3	And you shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses.
Numbers 17:4	And you shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.
Numbers 17:5	And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you, cease from me.
Numbers 17:6	And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
Numbers 17:7	And Moses laid up the rods before Yehovah in the tent of the testimony.
Numbers 17:8	And it happened the next day, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and put out buds, and produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds.
Numbers 17:9	And Moses brought out all the rods from before Yehovah to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Numbers 17:10	And Yehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that you may put an end to their murmurings against me, that they may not die.
Numbers 17:11	Thus Moses did: as Yehovah commanded him, so he did.
Numbers 17:12	And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
Numbers 17:13	Everyone who comes near, that comes near to the tabernacle of Yehovah, dies: shall we all perish?
Numbers 18:1	And Yehovah said to Aaron, You and your sons and your fathers’ house with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Numbers 18:2	And your brothers also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, bring near with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you shall be before the tent of the testimony.
Numbers 18:3	And they shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they may not die, neither they nor you.
Numbers 18:4	And they shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
Numbers 18:5	And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there may be no more wrath on the children of Israel.
Numbers 18:6	And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
Numbers 18:7	And you and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and you shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Numbers 18:8	And Yehovah spoke to Aaron, And I, behold, I have given you the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; to you I have given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, as a portion for ever.
Numbers 18:9	This shall be yours of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render to me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.
Numbers 18:10	As the most holy things you shall eat of it; every male shall eat of it: it shall be holy to you.
Numbers 18:11	And this is yours: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, as a portion for ever; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Numbers 18:12	All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the firstfruits of them which they give to Yehovah, to you I have given them.
Numbers 18:13	The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to Yehovah, shall be yours; everyone who is clean in your house shall eat of it.
Numbers 18:14	Everything devoted in Israel shall be yours.
Numbers 18:15	Everything that opens the womb, of all flesh which they offer to Yehovah, both of man and beast shall be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man you shall surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts you shall redeem.
Numbers 18:16	And those who are to be redeemed of them from a month old you shall redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs).
Numbers 18:17	But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy: you shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and shall burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to Yehovah.
Numbers 18:18	And their flesh shall be yours, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be yours.
Numbers 18:19	All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer to Yehovah, I have given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Yehovah to you and to your seed with you.
Numbers 18:20	And Yehovah said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them: I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
Numbers 18:21	And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.
Numbers 18:22	And from now on the children of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
Numbers 18:23	But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:24	For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering to Yehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:25	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 18:26	Moreover you shall speak to the Levites, and say to them, When you take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Yehovah, a tithe of the tithe.
Numbers 18:27	And your heave-offering shall be reckoned to you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
Numbers 18:28	Thus you also shall offer a heave-offering to Yehovah of all your tithes, which you receive of the children of Israel; and from it you shall give Yehovah’s heave-offering to Aaron the priest.
Numbers 18:29	Out of all your gifts you shall offer every heave-offering of Yehovah, of all its best, even its hallowed part out of it.
Numbers 18:30	Therefore you shall say to them, When you heave its best from it, then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the winepress.
Numbers 18:31	And you shall eat it in every place, you and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.
Numbers 18:32	And you shall bear no sin by reason of it, when you have heaved from it its best: and you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you may not die.
Numbers 19:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Numbers 19:2	This is the statute of the law which Yehovah has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and on which a yoke has never come.
Numbers 19:3	And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her outside the camp, and one shall kill her before his face:
Numbers 19:4	and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times.
Numbers 19:5	And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, he shall burn:
Numbers 19:6	and the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Numbers 19:7	Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until evening.
Numbers 19:8	And he who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
Numbers 19:9	And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin-offering.
Numbers 19:10	And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, for a statute for ever.
Numbers 19:11	He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:
Numbers 19:12	the same shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he does not purify himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he shall not be clean.
Numbers 19:13	Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of Yehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.
Numbers 19:14	This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:15	And every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.
Numbers 19:16	And whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:17	And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and running water shall be put to it in a vessel:
Numbers 19:18	and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:
Numbers 19:19	and the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
Numbers 19:20	But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Yehovah: the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.
Numbers 19:21	And it shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.
Numbers 19:22	And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening.
Numbers 20:1	And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Numbers 20:2	And there was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Numbers 20:3	And the people strove with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before Yehovah!
Numbers 20:4	And why have you brought the assembly of Yehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?
Numbers 20:5	And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
Numbers 20:6	And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of Yehovah appeared to them.
Numbers 20:7	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 20:8	Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may give out its water; and you shall bring out water for them from the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their cattle drink.
Numbers 20:9	And Moses took the rod from before Yehovah, as he commanded him.
Numbers 20:10	And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring out water for you from this rock?
Numbers 20:11	And Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.
Numbers 20:12	And Yehovah said to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.
Numbers 20:13	These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yehovah, and he was sanctified in them.
Numbers 20:14	And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israel, You know all the travail that has befallen us:
Numbers 20:15	how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers:
Numbers 20:16	and when we cried to Yehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city at the edge of your border.
Numbers 20:17	Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, nor will we drink of the water of the wells; we will go along the king’s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.
Numbers 20:18	And Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.
Numbers 20:19	And the children of Israel said to him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then I will give its price: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.
Numbers 20:20	And he said, You shall not pass through. And Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
Numbers 20:21	Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: therefore Israel turned away from him.
Numbers 20:22	And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to mount Hor.
Numbers 20:23	And Yehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Numbers 20:24	Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
Numbers 20:25	Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to mount Hor;
Numbers 20:26	and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.
Numbers 20:27	And Moses did as Yehovah commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Numbers 20:28	And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
Numbers 20:29	And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
Numbers 21:1	And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive.
Numbers 21:2	And Israel vowed a vow to Yehovah, and said, If you will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
Numbers 21:3	And Yehovah listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah.
Numbers 21:4	And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Numbers 21:5	And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loathes this worthless bread.
Numbers 21:6	And Yehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Numbers 21:7	And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yehovah, and against you; pray to Yehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Numbers 21:8	And Yehovah said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard: and it shall come to pass, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.
Numbers 21:9	And Moses made a serpent of bronze, and set it on the standard: and it happened, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze, he lived.
Numbers 21:10	And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth.
Numbers 21:11	And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.
Numbers 21:12	From there they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered.
Numbers 21:13	From there they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that comes out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Numbers 21:14	Therefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Yehovah, Vaheb in Suphah, And the valleys of the Arnon,
Numbers 21:15	And the slope of the valleys That inclines toward the dwelling of Ar, And leans on the border of Moab.
Numbers 21:16	And from there they journeyed to Beer: that is the well of which Yehovah said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Numbers 21:17	Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, O well; sing to it:
Numbers 21:18	The well, which the princes dug, Which the nobles of the people delved, With the scepter, and with their poles. And from the wilderness they journeyed to Mattanah;
Numbers 21:19	and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;
Numbers 21:20	and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looks down on the desert.
Numbers 21:21	And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Numbers 21:22	Let me pass through your land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed your border.
Numbers 21:23	And Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel.
Numbers 21:24	And Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, even to the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
Numbers 21:25	And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.
Numbers 21:26	For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even to the Arnon.
Numbers 21:27	Therefore those who speak in proverbs say, Come to Heshbon; Let the city of Sihon be built and established:
Numbers 21:28	For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, A flame from the city of Sihon: It has devoured Ar of Moab, The lords of the high places of the Arnon.
Numbers 21:29	Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh: He has given his sons as fugitives, And his daughters into captivity, To Sihon king of the Amorites.
Numbers 21:30	We have shot at them; Heshbon has perished even to Dibon, And we have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba.
Numbers 21:31	Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Numbers 21:32	And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took its towns, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
Numbers 21:33	And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Numbers 21:34	And Yehovah said to Moses, Do not fear him: for I have delivered him into your hand, and all his people, and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Numbers 21:35	So they struck him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land.
Numbers 22:1	And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.
Numbers 22:2	And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Numbers 22:3	And Moab was greatly afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
Numbers 22:4	And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.
Numbers 22:5	And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, a people has come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they are dwelling opposite me.
Numbers 22:6	Come now therefore, please curse this people for me; for they are too mighty for me: perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.
Numbers 22:7	And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Numbers 22:8	And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yehovah shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Numbers 22:9	And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you?
Numbers 22:10	And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying,
Numbers 22:11	Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt, it covers the face of the earth: now, come curse them for me; perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.
Numbers 22:12	And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people; for they are blessed.
Numbers 22:13	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Go to your land; for Yehovah refuses to give me leave to go with you.
Numbers 22:14	And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.
Numbers 22:15	And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
Numbers 22:16	And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me:
Numbers 22:17	for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do: come therefore, please curse this people for me.
Numbers 22:18	And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Yehovah my God, to do less or more.
Numbers 22:19	Now therefore, please stay here also this night, that I may know what more Yehovah will speak to me.
Numbers 22:20	And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.
Numbers 22:21	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.
Numbers 22:22	And God’s anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Yehovah placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.
Numbers 22:23	And the donkey saw the angel of Yehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the way.
Numbers 22:24	Then the angel of Yehovah stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Numbers 22:25	And the donkey saw the angel of Yehovah, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he struck her again.
Numbers 22:26	And the angel of Yehovah went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Numbers 22:27	And the donkey saw the angel of Yehovah, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
Numbers 22:28	And Yehovah opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?
Numbers 22:29	And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have mocked me: I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.
Numbers 22:30	And the donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? was I ever accustomed to do so to you? And he said, No.
Numbers 22:31	Then Yehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Yehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.
Numbers 22:32	And the angel of Yehovah said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three times? behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me:
Numbers 22:33	and the donkey saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I would even have slain you, and saved her alive.
Numbers 22:34	And Balaam said to the angel of Yehovah, I have sinned; for I did not know that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.
Numbers 22:35	And the angel of Yehovah said to Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Numbers 22:36	And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.
Numbers 22:37	And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? why did you not come to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?
Numbers 22:38	And Balaam said to Balak, Look, I have come to you: have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak.
Numbers 22:39	And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
Numbers 22:40	And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.
Numbers 22:41	And it happened in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there the utmost part of the people.
Numbers 23:1	And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
Numbers 23:2	And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bull and a ram.
Numbers 23:3	And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt-offering, and I will go: perhaps Yehovah will come to meet me; and whatever he shows me I will tell you. And he went to a bare height.
Numbers 23:4	And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
Numbers 23:5	And Yehovah put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
Numbers 23:6	And he returned to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Numbers 23:7	And he took up his parable, and said, From Aram Balak has brought me, The king of Moab from the mountains of the East: Come, curse Jacob for me, And come, defy Israel.
Numbers 23:8	How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? And how shall I defy, whom Yehovah has not defied?
Numbers 23:9	For from the top of the rocks I see him, And from the hills I behold him: Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, And shall not be reckoned among the nations.
Numbers 23:10	Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, And let my last end be like his!
Numbers 23:11	And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have blessed them altogether.
Numbers 23:12	And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Yehovah puts in my mouth?
Numbers 23:13	And Balak said to him, Please come with me to another place, from where you may see them; you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse them for me from there.
Numbers 23:14	And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
Numbers 23:15	And he said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt-offering, while I meet Yehovah over there.
Numbers 23:16	And Yehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.
Numbers 23:17	And he came to him, and, behold, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has Yehovah spoken?
Numbers 23:18	And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Listen to me, you son of Zippor:
Numbers 23:19	God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
Numbers 23:20	Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
Numbers 23:21	He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob; Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: Yehovah his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.
Numbers 23:22	God brings them out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox.
Numbers 23:23	Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob; Neither is there any divination with Israel: Now it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God wrought!
Numbers 23:24	Behold, the people rises up as a lioness, And as a lion he lifts himself up: He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.
Numbers 23:25	And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Numbers 23:26	But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell you, saying, All that Yehovah speaks, that I must do?
Numbers 23:27	And Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please God that you may curse them for me from there.
Numbers 23:28	And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks down on the desert.
Numbers 23:29	And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bulls and seven rams.
Numbers 23:30	And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bull and a ram on every altar.
Numbers 24:1	And when Balaam saw that it pleased Yehovah to bless Israel, he did not go, as at other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Numbers 24:2	And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.
Numbers 24:3	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, And the man whose eye was closed says;
Numbers 24:4	He says, who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
Numbers 24:5	How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, Your tabernacles, O Israel!
Numbers 24:6	As valleys they are spread out, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-aloes which Yehovah has planted, As cedar-trees beside the waters.
Numbers 24:7	Water shall flow from his buckets, And his seed shall be in many waters, And his king shall be higher than Agag, And his kingdom shall be exalted.
Numbers 24:8	God brings him out of Egypt; He has as it were the strength of the wild-ox: He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, And shall break their bones in pieces, And strike them through with his arrows.
Numbers 24:9	He couched, he lay down as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be everyone who blesses you, And cursed be everyone who curses you.
Numbers 24:10	And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.
Numbers 24:11	Therefore now flee to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but look, Yehovah has kept you back from honor.
Numbers 24:12	And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not also speak to your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,
Numbers 24:13	If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Yehovah, to do either good or bad of my own mind; what Yehovah speaks, that I will speak?
Numbers 24:14	And now, behold, I am going to my people: come, and I will let you know what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.
Numbers 24:15	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, And the man whose eye was closed says;
Numbers 24:16	He says, who hears the words of God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:
Numbers 24:17	I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: A star shall come out of Jacob, And a scepter shall rise out of Israel, And shall strike through the corners of Moab, And break down all the sons of tumult.

Numbers 27:20	And you shall put some of your honor on him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

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

Numbers 33:9	And they journeyed from Marah, and came to Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and seventy palm-trees; and they encamped there.

Numbers 33:33	And they journeyed from Hor-haggidgad, and encamped in Jotbathah.
Numbers 33:34	And they journeyed from Jotbathah, and encamped in Abronah.
Numbers 33:35	And they journeyed from Abronah, and encamped in Ezion-geber.

Numbers 33:37	And they journeyed from Kadesh, and encamped in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
Numbers 33:38	And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of Yehovah, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.
Numbers 33:39	And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died in mount Hor.
Numbers 33:40	And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

Numbers 33:49	And they encamped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth even to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
Numbers 33:50	And Yehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Numbers 33:51	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Numbers 33:52	then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:
Numbers 33:53	and you shall take possession of the land, and dwell in it; for I have given the land to you to possess it.
Numbers 33:54	And you shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance: wherever the lot falls to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit.
Numbers 33:55	But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land in which you dwell.
Numbers 33:56	And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do to them, so I will do to you.
Numbers 34:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 34:2	Command the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to its borders),
Numbers 34:3	then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;
Numbers 34:4	and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and its goings out shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go out to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;
Numbers 34:5	and the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its goings out shall be at the sea.
Numbers 34:6	And for the western border, you shall have the great sea and its border: this shall be your west border.
Numbers 34:7	And this shall be your north border: from the great sea you shall mark out for yourselves mount Hor;
Numbers 34:8	from mount Hor you shall mark out to the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;
Numbers 34:9	and the border shall go out to Ziphron, and its goings out shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.
Numbers 34:10	And you shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;
Numbers 34:11	and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach to the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;
Numbers 34:12	and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its goings out shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders around.
Numbers 34:13	And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Yehovah has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;
Numbers 34:14	for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:
Numbers 34:15	the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.
Numbers 34:16	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 34:17	These are the names of the men who shall divide the land to you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers 34:18	And you shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance.
Numbers 34:19	And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Numbers 34:20	And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
Numbers 34:21	Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Numbers 34:22	And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli.
Numbers 34:23	Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Numbers 34:24	And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
Numbers 34:25	And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
Numbers 34:26	And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
Numbers 34:27	And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
Numbers 34:28	And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Numbers 34:29	These are those whom Yehovah commanded to divide the inheritance to the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Numbers 35:1	And Yehovah spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
Numbers 35:2	Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and pasturelands for the cities around them you shall give to the Levites.
Numbers 35:3	And the cities they shall have to dwell in; and their pasturelands shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts.
Numbers 35:4	And the pasturelands of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits around.
Numbers 35:5	And you shall measure outside the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the pasturelands of the cities.
Numbers 35:6	And the cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the manslayer to flee to: and besides them you shall give forty-two cities.
Numbers 35:7	All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities; them you shall give with their pasturelands.
Numbers 35:8	And concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites.
Numbers 35:9	And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 35:10	Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Numbers 35:11	then you shall appoint for yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
Numbers 35:12	And the cities shall be to you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die, until he stands before the congregation for judgment.
Numbers 35:13	And the cities which you shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge.
Numbers 35:14	You shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities you shall give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge.
Numbers 35:15	For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, these six cities shall be for refuge; that everyone who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
Numbers 35:16	But if he struck him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:17	And if he struck him with a stone in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:18	Or if he struck him with a weapon of wood in the hand, by which a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:19	The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Numbers 35:20	And if he thrust him out of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,
Numbers 35:21	or in enmity struck him with his hand, so that he died; he who struck him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meets him.
Numbers 35:22	But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled on him anything without lying in wait,
Numbers 35:23	or with any stone, by which a man may die, not seeing him, and cast it on him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, nor sought his harm;
Numbers 35:24	then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;
Numbers 35:25	and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, to which he had fled: and he shall dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.
Numbers 35:26	But if the manslayer at any time goes beyond the border of his city of refuge, where he flees,
Numbers 35:27	and the avenger of blood finds him outside the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,
Numbers 35:28	because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Numbers 35:29	And these things shall be for a statute and ordinance to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Numbers 35:30	Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person so that he dies.
Numbers 35:31	Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, who is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:32	And you shall take no ransom for him who has fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Numbers 35:33	So you shall not pollute the land in which you are: for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him who shed it.
Numbers 35:34	And you shall not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Yehovah, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel.
Numbers 36:1	And the heads of the fathers’ houses of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the children of Israel:
Numbers 36:2	and they said, Yehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Yehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
Numbers 36:3	And if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong: so it will be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
Numbers 36:4	And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall belong: so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Numbers 36:5	And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Yehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks right.
Numbers 36:6	This is the thing which Yehovah commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father they shall be married.
Numbers 36:7	So no inheritance of the children of Israel shall move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Numbers 36:8	And every daughter, who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Numbers 36:9	So no inheritance shall move from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one to his own inheritance.
Numbers 36:10	Even as Yehovah commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did:
Numbers 36:11	for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their father’s brothers’ sons.
Numbers 36:12	They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Numbers 36:13	These are the commandments and the ordinances which Yehovah commanded by Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
Deuteronomy 1:1	These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Deuteronomy 1:2	It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
Deuteronomy 1:3	And it happened in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that Yehovah had given him in commandment to them;
Deuteronomy 1:4	after he had struck Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
Deuteronomy 1:5	Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,
Deuteronomy 1:6	Yehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have dwelt long enough in this mountain:
Deuteronomy 1:7	turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all the places near to it, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Deuteronomy 1:8	Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
Deuteronomy 1:9	And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Deuteronomy 1:10	Yehovah your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy 1:11	Yehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
Deuteronomy 1:12	How can I myself alone bear your weight, and your burden, and your strife?
Deuteronomy 1:13	Take wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
Deuteronomy 1:14	And you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.
Deuteronomy 1:15	So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
Deuteronomy 1:16	And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner who is with him.
Deuteronomy 1:17	You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.
Deuteronomy 1:18	And I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
Deuteronomy 1:19	And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Deuteronomy 1:20	And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yehovah our God gives to us.
Deuteronomy 1:21	Behold, Yehovah your God has set the land before you: go up, take possession, as Yehovah, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be dismayed.
Deuteronomy 1:22	And you came near to me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
Deuteronomy 1:23	And the thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
Deuteronomy 1:24	and they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Deuteronomy 1:25	And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yehovah our God gives to us.
Deuteronomy 1:26	Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah your God:
Deuteronomy 1:27	and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Yehovah hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deuteronomy 1:28	Where are we going up? our brothers have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Deuteronomy 1:29	Then I said to you, Do not dread, nor be afraid of them.
Deuteronomy 1:30	Yehovah your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
Deuteronomy 1:31	and in the wilderness, where you have seen how Yehovah your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.
Deuteronomy 1:32	Yet in this thing you did not believe Yehovah your God,
Deuteronomy 1:33	who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
Deuteronomy 1:34	And Yehovah heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
Deuteronomy 1:35	Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I swore to give to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 1:36	except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it; and to him I will give the land that he has trodden upon, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 1:37	Also Yehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in there:
Deuteronomy 1:38	Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there: encourage him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deuteronomy 1:39	Moreover your little ones, who you said would be a prey, and your children, who this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
Deuteronomy 1:40	But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Deuteronomy 1:41	Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Yehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yehovah our God commanded us. And every man of you girded on his weapons of war, and were ready to go up into the hill-country.
Deuteronomy 1:42	And Yehovah said to me, Say to them, Do not go up, nor fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck down before your enemies.
Deuteronomy 1:43	So I spoke to you, and you did not listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.
Deuteronomy 1:44	And the Amorites, who dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
Deuteronomy 1:45	And you returned and wept before Yehovah; but Yehovah did not listen to your voice, nor give ear to you.
Deuteronomy 1:46	So you remained in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained there.
Deuteronomy 2:1	Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Yehovah spoke to me; and we went around mount Seir many days.
Deuteronomy 2:2	And Yehovah spoke to me, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:3	You have gone around this mountain long enough: turn northward.
Deuteronomy 2:4	And command the people, saying, You are to pass through the border of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Take good heed to yourselves therefore;
Deuteronomy 2:5	do not contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Deuteronomy 2:6	You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them for money, that you may drink.
Deuteronomy 2:7	For Yehovah your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Yehovah your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
Deuteronomy 2:8	So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Deuteronomy 2:9	And Yehovah said to me, Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
Deuteronomy 2:10	(The Emim dwelt there formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
Deuteronomy 2:11	these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Deuteronomy 2:12	The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Yehovah gave to them).
Deuteronomy 2:13	Now rise up, and go over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
Deuteronomy 2:14	And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we had come over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Yehovah swore to them.
Deuteronomy 2:15	Moreover the hand of Yehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Deuteronomy 2:16	So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Deuteronomy 2:17	that Yehovah spoke to me, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:18	You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
Deuteronomy 2:19	and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, do not harass them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
Deuteronomy 2:20	(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt there formerly; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
Deuteronomy 2:21	a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Yehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their place;
Deuteronomy 2:22	as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their place even to this day.
Deuteronomy 2:23	And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their place.)
Deuteronomy 2:24	Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
Deuteronomy 2:25	This day I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.
Deuteronomy 2:26	And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:27	Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
Deuteronomy 2:28	You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet;
Deuteronomy 2:29	as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Yehovah our God gives us.
Deuteronomy 2:30	But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Yehovah your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 2:31	And Yehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
Deuteronomy 2:32	Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
Deuteronomy 2:33	And Yehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
Deuteronomy 2:34	And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:
Deuteronomy 2:35	only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Deuteronomy 2:36	From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Yehovah our God delivered up all before us:
Deuteronomy 2:37	only to the land of the children of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Yehovah our God forbade us.
Deuteronomy 3:1	Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Deuteronomy 3:2	And Yehovah said to me, Do not fear him; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into your hand; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Deuteronomy 3:3	So Yehovah our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we struck him until none was left to him remaining.
Deuteronomy 3:4	And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:5	All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides a great many unwalled towns.
Deuteronomy 3:6	And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.
Deuteronomy 3:7	But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Deuteronomy 3:8	And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to mount Hermon
Deuteronomy 3:9	(which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir);
Deuteronomy 3:10	all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:11	(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, according to the cubit of a man.)
Deuteronomy 3:12	And this land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites:
Deuteronomy 3:13	and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.
Deuteronomy 3:14	Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, to this day.)
Deuteronomy 3:15	And I gave Gilead to Machir.
Deuteronomy 3:16	And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
Deuteronomy 3:17	the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
Deuteronomy 3:18	And I commanded you at that time, saying, Yehovah your God has given you this land to possess it: you shall pass over armed before your brothers the children of Israel, all the men of valor.
Deuteronomy 3:19	But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle (I know that you have many cattle), shall remain in your cities which I have given you,
Deuteronomy 3:20	until Yehovah gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Yehovah your God gives them beyond the Jordan: then you shall return every man to his possession, which I have given you.
Deuteronomy 3:21	And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all that Yehovah your God has done to these two kings: so shall Yehovah do to all the kingdoms where you are going over.
Deuteronomy 3:22	You shall not fear them; for Yehovah your God, it is he who fights for you.
Deuteronomy 3:23	And I pleaded with Yehovah at that time, saying,
Deuteronomy 3:24	O Lord Yehovah, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, who can do according to your works, and according to your mighty acts?
Deuteronomy 3:25	Please let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Deuteronomy 3:26	But Yehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and did not listen to me; and Yehovah said to me, Let it suffice you; speak no more to me of this matter.
Deuteronomy 3:27	Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with your eyes: for you shall not go over this Jordan.
Deuteronomy 3:28	But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.
Deuteronomy 3:29	So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Deuteronomy 4:1	And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yehovah, the God of your fathers, gives you.
Deuteronomy 4:2	You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yehovah your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy 4:3	Your eyes have seen what Yehovah did because of Baal-peor; for all the men who followed Baal-peor, Yehovah your God has destroyed them from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 4:4	But you who held fast to Yehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
Deuteronomy 4:5	Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Yehovah my God commanded me, that you should do so in the midst of the land where you are going in to possess it.
Deuteronomy 4:6	Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Deuteronomy 4:7	For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yehovah our God is whenever we call upon him?
Deuteronomy 4:8	And what great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Deuteronomy 4:9	Only take heed to yourself, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children;
Deuteronomy 4:10	the day that you stood before Yehovah your God in Horeb, when Yehovah said to me, Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
Deuteronomy 4:11	And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
Deuteronomy 4:12	And Yehovah spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of words, but you saw no form; only you heard a voice.
Deuteronomy 4:13	And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Deuteronomy 4:14	And Yehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that you might do them in the land where you are going over to possess it.
Deuteronomy 4:15	Take therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of form on the day that Yehovah spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
Deuteronomy 4:16	lest you corrupt yourselves, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Deuteronomy 4:17	the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the heavens,
Deuteronomy 4:18	the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;
Deuteronomy 4:19	and lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them, and serve them, which Yehovah your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.
Deuteronomy 4:20	But Yehovah has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 4:21	Furthermore Yehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land, which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance:
Deuteronomy 4:22	but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but you shall go over, and possess that good land.
Deuteronomy 4:23	Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of Yehovah your God, which he made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything which Yehovah your God has forbidden you.
Deuteronomy 4:24	For Yehovah your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4:25	When you shall beget children, and children’s children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Yehovah your God, to provoke him to anger;
Deuteronomy 4:26	I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land to which you are going over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
Deuteronomy 4:27	And Yehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yehovah shall lead you away.
Deuteronomy 4:28	And there you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Deuteronomy 4:29	But from there you shall seek Yehovah your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:30	When you are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you shall return to Yehovah your God, and listen to his voice:
Deuteronomy 4:31	for Yehovah your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
Deuteronomy 4:32	For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven to the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
Deuteronomy 4:33	Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?
Deuteronomy 4:34	Or has God attempted to go and take for himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Yehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Deuteronomy 4:35	To you it was shown, that you might know that Yehovah he is God; there is none else besides him.
Deuteronomy 4:36	Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you: and upon earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire.
Deuteronomy 4:37	And because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought you out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;
Deuteronomy 4:38	to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 4:39	Know therefore this day, and lay it to your heart, that Yehovah he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else.
Deuteronomy 4:40	And you shall keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command you this day, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yehovah your God gives you, for ever.
Deuteronomy 4:41	Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Deuteronomy 4:42	that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, and did not hate him in time past; and that fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
Deuteronomy 4:43	namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites.
Deuteronomy 4:44	And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Deuteronomy 4:45	these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
Deuteronomy 4:46	beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck, when they came out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 4:47	And they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;
Deuteronomy 4:48	from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even to mount Sion (the same is Hermon),
Deuteronomy 4:49	and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy 5:1	And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.
Deuteronomy 5:2	Yehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Deuteronomy 5:3	Yehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Deuteronomy 5:4	Yehovah spoke with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire
Deuteronomy 5:5	(I stood between Yehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Yehovah: for you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up into the mount), saying,
Deuteronomy 5:6	I am Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy 5:7	You shall have no other gods before me.
Deuteronomy 5:8	You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Deuteronomy 5:9	you shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I, Yehovah, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me;
Deuteronomy 5:10	and showing lovingkindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Deuteronomy 5:11	You shall not take the name of Yehovah your God in vain: for Yehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Deuteronomy 5:12	Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yehovah your God commanded you.
Deuteronomy 5:13	Six days you shall labor, and do all your work;
Deuteronomy 5:14	but the seventh day is a sabbath to Yehovah your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest as well as you.
Deuteronomy 5:15	And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yehovah your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Yehovah your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.
Deuteronomy 5:16	Honor your father and your mother, as Yehovah your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which Yehovah your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 5:17	You shall not kill.
Deuteronomy 5:18	Neither shall you commit adultery.
Deuteronomy 5:19	Neither shall you steal.
Deuteronomy 5:20	Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 5:21	Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife; neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
Deuteronomy 5:22	These words Yehovah spoke to all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them to me.
Deuteronomy 5:23	And it happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deuteronomy 5:24	and you said, Behold, Yehovah our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
Deuteronomy 5:25	Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yehovah our God any more, then we shall die.
Deuteronomy 5:26	For who is there of all flesh, who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Deuteronomy 5:27	Go near, and hear all that Yehovah our God shall say: and speak to us all that Yehovah our God shall speak to you; and we will hear it, and do it.
Deuteronomy 5:28	And Yehovah heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and Yehovah said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have spoken well in all that they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 5:29	Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
Deuteronomy 5:30	Go say to them, Return to your tents.
Deuteronomy 5:31	But as for you, stand here by me, and I will speak to you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
Deuteronomy 5:32	You shall observe to do therefore as Yehovah your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Deuteronomy 5:33	You shall walk in all the way which Yehovah your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
Deuteronomy 6:1	Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yehovah your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you are going over to possess it;
Deuteronomy 6:2	that you might fear Yehovah your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.
Deuteronomy 6:3	Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as Yehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy 6:4	Hear, O Israel: Yehovah our God, Yehovah is one:
Deuteronomy 6:5	and you shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
Deuteronomy 6:6	And these words, which I command you this day, shall be upon your heart;
Deuteronomy 6:7	and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 6:8	And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
Deuteronomy 6:9	And you shall write them upon the door-posts of your house, and upon your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:10	And it shall be, when Yehovah your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,
Deuteronomy 6:11	and houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, and cisterns hewn out, which you did not hew, vineyards and olive-trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat and be full;
Deuteronomy 6:12	then beware lest you forget Yehovah, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy 6:13	You shall fear Yehovah your God; and him you shall serve, and shall swear by his name.
Deuteronomy 6:14	You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are around you;
Deuteronomy 6:15	for Yehovah your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of Yehovah your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 6:16	You shall not tempt Yehovah your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
Deuteronomy 6:17	You shall diligently keep the commandments of Yehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.
Deuteronomy 6:18	And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of Yehovah; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which Yehovah swore to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 6:19	to thrust out all your enemies from before you, as Yehovah has spoken.
Deuteronomy 6:20	When your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is the meaning of the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Yehovah our God has commanded you?
Deuteronomy 6:21	then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt: and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
Deuteronomy 6:22	and Yehovah showed signs and wonders, great and severe, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;
Deuteronomy 6:23	and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
Deuteronomy 6:24	And Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 6:25	And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Yehovah our God, as he has commanded us.
Deuteronomy 7:1	When Yehovah your God shall bring you into the land where you are going to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;
Deuteronomy 7:2	and when Yehovah your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;
Deuteronomy 7:3	neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
Deuteronomy 7:4	For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so the anger of Yehovah will be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly.
Deuteronomy 7:5	But thus you shall deal with them: you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.
Deuteronomy 7:6	For you are a holy people to Yehovah your God: Yehovah your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:7	Yehovah did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:
Deuteronomy 7:8	but because Yehovah loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yehovah has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 7:9	Know therefore that Yehovah your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
Deuteronomy 7:10	and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.
Deuteronomy 7:11	You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.
Deuteronomy 7:12	And it shall come to pass, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which he swore to your fathers:
Deuteronomy 7:13	and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
Deuteronomy 7:14	You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Deuteronomy 7:15	And Yehovah will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put upon you, but will lay them upon all those who hate you.
Deuteronomy 7:16	And you shall consume all the peoples that Yehovah your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
Deuteronomy 7:17	If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
Deuteronomy 7:18	you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yehovah your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Deuteronomy 7:19	the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yehovah your God brought you out: so shall Yehovah your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
Deuteronomy 7:20	Moreover Yehovah your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
Deuteronomy 7:21	You shall not be terrified of them; for Yehovah your God is in the midst of you, a great and terrible God.
Deuteronomy 7:22	And Yehovah your God will cast out those nations before you little by little: you may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon you.
Deuteronomy 7:23	But Yehovah your God will deliver them up before you, and will throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
Deuteronomy 7:24	And he will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under heaven: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
Deuteronomy 7:25	The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire: you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 7:26	And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it: you shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Deuteronomy 8:1	All the commandment which I command you this day you shall observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yehovah swore to your fathers.
Deuteronomy 8:2	And you shall remember all the way which Yehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not.
Deuteronomy 8:3	And he humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yehovah does man live.
Deuteronomy 8:4	Your clothing did not wear out upon you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
Deuteronomy 8:5	And you shall consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so Yehovah your God chastens you.
Deuteronomy 8:6	And you shall keep the commandments of Yehovah your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Deuteronomy 8:7	For Yehovah your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing out in valleys and hills;
Deuteronomy 8:8	a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;
Deuteronomy 8:9	a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper.
Deuteronomy 8:10	And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yehovah your God for the good land which he has given you.
Deuteronomy 8:11	Beware lest you forget Yehovah your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
Deuteronomy 8:12	lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt in them;
Deuteronomy 8:13	and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
Deuteronomy 8:14	then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;
Deuteronomy 8:15	who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought out water for you out of the rock of flint;
Deuteronomy 8:16	who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end:
Deuteronomy 8:17	and lest you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
Deuteronomy 8:18	But you shall remember Yehovah your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 8:19	And it shall be, if you shall forget Yehovah your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow down to them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
Deuteronomy 8:20	As the nations that Yehovah makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 9:1	Hear, O Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,
Deuteronomy 9:2	a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard it said, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
Deuteronomy 9:3	Know therefore this day, that Yehovah your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them perish quickly, as Yehovah has spoken to you.
Deuteronomy 9:4	Do not say in your heart, after Yehovah your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yehovah has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yehovah is driving them out from before you.
Deuteronomy 9:5	Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yehovah your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:6	Know therefore, that Yehovah your God is not giving you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiffnecked people.
Deuteronomy 9:7	Remember, do not forget, how you provoked Yehovah your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 9:8	Also in Horeb you provoked Yehovah to wrath, and Yehovah was angry with you to destroy you.
Deuteronomy 9:9	When I had gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yehovah made with you, then I remained in the mount forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.
Deuteronomy 9:10	And Yehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which Yehovah spoke with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Deuteronomy 9:11	And it happened at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yehovah gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
Deuteronomy 9:12	And Yehovah said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten image.
Deuteronomy 9:13	Furthermore Yehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Deuteronomy 9:14	let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.
Deuteronomy 9:15	So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
Deuteronomy 9:16	And I looked, and, behold, you had sinned against Yehovah your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yehovah had commanded you.
Deuteronomy 9:17	And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Deuteronomy 9:18	And I fell down before Yehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Deuteronomy 9:19	For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yehovah was angry against you to destroy you. But Yehovah listened to me that time also.
Deuteronomy 9:20	And Yehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Deuteronomy 9:21	And I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mount.
Deuteronomy 9:22	And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, you provoked Yehovah to wrath.
Deuteronomy 9:23	And when Yehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yehovah your God, and you did not believe him, nor listen to his voice.
Deuteronomy 9:24	You have been rebellious against Yehovah from the day that I knew you.
Deuteronomy 9:25	So I fell down before Yehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yehovah had said he would destroy you.
Deuteronomy 9:26	And I prayed to Yehovah, and said, O Lord Yehovah, do not destroy your people and your inheritance, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deuteronomy 9:27	Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
Deuteronomy 9:28	lest the land from which you brought us out say, Because Yehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
Deuteronomy 9:29	Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.
Deuteronomy 10:1	At that time Yehovah said to me, Hew two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me into the mount, and make an ark of wood.
Deuteronomy 10:2	And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.
Deuteronomy 10:3	So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand.
Deuteronomy 10:4	And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yehovah spoke to you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yehovah gave them to me.
Deuteronomy 10:5	And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yehovah commanded me.
Deuteronomy 10:6	(And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.
Deuteronomy 10:7	From there they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
Deuteronomy 10:8	At that time Yehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, to stand before Yehovah to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
Deuteronomy 10:9	Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yehovah is his inheritance, according as Yehovah your God spoke to him.)
Deuteronomy 10:10	And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yehovah listened to me that time also; Yehovah would not destroy you.
Deuteronomy 10:11	And Yehovah said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Deuteronomy 10:12	And now, Israel, what does Yehovah your God require of you, but to fear Yehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deuteronomy 10:13	to keep the commandments of Yehovah, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?
Deuteronomy 10:14	Behold, to Yehovah your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.
Deuteronomy 10:15	Only Yehovah had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 10:16	Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
Deuteronomy 10:17	For Yehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who does not show partiality, nor take a bribe.
Deuteronomy 10:18	He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner, in giving him food and clothing.
Deuteronomy 10:19	Love therefore the sojourner; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:20	You shall fear Yehovah your God; him you shall serve; and to him you shall hold fast, and by his name you shall swear.
Deuteronomy 10:21	He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.
Deuteronomy 10:22	Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yehovah your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy 11:1	Therefore you shall love Yehovah your God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.
Deuteronomy 11:2	And know this day: for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yehovah your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,
Deuteronomy 11:3	and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;
Deuteronomy 11:4	and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Yehovah has destroyed them to this day;
Deuteronomy 11:5	and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;
Deuteronomy 11:6	and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
Deuteronomy 11:7	but your eyes have seen all the great work of Yehovah which he did.
Deuteronomy 11:8	Therefore you shall keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you are going over to possess it;
Deuteronomy 11:9	and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yehovah swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy 11:10	For the land, where you are going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from where you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs;
Deuteronomy 11:11	but the land, where you are going over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven,
Deuteronomy 11:12	a land which Yehovah your God cares for: the eyes of Yehovah your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.
Deuteronomy 11:13	And it shall come to pass, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deuteronomy 11:14	that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.
Deuteronomy 11:15	And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.
Deuteronomy 11:16	Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and bow down to them;
Deuteronomy 11:17	and the anger of Yehovah be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yehovah gives you.
Deuteronomy 11:18	Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
Deuteronomy 11:19	And you shall teach them to your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Deuteronomy 11:20	And you shall write them upon the door-posts of your house, and upon your gates;
Deuteronomy 11:21	that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yehovah swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
Deuteronomy 11:22	For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Yehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to hold fast to him;
Deuteronomy 11:23	then Yehovah will drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
Deuteronomy 11:24	Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.
Deuteronomy 11:25	No man shall be able to stand before you: Yehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he has spoken to you.
Deuteronomy 11:26	Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:
Deuteronomy 11:27	the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yehovah your God, which I command you this day;
Deuteronomy 11:28	and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:29	And it shall come to pass, when Yehovah your God shall bring you into the land where you are going to possess it, that you shall set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
Deuteronomy 11:30	Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Deuteronomy 11:31	For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yehovah your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.
Deuteronomy 11:32	And you shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
Deuteronomy 12:1	These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 12:2	You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
Deuteronomy 12:3	and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall hew down the graven images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place.
Deuteronomy 12:4	You shall not do so to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 12:5	But to the place which Yehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there you shall come;
Deuteronomy 12:6	and there you shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock:
Deuteronomy 12:7	and there you shall eat before Yehovah your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yehovah your God has blessed you.
Deuteronomy 12:8	You shall not do according to all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;
Deuteronomy 12:9	for you have not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yehovah your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 12:10	But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yehovah your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around, so that you dwell in safety;
Deuteronomy 12:11	then it shall come to pass that to the place which Yehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 12:12	And you shall rejoice before Yehovah your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
Deuteronomy 12:13	Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt-offerings in every place that you see;
Deuteronomy 12:14	but in the place which Yehovah shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt-offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
Deuteronomy 12:15	Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Yehovah your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart.
Deuteronomy 12:16	Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out upon the earth as water.
Deuteronomy 12:17	You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill-offerings, nor the heave-offering of your hand;
Deuteronomy 12:18	but you shall eat them before Yehovah your God in the place which Yehovah your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man-servant, and your maid-servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Yehovah your God in all that you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy 12:19	Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
Deuteronomy 12:20	When Yehovah your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul desires to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, after all the desire of your soul.
Deuteronomy 12:21	If the place which Yehovah your God shall choose, to put his name there, is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yehovah has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
Deuteronomy 12:22	Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
Deuteronomy 12:23	Only be sure that you do not eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
Deuteronomy 12:24	You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out upon the earth as water.
Deuteronomy 12:25	You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 12:26	Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yehovah shall choose;
Deuteronomy 12:27	and you shall offer your burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Yehovah your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Yehovah your God; and you shall eat the flesh.
Deuteronomy 12:28	Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you for ever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 12:29	When Yehovah your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you are going in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land;
Deuteronomy 12:30	take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you; and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deuteronomy 12:31	You shall not do so to Yehovah your God: for every abomination to Yehovah, which he hates, they have done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they burn in the fire to their gods.
Deuteronomy 12:32	Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add to it, nor diminish from it.
Deuteronomy 13:1	If there arises in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:2	and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them;
Deuteronomy 13:3	you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yehovah your God proves you, to know whether you love Yehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 13:4	You shall walk after Yehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and hold fast to him.
Deuteronomy 13:5	And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yehovah your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 13:6	If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers;
Deuteronomy 13:7	of the gods of the peoples that are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth;
Deuteronomy 13:8	you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him:
Deuteronomy 13:9	but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Deuteronomy 13:10	And you shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy 13:11	And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any such wickedness again as this is in the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 13:12	If you shall hear it said concerning one of your cities, which Yehovah your God gives you to dwell there, saying,
Deuteronomy 13:13	Certain worthless men have gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known;
Deuteronomy 13:14	then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such an abomination has been done in the midst of you,
Deuteronomy 13:15	you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
Deuteronomy 13:16	And you shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its spoil, every bit, to Yehovah your God: and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
Deuteronomy 13:17	And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand; that Yehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion upon you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers;
Deuteronomy 13:18	when you shall listen to the voice of Yehovah your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 14:1	You are the children of Yehovah your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Deuteronomy 14:2	For you are a holy people to Yehovah your God, and Yehovah has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 14:3	You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Deuteronomy 14:4	These are the beasts which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Deuteronomy 14:5	the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.
Deuteronomy 14:6	And every beast that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that you may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:7	Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you.
Deuteronomy 14:8	And the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
Deuteronomy 14:9	These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales you may eat;
Deuteronomy 14:10	and whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
Deuteronomy 14:11	Of all clean birds you may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:12	But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,
Deuteronomy 14:13	and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:14	and every raven after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:15	and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:16	the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
Deuteronomy 14:17	and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
Deuteronomy 14:18	and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Deuteronomy 14:19	And all winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
Deuteronomy 14:20	Of all clean birds you may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:21	You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the sojourner who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Yehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
Deuteronomy 14:22	You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out from the field year by year.
Deuteronomy 14:23	And you shall eat before Yehovah your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Yehovah your God always.
Deuteronomy 14:24	And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Yehovah your God shall choose, to set his name there, when Yehovah your God shall bless you;
Deuteronomy 14:25	then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which Yehovah your God shall choose:
Deuteronomy 14:26	and you shall spend the money for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before Yehovah your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
Deuteronomy 14:27	And the Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
Deuteronomy 14:28	At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:
Deuteronomy 14:29	and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
Deuteronomy 15:1	At the end of every seven years you shall make a release.
Deuteronomy 15:2	And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Yehovah’s release has been proclaimed.
Deuteronomy 15:3	Of a foreigner you may exact it: but whatever of yours is with your brother your hand shall release.
Deuteronomy 15:4	However, there shall be no poor with you (for Yehovah will surely bless you in the land which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it),
Deuteronomy 15:5	if only you diligently listen to the voice of Yehovah your God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command you this day.
Deuteronomy 15:6	For Yehovah your God will bless you, as he promised you: and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.
Deuteronomy 15:7	If there is with you a poor man, one of your brothers, within any of your gates in your land which Yehovah your God gives you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother;
Deuteronomy 15:8	but you shall surely open your hand to him, and shall surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he lacks.
Deuteronomy 15:9	Beware that there is not a base thought in your heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cries to Yehovah against you, and it is sin to you.
Deuteronomy 15:10	You shall surely give him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him; because for this thing Yehovah your God will bless you in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy 15:11	For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You shall surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.
Deuteronomy 15:12	If your brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you six years; then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
Deuteronomy 15:13	And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty:
Deuteronomy 15:14	you shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, and out of your threshing-floor, and out of your winepress; as Yehovah your God has blessed you you shall give to him.
Deuteronomy 15:15	And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yehovah your God redeemed you: therefore I command you this thing today.
Deuteronomy 15:16	And it shall be, if he says to you, I will not go out from you; because he loves you and your house, because he is well with you;
Deuteronomy 15:17	then you shall take an awl, and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant for ever. And also to your maid-servant you shall do likewise.
Deuteronomy 15:18	It shall not seem hard to you, when you let him go free from you; for at double the wage of a hired worker he has served you six years: and Yehovah your God will bless you in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 15:19	All the firstling males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to Yehovah your God: you shall do no work with the firstling of your herd, nor shear the firstling of your flock.
Deuteronomy 15:20	You shall eat it before Yehovah your God year by year in the place which Yehovah shall choose, you and your household.
Deuteronomy 15:21	And if it has any blemish, as if it is lame or blind, any ill blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 15:22	You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
Deuteronomy 15:23	Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out upon the ground as water.
Deuteronomy 16:1	Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover to Yehovah your God; for in the month of Abib Yehovah your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Deuteronomy 16:2	And you shall sacrifice the passover to Yehovah your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
Deuteronomy 16:3	You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, even the bread of affliction; for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
Deuteronomy 16:4	And there shall be no leaven seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day in the evening, remain all night until the morning.
Deuteronomy 16:5	You may not sacrifice the passover within any of your gates, which Yehovah your God gives you;
Deuteronomy 16:6	but at the place which Yehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 16:7	And you shall roast and eat it in the place which Yehovah your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.
Deuteronomy 16:8	Six days you shall eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yehovah your God; you shall do no work on it.
Deuteronomy 16:9	Seven weeks you shall count for yourself: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
Deuteronomy 16:10	And you shall keep the feast of weeks to Yehovah your God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as Yehovah your God blesses you:
Deuteronomy 16:11	and you shall rejoice before Yehovah your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man-servant, and your maid-servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which Yehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
Deuteronomy 16:12	And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.
Deuteronomy 16:13	You shall keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing-floor and from your winepress:
Deuteronomy 16:14	and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man-servant, and your maid-servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.
Deuteronomy 16:15	Seven days you shall keep a feast to Yehovah your God in the place which Yehovah shall choose; because Yehovah your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
Deuteronomy 16:16	Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yehovah your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Yehovah empty:
Deuteronomy 16:17	every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Yehovah your God which he has given you.
Deuteronomy 16:18	Judges and officers you shall appoint for yourself in all your gates, which Yehovah your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
Deuteronomy 16:19	You shall not wrest justice: you shall not show partiality; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Deuteronomy 16:20	That which is altogether just you shall follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which Yehovah your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 16:21	You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Yehovah your God, which you shall make for yourself.
Deuteronomy 16:22	Neither shall you set up for yourself a pillar; which Yehovah your God hates.
Deuteronomy 17:1	You shall not sacrifice to Yehovah your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a blemish, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 17:2	If there is found in the midst of you, within any of your gates which Yehovah your God gives you, man or woman, who does that which is evil in the sight of Yehovah your God, in transgressing his covenant,
Deuteronomy 17:3	and has gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,
Deuteronomy 17:4	and it is told you, and you have heard of it; then you shall inquire diligently; and, behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such an abomination has been done in Israel,
Deuteronomy 17:5	then you shall bring out that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
Deuteronomy 17:6	At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Deuteronomy 17:7	The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 17:8	If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates; then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yehovah your God shall choose;
Deuteronomy 17:9	and you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days: and you shall inquire; and they shall show you the sentence of judgment.
Deuteronomy 17:10	And you shall do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show you from that place which Yehovah shall choose; and you shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you:
Deuteronomy 17:11	according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Deuteronomy 17:12	And the man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yehovah your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy 17:13	And all the people shall hear, and fear, and not act presumptuously again.
Deuteronomy 17:14	When you have come to the land which Yehovah your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me;
Deuteronomy 17:15	you shall surely set him king over you, whom Yehovah your God shall choose: one from among your brothers you shall set as king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
Deuteronomy 17:16	Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; since Yehovah has said to you, You shall henceforth return no more that way.
Deuteronomy 17:17	Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart may not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Deuteronomy 17:18	And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Deuteronomy 17:19	and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Yehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Deuteronomy 17:20	that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Deuteronomy 18:1	The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Yehovah made by fire, and his inheritance.
Deuteronomy 18:2	And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers: Yehovah is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
Deuteronomy 18:3	And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it is ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach.
Deuteronomy 18:4	The first-fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
Deuteronomy 18:5	For Yehovah your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Yehovah, him and his sons for ever.
Deuteronomy 18:6	And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yehovah shall choose;
Deuteronomy 18:7	then he shall minister in the name of Yehovah his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 18:8	They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes from the sale of his patrimony.
Deuteronomy 18:9	When you have come into the land which Yehovah your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
Deuteronomy 18:10	There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
Deuteronomy 18:11	or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy 18:12	For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yehovah: and because of these abominations Yehovah your God is driving them out from before you.
Deuteronomy 18:13	You shall be perfect with Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 18:14	For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice augury, and to diviners; but as for you, Yehovah your God has not allowed you to do so.
Deuteronomy 18:15	Yehovah your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen;
Deuteronomy 18:16	according to all that you desired of Yehovah your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.
Deuteronomy 18:17	And Yehovah said to me, They have spoken well in that which they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 18:18	I will raise up for them a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Deuteronomy 18:19	And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Deuteronomy 18:20	But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.
Deuteronomy 18:21	And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which Yehovah has not spoken?
Deuteronomy 18:22	when a prophet speaks in the name of Yehovah, if the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Yehovah has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy 19:1	When Yehovah your God shall cut off the nations, whose land Yehovah your God gives you, and you succeed them, and dwell in their cities, and in their houses;
Deuteronomy 19:2	you shall set apart three cities for you in the midst of your land, which Yehovah your God gives you to possess it.
Deuteronomy 19:3	You shall prepare the way, and divide the borders of your land, which Yehovah your God causes you to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee there.
Deuteronomy 19:4	And this is the case of the manslayer, who shall flee there and live: whoever kills his neighbor unintentionally, and did not hate him in time past;
Deuteronomy 19:5	as when a man goes into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand swings a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle, and strikes his neighbor, so that he dies; he shall flee to one of these cities and live:
Deuteronomy 19:6	lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he did not hate him in time past.
Deuteronomy 19:7	Therefore I command you, saying, You shall set apart three cities for you.
Deuteronomy 19:8	And if Yehovah your God enlarges your border, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he promised to give to your fathers;
Deuteronomy 19:9	if you shall keep all this commandment to do it, which I command you this day, to love Yehovah your God, and to walk ever in his ways; then you shall add three more cities for you, besides these three:
Deuteronomy 19:10	that innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of your land, which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, and so blood be upon you.
Deuteronomy 19:11	But if any man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he flees into one of these cities;
Deuteronomy 19:12	then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him from there, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Deuteronomy 19:13	Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Deuteronomy 19:14	You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which those of old time have set, in your inheritance which you shall inherit, in the land that Yehovah your God gives you to possess it.
Deuteronomy 19:15	One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, a matter shall be established.
Deuteronomy 19:16	If an unrighteous witness rises up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,
Deuteronomy 19:17	then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Yehovah, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days;
Deuteronomy 19:18	and the judges shall make diligent inquiry: and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and has testified falsely against his brother;
Deuteronomy 19:19	then you shall do to him, as he had thought to do to his brother: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 19:20	And those who remain shall hear, and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil in the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 19:21	And your eyes shall not pity; life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Deuteronomy 20:1	When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, you shall not be afraid of them; for Yehovah your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 20:2	And it shall be, when you draw near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
Deuteronomy 20:3	and shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, you draw near this day to battle against your enemies: do not let your heart faint; do not fear, nor tremble, nor be terrified of them;
Deuteronomy 20:4	for Yehovah your God is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Deuteronomy 20:5	And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, What man is there who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
Deuteronomy 20:6	And what man is there who has planted a vineyard, and has not used its fruit? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use its fruit.
Deuteronomy 20:7	And what man is there who has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
Deuteronomy 20:8	And the officers shall speak further to the people, and they shall say, What man is there who is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brothers’ heart melt as his heart.
Deuteronomy 20:9	And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they shall appoint captains of hosts at the head of the people.
Deuteronomy 20:10	When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace to it.
Deuteronomy 20:11	And it shall be, if it makes you an answer of peace, and open to you, then it shall be, that all the people who are found in it shall become forced labor for you, and shall serve you.
Deuteronomy 20:12	And if it will make no peace with you, but will make war against you, then you shall besiege it:
Deuteronomy 20:13	and when Yehovah your God delivers it into your hand, you shall strike every male in it with the edge of the sword:
Deuteronomy 20:14	but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all its spoil, you shall take for a prey to yourself; and you shall eat the spoil of your enemies, which Yehovah your God has given you.
Deuteronomy 20:15	Thus you shall do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Deuteronomy 20:16	But of the cities of these peoples, that Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
Deuteronomy 20:17	but you shall utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as Yehovah your God has commanded you;
Deuteronomy 20:18	that they may not teach you to do according to all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 20:19	When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them; for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged by you?
Deuteronomy 20:20	Only the trees of which you know that they are not trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it falls.
Deuteronomy 21:1	If one is found slain in the land which Yehovah your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it is not known who has struck him;
Deuteronomy 21:2	then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:
Deuteronomy 21:3	and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;
Deuteronomy 21:4	and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley.
Deuteronomy 21:5	And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Yehovah your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of Yehovah; and according to their word every controversy and every assault shall be settled.
Deuteronomy 21:6	And all the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
Deuteronomy 21:7	and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
Deuteronomy 21:8	Forgive, O Yehovah, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood to remain in the midst of your people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Deuteronomy 21:9	So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 21:10	When you go out to battle against your enemies, and Yehovah your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,
Deuteronomy 21:11	and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire for her, and would take her to yourself as a wife;
Deuteronomy 21:12	then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
Deuteronomy 21:13	and she shall put the clothing of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
Deuteronomy 21:14	And it shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she wants; but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.
Deuteronomy 21:15	If a man has two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son is hers who was hated;
Deuteronomy 21:16	then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born:
Deuteronomy 21:17	but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his.
Deuteronomy 21:18	If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;
Deuteronomy 21:19	then his father and his mother shall lay hold of him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
Deuteronomy 21:20	and they shall say to the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
Deuteronomy 21:21	And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Deuteronomy 21:22	And if a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree;
Deuteronomy 21:23	his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you may not defile your land which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance.
Deuteronomy 22:1	You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them back to your brother.
Deuteronomy 22:2	And if your brother is not near to you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seeks after it, and you shall restore it to him.
Deuteronomy 22:3	And so you shall do with his donkey; and so you shall do with his garment; and so you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide yourself.
Deuteronomy 22:4	You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.
Deuteronomy 22:5	A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 22:6	If a bird’s nest happens to be before you in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young:
Deuteronomy 22:7	you shall surely let the mother go, but the young you may take to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.
Deuteronomy 22:8	When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you may not bring blood upon your house, if any man falls from there.
Deuteronomy 22:9	You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole yield be forfeited, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.
Deuteronomy 22:10	You shall not plow with an ox and an donkey together.
Deuteronomy 22:11	You shall not wear a mixed fabric, wool and linen together.
Deuteronomy 22:12	You shall make for yourself fringes upon the four corners of your garment, with which you cover yourself.
Deuteronomy 22:13	If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her,
Deuteronomy 22:14	and charges her with shameful things, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity;
Deuteronomy 22:15	then the father of the young woman, and her mother, shall take and bring out the tokens of the young woman’s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;
Deuteronomy 22:16	and the young woman’s father shall say to the elders, I gave my daughter to this man as wife, and he hates her;
Deuteronomy 22:17	and, look, he has charged her with shameful things, saying, I did not find in your daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
Deuteronomy 22:18	And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;
Deuteronomy 22:19	and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:20	But if this thing is true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman;
Deuteronomy 22:21	then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father’s house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 22:22	If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman: so you shall put away the evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy 22:23	If there is a young woman who is a virgin betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her;
Deuteronomy 22:24	then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the young woman, because she did not cry out, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Deuteronomy 22:25	But if the man finds the young woman who is betrothed in the field, and the man forces her, and lies with her; then only the man who lay with her shall die:
Deuteronomy 22:26	but to the young woman you shall do nothing; there is in the young woman no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter;
Deuteronomy 22:27	for he found her in the field, the betrothed young woman cried, and there was none to save her.
Deuteronomy 22:28	If a man finds a young woman who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lays hold of her, and lies with her, and they are found;
Deuteronomy 22:29	then the man who lay with her shall give to the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:30	A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
Deuteronomy 23:1	He who is wounded in the stones, or has his male organ cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Yehovah.

Deuteronomy 23:3	An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Yehovah; even to the tenth generation none belonging to them shall enter into the assembly of Yehovah for ever:
Deuteronomy 23:4	because they did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse you.
Deuteronomy 23:5	Nevertheless Yehovah your God would not listen to Balaam; but Yehovah your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because Yehovah your God loved you.

Deuteronomy 23:7	You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian; because you were a sojourner in his land.

Deuteronomy 23:10	If there is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens to him by night, then he shall go outside the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
Deuteronomy 23:11	but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
Deuteronomy 23:12	You shall have a place also outside the camp, where you shall go out:
Deuteronomy 23:13	and you shall have a paddle among your weapons; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig with it, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you:
Deuteronomy 23:14	for Yehovah your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and turn away from you.
Deuteronomy 23:15	You shall not deliver to his master a servant who has escaped from his master to you:

Deuteronomy 23:17	There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Deuteronomy 23:18	You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Yehovah your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 23:19	You shall not lend upon interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of provisions, interest of anything that is lent upon interest.
Deuteronomy 23:20	To a foreigner you may lend upon interest; but to your brother you shall not lend upon interest, that Yehovah your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you are going in to possess it.
Deuteronomy 23:21	When you shall vow a vow to Yehovah your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for Yehovah your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
Deuteronomy 23:22	But if you shall refrain from vowing, it shall be no sin in you.
Deuteronomy 23:23	That which has gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to Yehovah your God, a freewill-offering, which you have promised with your mouth.

Deuteronomy 24:1	When a man takes a wife, and marries her, then it shall be, if she finds no favor in his eyes, because he has found some indecency in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Deuteronomy 24:2	And when she has departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife.
Deuteronomy 24:3	And if the latter husband hates her, and writes her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;
Deuteronomy 24:4	her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled; for that is abomination before Yehovah: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance.

Deuteronomy 24:14	You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is of your brothers, or of your sojourners who are in your land within your gates:

Deuteronomy 24:16	The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Deuteronomy 24:17	You shall not pervert the justice due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow’s clothing in pledge;
Deuteronomy 24:18	but you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and Yehovah your God redeemed you from there: therefore I command you to do this thing.
Deuteronomy 24:19	When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Yehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Deuteronomy 25:13	You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a great and a small.
Deuteronomy 25:14	You shall not have in your house differing measures, a great and a small.
Deuteronomy 25:15	A perfect and just weight you shall have; a perfect and just measure you shall have: that your days may be long in the land which Yehovah your God gives you.

Deuteronomy 25:18	how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who were feeble behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.
Deuteronomy 25:19	Therefore it shall be, when Yehovah your God has given you rest from all your enemies around, in the land which Yehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget.

Deuteronomy 26:7	and we cried to Yehovah, the God of our fathers, and Yehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;
Deuteronomy 26:8	and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;
Deuteronomy 26:9	and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Deuteronomy 26:13	And you shall say before Yehovah your God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
Deuteronomy 26:14	I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while unclean, nor given any of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of Yehovah my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Deuteronomy 26:15	Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy 26:16	This day Yehovah your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 26:17	You have declared Yehovah this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice:
Deuteronomy 26:18	and Yehovah has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;
Deuteronomy 26:19	and to make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that you may be a holy people to Yehovah your God, as he has spoken.

Deuteronomy 27:3	and you shall write upon them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which Yehovah your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

Deuteronomy 28:14	and shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Deuteronomy 28:46	and they shall be upon you for a sign and for a wonder, and upon your seed for ever.
Deuteronomy 28:47	Because you did not serve Yehovah your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;
Deuteronomy 28:48	therefore you shall serve your enemies whom Yehovah shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he has destroyed you.

Deuteronomy 28:58	If you will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful name, YEHOVAH YOUR GOD;
Deuteronomy 28:59	then Yehovah will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses, and of long continuance.
Deuteronomy 28:60	And he will bring upon you again all the diseases of Egypt, which you were afraid of; and they shall hold fast to you.

Deuteronomy 28:63	And it shall come to pass, that, as Yehovah rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Yehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and you shall be plucked from off the land where you are going in to possess it.
Deuteronomy 28:64	And Yehovah will scatter you among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; and there you shall serve other gods, which you have not known, you nor your fathers, even wood and stone.
Deuteronomy 28:65	And among these nations you shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yehovah will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;
Deuteronomy 28:66	and your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.
Deuteronomy 28:67	In the morning you shall say, Would that it were evening! and at evening you shall say, Would that it were morning! for the fear of your heart which you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
Deuteronomy 28:68	And Yehovah will bring you into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall sell yourselves to your enemies as male slaves and as female slaves, and no man shall buy you.
Deuteronomy 29:1	These are the words of the covenant which Yehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
Deuteronomy 29:2	And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that Yehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
Deuteronomy 29:3	the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders:
Deuteronomy 29:4	but Yehovah has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
Deuteronomy 29:5	And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not worn out upon you, and your sandal has not worn out upon your foot.
Deuteronomy 29:6	You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; that you may know that I am Yehovah your God.
Deuteronomy 29:7	And when you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we struck them:
Deuteronomy 29:8	and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
Deuteronomy 29:9	Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 29:10	You stand this day all of you before Yehovah your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
Deuteronomy 29:11	your little ones, your wives, and your sojourner who is in the midst of your camps, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water;
Deuteronomy 29:12	that you may enter into the covenant of Yehovah your God, and into his oath, which Yehovah your God makes with you this day;
Deuteronomy 29:13	that he may establish you this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to you a God, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy 29:14	Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
Deuteronomy 29:15	but with him who stands here with us this day before Yehovah our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day
Deuteronomy 29:16	(for you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;
Deuteronomy 29:17	and you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
Deuteronomy 29:18	lest there should be among you a man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
Deuteronomy 29:19	and it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.
Deuteronomy 29:20	Yehovah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yehovah and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and Yehovah will blot out his name from under heaven.
Deuteronomy 29:21	And Yehovah will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
Deuteronomy 29:22	And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yehovah has made it sick;
Deuteronomy 29:23	and that its whole land is brimstone, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Deuteronomy 29:24	even all the nations shall say, Why has Yehovah done thus to this land? what does the heat of this great anger mean?
Deuteronomy 29:25	Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
Deuteronomy 29:26	and went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods that they did not know, and that he had not given to them:
Deuteronomy 29:27	therefore the anger of Yehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
Deuteronomy 29:28	and Yehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.
Deuteronomy 29:29	The secret things belong to Yehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 30:1	And it shall come to pass, when all these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Yehovah your God has driven you,
Deuteronomy 30:2	and shall return to Yehovah your God, and shall obey his voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul;
Deuteronomy 30:3	that then Yehovah your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Yehovah your God has scattered you.
Deuteronomy 30:4	If any of your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there Yehovah your God will gather you, and from there he will fetch you:
Deuteronomy 30:5	and Yehovah your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and he will do you good, and multiply you above your fathers.
Deuteronomy 30:6	And Yehovah your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, that you may live.
Deuteronomy 30:7	And Yehovah your God will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
Deuteronomy 30:8	And you shall return and obey the voice of Yehovah, and do all his commandments which I command you this day.
Deuteronomy 30:9	And Yehovah your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground, for good: for Yehovah will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers;
Deuteronomy 30:10	if you shall obey the voice of Yehovah your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 30:11	For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.
Deuteronomy 30:12	It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us hear it, that we may do it?
Deuteronomy 30:13	Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us hear it, that we may do it?
Deuteronomy 30:14	But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.
Deuteronomy 30:15	See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
Deuteronomy 30:16	in that I command you this day to love Yehovah your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yehovah your God may bless you in the land where you are going in to possess it.
Deuteronomy 30:17	But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and bow down to other gods, and serve them;
Deuteronomy 30:18	I declare to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
Deuteronomy 30:19	I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;
Deuteronomy 30:20	to love Yehovah your God, to obey his voice, and to hold fast to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Deuteronomy 31:1	And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:2	And he said to them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no longer go out and come in: and Yehovah has said to me, You shall not go over this Jordan.
Deuteronomy 31:3	Yehovah your God, he will go over before you; he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before you, as Yehovah has spoken.
Deuteronomy 31:4	And Yehovah will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land; whom he destroyed.
Deuteronomy 31:5	And Yehovah will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.
Deuteronomy 31:6	Be strong and of good courage, do not fear, nor be terrified of them: for Yehovah your God, it is he who goes with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:7	And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage: for you shall go with this people into the land which Yehovah has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall cause them to inherit it.
Deuteronomy 31:8	And Yehovah, it is he who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, nor forsake you: do not fear, nor be dismayed.
Deuteronomy 31:9	And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:10	And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
Deuteronomy 31:11	when all Israel has come to appear before Yehovah your God in the place which he shall choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Deuteronomy 31:12	Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and your sojourner who is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yehovah your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;
Deuteronomy 31:13	and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Yehovah your God, as long as you live in the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
Deuteronomy 31:14	And Yehovah said to Moses, Behold, your days approach when you must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tent of meeting.
Deuteronomy 31:15	And Yehovah appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent.
Deuteronomy 31:16	And Yehovah said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange gods of the land, where they are going to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:17	Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come upon them; so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?
Deuteronomy 31:18	And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have done, in that they have turned to other gods.
Deuteronomy 31:19	Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:20	For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then they will turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
Deuteronomy 31:21	And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
Deuteronomy 31:22	So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:23	And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you.
Deuteronomy 31:24	And it happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
Deuteronomy 31:25	that Moses commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, saying,
Deuteronomy 31:26	Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
Deuteronomy 31:27	For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yehovah; and how much more after my death?
Deuteronomy 31:28	Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
Deuteronomy 31:29	For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
Deuteronomy 31:30	And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished.
Deuteronomy 32:1	Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
Deuteronomy 32:2	My doctrine shall drop as the rain; My speech shall distill as the dew, As the small rain upon the tender grass, And as the showers upon the herb.
Deuteronomy 32:3	For I will proclaim the name of Yehovah: Ascribe greatness to our God.
Deuteronomy 32:4	The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are justice: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he.
Deuteronomy 32:5	They have dealt corruptly with him, they are not his children, it is their blemish; They are a perverse and crooked generation.
Deuteronomy 32:6	Do you thus repay Yehovah, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.
Deuteronomy 32:7	Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask your father, and he will show you; Your elders, and they will tell you.
Deuteronomy 32:8	When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:9	For Yehovah’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
Deuteronomy 32:10	He found him in a desert land, And in the waste howling wilderness; He encircled him, he cared for him, He kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy 32:11	As an eagle that stirs up her nest, That flutters over her young, He spread abroad his wings, he took them, He carried them on his pinions.
Deuteronomy 32:12	Yehovah alone led him, And there was no foreign god with him.
Deuteronomy 32:13	He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the increase of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the rock, And oil out of the flinty rock;
Deuteronomy 32:14	Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drank wine.
Deuteronomy 32:15	But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: You have grown fat, you have grown thick, you have become sleek; Then he forsook God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Deuteronomy 32:16	They moved him to jealousy with strange gods; With abominations they provoked him to anger.
Deuteronomy 32:17	They sacrificed to demons, which were no God, To gods that they did not know, To new gods that came up of late, Which your fathers did not dread.
Deuteronomy 32:18	Of the Rock that fathered you you are unmindful, And have forgotten God who gave you birth.
Deuteronomy 32:19	And Yehovah saw it, and abhorred them, Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
Deuteronomy 32:20	And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: For they are a very perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.
Deuteronomy 32:21	They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Deuteronomy 32:22	For a fire is kindled in my anger, And burns to the lowest Sheol, And devours the earth with its increase, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Deuteronomy 32:23	I will heap evils upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them:
Deuteronomy 32:24	They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.
Deuteronomy 32:25	Outside the sword shall bereave, And in the chambers terror; It shall destroy both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
Deuteronomy 32:26	I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
Deuteronomy 32:27	Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Yehovah has not done all this.
Deuteronomy 32:28	For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.
Deuteronomy 32:29	Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!
Deuteronomy 32:30	How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And Yehovah had delivered them up?
Deuteronomy 32:31	For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.
Deuteronomy 32:32	For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter:
Deuteronomy 32:33	Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.
Deuteronomy 32:34	Is not this laid up in store with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
Deuteronomy 32:35	Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
Deuteronomy 32:36	For Yehovah will judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he sees that their power is gone, And there is none remaining, shut up or left at large.
Deuteronomy 32:37	And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;
Deuteronomy 32:38	Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.
Deuteronomy 32:39	See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none who can deliver out of my hand.
Deuteronomy 32:40	For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever,
Deuteronomy 32:41	If I whet my glittering sword, And my hand takes hold of judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, And will recompense those who hate me.
Deuteronomy 32:42	I will make my arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
Deuteronomy 32:43	Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: For he will avenge the blood of his servants, And will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.
Deuteronomy 32:44	And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Deuteronomy 32:45	And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;
Deuteronomy 32:46	and he said to them, Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, even all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 32:47	For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you are going over the Jordan to possess it.
Deuteronomy 32:48	And Yehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,
Deuteronomy 32:49	Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession;
Deuteronomy 32:50	and die in the mount where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
Deuteronomy 32:51	because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not sanctify me in the midst of the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:52	For you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 33:1	And this is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Deuteronomy 33:2	And he said, Yehovah came from Sinai, And rose from Seir to them; He shone forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
Deuteronomy 33:3	Indeed, he loves the people; All his saints are in your hand: And they sat down at your feet; Every one shall receive of your words.
Deuteronomy 33:4	Moses commanded us a law, An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
Deuteronomy 33:5	And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.
Deuteronomy 33:6	Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.
Deuteronomy 33:7	And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Yehovah, the voice of Judah, And bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself; And you shall be a help against his adversaries.
Deuteronomy 33:8	And of Levi he said, Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, Whom you tested at Massah, With whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;
Deuteronomy 33:9	Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, And keep your covenant.
Deuteronomy 33:10	They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, And Israel your law: They shall put incense before you, And whole burnt-offering upon your altar.
Deuteronomy 33:11	Bless, Yehovah, his substance, And accept the work of his hands: Strike through the loins of those who rise up against him, And of those who hate him, that they may not rise again.
Deuteronomy 33:12	Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Yehovah shall dwell in safety by him; He covers him all the day long, And he dwells between his shoulders.
Deuteronomy 33:13	And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yehovah be his land, For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, And for the deep that crouches beneath,
Deuteronomy 33:14	And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
Deuteronomy 33:15	And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
Deuteronomy 33:16	And for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, And the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, And upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Deuteronomy 33:17	The firstling of his herd, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox: With them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth: And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Deuteronomy 33:18	And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; And, Issachar, in your tents.
Deuteronomy 33:19	They shall call the peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: For they shall suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand.
Deuteronomy 33:20	And of Gad he said, Blessed be he who enlarges Gad: He dwells as a lioness, And tears the arm, indeed, the crown of the head.
Deuteronomy 33:21	And he provided the first part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; And he came with the heads of the people; He executed the righteousness of Yehovah, And his ordinances with Israel.
Deuteronomy 33:22	And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp, That leaps forth from Bashan.
Deuteronomy 33:23	And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full with the blessing of Yehovah, Possess the west and the south.
Deuteronomy 33:24	And of Asher he said, Blessed be Asher with children; Let him be acceptable to his brothers, And let him dip his foot in oil.
Deuteronomy 33:25	Your bars shall be iron and bronze; And as your days, so shall your strength be.
Deuteronomy 33:26	There is none like God, O Jeshurun, Who rides upon the heavens for your help, And in his excellency on the skies.
Deuteronomy 33:27	The eternal God is your dwelling-place, And underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before you, And said, Destroy.
Deuteronomy 33:28	And Israel dwells in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; Indeed, his heavens drop down dew.
Deuteronomy 33:29	Happy are you, O Israel: Who is like you, a people saved by Yehovah, The shield of your help, And the sword of your excellency! And your enemies shall submit themselves to you; And you shall tread upon their high places.
Deuteronomy 34:1	And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. And Yehovah showed him all the land of Gilead, to Dan,
Deuteronomy 34:2	and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the western sea,
Deuteronomy 34:3	and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm-trees, to Zoar.
Deuteronomy 34:4	And Yehovah said to him, This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.
Deuteronomy 34:5	So Moses the servant of Yehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Yehovah.
Deuteronomy 34:6	And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man knows of his sepulchre to this day.
Deuteronomy 34:7	And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deuteronomy 34:8	And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.
Deuteronomy 34:9	And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel listened to him, and did as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:10	And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom Yehovah knew face to face,
Deuteronomy 34:11	in all the signs and the wonders, which Yehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
Deuteronomy 34:12	and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses worked in the sight of all Israel.
Joshua 1:1	Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yehovah, that Yehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
Joshua 1:2	Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, even to the children of Israel.
Joshua 1:3	Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, I have given it to you, as I spoke to Moses.
Joshua 1:4	From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
Joshua 1:5	No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:6	Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Joshua 1:7	Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
Joshua 1:8	This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
Joshua 1:9	Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be frightened, nor be dismayed: for Yehovah your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:10	Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Joshua 1:11	Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions for yourselves; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Yehovah your God gives you to possess it.
Joshua 1:12	And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua spoke, saying,
Joshua 1:13	Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yehovah commanded you, saying, Yehovah your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
Joshua 1:14	Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;
Joshua 1:15	until Yehovah has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they also have possessed the land which Yehovah your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.
Joshua 1:16	And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
Joshua 1:17	Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so we will listen to you: only may Yehovah your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
Joshua 1:18	Whoever he is who rebels against your commandment, and does not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.
Joshua 2:1	And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
Joshua 2:2	And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to search out the land.
Joshua 2:3	And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to search out all the land.
Joshua 2:4	And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from:
Joshua 2:5	and it happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; where the men went I do not know: pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them.
Joshua 2:6	But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
Joshua 2:7	And the men pursued them on the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Joshua 2:8	And before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof;
Joshua 2:9	and she said to the men, I know that Yehovah has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
Joshua 2:10	For we have heard how Yehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
Joshua 2:11	And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, nor did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Joshua 2:12	Now therefore, please swear to me by Yehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token;
Joshua 2:13	and that you will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.
Joshua 2:14	And the men said to her, Our life for yours, if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall be, when Yehovah gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.
Joshua 2:15	Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was on the side of the wall, and she dwelt on the wall.
Joshua 2:16	And she said to them, Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers come upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward you may go your way.
Joshua 2:17	And the men said to her, We will be guiltless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear.
Joshua 2:18	Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you let us down by: and you shall gather to yourself into the house your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father’s household.
Joshua 2:19	And it shall be, that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is laid on him.
Joshua 2:20	But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us swear.
Joshua 2:21	And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Joshua 2:22	And they went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.
Joshua 2:23	Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had happened to them.
Joshua 2:24	And they said to Joshua, Truly Yehovah has delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us.
Joshua 3:1	And Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they set out from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
Joshua 3:2	And it happened after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
Joshua 3:3	and they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of Yehovah your God, and the priests the Levites carrying it, then you shall set out from your place, and go after it.
Joshua 3:4	Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: do not come near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before.
Joshua 3:5	And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yehovah will do wonders among you.
Joshua 3:6	And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Joshua 3:7	And Yehovah said to Joshua, This day I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
Joshua 3:8	And you shall command the priests who carry the ark of the covenant, saying, When you have come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.
Joshua 3:9	And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of Yehovah your God.
Joshua 3:10	And Joshua said, By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
Joshua 3:11	Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.
Joshua 3:12	Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
Joshua 3:13	And it shall happen, when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of Yehovah, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.
Joshua 3:14	And it happened, when the people set out from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests who carried the ark of the covenant being before the people;
Joshua 3:15	and when those who carried the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who carried the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),
Joshua 3:16	that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were completely cut off: and the people passed over opposite Jericho.
Joshua 3:17	And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of Yehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
Joshua 4:1	And it happened, when all the nation had completely passed over the Jordan, that Yehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:2	Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
Joshua 4:3	and command them, saying, Take from here out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging place, where you shall lodge this night.
Joshua 4:4	Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
Joshua 4:5	and Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of Yehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Joshua 4:6	that this may be a sign among you, that, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What do you mean by these stones?
Joshua 4:7	then you shall say to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yehovah; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.
Joshua 4:8	And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Yehovah spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Joshua 4:9	And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there to this day.
Joshua 4:10	For the priests who carried the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Yehovah commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hurried and passed over.
Joshua 4:11	And it happened, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of Yehovah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
Joshua 4:12	And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them:
Joshua 4:13	about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Yehovah to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:14	On that day Yehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Joshua 4:15	And Yehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:16	Command the priests who carry the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
Joshua 4:17	Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
Joshua 4:18	And it happened, when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of Yehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.
Joshua 4:19	And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
Joshua 4:20	And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Joshua 4:21	And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What do these stones mean?
Joshua 4:22	then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Joshua 4:23	For Yehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until you had passed over, as Yehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
Joshua 4:24	that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Yehovah, that it is mighty; that you may fear Yehovah your God forever.
Joshua 5:1	And it happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how Yehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, nor was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
Joshua 5:2	At that time Yehovah said to Joshua, Make knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Joshua 5:3	And Joshua made himself knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Joshua 5:4	And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Joshua 5:5	For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.
Joshua 5:6	For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not listen to the voice of Yehovah: to whom Yehovah swore that he would not let them see the land which Yehovah swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Joshua 5:7	And their children, whom he raised up in their place, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Joshua 5:8	And it happened, when they had finished circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp, until they were healed.
Joshua 5:9	And Yehovah said to Joshua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.
Joshua 5:10	And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 5:11	And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, on that very day.
Joshua 5:12	And the manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; nor did the children of Israel have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Joshua 5:13	And it happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?
Joshua 5:14	And he said, No; but as prince of the host of Yehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant?
Joshua 5:15	And the prince of Yehovah’s host said to Joshua, Take off your shoe from your foot; for the place on which you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
Joshua 6:1	Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Joshua 6:2	And Yehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valor.
Joshua 6:3	And you shall march around the city, all the men of war, going around the city once. Thus you shall do six days.
Joshua 6:4	And seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Joshua 6:5	And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight ahead.
Joshua 6:6	And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yehovah.
Joshua 6:7	And they said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Yehovah.
Joshua 6:8	And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yehovah followed them.
Joshua 6:9	And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard went after the ark, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
Joshua 6:10	And Joshua commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, nor shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout; then you shall shout.
Joshua 6:11	So he caused the ark of Yehovah to go around the city, circling it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Joshua 6:12	And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yehovah.
Joshua 6:13	And the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rear guard came after the ark of Yehovah, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
Joshua 6:14	And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Joshua 6:15	And it happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times.
Joshua 6:16	And it happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Yehovah has given you the city.
Joshua 6:17	And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yehovah: only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Joshua 6:18	But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
Joshua 6:19	But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy to Yehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Yehovah.
Joshua 6:20	So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets: and it happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.
Joshua 6:21	And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 6:22	And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out the woman from there, and all that she has, as you swore to her.
Joshua 6:23	And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them outside the camp of Israel.
Joshua 6:24	And they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Yehovah.
Joshua 6:25	But Rahab the prostitute, and her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Joshua 6:26	And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yehovah, who rises up and builds this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates.
Joshua 6:27	So Yehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Joshua 7:1	But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted thing: and the anger of Yehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.
Joshua 7:2	And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Joshua 7:3	And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Do not let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai; do not make all the people toil there; for they are few.
Joshua 7:4	So about three thousand men of the people went up there: and they fled before the men of Ai.
Joshua 7:5	And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men; and they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent: and the hearts of the people melted, and became like water.
Joshua 7:6	And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Yehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
Joshua 7:7	And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Yehovah, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
Joshua 7:8	Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
Joshua 7:9	For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what will you do for your great name?
Joshua 7:10	And Yehovah said to Joshua, Get up; why have you fallen thus on your face?
Joshua 7:11	Israel has sinned; yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: yes, they have even taken some of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and also deceived; and they have even put it among their own belongings.
Joshua 7:12	Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become accursed: I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted thing from among you.
Joshua 7:13	Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow: for thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies, until you take away the devoted thing from among you.
Joshua 7:14	In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Yehovah takes shall come near by families; and the family which Yehovah takes shall come near by households; and the household which Yehovah takes shall come near man by man.
Joshua 7:15	And it shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of Yehovah, and because he has committed folly in Israel.
Joshua 7:16	So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
Joshua 7:17	and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
Joshua 7:18	and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Joshua 7:19	And Joshua said to Achan, My son, please give glory to Yehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.
Joshua 7:20	And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against Yehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done:
Joshua 7:21	when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:22	So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:23	And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before Yehovah.
Joshua 7:24	And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
Joshua 7:25	And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Yehovah shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Joshua 7:26	And they raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day; and Yehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day.
Joshua 8:1	And Yehovah said to Joshua, Do not fear, nor be dismayed: take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;
Joshua 8:2	and you shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king: only its spoil, and its cattle, you shall take as plunder for yourselves: set an ambush for the city behind it.
Joshua 8:3	So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.
Joshua 8:4	And he commanded them, saying, Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready:
Joshua 8:5	and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach the city. And it shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;
Joshua 8:6	and they will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They are fleeing before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;
Joshua 8:7	and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Yehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.
Joshua 8:8	And it shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Yehovah you shall do: see, I have commanded you.
Joshua 8:9	And Joshua sent them out; and they went to the ambush, and stayed between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Joshua 8:10	And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Joshua 8:11	And all the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.
Joshua 8:12	And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Joshua 8:13	So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their men in ambush who were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Joshua 8:14	And it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
Joshua 8:15	And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua 8:16	And all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them: and they pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Joshua 8:17	And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, who did not go out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued Israel.
Joshua 8:18	And Yehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
Joshua 8:19	And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hurried and set the city on fire.
Joshua 8:20	And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
Joshua 8:21	And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:22	And the others came out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they struck them down, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Joshua 8:23	And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Joshua 8:24	And it happened, when Israel had finished slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 8:25	And all who fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:26	For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Joshua 8:27	Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as plunder for themselves, according to the word of Yehovah which he commanded Joshua.
Joshua 8:28	So Joshua burned Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
Joshua 8:29	And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a great heap of stones, to this day.
Joshua 8:30	Then Joshua built an altar to Yehovah, the God of Israel, on mount Ebal,
Joshua 8:31	as Moses the servant of Yehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered burnt offerings on it to Yehovah, and sacrificed peace offerings.
Joshua 8:32	And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.
Joshua 8:33	And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, the sojourner as well as the native-born; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Yehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Joshua 8:34	And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Joshua 8:35	There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who were among them.
Joshua 9:1	And it happened, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it;
Joshua 9:2	that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Joshua 9:3	But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Joshua 9:4	they also acted craftily, and went and pretended to be ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins, old and torn and bound up,
Joshua 9:5	and old and patched shoes on their feet, and old garments on them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and had become moldy.
Joshua 9:6	And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: now therefore make a covenant with us.
Joshua 9:7	And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps you dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?
Joshua 9:8	And they said to Joshua, We are your servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are you? and where do you come from?
Joshua 9:9	And they said to him, From a very far country your servants have come because of the name of Yehovah your God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
Joshua 9:10	and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
Joshua 9:11	And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants: and now make a covenant with us.
Joshua 9:12	This bread of ours we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came out to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and has become moldy:
Joshua 9:13	and these wineskins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are torn: and these garments of ours and our shoes have become old because of the very long journey.
Joshua 9:14	And the men took some of their provision, and did not ask counsel at the mouth of Yehovah.
Joshua 9:15	And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them.
Joshua 9:16	And it happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.
Joshua 9:17	And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
Joshua 9:18	And the children of Israel did not strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by Yehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Joshua 9:19	But all the princes said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Yehovah, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
Joshua 9:20	This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.
Joshua 9:21	And the princes said to them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.
Joshua 9:22	And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have you deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when you dwell among us?
Joshua 9:23	Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall never cease to be slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Joshua 9:24	And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told your servants, how Yehovah your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
Joshua 9:25	And now, behold, we are in your hand: as it seems good and right to you to do to us, do it.
Joshua 9:26	And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they did not slay them.
Joshua 9:27	And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Yehovah, to this day, in the place which he should choose.
Joshua 10:1	Now it happened, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king), and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Joshua 10:2	that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Joshua 10:3	Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Joshua 10:4	Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
Joshua 10:5	Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Joshua 10:6	And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not slacken your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.
Joshua 10:7	So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
Joshua 10:8	And Yehovah said to Joshua, Do not fear them: for I have delivered them into your hands; not a man of them shall stand before you.
Joshua 10:9	Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.
Joshua 10:10	And Yehovah threw them into confusion before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and struck them down to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
Joshua 10:11	And it happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Yehovah cast down great stones from heaven on them to Azekah, and they died: there were more who died by the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Joshua 10:12	Then Joshua spoke to Yehovah on the day when Yehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And you, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
Joshua 10:13	And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the midst of heaven, and did not hurry to go down for about a whole day.
Joshua 10:14	And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Yehovah listened to the voice of a man: for Yehovah fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:15	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Joshua 10:16	And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Joshua 10:17	And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Joshua 10:18	And Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them:
Joshua 10:19	but do not stay yourselves; pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard; do not allow them to enter into their cities: for Yehovah your God has delivered them into your hand.
Joshua 10:20	And it happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
Joshua 10:21	that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Joshua 10:22	Then Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings to me from the cave.
Joshua 10:23	And they did so, and brought out those five kings to him from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Joshua 10:24	And it happened, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet on their necks.
Joshua 10:25	And Joshua said to them, Do not fear, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus Yehovah will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.
Joshua 10:26	And afterward Joshua struck them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Joshua 10:27	And it happened at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, to this very day.
Joshua 10:28	And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were in it; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:29	And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Joshua 10:30	and Yehovah delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:31	And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Joshua 10:32	and Yehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Joshua 10:33	Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Joshua 10:34	And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;
Joshua 10:35	and they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10:36	And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it:
Joshua 10:37	and they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that were in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were in it.
Joshua 10:38	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it:
Joshua 10:39	and he took it, and its king, and all its cities; and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were in it; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Joshua 10:40	So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yehovah, the God of Israel, commanded.
Joshua 10:41	And Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
Joshua 10:42	And all these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, because Yehovah, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:43	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Joshua 11:1	And it happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Joshua 11:2	and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
Joshua 11:3	to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
Joshua 11:4	And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people, like the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
Joshua 11:5	And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
Joshua 11:6	And Yehovah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time I will deliver them up all slain before Israel: you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
Joshua 11:7	So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.
Joshua 11:8	And Yehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they struck them, until they left them none remaining.
Joshua 11:9	And Joshua did to them as Yehovah told him: he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
Joshua 11:10	And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms.
Joshua 11:11	And they struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burned Hazor with fire.
Joshua 11:12	And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yehovah commanded.
Joshua 11:13	But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only; that Joshua burned.
Joshua 11:14	And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, nor did they leave any that breathed.
Joshua 11:15	As Yehovah commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua: and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that Yehovah commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:16	So Joshua took all that land, the hill country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel, and its lowland;
Joshua 11:17	from mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and struck them, and put them to death.
Joshua 11:18	Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Joshua 11:19	There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.
Joshua 11:20	For it was from Yehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yehovah commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:21	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 Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
Joshua 11:22	There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
Joshua 11:23	So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yehovah spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
Joshua 12:1	Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel struck down, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward:
Joshua 12:2	Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even to the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;
Joshua 12:3	and the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and to the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:
Joshua 12:4	and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Joshua 12:5	and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
Joshua 12:6	Moses the servant of Yehovah and the children of Israel struck them down: and Moses the servant of Yehovah gave it for a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 12:7	And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck down beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even to mount Halak, that goes up to Seir (and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
Joshua 12:8	in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite):
Joshua 12:9	the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Beth-el, one;
Joshua 12:10	the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
Joshua 12:11	the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
Joshua 12:12	the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
Joshua 12:13	the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
Joshua 12:14	the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
Joshua 12:15	the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
Joshua 12:16	the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Beth-el, one;
Joshua 12:17	the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
Joshua 12:18	the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;
Joshua 12:19	the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
Joshua 12:20	the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
Joshua 12:21	the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
Joshua 12:22	the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;
Joshua 12:23	the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;
Joshua 12:24	the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty-one.
Joshua 13:1	Now Joshua was old and advanced in years; and Yehovah said to him, You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
Joshua 13:2	This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
Joshua 13:3	from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
Joshua 13:4	on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
Joshua 13:5	and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
Joshua 13:6	all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians; them I will drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
Joshua 13:7	Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 13:8	With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Yehovah gave them:
Joshua 13:9	from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
Joshua 13:10	and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;
Joshua 13:11	and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
Joshua 13:12	all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for these Moses struck, and drove them out.
Joshua 13:13	Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.
Joshua 13:14	Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Yehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
Joshua 13:15	And Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.
Joshua 13:16	And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;
Joshua 13:17	Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
Joshua 13:18	and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Joshua 13:19	and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zers-shahar in the mount of the valley,
Joshua 13:20	and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
Joshua 13:21	and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who dwelt in the land.
Joshua 13:22	Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest of their slain.
Joshua 13:23	And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and its border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Joshua 13:24	And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.
Joshua 13:25	And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;
Joshua 13:26	and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
Joshua 13:27	and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its border, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
Joshua 13:28	This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Joshua 13:29	And Moses gave inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
Joshua 13:30	And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities:
Joshua 13:31	and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.
Joshua 13:32	These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
Joshua 13:33	But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Yehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
Joshua 14:1	And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
Joshua 14:2	by the lot of their inheritance, as Yehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
Joshua 14:3	For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
Joshua 14:4	For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for their cattle and for their substance.
Joshua 14:5	As Yehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
Joshua 14:6	Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, You know the thing that Yehovah spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh-barnea.
Joshua 14:7	I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
Joshua 14:8	Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yehovah my God.
Joshua 14:9	And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yehovah my God.
Joshua 14:10	And now, behold, Yehovah has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yehovah spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, look, I am this day eighty-five years old.
Joshua 14:11	I am still as strong this day as I was on the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.
Joshua 14:12	Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yehovah spoke on that day; for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Yehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yehovah spoke.
Joshua 14:13	And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Joshua 14:14	Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly followed Yehovah, the God of Israel.
Joshua 14:15	Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba; this Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
Joshua 15:1	And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.
Joshua 15:2	And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward;
Joshua 15:3	and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned around to Karka;
Joshua 15:4	and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea: this shall be your south border.
Joshua 15:5	And the east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;
Joshua 15:6	and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;
Joshua 15:7	and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and it ended at En-rogel;
Joshua 15:8	and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite southward (that is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the valley of Rephaim northward;
Joshua 15:9	and the border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (that is Kiriath-jearim);
Joshua 15:10	and the border turned around from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim on the north (that is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;
Joshua 15:11	and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.
Joshua 15:12	And the west border was to the great sea, and its coast. This is the border of the children of Judah all around according to their families.
Joshua 15:13	And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, this Arba being the father of Anak (that is Hebron).
Joshua 15:14	And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
Joshua 15:15	And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
Joshua 15:16	And Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Joshua 15:17	And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Joshua 15:18	And it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field: and she got off her donkey; and Caleb said, What do you want?
Joshua 15:19	And she said, Give me a blessing; since you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Joshua 15:20	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
Joshua 15:21	And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
Joshua 15:22	and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
Joshua 15:23	and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
Joshua 15:24	Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
Joshua 15:25	and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (that is Hazor),
Joshua 15:26	Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
Joshua 15:27	and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet,
Joshua 15:28	and Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah,
Joshua 15:29	Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem,
Joshua 15:30	and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
Joshua 15:31	and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
Joshua 15:32	and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty-nine, with their villages.
Joshua 15:33	In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah,
Joshua 15:34	and Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
Joshua 15:35	Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
Joshua 15:36	and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:37	Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad,
Joshua 15:38	and Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,
Joshua 15:39	Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,
Joshua 15:40	and Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Chitlish,
Joshua 15:41	and Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:42	Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
Joshua 15:43	and Iphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
Joshua 15:44	and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:45	Ekron, with its towns and its villages;
Joshua 15:46	from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.
Joshua 15:47	Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and its coast.
Joshua 15:48	And in the hill country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
Joshua 15:49	and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (that is Debir),
Joshua 15:50	and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
Joshua 15:51	and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:52	Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan,
Joshua 15:53	and Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah,
Joshua 15:54	and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (that is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:55	Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah,
Joshua 15:56	and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
Joshua 15:57	Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:58	Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor,
Joshua 15:59	and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:60	Kiriath-baal (that is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:61	In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah,
Joshua 15:62	and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages.
Joshua 15:63	And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
Joshua 16:1	And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Beth-el;
Joshua 16:2	and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
Joshua 16:3	and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Lower Beth-horon, even to Gezer; and it ended at the sea.
Joshua 16:4	And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Joshua 16:5	And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, to Upper Beth-horon;
Joshua 16:6	and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned around eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;
Joshua 16:7	and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
Joshua 16:8	From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
Joshua 16:9	together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Joshua 16:10	And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labor.
Joshua 17:1	And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Joshua 17:2	So the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
Joshua 17:3	But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Joshua 17:4	And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers: therefore according to the commandment of Yehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
Joshua 17:5	And ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
Joshua 17:6	because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
Joshua 17:7	And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
Joshua 17:8	The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
Joshua 17:9	And the border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea:
Joshua 17:10	southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.
Joshua 17:11	And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.
Joshua 17:12	Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.
Joshua 17:13	And it happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Joshua 17:14	And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me only one lot and one portion for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, since until now Yehovah has blessed me?
Joshua 17:15	And Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and clear ground for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.
Joshua 17:16	And the children of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.
Joshua 17:17	And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot only:
Joshua 17:18	but the hill country shall be yours; for though it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and its farthest borders shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
Joshua 18:1	And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them.
Joshua 18:2	And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, who had not yet divided their inheritance.
Joshua 18:3	And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will you be slack to go in to possess the land, which Yehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Joshua 18:4	Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
Joshua 18:5	And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
Joshua 18:6	And you shall describe the land in seven portions, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yehovah our God.
Joshua 18:7	For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Yehovah gave them.
Joshua 18:8	And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged those who went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yehovah in Shiloh.
Joshua 18:9	And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
Joshua 18:10	And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yehovah: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Joshua 18:11	And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Joshua 18:12	And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward; and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
Joshua 18:13	And the border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Lower Beth-horon.
Joshua 18:14	And the border extended from there, and turned around on the west side southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west side.
Joshua 18:15	And the south side was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah;
Joshua 18:16	and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel;
Joshua 18:17	and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;
Joshua 18:18	and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah;
Joshua 18:19	and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border.
Joshua 18:20	And the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its borders all around, according to their families.
Joshua 18:21	Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,

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

Joshua 19:31	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua 19:32	The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

Joshua 19:34	and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise.
Joshua 19:35	And the fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,
Joshua 19:36	and Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
Joshua 19:37	and Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor,

Joshua 19:47	And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
Joshua 19:48	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua 19:49	So they finished distributing the land for inheritance by its borders; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:
Joshua 19:50	according to the commandment of Yehovah they gave him the city which he asked for, even Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt in it.
Joshua 19:51	These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
Joshua 20:1	And Yehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 20:2	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,
Joshua 20:3	that the manslayer who kills any person unintentionally and unknowingly may flee there: and they shall be a refuge for you from the avenger of blood.
Joshua 20:4	And he shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Joshua 20:5	And if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unknowingly, and did not hate him beforehand.
Joshua 20:6	And he shall dwell in that city, until he stands before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest who shall be in those days: then the manslayer shall return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from which he fled.
Joshua 20:7	And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
Joshua 20:8	And beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 20:9	These were the appointed cities for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
Joshua 21:1	Then the heads of fathers’ houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Joshua 21:2	and they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Yehovah commanded by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their pasturelands for our cattle.
Joshua 21:3	And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Yehovah, these cities with their pasturelands.
Joshua 21:4	And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
Joshua 21:5	And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

Joshua 21:7	The children of Merari according to their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.

Joshua 21:9	And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name:
Joshua 21:10	and they were for the children of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for theirs was the first lot.
Joshua 21:11	And they gave them Kiriath-arba, this Arba being the father of Anak (that is Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, with its pasturelands around it.
Joshua 21:12	But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
Joshua 21:13	And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its pasturelands,
Joshua 21:14	and Jattir with its pasturelands, and Eshtemoa with its pasturelands,
Joshua 21:15	and Holon with its pasturelands, and Debir with its pasturelands,

Joshua 21:20	And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the children of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
Joshua 21:21	And they gave them Shechem with its pasturelands in the hill country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with its pasturelands,
Joshua 21:22	and Kibzaim with its pasturelands, and Beth-horon with its pasturelands; four cities.

Joshua 21:26	All the cities of the families of the rest of the children of Kohath were ten with their pasturelands.
Joshua 21:27	And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be-eshterah with its pasturelands; two cities.

Joshua 21:30	And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its pasturelands, Abdon with its pasturelands,

Joshua 21:33	All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their pasturelands.

Joshua 21:37	Kedemoth with its pasturelands, and Mephaath with its pasturelands; four cities.
Joshua 21:38	And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its pasturelands, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its pasturelands,
Joshua 21:39	Heshbon with its pasturelands, Jazer with its pasturelands; four cities in all.
Joshua 21:40	All these were the cities of the children of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.
Joshua 21:41	All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasturelands.
Joshua 21:42	These cities each had their pasturelands around them: thus it was with all these cities.
Joshua 21:43	So Yehovah gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
Joshua 21:44	And Yehovah gave them rest all around, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and not a man of all their enemies stood before them; Yehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Joshua 21:45	Not anything failed of any good thing which Yehovah had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Joshua 22:1	Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua 22:2	and said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yehovah commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you:
Joshua 22:3	you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yehovah your God.
Joshua 22:4	And now Yehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them: therefore now turn, and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
Joshua 22:5	Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yehovah commanded you, to love Yehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cling to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua 22:6	So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
Joshua 22:7	Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half Joshua gave among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
Joshua 22:8	and spoke to them, saying, Return with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with very much clothing: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.
Joshua 22:9	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they possessed, according to the commandment of Yehovah by Moses.
Joshua 22:10	And when they came to the region around the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
Joshua 22:11	And the children of Israel heard it said, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region around the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel.
Joshua 22:12	And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
Joshua 22:13	And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Joshua 22:14	and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were each one of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.
Joshua 22:15	And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
Joshua 22:16	Thus says the whole congregation of Yehovah, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yehovah, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel this day against Yehovah?
Joshua 22:17	Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yehovah,
Joshua 22:18	that you must turn away this day from following Yehovah? and it will be, seeing you rebel today against Yehovah, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
Joshua 22:19	However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yehovah, in which Yehovah’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us: but do not rebel against Yehovah, nor rebel against us, in building yourselves an altar besides the altar of Yehovah our God.
Joshua 22:20	Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.
Joshua 22:21	Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Joshua 22:22	The Mighty One, God, Yehovah, the Mighty One, God, Yehovah, he knows; and Israel he shall know: if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yehovah (do not save us this day),
Joshua 22:23	that we have built ourselves an altar to turn away from following Yehovah; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, let Yehovah himself require it;
Joshua 22:24	and if we have not rather done this out of concern, and on purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with Yehovah, the God of Israel?
Joshua 22:25	for Yehovah has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no portion in Yehovah: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Yehovah.
Joshua 22:26	Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
Joshua 22:27	but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Yehovah before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, You have no portion in Yehovah.
Joshua 22:28	Therefore we said, It shall be, when they say so to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.
Joshua 22:29	Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yehovah, and turn away this day from following Yehovah, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.
Joshua 22:30	And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
Joshua 22:31	And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Yehovah is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yehovah: now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yehovah.
Joshua 22:32	And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Joshua 22:33	And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.
Joshua 22:34	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: For, said they, it is a witness between us that Yehovah is God.
Joshua 23:1	And it happened after many days, when Yehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, and Joshua was old and advanced in years;
Joshua 23:2	that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in years:
Joshua 23:3	and you have seen all that Yehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you; for Yehovah your God, it is he who has fought for you.
Joshua 23:4	Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea toward the going down of the sun.
Joshua 23:5	And Yehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Yehovah your God spoke to you.
Joshua 23:6	Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that you do not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
Joshua 23:7	that you do not come among these nations, these that remain among you; nor make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them, nor serve them, nor bow down to them;
Joshua 23:8	but cling to Yehovah your God, as you have done to this day.
Joshua 23:9	For Yehovah has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
Joshua 23:10	One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Yehovah your God, it is he who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
Joshua 23:11	Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yehovah your God.
Joshua 23:12	Otherwise if you do at all go back, and cling to the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
Joshua 23:13	know for certain that Yehovah your God will no longer drive these nations out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which Yehovah your God has given you.
Joshua 23:14	And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yehovah your God spoke concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one thing of them has failed.
Joshua 23:15	And it shall happen, that as all the good things have come on you of which Yehovah your God spoke to you, so Yehovah will bring on you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from this good land which Yehovah your God has given you.
Joshua 23:16	When you transgress the covenant of Yehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them; then the anger of Yehovah will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from the good land which he has given to you.
Joshua 24:1	And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Joshua 24:2	And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt in former times beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.
Joshua 24:3	And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Joshua 24:4	And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Joshua 24:5	And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to what I did in its midst: and afterward I brought you out.
Joshua 24:6	And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
Joshua 24:7	And when they cried out to Yehovah, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you dwelt in the wilderness many days.
Joshua 24:8	And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and you possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Joshua 24:9	Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel: and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;
Joshua 24:10	but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
Joshua 24:11	And you went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
Joshua 24:12	And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.
Joshua 24:13	And I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.
Joshua 24:14	Now therefore fear Yehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve Yehovah.
Joshua 24:15	And if it seems evil to you to serve Yehovah, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served who were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah.
Joshua 24:16	And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Yehovah, to serve other gods;
Joshua 24:17	for Yehovah our God, it is he who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;
Joshua 24:18	and Yehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve Yehovah; for he is our God.
Joshua 24:19	And Joshua said to the people, You cannot serve Yehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.
Joshua 24:20	If you forsake Yehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good.
Joshua 24:21	And the people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Yehovah.
Joshua 24:22	And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen Yehovah for yourselves, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
Joshua 24:23	Now therefore put away, he said, the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Yehovah, the God of Israel.
Joshua 24:24	And the people said to Joshua, Yehovah our God we will serve, and to his voice we will listen.
Joshua 24:25	So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Joshua 24:26	And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Yehovah.
Joshua 24:27	And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yehovah which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.
Joshua 24:28	So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
Joshua 24:29	And it happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Joshua 24:30	And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Joshua 24:31	And Israel served Yehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Yehovah, that he had done for Israel.
Joshua 24:32	And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Joshua 24:33	And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.
Judges 1:1	And it happened after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel inquired of Yehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
Judges 1:2	And Yehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Judges 1:3	And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot. So Simeon went with him.
Judges 1:4	And Judah went up; and Yehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck down ten thousand men of them in Bezek.
Judges 1:5	And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Judges 1:6	But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Judges 1:7	And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Judges 1:8	And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Judges 1:9	And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Judges 1:10	And Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba); and they struck down Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Judges 1:11	And from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.)
Judges 1:12	And Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Judges 1:13	And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Judges 1:14	And it happened, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she got down from her donkey; and Caleb said to her, What do you want?
Judges 1:15	And she said to him, Give me a blessing; since you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Judges 1:16	And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
Judges 1:17	And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck down the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Judges 1:18	Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Judges 1:19	And Yehovah was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Judges 1:20	And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
Judges 1:21	And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Judges 1:22	And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and Yehovah was with them.
Judges 1:23	And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city formerly was Luz.)
Judges 1:24	And the spies saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.
Judges 1:25	And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
Judges 1:26	And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Judges 1:27	And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Judges 1:28	And it happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Judges 1:29	And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Judges 1:30	Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to forced labor.
Judges 1:31	Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Judges 1:32	but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
Judges 1:33	Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to forced labor.
Judges 1:34	And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Judges 1:35	but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.
Judges 1:36	And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Judges 2:1	And the angel of Yehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:
Judges 2:2	and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars. But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
Judges 2:3	Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
Judges 2:4	And it happened, when the angel of Yehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Judges 2:5	And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to Yehovah.
Judges 2:6	Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
Judges 2:7	And the people served Yehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yehovah that he had done for Israel.
Judges 2:8	And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Judges 2:9	And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Judges 2:10	And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, who did not know Yehovah, nor yet the work which he had done for Israel.
Judges 2:11	And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and served the Baalim;
Judges 2:12	and they forsook Yehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked Yehovah to anger.
Judges 2:13	And they forsook Yehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Judges 2:14	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Judges 2:15	Wherever they went out, the hand of Yehovah was against them for evil, as Yehovah had spoken, and as Yehovah had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
Judges 2:16	And Yehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
Judges 2:17	And yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Yehovah; but they did not do so.
Judges 2:18	And when Yehovah raised them up judges, then Yehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for Yehovah was moved to pity because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and afflicted them.
Judges 2:19	But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they did not cease from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Judges 2:20	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice;
Judges 2:21	I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;
Judges 2:22	that by them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of Yehovah to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.
Judges 2:23	So Yehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; nor did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
Judges 3:1	Now these are the nations which Yehovah left, to test Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Judges 3:2	only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who formerly knew nothing of it:
Judges 3:3	namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
Judges 3:4	And they were left, to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of Yehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
Judges 3:5	And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
Judges 3:6	and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
Judges 3:7	And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and forgot Yehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
Judges 3:8	Therefore the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
Judges 3:9	And when the children of Israel cried to Yehovah, Yehovah raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Judges 3:10	And the Spirit of Yehovah came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
Judges 3:11	And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Judges 3:12	And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah: and Yehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah.
Judges 3:13	And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck down Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.
Judges 3:14	And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Judges 3:15	But when the children of Israel cried to Yehovah, Yehovah raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
Judges 3:16	And Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
Judges 3:17	And he offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
Judges 3:18	And when he had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
Judges 3:19	But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to you, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all who stood by him went out from him.
Judges 3:20	And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to you. And he arose out of his seat.
Judges 3:21	And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:
Judges 3:22	and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.
Judges 3:23	Then Ehud went out into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
Judges 3:24	Now when he had gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.
Judges 3:25	And they stayed till they were ashamed; and, behold, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the earth.
Judges 3:26	And Ehud escaped while they stayed, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
Judges 3:27	And it happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
Judges 3:28	And he said to them, Follow after me; for Yehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
Judges 3:29	And they struck down at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every robust man, and every man of valor; and not a man escaped.
Judges 3:30	So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Judges 3:31	And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel.
Judges 4:1	And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, when Ehud was dead.
Judges 4:2	And Yehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Judges 4:3	And the children of Israel cried to Yehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Judges 4:4	Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Judges 4:5	And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Judges 4:6	And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not Yehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, saying, Go and draw to mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Judges 4:7	And I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.
Judges 4:8	And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.
Judges 4:9	And she said, I will surely go with you: nevertheless, the journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for Yehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Judges 4:10	And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
Judges 4:11	Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Judges 4:12	And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
Judges 4:13	And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
Judges 4:14	And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Yehovah has delivered Sisera into your hand; has not Yehovah gone out before you? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Judges 4:15	And Yehovah routed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Judges 4:16	But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
Judges 4:17	However, Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
Judges 4:18	And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not fear. And he turned in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
Judges 4:19	And he said to her, Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a skin of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Judges 4:20	And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, Is there any man here? that you shall say, No.
Judges 4:21	Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and drove the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
Judges 4:22	And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek. And he came to her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples.
Judges 4:23	So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Judges 4:24	And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Judges 5:1	Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Judges 5:2	Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, Because the people offered themselves willingly, Bless Yehovah.
Judges 5:3	Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing to Yehovah; I will sing praise to Yehovah, the God of Israel.
Judges 5:4	Yehovah, when you went out from Seir, When you marched out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Indeed, the clouds dropped water.
Judges 5:5	The mountains quaked at the presence of Yehovah, Even that Sinai at the presence of Yehovah, the God of Israel.
Judges 5:6	In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travelers walked through byways.
Judges 5:7	The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until I, Deborah, arose, Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Judges 5:8	They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
Judges 5:9	My heart is toward the governors of Israel, Who offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless Yehovah.
Judges 5:10	Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys, You who sit on rich carpets, And you who walk by the way.
Judges 5:11	Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There they shall recount the righteous acts of Yehovah, Even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Yehovah went down to the gates.
Judges 5:12	Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.
Judges 5:13	Then came down a remnant of the nobles and the people; Yehovah came down for me against the mighty.
Judges 5:14	Out of Ephraim came down those whose root is in Amalek; After you, Benjamin, among your peoples; Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun those who handle the marshal’s staff.
Judges 5:15	And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.
Judges 5:16	Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
Judges 5:17	Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan: And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, And stayed by his creeks.
Judges 5:18	Zebulun was a people who risked their lives to the death, And Naphtali, on the high places of the field.
Judges 5:19	The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: They took no gain of money.
Judges 5:20	From heaven fought the stars, From their courses they fought against Sisera.
Judges 5:21	The river Kishon swept them away, That ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
Judges 5:22	Then the horsehoofs stamped By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
Judges 5:23	Curse Meroz, said the angel of Yehovah. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, Because they did not come to the help of Yehovah, To the help of Yehovah against the mighty.
Judges 5:24	Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Judges 5:25	He asked water, and she gave him milk; She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
Judges 5:26	She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; And with the hammer she struck Sisera, she struck through his head; Indeed, she pierced and struck through his temples.
Judges 5:27	At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; At her feet he bowed, he fell: Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Judges 5:28	Through the window she looked out, and cried, The mother of Sisera cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots delay?
Judges 5:29	Her wise ladies answered her, Indeed, she returned answer to herself,
Judges 5:30	Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A maiden, two maidens to every man; To Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
Judges 5:31	So let all your enemies perish, O Yehovah: But let those who love him be as the sun when he goes out in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Judges 6:1	And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah: and Yehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Judges 6:2	And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made for themselves the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.
Judges 6:3	And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;
Judges 6:4	and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till you come to Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor donkey.
Judges 6:5	For they came up with their cattle and their tents; they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it.
Judges 6:6	And Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried to Yehovah.
Judges 6:7	And it happened, when the children of Israel cried to Yehovah because of Midian,
Judges 6:8	that Yehovah sent a prophet to the children of Israel: and he said to them, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage;
Judges 6:9	and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;
Judges 6:10	and I said to you, I am Yehovah your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But you have not listened to my voice.
Judges 6:11	And the angel of Yehovah came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
Judges 6:12	And the angel of Yehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Yehovah is with you, you mighty man of valor.
Judges 6:13	And Gideon said to him, Oh, my lord, if Yehovah is with us, why then has all this befallen us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Yehovah bring us up from Egypt? but now Yehovah has cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.
Judges 6:14	And Yehovah looked on him, and said, Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have I not sent you?
Judges 6:15	And he said to him, Oh, Lord, with what shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.
Judges 6:16	And Yehovah said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.
Judges 6:17	And he said to him, If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who talk with me.
Judges 6:18	Please do not depart from here until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you. And he said, I will stay until you come again.
Judges 6:19	And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.
Judges 6:20	And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
Judges 6:21	Then the angel of Yehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of Yehovah departed out of his sight.
Judges 6:22	And Gideon saw that he was the angel of Yehovah; and Gideon said, Alas, O Lord Yehovah! because I have seen the angel of Yehovah face to face.
Judges 6:23	And Yehovah said to him, Peace be to you; do not fear: you shall not die.
Judges 6:24	Then Gideon built an altar there to Yehovah, and called it Yehovah-shalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Judges 6:25	And it happened the same night, that Yehovah said to him, Take your father’s bull, even the second bull seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;
Judges 6:26	and build an altar to Yehovah your God on the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.
Judges 6:27	Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Yehovah had spoken to him: and it happened, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
Judges 6:28	And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was built.
Judges 6:29	And they said one to another, Who has done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.
Judges 6:30	Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.
Judges 6:31	And Joash said to all who stood against him, Will you contend for Baal? or will you save him? he who will contend for him, let him be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him contend for himself, because one has broken down his altar.
Judges 6:32	Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.
Judges 6:33	Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.
Judges 6:34	But the Spirit of Yehovah came on Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him.
Judges 6:35	And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
Judges 6:36	And Gideon said to God, If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken,
Judges 6:37	behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have spoken.
Judges 6:38	And it was so; for he rose up early the next day, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.
Judges 6:39	And Gideon said to God, Do not let your anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: please let me make trial but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, and on all the ground let there be dew.
Judges 6:40	And God did so that night: for it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Judges 7:1	Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Judges 7:2	And Yehovah said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand has saved me.
Judges 7:3	Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty-two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Judges 7:4	And Yehovah said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
Judges 7:5	So he brought down the people to the water: and Yehovah said to Gideon, Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, him you shall set by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.
Judges 7:6	And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water.
Judges 7:7	And Yehovah said to Gideon, By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his place.
Judges 7:8	So the people took provisions in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Judges 7:9	And it happened the same night, that Yehovah said to him, Arise, go down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
Judges 7:10	But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Judges 7:11	and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
Judges 7:12	And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is on the sea-shore for multitude.
Judges 7:13	And when Gideon had come, behold, there was a man telling a dream to his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.
Judges 7:14	And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else except the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the host.
Judges 7:15	And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Yehovah has delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
Judges 7:16	And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Judges 7:17	And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall you do.
Judges 7:18	When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of all the camp, and say, For Yehovah and for Gideon.
Judges 7:19	So Gideon, and the hundred men who were with him, came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Judges 7:20	And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they cried, The sword of Yehovah and of Gideon.
Judges 7:21	And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Judges 7:22	And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Yehovah set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
Judges 7:23	And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Judges 7:24	And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan.
Judges 7:25	And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Judges 8:1	And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why have you treated us thus, that you did not call us, when you went to fight with Midian? And they chided him sharply.
Judges 8:2	And he said to them, What have I now done in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Judges 8:3	God has delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
Judges 8:4	And Gideon came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint, yet pursuing.
Judges 8:5	And he said to the men of Succoth, Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.
Judges 8:6	And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?
Judges 8:7	And Gideon said, Therefore when Yehovah has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Judges 8:8	And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.
Judges 8:9	And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Judges 8:10	Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the host of the children of the east; for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.
Judges 8:11	And Gideon went up by the way of those who dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and struck the host; for the host was secure.
Judges 8:12	And Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed all the host.
Judges 8:13	And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres.
Judges 8:14	And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, seventy-seven men.
Judges 8:15	And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?
Judges 8:16	And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
Judges 8:17	And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and killed the men of the city.
Judges 8:18	Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom you killed at Tabor? And they answered, As you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
Judges 8:19	And he said, They were my brothers, the sons of my mother: as Yehovah lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not kill you.
Judges 8:20	And he said to Jether his firstborn, Up, and kill them. But the youth did not draw his sword; for he feared, because he was still a youth.
Judges 8:21	Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise yourself, and fall on us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks.
Judges 8:22	Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us, both you, and your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.
Judges 8:23	And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Yehovah shall rule over you.
Judges 8:24	And Gideon said to them, I would make a request of you, that you would give me every man the ear-rings of his spoil. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
Judges 8:25	And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the ear-rings of his spoil.
Judges 8:26	And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was a thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple clothing that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks.
Judges 8:27	And Gideon made an ephod of it, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel played the prostitute after it there; and it became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.
Judges 8:28	So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
Judges 8:29	And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Judges 8:30	And Gideon had seventy sons begotten of his body; for he had many wives.
Judges 8:31	And his concubine who was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he called his name Abimelech.
Judges 8:32	And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Judges 8:33	And it happened, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the prostitute after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
Judges 8:34	And the children of Israel did not remember Yehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;
Judges 8:35	nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.
Judges 9:1	And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother’s brothers, and spoke with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,
Judges 9:2	Please speak in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
Judges 9:3	And his mother’s brothers spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
Judges 9:4	And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, who followed him.
Judges 9:5	And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah, and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, on one stone: but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
Judges 9:6	And all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem.
Judges 9:7	And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.
Judges 9:8	The trees once went out to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive-tree, Reign over us.
Judges 9:9	But the olive-tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honor God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Judges 9:10	And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come, and reign over us.
Judges 9:11	But the fig-tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Judges 9:12	And the trees said to the vine, Come, and reign over us.
Judges 9:13	And the vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?
Judges 9:14	Then all the trees said to the bramble, Come, and reign over us.
Judges 9:15	And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Judges 9:16	Now therefore, if you have dealt truly and uprightly, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands
Judges 9:17	(for my father fought for you, and risked his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
Judges 9:18	and you have risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother);
Judges 9:19	if you then have dealt truly and uprightly with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
Judges 9:20	but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Judges 9:21	And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Judges 9:22	And Abimelech was prince over Israel three years.
Judges 9:23	And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
Judges 9:24	that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.
Judges 9:25	And the men of Shechem set men in ambush for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
Judges 9:26	And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.
Judges 9:27	And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Judges 9:28	And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is he not the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him?
Judges 9:29	And would that this people were under my hand! then I would remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase your army, and come out.
Judges 9:30	And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Judges 9:31	And he sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain the city to take part against you.
Judges 9:32	Now therefore, up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field:
Judges 9:33	and it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early, and rush on the city; and, behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, then you may do to them as you shall find occasion.
Judges 9:34	And Abimelech rose up, and all the people who were with him, by night, and they lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.
Judges 9:35	And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people who were with him, from the ambush.
Judges 9:36	And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
Judges 9:37	And Gaal spoke again and said, See, people are coming down by the middle of the land, and one company comes by the way of the oak of Meonenim.
Judges 9:38	Then Zebul said to him, Where now is your mouth, that you said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that you have despised? go out now, please, and fight with them.
Judges 9:39	And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Judges 9:40	And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, even to the entrance of the gate.
Judges 9:41	And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Judges 9:42	And it happened the next day, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Judges 9:43	And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people came out of the city; and he rose up against them, and struck them.
Judges 9:44	And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two companies rushed on all who were in the field, and struck them.
Judges 9:45	And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and killed the people who were in it: and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Judges 9:46	And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith.
Judges 9:47	And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Judges 9:48	And Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said to the people who were with him, What you have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
Judges 9:49	And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire on them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Judges 9:50	Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Judges 9:51	But there was a strong tower within the city, and there fled all the men and women, and all those of the city, and shut themselves in, and went up to the roof of the tower.
Judges 9:52	And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Judges 9:53	And a certain woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head, and broke his skull.
Judges 9:54	Then he called hastily to the young man his armorbearer, and said to him, Draw your sword, and kill me, so that men may not say of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Judges 9:55	And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
Judges 9:56	Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father, in slaying his seventy brothers;
Judges 9:57	and God requited all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads: and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
Judges 10:1	And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Judges 10:2	And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Judges 10:3	And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Judges 10:4	And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Judges 10:5	And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Judges 10:6	And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Yehovah, and did not serve him.
Judges 10:7	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Judges 10:8	And they harassed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: for eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Judges 10:9	And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was greatly distressed.
Judges 10:10	And the children of Israel cried to Yehovah, saying, We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.
Judges 10:11	And Yehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Judges 10:12	The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
Judges 10:13	Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods: therefore I will save you no more.
Judges 10:14	Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.
Judges 10:15	And the children of Israel said to Yehovah, We have sinned: do to us whatever seems good to you; only please deliver us this day.
Judges 10:16	And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Yehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Judges 10:17	Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
Judges 10:18	And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Judges 11:1	Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a prostitute: and Gilead fathered Jephthah.
Judges 11:2	And Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, You shall not inherit in our father’s house; for you are the son of another woman.
Judges 11:3	Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and worthless fellows were gathered to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
Judges 11:4	And it happened after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Judges 11:5	And it was so, that, when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
Judges 11:6	and they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Judges 11:7	And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why have you come to me now when you are in distress?
Judges 11:8	And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon; and you shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Judges 11:9	And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Yehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head?
Judges 11:10	And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Yehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so we will do.
Judges 11:11	Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spoke all his words before Yehovah in Mizpah.
Judges 11:12	And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?
Judges 11:13	And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
Judges 11:14	And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon;
Judges 11:15	and he said to him, Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
Judges 11:16	but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Judges 11:17	then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass through your land; but the king of Edom did not listen. And in like manner he sent to the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel stayed in Kadesh.
Judges 11:18	Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
Judges 11:19	And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Please let us pass through your land to my place.
Judges 11:20	But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Judges 11:21	And Yehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them down: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
Judges 11:22	And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Judges 11:23	So now Yehovah, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
Judges 11:24	Will you not possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomever Yehovah our God has dispossessed from before us, them we will possess.
Judges 11:25	And now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
Judges 11:26	While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; why did you not recover them within that time?
Judges 11:27	I therefore have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me: Yehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Judges 11:28	However, the king of the children of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Judges 11:29	Then the Spirit of Yehovah came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.
Judges 11:30	And Jephthah vowed a vow to Yehovah, and said, If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
Judges 11:31	then it shall be, that whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Yehovah’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.
Judges 11:32	So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Yehovah delivered them into his hand.
Judges 11:33	And he struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
Judges 11:34	And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
Judges 11:35	And it happened, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you are one of those who trouble me; for I have opened my mouth to Yehovah, and I cannot go back.
Judges 11:36	And she said to him, My father, you have opened your mouth to Yehovah; do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth, since Yehovah has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the children of Ammon.
Judges 11:37	And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
Judges 11:38	And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Judges 11:39	And it happened at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she did not know man. And it was a custom in Israel,
Judges 11:40	that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Judges 12:1	And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house on you with fire.
Judges 12:2	And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not save me out of their hand.
Judges 12:3	And when I saw that you did not save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed opposite the children of Ammon, and Yehovah delivered them into my hand: why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Judges 12:4	Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.
Judges 12:5	And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And it was so, that, when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, No;
Judges 12:6	then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not manage to pronounce it right: then they laid hold on him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.
Judges 12:7	And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Judges 12:8	And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Judges 12:9	And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Judges 12:10	And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Judges 12:11	And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Judges 12:12	And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Judges 12:13	And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Judges 12:14	And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, who rode on seventy donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Judges 12:15	And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
Judges 13:1	And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah; and Yehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Judges 13:2	And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and did not bear.
Judges 13:3	And the angel of Yehovah appeared to the woman, and said to her, Behold now, you are barren, and do not bear; but you shall conceive, and bear a son.
Judges 13:4	Now therefore please beware, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing:
Judges 13:5	for behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Judges 13:6	Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very awesome; and I did not ask him where he was from, nor did he tell me his name:
Judges 13:7	but he said to me, Behold, you shall conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
Judges 13:8	Then Manoah entreated Yehovah, and said, Oh, Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us, and teach us what we shall do to the child who shall be born.
Judges 13:9	And God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Judges 13:10	And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said to him, Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.
Judges 13:11	And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said to him, Are you the man who spoke to the woman? And he said, I am.
Judges 13:12	And Manoah said, Now let your words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and what shall we do with him?
Judges 13:13	And the angel of Yehovah said to Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman let her beware.
Judges 13:14	She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe.
Judges 13:15	And Manoah said to the angel of Yehovah, Please let us detain you, that we may make ready a kid for you.
Judges 13:16	And the angel of Yehovah said to Manoah, Though you detain me, I will not eat of your bread; and if you will make ready a burnt-offering, you must offer it to Yehovah. For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of Yehovah.
Judges 13:17	And Manoah said to the angel of Yehovah, What is your name, that, when your words come to pass, we may do you honor?
Judges 13:18	And the angel of Yehovah said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?
Judges 13:19	So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it on the rock to Yehovah: and the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Judges 13:20	For it happened, when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, that the angel of Yehovah ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground.
Judges 13:21	But the angel of Yehovah did not appear again to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Yehovah.
Judges 13:22	And Manoah said to his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Judges 13:23	But his wife said to him, If Yehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meal-offering at our hand, nor would he have shown us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these.
Judges 13:24	And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and Yehovah blessed him.
Judges 13:25	And the Spirit of Yehovah began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Judges 14:1	And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Judges 14:2	And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me as wife.
Judges 14:3	Then his father and his mother said to him, Is there not a woman among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me; for she pleases me well.
Judges 14:4	But his father and his mother did not know that it was of Yehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel.
Judges 14:5	Then Samson went down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
Judges 14:6	And the Spirit of Yehovah came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Judges 14:7	And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
Judges 14:8	And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
Judges 14:9	And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave to them, and they ate: but he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion.
Judges 14:10	And his father went down to the woman: and Samson made a feast there; for so the young men used to do.
Judges 14:11	And it happened, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Judges 14:12	And Samson said to them, Let me now put a riddle to you: if you can declare it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
Judges 14:13	but if you cannot declare it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your riddle, that we may hear it.
Judges 14:14	And he said to them, Out of the eater came food, And out of the strong came sweetness. And they could not in three days declare the riddle.
Judges 14:15	And it happened on the seventh day, that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire: have you called us to impoverish us? is it not so?
Judges 14:16	And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, You only hate me, and do not love me: you have put a riddle to the children of my people, and have not told it to me. And he said to her, Behold, I have not told it to my father or my mother, and shall I tell you?
Judges 14:17	And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it happened on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him hard; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Judges 14:18	And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have found out my riddle.
Judges 14:19	And the Spirit of Yehovah came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and struck down thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house.
Judges 14:20	But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Judges 15:1	But it happened after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not allow him to go in.
Judges 15:2	And her father said, I truly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? please take her instead of her.
Judges 15:3	And Samson said to them, This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines, when I do them harm.
Judges 15:4	And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
Judges 15:5	And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive orchards.
Judges 15:6	Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Judges 15:7	And Samson said to them, If you act in this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Judges 15:8	And he struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Judges 15:9	Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Judges 15:10	And the men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us? And they said, We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.
Judges 15:11	Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that you have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so I have done to them.
Judges 15:12	And they said to him, We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that you will not fall on me yourselves.
Judges 15:13	And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Judges 15:14	When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yehovah came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from his hands.
Judges 15:15	And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand, and took it, and struck down a thousand men with it.
Judges 15:16	And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have struck down a thousand men.
Judges 15:17	And it happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi.
Judges 15:18	And he was very thirsty, and called on Yehovah, and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now I shall die of thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised.
Judges 15:19	But God split open the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Judges 15:20	And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Judges 16:1	And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a prostitute, and went in to her.
Judges 16:2	And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson has come here. And they surrounded him, and lay in wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, Let it be until morning light, then we will kill him.
Judges 16:3	And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron.
Judges 16:4	And it happened afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Judges 16:5	And the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Entice him, and see where his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give you every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
Judges 16:6	And Delilah said to Samson, Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you might be bound to afflict you.
Judges 16:7	And Samson said to her, If they bind me with seven green cords that were never dried, then I shall become weak, and be as another man.
Judges 16:8	Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green cords which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Judges 16:9	Now she had men lying in wait, staying in the inner chamber. And she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And he broke the cords, as a string of tow is broken when it touches the fire. So his strength was not known.
Judges 16:10	And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies: now please tell me with what you might be bound.
Judges 16:11	And he said to her, If they only bind me with new ropes with which no work has been done, then I shall become weak, and be as another man.
Judges 16:12	So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the men lying in wait were staying in the inner chamber. And he broke them off his arms like a thread.
Judges 16:13	And Delilah said to Samson, Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies: tell me with what you might be bound. And he said to her, If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web.
Judges 16:14	And she fastened it with the pin, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web.
Judges 16:15	And she said to him, How can you say, I love you, when your heart is not with me? you have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.
Judges 16:16	And it happened, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed to death.
Judges 16:17	And he told her all his heart, and said to her, A razor has not come on my head; for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb: if I am shaved, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
Judges 16:18	And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he has told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her, and brought the money in their hand.
Judges 16:19	And she made him sleep on her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Judges 16:20	And she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free. But he did not know that Yehovah had departed from him.
Judges 16:21	And the Philistines laid hold of him, and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he was grinding in the prison-house.
Judges 16:22	However, the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaved.
Judges 16:23	And the lords of the Philistines gathered themselves together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Judges 16:24	And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god has delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, who has slain many of us.
Judges 16:25	And it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may entertain us. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he entertained them. And they set him between the pillars:
Judges 16:26	and Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, Allow me to feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean on them.
Judges 16:27	Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were on the roof about three thousand men and women, who watched while Samson entertained.
Judges 16:28	And Samson called to Yehovah, and said, O Lord Yehovah, please remember me, and please strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Judges 16:29	And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and leaned on them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left.
Judges 16:30	And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell on the lords, and on all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.
Judges 16:31	Then his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Judges 17:1	And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Judges 17:2	And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son by Yehovah.
Judges 17:3	And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I truly dedicate the silver to Yehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to you.
Judges 17:4	And when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah.
Judges 17:5	And the man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Judges 17:6	In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Judges 17:7	And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.
Judges 17:8	And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find a place, and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
Judges 17:9	And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place.
Judges 17:10	And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, and a suit of clothing, and your provisions. So the Levite went in.
Judges 17:11	And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Judges 17:12	And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Judges 17:13	Then Micah said, Now I know that Yehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.
Judges 18:1	In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
Judges 18:2	And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, Go, search the land. And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
Judges 18:3	When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside there, and said to him, Who brought you here? and what are you doing in this place? and what have you here?
Judges 18:4	And he said to them, Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.
Judges 18:5	And they said to him, Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way on which we are going shall be prosperous.
Judges 18:6	And the priest said to them, Go in peace: your way in which you go is before Yehovah.
Judges 18:7	Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were in it, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man.
Judges 18:8	And they came to their brothers to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brothers said to them, What do you say?
Judges 18:9	And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are you still? do not be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
Judges 18:10	When you go, you shall come to a people secure, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth.
Judges 18:11	And there set out from there of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Judges 18:12	And they went up, and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah: therefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan, to this day; behold, it is behind Kiriath-jearim.
Judges 18:13	And they passed from there to the hill-country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Judges 18:14	Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered, and said to their brothers, Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what you have to do.
Judges 18:15	And they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even to the house of Micah, and asked him about his welfare.
Judges 18:16	And the six hundred men girded with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
Judges 18:17	And the five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Judges 18:18	And when these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?
Judges 18:19	And they said to him, Hold your peace, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?
Judges 18:20	And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
Judges 18:21	So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them.
Judges 18:22	When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near to Micah’s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
Judges 18:23	And they cried to the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What ails you, that you come with such a company?
Judges 18:24	And he said, You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what more do I have? and how then do you say to me, What ails you?
Judges 18:25	And the children of Dan said to him, Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.
Judges 18:26	And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
Judges 18:27	And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
Judges 18:28	And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt in it.
Judges 18:29	And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel: however, the name of the city was Laish at first.
Judges 18:30	And the children of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
Judges 18:31	So they set up for themselves Micah’s graven image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Judges 19:1	And it happened in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah.
Judges 19:2	And his concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there the space of four months.
Judges 19:3	And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of donkeys: and she brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Judges 19:4	And his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, retained him; and he stayed with him three days: so they ate and drank, and lodged there.
Judges 19:5	And it happened on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the young woman’s father said to his son-in-law, Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.
Judges 19:6	So they sat down, and ate and drank, both of them together: and the young woman’s father said to the man, Please be willing to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.
Judges 19:7	And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again.
Judges 19:8	And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young woman’s father said, Please strengthen your heart, and stay until the day declines; and they ate, both of them.
Judges 19:9	And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night: behold, the day grows to an end, lodge here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow get up early on your way, that you may go home.
Judges 19:10	But the man would not stay that night, but he rose up and departed, and came opposite Jebus (the same is Jerusalem): and there were with him a couple of donkeys saddled; his concubine also was with him.
Judges 19:11	When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Please come, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Judges 19:12	And his master said to him, We will not turn aside into the city of a foreigner, who is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.
Judges 19:13	And he said to his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Judges 19:14	So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near to Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Judges 19:15	And they turned aside there, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no man who took them into his house to lodge.
Judges 19:16	And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at evening: now the man was of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Judges 19:17	And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, Where are you going? and where do you come from?
Judges 19:18	And he said to him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah to the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim; I am from there, and I went to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am now going to the house of Yehovah; and there is no man who takes me into his house.
Judges 19:19	Yet there is both straw and provender for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your maidservant, and for the young man who is with your servants: there is no want of anything.
Judges 19:20	And the old man said, Peace be to you; however, let all your needs lie on me; only do not lodge in the street.
Judges 19:21	So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
Judges 19:22	As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him.
Judges 19:23	And the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, No, my brothers, please do not act so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into my house, do not do this folly.
Judges 19:24	Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble them, and do with them what seems good to you: but to this man do not do any such folly.
Judges 19:25	But the men would not listen to him: so the man took hold of his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Judges 19:26	Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light.
Judges 19:27	And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and, behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
Judges 19:28	And he said to her, Up, and let us be going; but none answered: then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
Judges 19:29	And when he had come into his house, he took a knife, and took hold of his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
Judges 19:30	And it was so, that all who saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day: consider it, take counsel, and speak.
Judges 20:1	Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, to Yehovah at Mizpah.
Judges 20:2	And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword.
Judges 20:3	(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how did this wickedness come about?
Judges 20:4	And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Judges 20:5	And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house against me by night; they intended to kill me, and my concubine they violated, and she is dead.
Judges 20:6	And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
Judges 20:7	Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.
Judges 20:8	And all the people arose as one man, saying, None of us will go to his tent, nor will any of us turn to his house.
Judges 20:9	But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Judges 20:10	and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have done in Israel.
Judges 20:11	So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Judges 20:12	And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has come to pass among you?
Judges 20:13	Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers the children of Israel.
Judges 20:14	And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Judges 20:15	And the children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Judges 20:16	Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen left-handed men; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.
Judges 20:17	And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword: all these were men of war.
Judges 20:18	And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin? And Yehovah said, Judah shall go up first.
Judges 20:19	And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Judges 20:20	And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
Judges 20:21	And the children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty-two thousand men.
Judges 20:22	And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.
Judges 20:23	And the children of Israel went up and wept before Yehovah until evening; and they inquired of Yehovah, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Yehovah said, Go up against him.
Judges 20:24	And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Judges 20:25	And Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
Judges 20:26	Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came to Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before Yehovah, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Yehovah.
Judges 20:27	And the children of Israel inquired of Yehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Judges 20:28	and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Yehovah said, Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.
Judges 20:29	And Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.
Judges 20:30	And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Judges 20:31	And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Judges 20:32	And the children of Benjamin said, They are struck down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.
Judges 20:33	And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the men of Israel in ambush broke out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.
Judges 20:34	And there came opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was fierce; but they did not know that evil was close on them.
Judges 20:35	And Yehovah struck down Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
Judges 20:36	So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck down; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.
Judges 20:37	And the men in ambush hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; and the men in ambush moved out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
Judges 20:38	Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
Judges 20:39	And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.
Judges 20:40	But when the cloud began to rise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.
Judges 20:41	And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil had come on them.
Judges 20:42	Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.
Judges 20:43	They surrounded the Benjamites, and chased them, and trod them down at their resting-place, as far as opposite Gibeah toward the sunrise.
Judges 20:44	And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
Judges 20:45	And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck down two thousand men of them.
Judges 20:46	So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
Judges 20:47	But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed at the rock of Rimmon four months.
Judges 20:48	And the men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
Judges 21:1	Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as wife.
Judges 21:2	And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept bitterly.
Judges 21:3	And they said, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that there should be today one tribe lacking in Israel?
Judges 21:4	And it happened the next day, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings.
Judges 21:5	And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that did not come up in the assembly to Yehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him who did not come up to Yehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Judges 21:6	And the children of Israel were sorry for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Judges 21:7	What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by Yehovah that we will not give them of our daughters as wives?
Judges 21:8	And they said, Which one is there of the tribes of Israel that did not come up to Yehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, none had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
Judges 21:9	For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
Judges 21:10	And the congregation sent there twelve thousand men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.
Judges 21:11	And this is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.
Judges 21:12	And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, who had not known a man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Judges 21:13	And the whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.
Judges 21:14	And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they were not enough for them.
Judges 21:15	And the people were sorry for Benjamin, because Yehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Judges 21:16	Then the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Judges 21:17	And they said, There must be an inheritance for those who have escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe may not be blotted out from Israel.
Judges 21:18	However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he who gives a wife to Benjamin.
Judges 21:19	And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Yehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Judges 21:20	And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,
Judges 21:21	and see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and catch every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Judges 21:22	And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, Grant them graciously to us, because we did not take for each man of them his wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.
Judges 21:23	And the children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves, according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off: and they went and returned to their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them.
Judges 21:24	And the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.
Judges 21:25	In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Ruth 1:1	And it happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Ruth 1:2	And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Ruth 1:3	And Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Ruth 1:4	And they took wives for themselves from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.
Ruth 1:5	And Mahlon and Chilion both died; and the woman was left without her two children and of her husband.
Ruth 1:6	Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab that Yehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
Ruth 1:7	And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Ruth 1:8	And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: Yehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Ruth 1:9	Yehovah grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Ruth 1:10	And they said to her, No, but we will return with you to your people.
Ruth 1:11	And Naomi said, Turn back, my daughters: why will you go with me? do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Ruth 1:12	Turn back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;
Ruth 1:13	would you therefore wait till they were grown? would you therefore refrain from having husbands? no, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yehovah has gone forth against me.
Ruth 1:14	And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
Ruth 1:15	And she said, Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god: return after your sister-in-law.
Ruth 1:16	And Ruth said, Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
Ruth 1:17	where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried: Yehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.
Ruth 1:18	And when she saw that she was steadfastly determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
Ruth 1:19	So the two of them went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it happened, when they had come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?
Ruth 1:20	And she said to them, Do not call me Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Ruth 1:21	I went out full, and Yehovah has brought me home again empty; why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yehovah has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
Ruth 1:22	So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Ruth 2:1	And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Ruth 2:2	And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Ruth 2:3	And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come upon the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Ruth 2:4	And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers, Yehovah be with you. And they answered him, Yehovah bless you.
Ruth 2:5	Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose young woman is this?
Ruth 2:6	And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite young woman who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
Ruth 2:7	and she said, Please let me glean, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.
Ruth 2:8	Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do you not hear, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field, nor pass on from here, but stay here close by my maidens.
Ruth 2:9	Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch you? and when you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Ruth 2:10	Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take notice of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
Ruth 2:11	And Boaz answered and said to her, It has been fully shown to me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you did not know before.
Ruth 2:12	Yehovah recompense your work, and a full reward be given you by Yehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.
Ruth 2:13	Then she said, Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens.
Ruth 2:14	And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and had some left over.
Ruth 2:15	And when she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Ruth 2:16	And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her.
Ruth 2:17	So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Ruth 2:18	And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
Ruth 2:19	And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? and where have you worked? blessed be he who took notice of you. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
Ruth 2:20	And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he by Yehovah, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.
Ruth 2:21	And Ruth the Moabitess said, Indeed, he said to me, You shall keep close by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Ruth 2:22	And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they do not meet you in any other field.
Ruth 2:23	So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Ruth 3:1	And Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
Ruth 3:2	And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing-floor.
Ruth 3:3	Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself, and put your clothing upon you, and go down to the threshing-floor, but do not make yourself known to the man, until he has finished eating and drinking.
Ruth 3:4	And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you shall do.
Ruth 3:5	And she said to her, All that you say I will do.
Ruth 3:6	And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
Ruth 3:7	And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Ruth 3:8	And it happened at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Ruth 3:9	And he said, Who are you? And she answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.
Ruth 3:10	And he said, Blessed be you by Yehovah, my daughter: you have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, since you did not follow young men, whether poor or rich.
Ruth 3:11	And now, my daughter, do not fear; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.
Ruth 3:12	And now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Ruth 3:13	Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, then I will do the part of a kinsman to you, as Yehovah lives: lie down until the morning.
Ruth 3:14	And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.
Ruth 3:15	And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon you, and hold it; and she held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city.
Ruth 3:16	And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are you, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Ruth 3:17	And she said, These six measures of barley he gave me; for he said, Do not go empty to your mother-in-law.
Ruth 3:18	Then she said, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day.
Ruth 4:1	Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Ruth 4:2	And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit down here. And they sat down.
Ruth 4:3	And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come back out of the country of Moab, sells the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
Ruth 4:4	and I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one to redeem it besides you; and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it.
Ruth 4:5	Then Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must buy it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Ruth 4:6	And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance: take my right of redemption on yourself; for I cannot redeem it.
Ruth 4:7	Now this was the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel.
Ruth 4:8	So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. And he drew off his shoe.
Ruth 4:9	And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.
Ruth 4:10	Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you are witnesses this day.
Ruth 4:11	And all the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Yehovah make the woman who has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel: and act worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Ruth 4:12	and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yehovah shall give you of this young woman.
Ruth 4:13	So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and Yehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.
Ruth 4:14	And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yehovah, who has not left you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.
Ruth 4:15	And he shall be to you a restorer of life, and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.
Ruth 4:16	And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
Ruth 4:17	And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Ruth 4:18	Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron,
Ruth 4:19	and Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab,
Ruth 4:20	and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, and Nahshon fathered Salmon,
Ruth 4:21	and Salmon fathered Boaz, and Boaz fathered Obed,
Ruth 4:22	and Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.
1 Samuel 1:1	Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:
1 Samuel 1:2	and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
1 Samuel 1:3	And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to Yehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to Yehovah, were there.
1 Samuel 1:4	And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
1 Samuel 1:5	but to Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Yehovah had shut up her womb.
1 Samuel 1:6	And her rival provoked her severely, to make her fret, because Yehovah had shut up her womb.
1 Samuel 1:7	And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Yehovah, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
1 Samuel 1:8	And Elkanah her husband said to her, Hannah, why do you weep? and why do you not eat? and why is your heart grieved? am I not better to you than ten sons?
1 Samuel 1:9	So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 1:10	And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to Yehovah, and wept bitterly.
1 Samuel 1:11	And she vowed a vow, and said, O Yehovah of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your maidservant, and remember me, and not forget your maidservant, but will give to your maidservant a man-child, then I will give him to Yehovah all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.
1 Samuel 1:12	And it happened, as she continued praying before Yehovah, that Eli watched her mouth.
1 Samuel 1:13	Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
1 Samuel 1:14	And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunk? put away your wine from you.
1 Samuel 1:15	And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yehovah.
1 Samuel 1:16	Do not count your maidservant for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation I have spoken until now.
1 Samuel 1:17	Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:18	And she said, Let your maidservant find favor in your sight. So the woman went her way, and ate; and her countenance was no longer sad.
1 Samuel 1:19	And they rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before Yehovah, and returned, and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Yehovah remembered her;
1 Samuel 1:20	and it happened, when the time had come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 1:21	And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to Yehovah the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
1 Samuel 1:22	But Hannah did not go up; for she said to her husband, I will not go up until the child is weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Yehovah, and abide there forever.
1 Samuel 1:23	And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seems good to you; wait until you have weaned him; only may Yehovah establish his word. So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
1 Samuel 1:24	And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of Yehovah in Shiloh: and the child was young.
1 Samuel 1:25	And they slaughtered the bull, and brought the child to Eli.
1 Samuel 1:26	And she said, Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 1:27	For this child I prayed; and Yehovah has given me my petition which I asked of him:
1 Samuel 1:28	therefore also I have granted him to Yehovah; as long as he lives he is granted to Yehovah. And he worshiped Yehovah there.
1 Samuel 2:1	And Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exults in Yehovah; My horn is exalted in Yehovah; My mouth is enlarged over my enemies; Because I rejoice in your salvation.
1 Samuel 2:2	There is none holy as Yehovah; For there is none besides you, Neither is there any rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:3	Talk no more so very proudly; Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For Yehovah is a God of knowledge, And by him actions are weighed.
1 Samuel 2:4	The bows of the mighty men are broken; And those who stumbled are girded with strength.
1 Samuel 2:5	Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread; And those who were hungry have ceased to hunger: Indeed, the barren has borne seven; And she who has many children languishes.
1 Samuel 2:6	Yehovah kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.
1 Samuel 2:7	Yehovah makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up.
1 Samuel 2:8	He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yehovah’s, And he has set the world on them.
1 Samuel 2:9	He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength no man shall prevail.
1 Samuel 2:10	Those who strive with Yehovah shall be broken to pieces; Against them he will thunder in heaven: Yehovah will judge the ends of the earth; And he will give strength to his king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.
1 Samuel 2:11	And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to Yehovah before Eli the priest.
1 Samuel 2:12	Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know Yehovah.
1 Samuel 2:13	And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand;
1 Samuel 2:14	and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took with it. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
1 Samuel 2:15	Indeed, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.
1 Samuel 2:16	And if the man said to him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would say, No, but you shall give it to me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
1 Samuel 2:17	And the sin of the young men was very great before Yehovah; for the men despised the offering of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 2:18	But Samuel ministered before Yehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
1 Samuel 2:19	Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
1 Samuel 2:20	And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Yehovah give you seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Yehovah. And they went to their own home.
1 Samuel 2:21	And Yehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Yehovah.
1 Samuel 2:22	Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the door of the tent of meeting.
1 Samuel 2:23	And he said to them, Why do you do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
1 Samuel 2:24	No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you make Yehovah’s people transgress.
1 Samuel 2:25	If one man sins against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sins against Yehovah, who shall intercede for him? Nevertheless, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Yehovah intended to put them to death.
1 Samuel 2:26	And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Yehovah, and also with men.
1 Samuel 2:27	And a man of God came to Eli, and said to him, Thus says Yehovah, Did I reveal myself to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?
1 Samuel 2:28	and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
1 Samuel 2:29	Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the choicest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
1 Samuel 2:30	Therefore Yehovah, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever: but now Yehovah says, Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
1 Samuel 2:31	Behold, the days are coming, when I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father’s house, so that there shall not be an old man in your house.
1 Samuel 2:32	And you shall behold the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.
1 Samuel 2:33	And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart; and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
1 Samuel 2:34	And this shall be the sign to you, that shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
1 Samuel 2:35	And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
1 Samuel 2:36	And it shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
1 Samuel 3:1	And the child Samuel ministered to Yehovah before Eli. And the word of Yehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision.
1 Samuel 3:2	And it happened at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),
1 Samuel 3:3	and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down to sleep, in the temple of Yehovah, where the ark of God was;
1 Samuel 3:4	that Yehovah called Samuel: and he said, Here I am.
1 Samuel 3:5	And he ran to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And he said, I did not call; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
1 Samuel 3:6	And Yehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son; lie down again.
1 Samuel 3:7	Now Samuel did not yet know Yehovah, neither was the word of Yehovah yet revealed to him.
1 Samuel 3:8	And Yehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here I am; for you called me. And Eli perceived that Yehovah had called the child.
1 Samuel 3:9	Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he calls you, that you shall say, Speak, Yehovah; for your servant hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1 Samuel 3:10	And Yehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for your servant hears.
1 Samuel 3:11	And Yehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
1 Samuel 3:12	In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.
1 Samuel 3:13	For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse upon themselves, and he did not restrain them.
1 Samuel 3:14	And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice nor offering forever.
1 Samuel 3:15	And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
1 Samuel 3:16	Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here I am.
1 Samuel 3:17	And he said, What is the thing that Yehovah has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me: God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.
1 Samuel 3:18	And Samuel told him everything, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Yehovah: let him do what seems good to him.
1 Samuel 3:19	And Samuel grew, and Yehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.
1 Samuel 3:20	And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 3:21	And Yehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Yehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 4:1	And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
1 Samuel 4:2	And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was defeated before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.
1 Samuel 4:3	And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has Yehovah defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Yehovah out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.
1 Samuel 4:4	So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yehovah of hosts, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
1 Samuel 4:5	And when the ark of the covenant of Yehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
1 Samuel 4:6	And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean? And they understood that the ark of Yehovah had come into the camp.
1 Samuel 4:7	And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God has come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! for there has not been such a thing before.
1 Samuel 4:8	Woe to us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
1 Samuel 4:9	Be strong, and conduct yourselves like men, O you Philistines, that you may not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you: conduct yourselves like men, and fight.
1 Samuel 4:10	And the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.
1 Samuel 4:11	And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
1 Samuel 4:12	And a man of Benjamin ran out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.
1 Samuel 4:13	And when he came, look, Eli was sitting on his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
1 Samuel 4:14	And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What does the noise of this tumult mean? And the man hurried, and came and told Eli.
1 Samuel 4:15	Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.
1 Samuel 4:16	And the man said to Eli, I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, How did the matter go, my son?
1 Samuel 4:17	And he who brought the news answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
1 Samuel 4:18	And it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
1 Samuel 4:19	And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was pregnant, about to give birth: and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came upon her.
1 Samuel 4:20	And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, Do not fear; for you have given birth to a son. But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.
1 Samuel 4:21	And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory has departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
1 Samuel 4:22	And she said, The glory has departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken.
1 Samuel 5:1	Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
1 Samuel 5:2	And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:3	And when those of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Yehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
1 Samuel 5:4	And when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Yehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands lay cut off on the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
1 Samuel 5:5	Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any who come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, to this day.
1 Samuel 5:6	But the hand of Yehovah was heavy upon those of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and struck them with tumors, even Ashdod and its borders.
1 Samuel 5:7	And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is severe upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
1 Samuel 5:8	They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried around to Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel there.
1 Samuel 5:9	And it was so, that, after they had carried it around, the hand of Yehovah was against the city with a very great panic: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors broke out on them.
1 Samuel 5:10	So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it happened, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people.
1 Samuel 5:11	They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it may not kill us, and our people. For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
1 Samuel 5:12	And the men who did not die were struck with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
1 Samuel 6:1	And the ark of Yehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1 Samuel 6:2	And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Yehovah? show us with what we shall send it to its place.
1 Samuel 6:3	And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return to him a trespass-offering: then you shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
1 Samuel 6:4	Then they said, What shall be the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden tumors, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
1 Samuel 6:5	Therefore you shall make images of your tumors, and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
1 Samuel 6:6	Why then do you harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had dealt wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
1 Samuel 6:7	Now therefore take and prepare a new cart, and two milk cows, on which no yoke has come; and tie the cows to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;
1 Samuel 6:8	and take the ark of Yehovah, and lay it on the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which you return to him for a trespass-offering, in a box by its side; and send it away, that it may go.
1 Samuel 6:9	And see; if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us.
1 Samuel 6:10	And the men did so, and took two milk cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;
1 Samuel 6:11	and they put the ark of Yehovah on the cart, and the box with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors.
1 Samuel 6:12	And the cows took the straight way by the way to Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
1 Samuel 6:13	And those of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
1 Samuel 6:14	And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they split the wood of the cart, and offered up the cows for a burnt-offering to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 6:15	And the Levites took down the ark of Yehovah, and the box that was with it, in which the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 6:16	And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
1 Samuel 6:17	And these are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass-offering to Yehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
1 Samuel 6:18	and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even to the great stone, on which they set down the ark of Yehovah, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite.
1 Samuel 6:19	And he struck some of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Yehovah, he struck of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Yehovah had struck the people with a great slaughter.
1 Samuel 6:20	And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Yehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
1 Samuel 6:21	And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of Yehovah; come down, and fetch it up to you.
1 Samuel 7:1	And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Yehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 7:2	And it happened, from the day that the ark remained in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yehovah.
1 Samuel 7:3	And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you are returning to Yehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:4	Then the children of Israel put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served Yehovah only.
1 Samuel 7:5	And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 7:6	And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Yehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
1 Samuel 7:7	And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:8	And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Do not cease to cry to Yehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:9	And Samuel took a nursing lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering to Yehovah: and Samuel cried to Yehovah for Israel; and Yehovah answered him.
1 Samuel 7:10	And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Yehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and threw them into confusion; and they were struck down before Israel.
1 Samuel 7:11	And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and struck them, until they came below Beth-car.
1 Samuel 7:12	Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Eben-ezer, saying, Thus far Yehovah has helped us.
1 Samuel 7:13	So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Yehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
1 Samuel 7:14	And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and their border Israel delivered out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
1 Samuel 7:15	And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1 Samuel 7:16	And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
1 Samuel 7:17	And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 8:1	And it happened, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1 Samuel 8:2	Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.
1 Samuel 8:3	And his sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
1 Samuel 8:4	Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel to Ramah;
1 Samuel 8:5	and they said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
1 Samuel 8:6	But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 8:7	And Yehovah said to Samuel, Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.
1 Samuel 8:8	According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also to you.
1 Samuel 8:9	Now therefore listen to their voice: however you shall solemnly warn them, and shall show them the manner of the king who shall reign over them.
1 Samuel 8:10	And Samuel told all the words of Yehovah to the people who asked of him a king.
1 Samuel 8:11	And he said, This will be the manner of the king who shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots;
1 Samuel 8:12	and he will appoint them for himself as captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and he will set some to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:13	And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
1 Samuel 8:14	And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive groves, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:15	And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:16	And he will take your male servants, and your female servants, and your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.
1 Samuel 8:17	He will take the tenth of your flocks: and you shall be his servants.
1 Samuel 8:18	And you shall cry out in that day because of your king whom you shall have chosen for yourselves; and Yehovah will not answer you in that day.
1 Samuel 8:19	But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us,
1 Samuel 8:20	that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
1 Samuel 8:21	And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the ears of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 8:22	And Yehovah said to Samuel, Listen to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go every man to his city.
1 Samuel 9:1	Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.
1 Samuel 9:2	And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice and handsome young man: and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.
1 Samuel 9:3	And the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go seek the donkeys.
1 Samuel 9:4	And he passed through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them: then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.
1 Samuel 9:5	When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, Come, and let us return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys, and be anxious for us.
1 Samuel 9:6	And he said to him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man who is held in honor; all that he says surely comes to pass: now let us go there; perhaps he can tell us concerning our journey on which we go.
1 Samuel 9:7	Then Saul said to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is used up in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what do we have?
1 Samuel 9:8	And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that I will give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
1 Samuel 9:9	(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he who is now called a Prophet was formerly called a Seer.)
1 Samuel 9:10	Then Saul said to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.
1 Samuel 9:11	As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young women going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?
1 Samuel 9:12	And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is ahead of you: hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.
1 Samuel 9:13	As soon as you have come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he blesses the sacrifice; and afterward those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you shall find him.
1 Samuel 9:14	And they went up to the city; and as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.
1 Samuel 9:15	Now Yehovah had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,
1 Samuel 9:16	Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.
1 Samuel 9:17	And when Samuel saw Saul, Yehovah said to him, Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! this one shall have authority over my people.
1 Samuel 9:18	Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Please tell me where the seer’s house is.
1 Samuel 9:19	And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is in your heart.
1 Samuel 9:20	And as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them; for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you, and for all your father’s house?
1 Samuel 9:21	And Saul answered and said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? why then do you speak to me in this way?
1 Samuel 9:22	And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the chief place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.
1 Samuel 9:23	And Samuel said to the cook, Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, Set it by you.
1 Samuel 9:24	And the cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold, that which has been reserved! set it before you and eat; because to the appointed time it has been kept for you, for I said, I have invited the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
1 Samuel 9:25	And when they had come down from the high place into the city, he spoke with Saul on the housetop.
1 Samuel 9:26	And they arose early: and it happened about the dawn of the day, that Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, Up, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and they both went out, he and Samuel, outside.
1 Samuel 9:27	As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Tell the servant to pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand still first, that I may cause you to hear the word of God.
1 Samuel 10:1	Then Samuel took the flask of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Yehovah has anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?
1 Samuel 10:2	When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel’s tomb, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and, look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
1 Samuel 10:3	Then you shall go on forward from there, and you shall come to the oak of Tabor; and three men going up to God to Beth-el shall meet you there, one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine:
1 Samuel 10:4	and they will greet you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.
1 Samuel 10:5	After that you shall come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:
1 Samuel 10:6	and the Spirit of Yehovah will come mightily upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.
1 Samuel 10:7	And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion requires; for God is with you.
1 Samuel 10:8	And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days you shall wait, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do.
1 Samuel 10:9	And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
1 Samuel 10:10	And when they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them.
1 Samuel 10:11	And it happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel 10:12	And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel 10:13	And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
1 Samuel 10:14	And Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did you go? And he said, To seek the donkeys; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.
1 Samuel 10:15	And Saul’s uncle said, Please tell me what Samuel said to you.
1 Samuel 10:16	And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he did not tell him.
1 Samuel 10:17	And Samuel called the people together to Yehovah to Mizpah;
1 Samuel 10:18	and he said to the children of Israel, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:
1 Samuel 10:19	but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Yehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
1 Samuel 10:20	So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
1 Samuel 10:21	And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found.
1 Samuel 10:22	Therefore they asked of Yehovah further, Is there yet a man to come here? And Yehovah answered, Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.
1 Samuel 10:23	And they ran and fetched him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
1 Samuel 10:24	And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see him whom Yehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, Long live the king.
1 Samuel 10:25	Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Yehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
1 Samuel 10:26	And Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and the host went with him, whose hearts God had touched.
1 Samuel 10:27	But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.
1 Samuel 11:1	Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.
1 Samuel 11:2	And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach on all Israel.
1 Samuel 11:3	And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is none to save us, we will come out to you.
1 Samuel 11:4	Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
1 Samuel 11:5	And, behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What is wrong with the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
1 Samuel 11:6	And the Spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
1 Samuel 11:7	And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the dread of Yehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
1 Samuel 11:8	And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
1 Samuel 11:9	And they said to the messengers who came, Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance. And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
1 Samuel 11:10	Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.
1 Samuel 11:11	And it was so the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that not two of them were left together.
1 Samuel 11:12	And the people said to Samuel, Who is he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
1 Samuel 11:13	And Saul said, Not a man shall be put to death this day; for today Yehovah has accomplished deliverance in Israel.
1 Samuel 11:14	Then Samuel said to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
1 Samuel 11:15	And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Yehovah in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace-offerings before Yehovah; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
1 Samuel 12:1	And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.
1 Samuel 12:2	And now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth to this day.
1 Samuel 12:3	Here I am: witness against me before Yehovah, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose donkey have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind my eyes with it? and I will restore it to you.
1 Samuel 12:4	And they said, You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from any man’s hand.
1 Samuel 12:5	And he said to them, Yehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand. And they said, He is witness.
1 Samuel 12:6	And Samuel said to the people, It is Yehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel 12:7	Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Yehovah concerning all the righteous acts of Yehovah, which he did to you and to your fathers.
1 Samuel 12:8	When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Yehovah, then Yehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought out your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
1 Samuel 12:9	But they forgot Yehovah their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
1 Samuel 12:10	And they cried to Yehovah, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Yehovah, and have served the Baalim and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.
1 Samuel 12:11	And Yehovah sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety.
1 Samuel 12:12	And when you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, you said to me, No, but a king shall reign over us; when Yehovah your God was your king.
1 Samuel 12:13	Now therefore behold the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have asked for: and, behold, Yehovah has set a king over you.
1 Samuel 12:14	If you will fear Yehovah, and serve him, and listen to his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Yehovah, and both you and also the king who reigns over you are followers of Yehovah your God, well:
1 Samuel 12:15	but if you will not listen to the voice of Yehovah, but rebel against the commandment of Yehovah, then the hand of Yehovah will be against you, as it was against your fathers.
1 Samuel 12:16	Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yehovah will do before your eyes.
1 Samuel 12:17	Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to Yehovah, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Yehovah, in asking for yourselves a king.
1 Samuel 12:18	So Samuel called to Yehovah; and Yehovah sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Yehovah and Samuel.
1 Samuel 12:19	And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to Yehovah your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.
1 Samuel 12:20	And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear: you have indeed done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following Yehovah, but serve Yehovah with all your heart:
1 Samuel 12:21	and do not turn aside; for then you would go after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
1 Samuel 12:22	For Yehovah will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yehovah to make you a people to himself.
1 Samuel 12:23	Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yehovah in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.
1 Samuel 12:24	Only fear Yehovah, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he has done for you.
1 Samuel 12:25	But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be consumed, both you and your king.
1 Samuel 13:1	Saul was forty years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
1 Samuel 13:2	Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
1 Samuel 13:3	And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
1 Samuel 13:4	And all Israel heard it said that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
1 Samuel 13:5	And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven.
1 Samuel 13:6	When the men of Israel saw that they were in a tight place (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in cellars, and in pits.
1 Samuel 13:7	Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
1 Samuel 13:8	And he waited seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
1 Samuel 13:9	And Saul said, Bring the burnt-offering here to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.
1 Samuel 13:10	And it happened that, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
1 Samuel 13:11	And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
1 Samuel 13:12	therefore I said, Now the Philistines will come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Yehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.
1 Samuel 13:13	And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of Yehovah your God, which he commanded you: for now Yehovah would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.
1 Samuel 13:14	But now your kingdom shall not continue: Yehovah has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yehovah has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yehovah commanded you.
1 Samuel 13:15	And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
1 Samuel 13:16	And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
1 Samuel 13:17	And the raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
1 Samuel 13:18	and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
1 Samuel 13:19	Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears:
1 Samuel 13:20	but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
1 Samuel 13:21	yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
1 Samuel 13:22	So it happened in the day of battle, that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son they were found.
1 Samuel 13:23	And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
1 Samuel 14:1	Now it happened one day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.
1 Samuel 14:2	And Saul stayed in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;
1 Samuel 14:3	and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
1 Samuel 14:4	And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky 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 other Seneh.
1 Samuel 14:5	The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
1 Samuel 14:6	And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Yehovah will work for us; for nothing restrains Yehovah from saving by many or by few.
1 Samuel 14:7	And his armorbearer said to him, Do all that is in your heart: turn, behold, I am with you according to your heart.
1 Samuel 14:8	Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will show ourselves to them.
1 Samuel 14:9	If they say thus to us, Wait until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
1 Samuel 14:10	But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up; for Yehovah has delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign to us.
1 Samuel 14:11	And both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves.
1 Samuel 14:12	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 to his armorbearer, Come up after me; for Yehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
1 Samuel 14:13	And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armorbearer killed them after him.
1 Samuel 14:14	And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
1 Samuel 14:15	And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the raiders, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was a very great trembling.
1 Samuel 14:16	And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.
1 Samuel 14:17	Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.
1 Samuel 14:18	And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring the ark of God here. For the ark of God was there at that time with the children of Israel.
1 Samuel 14:19	And it happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand.
1 Samuel 14:20	And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great confusion.
1 Samuel 14:21	Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
1 Samuel 14:22	Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
1 Samuel 14:23	So Yehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.
1 Samuel 14:24	And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
1 Samuel 14:25	And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
1 Samuel 14:26	And when the people had come to the forest, behold, the honey dripped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.
1 Samuel 14:27	But Jonathan did not hear when his father charged the people with the oath: therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
1 Samuel 14:28	Then one of the people answered, and said, Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day. And the people were faint.
1 Samuel 14:29	Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, please, how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
1 Samuel 14:30	How much more, if only the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.
1 Samuel 14:31	And they struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;
1 Samuel 14:32	and the people rushed upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
1 Samuel 14:33	Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Yehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, You have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone to me this day.
1 Samuel 14:34	And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against Yehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered them there.
1 Samuel 14:35	And Saul built an altar to Yehovah: it was the first altar that he built to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 14:36	And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to you. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.
1 Samuel 14:37	And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? will you deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
1 Samuel 14:38	And Saul said, Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see how this sin has arisen this day.
1 Samuel 14:39	For, as Yehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
1 Samuel 14:40	Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to you.
1 Samuel 14:41	Therefore Saul said to Yehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot; but the people escaped.
1 Samuel 14:42	And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
1 Samuel 14:43	Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, look, I must die.
1 Samuel 14:44	And Saul said, God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.
1 Samuel 14:45	And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Yehovah lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, so that he did not die.
1 Samuel 14:46	Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
1 Samuel 14:47	Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.
1 Samuel 14:48	And he acted valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
1 Samuel 14:49	Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
1 Samuel 14:50	and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
1 Samuel 14:51	And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
1 Samuel 14:52	And there was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
1 Samuel 15:1	And Samuel said to Saul, Yehovah sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore listen to the voice of the words of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 15:2	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
1 Samuel 15:3	Now go and strike Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them; but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.
1 Samuel 15:4	And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers, and ten thousand men of Judah.
1 Samuel 15:5	And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
1 Samuel 15:6	And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1 Samuel 15:7	And Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
1 Samuel 15:8	And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
1 Samuel 15:9	But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but everything that was despised and worthless, that they destroyed utterly.
1 Samuel 15:10	Then the word of Yehovah came to Samuel, saying,
1 Samuel 15:11	I regret that I have set up Saul to be king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. And Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yehovah all night.
1 Samuel 15:12	And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:13	And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed are you of Yehovah: I have performed the commandment of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 15:14	And Samuel said, What then does this bleating of the sheep in my ears mean, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
1 Samuel 15:15	And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Yehovah your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
1 Samuel 15:16	Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what Yehovah has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
1 Samuel 15:17	And Samuel said, Though you were little in your own sight, were you not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Yehovah anointed you king over Israel;
1 Samuel 15:18	and Yehovah sent you on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.
1 Samuel 15:19	Why then did you not obey the voice of Yehovah, but rushed upon the spoil, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah?
1 Samuel 15:20	And Saul said to Samuel, Indeed, I have obeyed the voice of Yehovah, and have gone the way which Yehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
1 Samuel 15:21	But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yehovah your God in Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:22	And Samuel said, Has Yehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
1 Samuel 15:23	For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of Yehovah, he has also rejected you from being king.
1 Samuel 15:24	And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yehovah, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
1 Samuel 15:25	Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yehovah.
1 Samuel 15:26	And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of Yehovah, and Yehovah has rejected you from being king over Israel.
1 Samuel 15:27	And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul laid hold of the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
1 Samuel 15:28	And Samuel said to him, Yehovah has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.
1 Samuel 15:29	And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
1 Samuel 15:30	Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yehovah your God.
1 Samuel 15:31	So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshiped Yehovah.
1 Samuel 15:32	Then Samuel said, Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
1 Samuel 15:33	And Samuel said, As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yehovah in Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:34	Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
1 Samuel 15:35	And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Yehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1 Samuel 16:1	And Yehovah said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill your horn with oil, and go: I will send you to Jesse the Beth-lehemite; for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.
1 Samuel 16:2	And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hears it, he will kill me. And Yehovah said, Take a heifer with you, and say, I have come to sacrifice to Yehovah.
1 Samuel 16:3	And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint for me him whom I name to you.
1 Samuel 16:4	And Samuel did that which Yehovah spoke, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Do you come peaceably?
1 Samuel 16:5	And he said, Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to Yehovah: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
1 Samuel 16:6	And it happened, when they had come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Yehovah’s anointed is before him.
1 Samuel 16:7	But Yehovah said to Samuel, Do not look on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Yehovah does not see as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but Yehovah looks on the heart.
1 Samuel 16:8	Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Yehovah chosen this.
1 Samuel 16:9	Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Yehovah chosen this.
1 Samuel 16:10	And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Yehovah has not chosen these.
1 Samuel 16:11	And Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.
1 Samuel 16:12	And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome to look upon. And Yehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.
1 Samuel 16:13	Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of Yehovah came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
1 Samuel 16:14	Now the Spirit of Yehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yehovah troubled him.
1 Samuel 16:15	And Saul’s servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
1 Samuel 16:16	Let our lord now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp: and it shall happen, when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
1 Samuel 16:17	And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.
1 Samuel 16:18	Then one of the young men answered, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and Yehovah is with him.
1 Samuel 16:19	Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.
1 Samuel 16:20	And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, and a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
1 Samuel 16:21	And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armorbearer.
1 Samuel 16:22	And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.
1 Samuel 16:23	And it happened, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
1 Samuel 17:1	Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
1 Samuel 17:2	And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
1 Samuel 17:3	And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
1 Samuel 17:4	And a champion went out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
1 Samuel 17:5	And he had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
1 Samuel 17:6	And he had greaves of bronze on his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
1 Samuel 17:7	And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield-bearer went before him.
1 Samuel 17:8	And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why have you come out to set your battle in array? am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
1 Samuel 17:9	If he is able to fight with me, and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you shall be our servants, and serve us.
1 Samuel 17:10	And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
1 Samuel 17:11	And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:12	Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken in years among men.
1 Samuel 17:13	And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
1 Samuel 17:14	And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
1 Samuel 17:15	Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
1 Samuel 17:16	And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
1 Samuel 17:17	And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
1 Samuel 17:18	and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
1 Samuel 17:19	Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
1 Samuel 17:20	And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the host which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
1 Samuel 17:21	And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
1 Samuel 17:22	And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
1 Samuel 17:23	And as he talked with them, behold, the champion came up, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
1 Samuel 17:24	And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:25	And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who has come up? surely to defy Israel he has come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
1 Samuel 17:26	And David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
1 Samuel 17:27	And the people answered him in this way, saying, So shall it be done to the man who kills him.
1 Samuel 17:28	And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why have you come down? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.
1 Samuel 17:29	And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
1 Samuel 17:30	And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way: and the people answered him again in the former way.
1 Samuel 17:31	And when the words were heard which David spoke, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
1 Samuel 17:32	And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
1 Samuel 17:33	And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
1 Samuel 17:34	And David said to Saul, Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion came, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
1 Samuel 17:35	I went out after him, and struck him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
1 Samuel 17:36	Your servant struck both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
1 Samuel 17:37	And David said, Yehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Yehovah shall be with you.
1 Samuel 17:38	And Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of mail.
1 Samuel 17:39	And David girded his sword over his armor, and he tried to go; for he had not tested it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not tested them. And David took them off.
1 Samuel 17:40	And he took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his pouch; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
1 Samuel 17:41	And the Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
1 Samuel 17:42	And when the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and also of a handsome appearance.
1 Samuel 17:43	And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1 Samuel 17:44	And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field.
1 Samuel 17:45	Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Yehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
1 Samuel 17:46	This day Yehovah will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
1 Samuel 17:47	and that all this assembly may know that Yehovah does not save with sword and spear: for the battle is Yehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand.
1 Samuel 17:48	And it happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
1 Samuel 17:49	And David put his hand in his bag, and took a stone from it, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
1 Samuel 17:50	So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
1 Samuel 17:51	Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
1 Samuel 17:52	And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
1 Samuel 17:53	And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
1 Samuel 17:54	And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
1 Samuel 17:55	And when Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.
1 Samuel 17:56	And the king said, Inquire whose son the young man is.
1 Samuel 17:57	And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
1 Samuel 17:58	And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
1 Samuel 18:1	And it happened, when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel 18:2	And Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore.
1 Samuel 18:3	Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel 18:4	And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his belt.
1 Samuel 18:5	And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
1 Samuel 18:6	And it happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
1 Samuel 18:7	And the women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands.
1 Samuel 18:8	And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what more can he have but the kingdom?
1 Samuel 18:9	And Saul eyed David from that day forward.
1 Samuel 18:10	And it happened the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. And Saul had his spear in his hand;
1 Samuel 18:11	and Saul hurled the spear; for he said, I will pin David to the wall. And David evaded him twice.
1 Samuel 18:12	And Saul was afraid of David, because Yehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
1 Samuel 18:13	Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
1 Samuel 18:14	And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yehovah was with him.
1 Samuel 18:15	And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
1 Samuel 18:16	But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
1 Samuel 18:17	And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her I will give you as a wife: only be valiant for me, and fight Yehovah’s battles. For Saul said, Do not let my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
1 Samuel 18:18	And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?
1 Samuel 18:19	But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
1 Samuel 18:20	And Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
1 Samuel 18:21	And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time.
1 Samuel 18:22	And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you: now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.
1 Samuel 18:23	And Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
1 Samuel 18:24	And the servants of Saul told him, saying, In this way David spoke.
1 Samuel 18:25	And Saul said, Thus you shall say to David, The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 18:26	And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. And the days had not expired;
1 Samuel 18:27	and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.
1 Samuel 18:28	And Saul saw and knew that Yehovah was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
1 Samuel 18:29	And Saul was still more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
1 Samuel 18:30	Then the princes of the Philistines went out: and it happened, as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
1 Samuel 19:1	And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David.
1 Samuel 19:2	And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeks to kill you: now therefore, please take heed to yourself in the morning, and stay in a secret place, and hide yourself:
1 Samuel 19:3	and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.
1 Samuel 19:4	And Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you:
1 Samuel 19:5	for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yehovah accomplished a great victory for all Israel: you saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?
1 Samuel 19:6	And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As Yehovah lives, he shall not be put to death.
1 Samuel 19:7	And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
1 Samuel 19:8	And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
1 Samuel 19:9	And an evil spirit from Yehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
1 Samuel 19:10	And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
1 Samuel 19:11	And Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning: and Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.
1 Samuel 19:12	So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
1 Samuel 19:13	And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
1 Samuel 19:14	And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
1 Samuel 19:15	And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him.
1 Samuel 19:16	And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’ hair at its head.
1 Samuel 19:17	And Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go; why should I kill you?
1 Samuel 19:18	Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
1 Samuel 19:19	And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel 19:20	And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel 19:21	And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel 19:22	Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel 19:23	And he went there to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel 19:24	And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel 20:1	And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
1 Samuel 20:2	And he said to him, Far from it; you shall not die: behold, my father does nothing either great or small, without disclosing it to me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
1 Samuel 20:3	And David swore moreover, and said, Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
1 Samuel 20:4	Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
1 Samuel 20:5	And David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at the meal: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third day at evening.
1 Samuel 20:6	If your father misses me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
1 Samuel 20:7	If he says thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
1 Samuel 20:8	Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yehovah with you: but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
1 Samuel 20:9	And Jonathan said, Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon you, would I not tell it to you?
1 Samuel 20:10	Then David said to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perhaps your father answers you roughly?
1 Samuel 20:11	And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they both went out into the field.
1 Samuel 20:12	And Jonathan said to David, Yehovah, the God of Israel, be witness: when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, shall I not then send to you, and disclose it to you?
1 Samuel 20:13	Yehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I do not disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and Yehovah be with you, as he has been with my father.
1 Samuel 20:14	And you shall not only while I still live show me the lovingkindness of Yehovah, that I may not die;
1 Samuel 20:15	but also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no, not when Yehovah has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
1 Samuel 20:16	So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And Yehovah will require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
1 Samuel 20:17	And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
1 Samuel 20:18	Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
1 Samuel 20:19	And when you have stayed three days, you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you hid yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
1 Samuel 20:20	And I will shoot three arrows to its side, as though I shot at a mark.
1 Samuel 20:21	And, behold, I will send the boy, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I say to the boy, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you; take them, and come; for there is peace to you and no harm, as Yehovah lives.
1 Samuel 20:22	But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way; for Yehovah has sent you away.
1 Samuel 20:23	And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yehovah is between you and me forever.
1 Samuel 20:24	So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat down to eat food.
1 Samuel 20:25	And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty.
1 Samuel 20:26	Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day: for he thought, Something has happened to him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
1 Samuel 20:27	And it happened the next day after the new moon, which was the second day, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why does the son of Jesse not come to the meal, neither yesterday, nor today?
1 Samuel 20:28	And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:
1 Samuel 20:29	and he said, Please let me go; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away, and see my brothers. Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.
1 Samuel 20:30	Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of a perverse rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?
1 Samuel 20:31	For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Therefore now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
1 Samuel 20:32	And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? what has he done?
1 Samuel 20:33	And Saul cast his spear at him to strike him; by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
1 Samuel 20:34	So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.
1 Samuel 20:35	And it happened in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.
1 Samuel 20:36	And he said to his boy, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
1 Samuel 20:37	And when the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
1 Samuel 20:38	And Jonathan cried after the boy, Make speed, hurry, do not stay. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
1 Samuel 20:39	But the boy did not know anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
1 Samuel 20:40	And Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
1 Samuel 20:41	And as soon as the boy had gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David wept the more.
1 Samuel 20:42	And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of Yehovah, saying, Yehovah shall be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed, forever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
1 Samuel 21:1	Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with you?
1 Samuel 21:2	And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.
1 Samuel 21:3	Now therefore what is under your hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present.
1 Samuel 21:4	And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
1 Samuel 21:5	And David answered the priest, and said to him, Truly women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then today shall their vessels be holy?
1 Samuel 21:6	So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before Yehovah, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
1 Samuel 21:7	Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yehovah; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
1 Samuel 21:8	And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under your hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
1 Samuel 21:9	And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if you will take that, take it; for there is no other except that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me.
1 Samuel 21:10	And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:11	And the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
1 Samuel 21:12	And David laid up these words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:13	And he changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
1 Samuel 21:14	Then Achish said to his servants, Look, you see the man is mad; why then have you brought him to me?
1 Samuel 21:15	Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
1 Samuel 22:1	David therefore departed from there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
1 Samuel 22:2	And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
1 Samuel 22:3	And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Please let my father and my mother come out, and be with you, until I know what God will do for me.
1 Samuel 22:4	And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
1 Samuel 22:5	And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Heres.
1 Samuel 22:6	And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
1 Samuel 22:7	And Saul said to his servants who stood around him, Hear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
1 Samuel 22:8	that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1 Samuel 22:9	Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
1 Samuel 22:10	And he inquired of Yehovah for him, and gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
1 Samuel 22:11	Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob: and they all came to the king.
1 Samuel 22:12	And Saul said, Hear now, you son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
1 Samuel 22:13	And Saul said to him, Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1 Samuel 22:14	Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into your council, and is honorable in your house?
1 Samuel 22:15	Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? far be it from me: do not let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.
1 Samuel 22:16	And the king said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.
1 Samuel 22:17	And the king said to the guard who stood around him, Turn, and kill the priests of Yehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to fall upon the priests of Yehovah.
1 Samuel 22:18	And the king said to Doeg, Turn, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod.
1 Samuel 22:19	And Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
1 Samuel 22:20	And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
1 Samuel 22:21	And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yehovah’s priests.
1 Samuel 22:22	And David said to Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have caused the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
1 Samuel 22:23	Stay with me, do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life: for with me you shall be in safekeeping.
1 Samuel 23:1	And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors.
1 Samuel 23:2	Therefore David inquired of Yehovah, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And Yehovah said to David, Go, and strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.
1 Samuel 23:3	And David’s men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
1 Samuel 23:4	Then David inquired of Yehovah once again. And Yehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.
1 Samuel 23:5	And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
1 Samuel 23:6	And it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
1 Samuel 23:7	And it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars.
1 Samuel 23:8	And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
1 Samuel 23:9	And David knew that Saul was devising evil against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod here.
1 Samuel 23:10	Then David said, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
1 Samuel 23:11	Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? O Yehovah, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant. And Yehovah said, He will come down.
1 Samuel 23:12	Then David said, Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Yehovah said, They will deliver you up.
1 Samuel 23:13	Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. And it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going out.
1 Samuel 23:14	And David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
1 Samuel 23:15	And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
1 Samuel 23:16	And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
1 Samuel 23:17	And he said to him, Do not fear; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; and Saul my father also knows that.
1 Samuel 23:18	And the two of them made a covenant before Yehovah: and David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his house.
1 Samuel 23:19	Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Is not David hiding himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
1 Samuel 23:20	Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.
1 Samuel 23:21	And Saul said, Blessed are you of Yehovah; for you have had compassion on me.
1 Samuel 23:22	Go, please, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he deals very cunningly.
1 Samuel 23:23	See therefore, and take knowledge of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.
1 Samuel 23:24	And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
1 Samuel 23:25	And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David: therefore he came down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
1 Samuel 23:26	And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men to take them.
1 Samuel 23:27	But a messenger came to Saul, saying, Hurry, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.
1 Samuel 23:28	So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
1 Samuel 23:29	And David went up from there, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
1 Samuel 24:1	And it happened, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.
1 Samuel 24:2	Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
1 Samuel 24:3	And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were staying in the innermost parts of the cave.
1 Samuel 24:4	And the men of David said to him, Behold, the day of which Yehovah said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe secretly.
1 Samuel 24:5	And it happened afterward, that David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
1 Samuel 24:6	And he said to his men, Yehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, Yehovah’s anointed, to put out my hand against him, seeing he is Yehovah’s anointed.
1 Samuel 24:7	So David restrained his men with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
1 Samuel 24:8	David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and paid homage.
1 Samuel 24:9	And David said to Saul, Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeks your harm?
1 Samuel 24:10	Behold, this day your eyes have seen how Yehovah had delivered you today into my hand in the cave: and some told me to kill you; but my eye spared you; and I said, I will not put out my hand against my lord; for he is Yehovah’s anointed.
1 Samuel 24:11	Moreover, my father, see, indeed, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt after my life to take it.
1 Samuel 24:12	Yehovah judge between me and you, and Yehovah avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be upon you.
1 Samuel 24:13	As the proverb of the ancients says, Out of the wicked comes wickedness; but my hand shall not be upon you.
1 Samuel 24:14	After whom has the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
1 Samuel 24:15	Yehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
1 Samuel 24:16	And it happened, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
1 Samuel 24:17	And he said to David, You are more righteous than I; for you have rendered to me good, whereas I have rendered to you evil.
1 Samuel 24:18	And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, since when Yehovah had delivered me up into your hand, you did not kill me.
1 Samuel 24:19	For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? therefore may Yehovah reward you with good for that which you have done to me this day.
1 Samuel 24:20	And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
1 Samuel 24:21	Swear now therefore to me by Yehovah, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
1 Samuel 24:22	And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
1 Samuel 25:1	And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
1 Samuel 25:2	And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
1 Samuel 25:3	Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was harsh and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
1 Samuel 25:4	And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
1 Samuel 25:5	And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
1 Samuel 25:6	and thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity, Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
1 Samuel 25:7	And now I have heard that you have shearers: your shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no harm, neither was there anything missing for them, all the while they were in Carmel.
1 Samuel 25:8	Ask your young men, and they will tell you: therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a good day: please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.
1 Samuel 25:9	And when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and waited.
1 Samuel 25:10	And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants nowadays who break away every man from his master.
1 Samuel 25:11	Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I do not know where they are from?
1 Samuel 25:12	So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
1 Samuel 25:13	And David said to his men, Every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and about four hundred men went up after David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
1 Samuel 25:14	But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.
1 Samuel 25:15	But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, neither did we miss anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields:
1 Samuel 25:16	they were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
1 Samuel 25:17	Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one cannot speak to him.
1 Samuel 25:18	Then Abigail hurried, and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep ready prepared, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
1 Samuel 25:19	And she said to her young men, Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
1 Samuel 25:20	And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the cover of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
1 Samuel 25:21	Now David had said, Surely in vain I have kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he has returned me evil for good.
1 Samuel 25:22	God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all who pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.
1 Samuel 25:23	And when Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got down from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
1 Samuel 25:24	And she fell at his feet, and said, On me, my lord, on me be the iniquity; and please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.
1 Samuel 25:25	Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.
1 Samuel 25:26	Now therefore, my lord, as Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, seeing Yehovah has withheld you from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
1 Samuel 25:27	And now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
1 Samuel 25:28	Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant: for Yehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Yehovah; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.
1 Samuel 25:29	And though men have risen up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Yehovah your God; and the souls of your enemies, them he shall sling out, as from the hollow of a sling.
1 Samuel 25:30	And it shall happen, when Yehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,
1 Samuel 25:31	that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Yehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant.
1 Samuel 25:32	And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me:
1 Samuel 25:33	and blessed be your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
1 Samuel 25:34	For in very deed, as Yehovah, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.
1 Samuel 25:35	So David received from her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and have accepted your person.
1 Samuel 25:36	And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk: therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
1 Samuel 25:37	And it happened in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
1 Samuel 25:38	And it happened about ten days later, that Yehovah struck Nabal, so that he died.
1 Samuel 25:39	And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Yehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal Yehovah has returned on his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as a wife.
1 Samuel 25:40	And when the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself as a wife.
1 Samuel 25:41	And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your maidservant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
1 Samuel 25:42	And Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five young women of hers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
1 Samuel 25:43	David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
1 Samuel 25:44	Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
1 Samuel 26:1	And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Is not David hiding himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?
1 Samuel 26:2	Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
1 Samuel 26:3	And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
1 Samuel 26:4	David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
1 Samuel 26:5	And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped all around him.
1 Samuel 26:6	Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.
1 Samuel 26:7	So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay all around him.
1 Samuel 26:8	Then Abishai said to David, God has delivered up your enemy into your hand this day: now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.
1 Samuel 26:9	And David said to Abishai, Do not destroy him; for who can put out his hand against Yehovah’s anointed, and be guiltless?
1 Samuel 26:10	And David said, As Yehovah lives, Yehovah will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.
1 Samuel 26:11	Yehovah forbid that I should put out my hand against Yehovah’s anointed: but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar of water, and let us go.
1 Samuel 26:12	So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and they went away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Yehovah had fallen on them.
1 Samuel 26:13	Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain far away; a great space being between them;
1 Samuel 26:14	and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Do you not answer, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who are you who cry to the king?
1 Samuel 26:15	And David said to Abner, Are you not a valiant man? and who is like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
1 Samuel 26:16	This thing is not good that you have done. As Yehovah lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, Yehovah’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.
1 Samuel 26:17	And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this your voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
1 Samuel 26:18	And he said, Why does my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?
1 Samuel 26:19	Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is Yehovah who has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it is the children of men, cursed be they before Yehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cling to the inheritance of Yehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
1 Samuel 26:20	Now therefore, do not let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Yehovah: for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.
1 Samuel 26:21	Then Saul said, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred greatly.
1 Samuel 26:22	And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
1 Samuel 26:23	And Yehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; since Yehovah delivered you into my hand today, and I would not put out my hand against Yehovah’s anointed.
1 Samuel 26:24	And, behold, as your life was highly valued this day in my eyes, so let my life be highly valued in the eyes of Yehovah, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
1 Samuel 26:25	Then Saul said to David, Blessed are you, my son David: you shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
1 Samuel 27:1	And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in all the borders of Israel: so I shall escape out of his hand.
1 Samuel 27:2	And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
1 Samuel 27:3	And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
1 Samuel 27:4	And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath: and he sought for him no more.
1 Samuel 27:5	And David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?
1 Samuel 27:6	Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.
1 Samuel 27:7	And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
1 Samuel 27:8	And David and his men went up, and made a raid on the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those nations were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as you go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel 27:9	And David struck the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the clothing; and he returned, and came to Achish.
1 Samuel 27:10	And Achish said, Against whom have you made a raid today? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.
1 Samuel 27:11	And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so has been his manner all the while he has dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 27:12	And Achish believed David, saying, He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant forever.
1 Samuel 28:1	And it happened in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, Know assuredly, that you shall go out with me in the host, you and your men.
1 Samuel 28:2	And David said to Achish, Therefore you shall know what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore I will make you keeper of my head forever.
1 Samuel 28:3	Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
1 Samuel 28:4	And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
1 Samuel 28:5	And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
1 Samuel 28:6	And when Saul inquired of Yehovah, Yehovah did not answer him, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
1 Samuel 28:7	Then Saul said to his servants, Seek me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at En-dor.
1 Samuel 28:8	And Saul disguised himself, and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Please divine for me by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you.
1 Samuel 28:9	And the woman said to him, Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
1 Samuel 28:10	And Saul swore to her by Yehovah, saying, As Yehovah lives, no punishment shall happen to you for this thing.
1 Samuel 28:11	Then the woman said, Whom shall I bring up to you? And he said, Bring up Samuel for me.
1 Samuel 28:12	And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why have you deceived me? for you are Saul.
1 Samuel 28:13	And the king said to her, Do not be afraid: for what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
1 Samuel 28:14	And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, An old man is coming up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and paid homage.
1 Samuel 28:15	And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I shall do.
1 Samuel 28:16	And Samuel said, Why then do you ask of me, seeing Yehovah has departed from you, and has become your adversary?
1 Samuel 28:17	And Yehovah has done to you, as he spoke by me: and Yehovah has torn the kingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David.
1 Samuel 28:18	Because you did not obey the voice of Yehovah, and did not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore Yehovah has done this thing to you this day.
1 Samuel 28:19	Moreover Yehovah will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me: Yehovah will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 28:20	Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was greatly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
1 Samuel 28:21	And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was greatly troubled, and said to him, Behold, your maidservant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
1 Samuel 28:22	Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength, when you go on your way.
1 Samuel 28:23	But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he listened to their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat on the bed.
1 Samuel 28:24	And the woman had a fattened calf in the house; and she hurried, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it:
1 Samuel 28:25	and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
1 Samuel 29:1	Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts at Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
1 Samuel 29:2	And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
1 Samuel 29:3	Then the princes of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he deserted to me to this day?
1 Samuel 29:4	But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men?
1 Samuel 29:5	Is this not David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands?
1 Samuel 29:6	Then Achish called David, and said to him, As Yehovah lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords do not favor you.
1 Samuel 29:7	Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 29:8	And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
1 Samuel 29:9	And Achish answered and said to David, I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God: nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
1 Samuel 29:10	Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
1 Samuel 29:11	So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
1 Samuel 30:1	And it happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
1 Samuel 30:2	and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great: they did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
1 Samuel 30:3	And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
1 Samuel 30:4	Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
1 Samuel 30:5	And David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
1 Samuel 30:6	And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke 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 Yehovah his God.
1 Samuel 30:7	And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Please bring the ephod here to me. And Abiathar brought the ephod there to David.
1 Samuel 30:8	And David inquired of Yehovah, saying, If I pursue after this band, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.
1 Samuel 30:9	So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
1 Samuel 30:10	But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
1 Samuel 30:11	And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink;
1 Samuel 30:12	and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
1 Samuel 30:13	And David said to him, To whom do you belong? and where are you from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
1 Samuel 30:14	We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
1 Samuel 30:15	And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this band? And he said, Swear to me by God, that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this band.
1 Samuel 30:16	And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
1 Samuel 30:17	And David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
1 Samuel 30:18	And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
1 Samuel 30:19	And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken for themselves: David brought back all.
1 Samuel 30:20	And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
1 Samuel 30:21	And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him: and when David came near to the people, he greeted them.
1 Samuel 30:22	Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows, of those who went with David, answered, and said, Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.
1 Samuel 30:23	Then David said, You shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Yehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the band that came against us into our hand.
1 Samuel 30:24	And who will listen to you in this matter? for as is the share of him who goes down to the battle, so shall be the share of him who stays by the baggage: they shall share alike.
1 Samuel 30:25	And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
1 Samuel 30:26	And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yehovah:
1 Samuel 30:27	to those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
1 Samuel 30:28	and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
1 Samuel 30:29	and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
1 Samuel 30:30	and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor-ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
1 Samuel 30:31	and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to roam.
1 Samuel 31:1	Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel 31:2	And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
1 Samuel 31:3	And the battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
1 Samuel 31:4	Then Saul said to his armorbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
1 Samuel 31:5	And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
1 Samuel 31:6	So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armorbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
1 Samuel 31:7	And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
1 Samuel 31:8	And it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel 31:9	And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols, and to the people.
1 Samuel 31:10	And they put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
1 Samuel 31:11	And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
1 Samuel 31:12	all the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh, and burned them there.
1 Samuel 31:13	And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
2 Samuel 1:1	And it happened after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;
2 Samuel 1:2	it happened on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and paid homage.
2 Samuel 1:3	And David said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.
2 Samuel 1:4	And David said to him, How did the matter go? Please tell me. And he answered, The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
2 Samuel 1:5	And David said to the young man who told him, How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
2 Samuel 1:6	And the young man who told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, look, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.
2 Samuel 1:7	And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. And I answered, Here am I.
2 Samuel 1:8	And he said to me, Who are you? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
2 Samuel 1:9	And he said to me, Please stand beside me, and slay me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is still whole in me.
2 Samuel 1:10	So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.
2 Samuel 1:11	Then David took hold of his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him:
2 Samuel 1:12	and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they had fallen by the sword.
2 Samuel 1:13	And David said to the young man who told him, Where are you from? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.
2 Samuel 1:14	And David said to him, How were you not afraid to put out your hand to destroy Yehovah’s anointed?
2 Samuel 1:15	And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he struck him, so that he died.
2 Samuel 1:16	And David said to him, Your blood be upon your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain Yehovah’s anointed.
2 Samuel 1:17	And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
2 Samuel 1:18	(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
2 Samuel 1:19	Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your high places! How are the mighty fallen!
2 Samuel 1:20	Do not tell it in Gath, Do not publish it in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2 Samuel 1:21	You mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, nor fields of offerings: For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
2 Samuel 1:22	From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return empty.
2 Samuel 1:23	Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they were not divided: They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.
2 Samuel 1:24	You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet delicately, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
2 Samuel 1:25	How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon your high places.
2 Samuel 1:26	I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan: Very pleasant have you been to me: Your love to me was wonderful, Surpassing the love of women.
2 Samuel 1:27	How are the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished!
2 Samuel 2:1	And it happened after this, that David inquired of Yehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Yehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
2 Samuel 2:2	So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
2 Samuel 2:3	And his men who were with him David brought up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
2 Samuel 2:4	And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were those who buried Saul.
2 Samuel 2:5	And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, Blessed are you by Yehovah, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
2 Samuel 2:6	And now may Yehovah show lovingkindness and truth to you: and I also will repay you this kindness, because you have done this thing.
2 Samuel 2:7	Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
2 Samuel 2:8	Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
2 Samuel 2:9	and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
2 Samuel 2:10	Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
2 Samuel 2:11	And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
2 Samuel 2:12	And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:13	And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
2 Samuel 2:14	And Abner said to Joab, Please let the young men arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
2 Samuel 2:15	Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
2 Samuel 2:16	And they caught each one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:17	And the battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
2 Samuel 2:18	And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
2 Samuel 2:19	And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
2 Samuel 2:20	Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it you, Asahel? And he answered, It is I.
2 Samuel 2:21	And Abner said to him, Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
2 Samuel 2:22	And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn aside from following me: why should I strike you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
2 Samuel 2:23	However he refused to turn aside: therefore Abner with the butt end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
2 Samuel 2:24	But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:25	And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
2 Samuel 2:26	Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour forever? do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you command the people to return from following their brothers?
2 Samuel 2:27	And Joab said, As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not followed each one his brother.
2 Samuel 2:28	So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, nor did they fight any more.
2 Samuel 2:29	And Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
2 Samuel 2:30	And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
2 Samuel 2:31	But the servants of David had struck down of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and sixty men died.
2 Samuel 2:32	And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke upon them at Hebron.
2 Samuel 3:1	Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: and David grew stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 Samuel 3:2	And to David were sons born in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2 Samuel 3:3	and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2 Samuel 3:4	and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
2 Samuel 3:5	and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
2 Samuel 3:6	And it happened, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul.
2 Samuel 3:7	Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?
2 Samuel 3:8	Then Abner was very angry for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? This day I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
2 Samuel 3:9	God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Yehovah has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
2 Samuel 3:10	to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba.
2 Samuel 3:11	And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
2 Samuel 3:12	And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make your league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with you, to bring over all Israel to you.
2 Samuel 3:13	And he said, Well; I will make a league with you; but one thing I require of you: that is, you shall not see my face, unless you first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when you come to see my face.
2 Samuel 3:14	And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
2 Samuel 3:15	And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish.
2 Samuel 3:16	And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, Go, return: and he returned.
2 Samuel 3:17	And Abner conferred with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past you sought for David to be king over you:
2 Samuel 3:18	now then do it; for Yehovah has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
2 Samuel 3:19	And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
2 Samuel 3:20	So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
2 Samuel 3:21	And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
2 Samuel 3:22	And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
2 Samuel 3:23	When Joab and all the host that was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.
2 Samuel 3:24	Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? behold, Abner came to you; why is it that you have sent him away, and he is completely gone?
2 Samuel 3:25	You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.
2 Samuel 3:26	And when Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David did not know it.
2 Samuel 3:27	And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
2 Samuel 3:28	And afterward, when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Yehovah forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
2 Samuel 3:29	let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.
2 Samuel 3:30	So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
2 Samuel 3:31	And David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, Tear your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.
2 Samuel 3:32	And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
2 Samuel 3:33	And the king lamented for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as a fool dies?
2 Samuel 3:34	Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put into fetters: As a man falls before the children of iniquity, so you fell. And all the people wept again over him.
2 Samuel 3:35	And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was still day; but David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down.
2 Samuel 3:36	And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.
2 Samuel 3:37	So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king’s will to slay Abner the son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3:38	And the king said to his servants, Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
2 Samuel 3:39	And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me: may Yehovah reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
2 Samuel 4:1	And when Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 Samuel 4:2	And Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, had two men who were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin:
2 Samuel 4:3	and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day).
2 Samuel 4:4	Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel 4:5	And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon.
2 Samuel 4:6	And they came there into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they struck him in the body: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
2 Samuel 4:7	Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they struck him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
2 Samuel 4:8	And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold, the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life; and Yehovah has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
2 Samuel 4:9	And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As Yehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
2 Samuel 4:10	when one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings.
2 Samuel 4:11	How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hand, and take you away from the earth?
2 Samuel 4:12	And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
2 Samuel 5:1	Then all the tribes of Israel came to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Samuel 5:2	In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel: and Yehovah said to you, You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.
2 Samuel 5:3	So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yehovah: and they anointed David king over Israel.
2 Samuel 5:4	David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
2 Samuel 5:5	In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel 5:6	And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, Unless you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here; thinking, David cannot come in here.
2 Samuel 5:7	Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; that is the city of David.
2 Samuel 5:8	And David said on that day, Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, who are hated by David’s soul. Therefore they say, There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house.
2 Samuel 5:9	And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built all around from Millo and inward.
2 Samuel 5:10	And David became greater and greater; for Yehovah, the God of hosts, was with him.
2 Samuel 5:11	And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
2 Samuel 5:12	And David perceived that Yehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
2 Samuel 5:13	And David took more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were still more sons and daughters born to David.
2 Samuel 5:14	And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
2 Samuel 5:15	and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
2 Samuel 5:16	and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
2 Samuel 5:17	And when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
2 Samuel 5:18	Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 5:19	And David inquired of Yehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? will you deliver them into my hand? And Yehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand.
2 Samuel 5:20	And David came to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there; and he said, Yehovah has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
2 Samuel 5:21	And they left their images there; and David and his men took them away.
2 Samuel 5:22	And the Philistines came up again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 5:23	And when David inquired of Yehovah, he said, You shall not go up: make a circuit behind them, and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
2 Samuel 5:24	And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then you shall rouse yourself; for then Yehovah has gone out before you to strike the host of the Philistines.
2 Samuel 5:25	And David did so, as Yehovah commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gezer.
2 Samuel 6:1	And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Samuel 6:2	And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yehovah of hosts that sits above the cherubim.
2 Samuel 6:3	And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
2 Samuel 6:4	And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
2 Samuel 6:5	And David and all the house of Israel played before Yehovah with all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
2 Samuel 6:6	And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
2 Samuel 6:7	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
2 Samuel 6:8	And David was displeased, because Yehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-uzzah, to this day.
2 Samuel 6:9	And David was afraid of Yehovah that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Yehovah come to me?
2 Samuel 6:10	So David would not remove the ark of Yehovah to him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
2 Samuel 6:11	And the ark of Yehovah remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and Yehovah blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
2 Samuel 6:12	And it was told king David, saying, Yehovah has blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.
2 Samuel 6:13	And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
2 Samuel 6:14	And David danced before Yehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
2 Samuel 6:15	So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
2 Samuel 6:16	And it was so, as the ark of Yehovah came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yehovah; and she despised him in her heart.
2 Samuel 6:17	And they brought in the ark of Yehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Yehovah.
2 Samuel 6:18	And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yehovah of hosts.
2 Samuel 6:19	And he distributed among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to each one a cake of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed each one to his house.
2 Samuel 6:20	Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!
2 Samuel 6:21	And David said to Michal, It was before Yehovah, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yehovah, over Israel: therefore I will play before Yehovah.
2 Samuel 6:22	And I will be even more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight: but of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.
2 Samuel 6:23	And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
2 Samuel 7:1	And it happened, when the king dwelt in his house, and Yehovah had given him rest from all his enemies around,
2 Samuel 7:2	that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
2 Samuel 7:3	And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yehovah is with you.
2 Samuel 7:4	And it happened the same night, that the word of Yehovah came to Nathan, saying,
2 Samuel 7:5	Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Yehovah, Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
2 Samuel 7:6	for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2 Samuel 7:7	In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
2 Samuel 7:8	Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel;
2 Samuel 7:9	and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones that are in the earth.
2 Samuel 7:10	And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
2 Samuel 7:11	and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yehovah tells you that Yehovah will make you a house.
2 Samuel 7:12	When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, that shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
2 Samuel 7:13	He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
2 Samuel 7:14	I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
2 Samuel 7:15	but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
2 Samuel 7:16	And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you: your throne shall be established forever.
2 Samuel 7:17	According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
2 Samuel 7:18	Then David the king went in, and sat before Yehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Yehovah, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
2 Samuel 7:19	And this was still a small thing in your eyes, O Lord Yehovah; but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord Yehovah!
2 Samuel 7:20	And what more can David say to you? for you know your servant, O Lord Yehovah.
2 Samuel 7:21	For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
2 Samuel 7:22	Therefore you are great, O Yehovah God: for there is none like you, nor is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel 7:23	And what one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to you out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
2 Samuel 7:24	And you established for yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yehovah, became their God.
2 Samuel 7:25	And now, O Yehovah God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
2 Samuel 7:26	And let your name be magnified forever, saying, Yehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
2 Samuel 7:27	For you, O Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you a house: therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
2 Samuel 7:28	And now, O Lord Yehovah, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant:
2 Samuel 7:29	now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, O Lord Yehovah, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed forever.
2 Samuel 8:1	And after this it happened, that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Samuel 8:2	And he struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.
2 Samuel 8:3	David also struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.
2 Samuel 8:4	And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.
2 Samuel 8:5	And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck down of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
2 Samuel 8:6	Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Yehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.
2 Samuel 8:7	And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 8:8	And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a great quantity of bronze.
2 Samuel 8:9	And when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck down all the host of Hadadezer,
2 Samuel 8:10	then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him down: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze:
2 Samuel 8:11	these also king David dedicated to Yehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;
2 Samuel 8:12	of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
2 Samuel 8:13	And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.
2 Samuel 8:14	And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Yehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.
2 Samuel 8:15	And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness to all his people.
2 Samuel 8:16	And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
2 Samuel 8:17	and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
2 Samuel 8:18	and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
2 Samuel 9:1	And David said, Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?
2 Samuel 9:2	And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, Your servant is he.
2 Samuel 9:3	And the king said, Is there not still anyone of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God to him? And Ziba said to the king, Jonathan still has a son, who is lame of his feet.
2 Samuel 9:4	And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar.
2 Samuel 9:5	Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar.
2 Samuel 9:6	And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, and fell on his face, and paid homage. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold, your servant!
2 Samuel 9:7	And David said to him, Do not fear; for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.
2 Samuel 9:8	And he paid homage, and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I am?
2 Samuel 9:9	Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s son.
2 Samuel 9:10	And you shall till the land for him, you, and your sons, and your servants; and you shall bring in the fruits, that your master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth your master’s son shall always eat bread at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
2 Samuel 9:11	Then Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so shall your servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
2 Samuel 9:12	And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel 9:13	So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet.
2 Samuel 10:1	And it happened after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Samuel 10:2	And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel 10:3	But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? has not David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
2 Samuel 10:4	So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
2 Samuel 10:5	When they told it to David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.
2 Samuel 10:6	And when the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
2 Samuel 10:7	And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
2 Samuel 10:8	And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
2 Samuel 10:9	Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
2 Samuel 10:10	and the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel 10:11	And he said, If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
2 Samuel 10:12	Be of good courage, and let us show ourselves men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and may Yehovah do that which seems good to him.
2 Samuel 10:13	So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
2 Samuel 10:14	And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 10:15	And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
2 Samuel 10:16	And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
2 Samuel 10:17	And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
2 Samuel 10:18	And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their host, so that he died there.
2 Samuel 10:19	And when all the kings who were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
2 Samuel 11:1	And it happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 11:2	And it happened at evening, that David arose from his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
2 Samuel 11:3	And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
2 Samuel 11:4	And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house.
2 Samuel 11:5	And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
2 Samuel 11:6	And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
2 Samuel 11:7	And when Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab was doing, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
2 Samuel 11:8	And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a portion of food from the king.
2 Samuel 11:9	But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
2 Samuel 11:10	And when they had told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
2 Samuel 11:11	And Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.
2 Samuel 11:12	And David said to Uriah, Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
2 Samuel 11:13	And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
2 Samuel 11:14	And it happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
2 Samuel 11:15	And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and withdraw from him, that he may be struck down, and die.
2 Samuel 11:16	And it happened, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
2 Samuel 11:17	And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
2 Samuel 11:18	Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
2 Samuel 11:19	and he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
2 Samuel 11:20	it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arises, and he says to you, Why did you go so near to the city to fight? did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
2 Samuel 11:21	who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? then you shall say, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2 Samuel 11:22	So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
2 Samuel 11:23	And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.
2 Samuel 11:24	And the shooters shot at your servants from the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2 Samuel 11:25	Then David said to the messenger, Thus you shall say to Joab, Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage him.
2 Samuel 11:26	And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
2 Samuel 11:27	And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Yehovah.
2 Samuel 12:1	And Yehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Samuel 12:2	The rich man had very many flocks and herds;
2 Samuel 12:3	but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it ate of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
2 Samuel 12:4	And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared it for the man who had come to him.
2 Samuel 12:5	And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Yehovah lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die:
2 Samuel 12:6	and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
2 Samuel 12:7	And Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
2 Samuel 12:8	and I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you such and such things.
2 Samuel 12:9	Why have you despised the word of Yehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? you have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel 12:10	Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
2 Samuel 12:11	Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
2 Samuel 12:12	For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
2 Samuel 12:13	And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Yehovah. And Nathan said to David, Yehovah also has put away your sin; you shall not die.
2 Samuel 12:14	However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of Yehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.
2 Samuel 12:15	And Nathan departed to his house. And Yehovah struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
2 Samuel 12:16	David therefore pleaded with God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
2 Samuel 12:17	And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, nor did he eat bread with them.
2 Samuel 12:18	And it happened on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice: how will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
2 Samuel 12:19	But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
2 Samuel 12:20	Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of Yehovah, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he asked, they set bread before him, and he ate.
2 Samuel 12:21	Then his servants said to him, What thing is this that you have done? you fasted and wept for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose and ate bread.
2 Samuel 12:22	And he said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knows whether Yehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
2 Samuel 12:23	But now he is dead, why should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
2 Samuel 12:24	And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And Yehovah loved him;
2 Samuel 12:25	and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, for Yehovah’s sake.
2 Samuel 12:26	Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
2 Samuel 12:27	And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yes, I have taken the city of waters.
2 Samuel 12:28	Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
2 Samuel 12:29	And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
2 Samuel 12:30	And he took the crown of their king from his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, very much.
2 Samuel 12:31	And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 13:1	And it happened after this, that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Samuel 13:2	And Amnon was so distressed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.
2 Samuel 13:3	But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very crafty man.
2 Samuel 13:4	And he said to him, Why, O son of the king, are you so lean from day to day? will you not tell me? And Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.
2 Samuel 13:5	And Jonadab said to him, Lie down on your bed, and pretend to be sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Please let my sister Tamar come, and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand.
2 Samuel 13:6	So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be sick: and when the king had come to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand.
2 Samuel 13:7	Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon’s house, and prepare food for him.
2 Samuel 13:8	So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
2 Samuel 13:9	And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have everyone go out from me. And they went out every man from him.
2 Samuel 13:10	And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from your hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
2 Samuel 13:11	And when she had brought them near to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
2 Samuel 13:12	And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not do this folly.
2 Samuel 13:13	And I, where shall I carry my shame? and as for you, you will be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.
2 Samuel 13:14	However he would not listen to her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her.
2 Samuel 13:15	Then Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.
2 Samuel 13:16	And she said to him, Not so, because this great wrong in sending me away is worse than the other that you did to me. But he would not listen to her.
2 Samuel 13:17	Then he called his servant who ministered to him, and said, Put this woman out from me now, and bolt the door after her.
2 Samuel 13:18	And she had a garment of various colors upon her; for with such robes were the king’s daughters who were virgins clothed. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
2 Samuel 13:19	And Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her garment of various colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went.
2 Samuel 13:20	And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? but now be silent, my sister: he is your brother; do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.
2 Samuel 13:21	But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.
2 Samuel 13:22	And Absalom spoke to Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
2 Samuel 13:23	And it happened after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
2 Samuel 13:24	And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, your servant has sheep-shearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant.
2 Samuel 13:25	And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you. And he pressed him: however he would not go, but blessed him.
2 Samuel 13:26	Then Absalom said, If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with you?
2 Samuel 13:27	But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him.
2 Samuel 13:28	And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I say to you, Strike Amnon, then kill him; do not fear; have I not commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
2 Samuel 13:29	And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man got up upon his mule, and fled.
2 Samuel 13:30	And it happened, while they were on the way, that the tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
2 Samuel 13:31	Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
2 Samuel 13:32	And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, Do not let my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
2 Samuel 13:33	Now therefore do not let my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead.
2 Samuel 13:34	But Absalom fled. And the young man who kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came many people by the way of the hill-side behind him.
2 Samuel 13:35	And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king’s sons have come: as your servant said, so it is.
2 Samuel 13:36	And it happened, as soon as he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.
2 Samuel 13:37	But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
2 Samuel 13:38	So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
2 Samuel 13:39	And the soul of king David longed to go out to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
2 Samuel 14:1	Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.
2 Samuel 14:2	And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, Please pretend to be a mourner, and please put on mourning apparel, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be as a woman who has mourned a long time for the dead:
2 Samuel 14:3	and go in to the king, and speak in this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
2 Samuel 14:4	And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and paid homage, and said, Help, O king.
2 Samuel 14:5	And the king said to her, What troubles you? And she answered, Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead.
2 Samuel 14:6	And your handmaid had two sons, and they two quarreled together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one struck the other, and killed him.
2 Samuel 14:7	And, behold, the whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus they will quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.
2 Samuel 14:8	And the king said to the woman, Go to your house, and I will give charge concerning you.
2 Samuel 14:9	And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, let the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and let the king and his throne be guiltless.
2 Samuel 14:10	And the king said, Whoever says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you any more.
2 Samuel 14:11	Then she said, Please let the king remember Yehovah your God, that the avenger of blood may not destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Yehovah lives, there shall not one hair of your son fall to the earth.
2 Samuel 14:12	Then the woman said, Please let your handmaid speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
2 Samuel 14:13	And the woman said, Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not fetch home again his banished one.
2 Samuel 14:14	For we must die, and are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; nor does God take away life, but devises means, that he who is banished may not be an outcast from him.
2 Samuel 14:15	Now therefore seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and your handmaid said, I will now speak to the king; perhaps the king will perform the request of his servant.
2 Samuel 14:16	For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
2 Samuel 14:17	Then your handmaid said, Please let the word of my lord the king be a comfort; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and may Yehovah your God be with you.
2 Samuel 14:18	Then the king answered and said to the woman, Please do not hide from me anything that I shall ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
2 Samuel 14:19	And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman answered and said, As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid;
2 Samuel 14:20	to change the face of the matter your servant Joab has done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
2 Samuel 14:21	And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.
2 Samuel 14:22	And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and paid homage, and blessed the king; and Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.
2 Samuel 14:23	So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 14:24	And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and did not see the king’s face.
2 Samuel 14:25	Now in all Israel there was no one to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
2 Samuel 14:26	And when he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight.
2 Samuel 14:27	And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a beautiful appearance.
2 Samuel 14:28	And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he did not see the king’s face.
2 Samuel 14:29	Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
2 Samuel 14:30	Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.
2 Samuel 14:31	Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?
2 Samuel 14:32	And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, Why have I come from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.
2 Samuel 14:33	So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
2 Samuel 15:1	And it happened after this, that Absalom prepared for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Samuel 15:2	And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when anyone had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city are you? And he said, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
2 Samuel 15:3	And Absalom said to him, See, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed by the king to hear you.
2 Samuel 15:4	Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!
2 Samuel 15:5	And it was so, that, when anyone came near to pay him homage, he put out his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
2 Samuel 15:6	And in this manner Absalom did to all Israel who came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 15:7	And it happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yehovah, in Hebron.
2 Samuel 15:8	For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Yehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yehovah.
2 Samuel 15:9	And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
2 Samuel 15:10	But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
2 Samuel 15:11	And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
2 Samuel 15:12	And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
2 Samuel 15:13	And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
2 Samuel 15:14	And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.
2 Samuel 15:15	And the king’s servants said to the king, Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall choose.
2 Samuel 15:16	And the king went out, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
2 Samuel 15:17	And the king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth-merhak.
2 Samuel 15:18	And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
2 Samuel 15:19	Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why do you also go with us? return, and abide with the king: for you are a foreigner, and also an exile; return to your own place.
2 Samuel 15:20	Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, seeing I go where I may? return, and take back your brothers; mercy and truth be with you.
2 Samuel 15:21	And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Yehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also your servant will be.
2 Samuel 15:22	And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
2 Samuel 15:23	And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
2 Samuel 15:24	And, behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had finished passing out of the city.
2 Samuel 15:25	And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Yehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:
2 Samuel 15:26	but if he says thus, I have no delight in you; behold, here I am, let him do to me as seems good to him.
2 Samuel 15:27	The king said also to Zadok the priest, Are you not a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
2 Samuel 15:28	See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.
2 Samuel 15:29	Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they remained there.
2 Samuel 15:30	And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered each man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
2 Samuel 15:31	And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Yehovah, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
2 Samuel 15:32	And it happened, that, when David had come to the top of the ascent, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth upon his head.
2 Samuel 15:33	And David said to him, If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me:
2 Samuel 15:34	but if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
2 Samuel 15:35	And have you not there with you Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that whatever you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
2 Samuel 15:36	Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.
2 Samuel 15:37	So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 16:1	And when David was a little past the top of the ascent, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 Samuel 16:2	And the king said to Ziba, What do you mean by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.
2 Samuel 16:3	And the king said, And where is your master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he remains at Jerusalem; for he said, Today the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.
2 Samuel 16:4	Then the king said to Ziba, Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours. And Ziba said, I pay homage; let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king.
2 Samuel 16:5	And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and kept cursing as he came.
2 Samuel 16:6	And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
2 Samuel 16:7	And thus Shimei said when he cursed, Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless fellow:
2 Samuel 16:8	Yehovah has returned upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and Yehovah has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son; and, behold, you are taken in your own evil, because you are a man of blood.
2 Samuel 16:9	Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? please let me go over, and take off his head.
2 Samuel 16:10	And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Yehovah has said to him, Curse David; who then shall say, Why have you done so?
2 Samuel 16:11	And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came out from my bowels, seeks my life: how much more may this Benjamite now do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for Yehovah has told him.
2 Samuel 16:12	Perhaps Yehovah will look on the wrong done to me, and Yehovah will repay me good for his cursing of me this day.
2 Samuel 16:13	So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side opposite him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
2 Samuel 16:14	And the king, and all the people who were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
2 Samuel 16:15	And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
2 Samuel 16:16	And it happened, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king, Long live the king.
2 Samuel 16:17	And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your kindness to your friend? why did you not go with your friend?
2 Samuel 16:18	And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Yehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will abide.
2 Samuel 16:19	And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.
2 Samuel 16:20	Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do.
2 Samuel 16:21	And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father: then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.
2 Samuel 16:22	So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2 Samuel 16:23	And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
2 Samuel 17:1	Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2 Samuel 17:2	and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people who are with him shall flee; and I will strike the king only;
2 Samuel 17:3	and I will bring back all the people to you: the man whom you seek is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
2 Samuel 17:4	And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
2 Samuel 17:5	Then Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he says.
2 Samuel 17:6	And when Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we do according to his saying? if not, you speak.
2 Samuel 17:7	And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.
2 Samuel 17:8	Hushai said moreover, You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are embittered in their minds, as a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
2 Samuel 17:9	Behold, he is hidden now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will happen, when some of them have fallen at the first, that whoever hears it will say, There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.
2 Samuel 17:10	And even he who is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
2 Samuel 17:11	But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together to you, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.
2 Samuel 17:12	So we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him we will not leave so much as one.
2 Samuel 17:13	Moreover, if he has gone into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until not one small stone is found there.
2 Samuel 17:14	And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Yehovah had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Yehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.
2 Samuel 17:15	Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus I have counseled.
2 Samuel 17:16	Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Do not lodge this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people who are with him.
2 Samuel 17:17	Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they could not be seen to come into the city.
2 Samuel 17:18	But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
2 Samuel 17:19	And the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and spread crushed grain on it; and nothing was known.
2 Samuel 17:20	And Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 17:21	And it happened, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.
2 Samuel 17:22	Then David arose, and all the people who were with him, and they passed over the Jordan: by the morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 17:23	And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey, and arose, and went home, to his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the tomb of his father.
2 Samuel 17:24	Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
2 Samuel 17:25	And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.
2 Samuel 17:26	And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
2 Samuel 17:27	And it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
2 Samuel 17:28	brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,
2 Samuel 17:29	and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him, to eat: for they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
2 Samuel 18:1	And David numbered the people who were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
2 Samuel 18:2	And David sent out the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I will surely go out with you myself also.
2 Samuel 18:3	But the people said, You shall not go out: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; nor if half of us die, will they care for us: but you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city.
2 Samuel 18:4	And the king said to them, What seems best to you I will do. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
2 Samuel 18:5	And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
2 Samuel 18:6	So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.
2 Samuel 18:7	And the people of Israel were struck down there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men.
2 Samuel 18:8	For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
2 Samuel 18:9	And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went on.
2 Samuel 18:10	And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.
2 Samuel 18:11	And Joab said to the man who told him, And, behold, you saw it, and why did you not strike him there to the ground? and I would have given you ten pieces of silver, and a belt.
2 Samuel 18:12	And the man said to Joab, Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet I would not put out my hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that no one touches the young man Absalom.
2 Samuel 18:13	Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against me.
2 Samuel 18:14	Then Joab said, I may not wait thus with you. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was still alive in the midst of the oak.
2 Samuel 18:15	And ten young men who bore Joab’s armor surrounded and struck Absalom, and slew him.
2 Samuel 18:16	And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held back the people.
2 Samuel 18:17	And they took Absalom, and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled each one to his tent.
2 Samuel 18:18	Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar, which is in the king’s valley; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom’s monument, to this day.
2 Samuel 18:19	Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how Yehovah has avenged him of his enemies.
2 Samuel 18:20	And Joab said to him, You shall not be the bearer of tidings this day, but you shall bear tidings another day; but this day you shall bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead.
2 Samuel 18:21	Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go, tell the king what you have seen. And the Cushite bowed himself to Joab, and ran.
2 Samuel 18:22	Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, But come what may, please let me also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why will you run, my son, seeing that you will have no reward for the tidings?
2 Samuel 18:23	But come what may, said he, I will run. And he said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite.
2 Samuel 18:24	Now David was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone.
2 Samuel 18:25	And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he is alone, there are tidings in his mouth. And he came on quickly, and drew near.
2 Samuel 18:26	And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, Behold, another man running alone. And the king said, He also brings tidings.
2 Samuel 18:27	And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and comes with good tidings.
2 Samuel 18:28	And Ahimaaz called, and said to the king, All is well. And he bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be Yehovah your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
2 Samuel 18:29	And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was.
2 Samuel 18:30	And the king said, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
2 Samuel 18:31	And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Tidings for my lord the king; for Yehovah has avenged you this day of all those who rose up against you.
2 Samuel 18:32	And the king said to the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you to do you harm, may they be as that young man is.
2 Samuel 18:33	And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would that I had died for you, O Absalom, my son, my son!
2 Samuel 19:1	And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
2 Samuel 19:2	And the victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, The king grieves for his son.
2 Samuel 19:3	And the people went by stealth that day into the city, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
2 Samuel 19:4	And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
2 Samuel 19:5	And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, You have shamed this day the faces of all your servants, who this day have saved your life, and the lives of your sons and of your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines;
2 Samuel 19:6	in that you love those who hate you, and hate those who love you. For you have declared this day, that princes and servants are nothing to you: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all of us had died this day, then it would have pleased you well.
2 Samuel 19:7	Now therefore arise, go out, and speak kindly to your servants; for I swear by Yehovah, if you do not go out, not a man will stay with you this night: and that will be worse to you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now.
2 Samuel 19:8	Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate: and all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled each man to his tent.
2 Samuel 19:9	And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
2 Samuel 19:10	And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?
2 Samuel 19:11	And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel has come to the king, to bring him to his house.
2 Samuel 19:12	You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh: why then are you the last to bring back the king?
2 Samuel 19:13	And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not captain of the host before me continually in place of Joab.
2 Samuel 19:14	And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Return, you and all your servants.
2 Samuel 19:15	So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:16	And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
2 Samuel 19:17	And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king.
2 Samuel 19:18	And there went over a ferry-boat to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he had come over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:19	And he said to the king, Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me, nor remember that which your servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
2 Samuel 19:20	For your servant knows that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I have come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
2 Samuel 19:21	But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Yehovah’s anointed?
2 Samuel 19:22	And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be adversaries to me? shall any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do I not know that I am this day king over Israel?
2 Samuel 19:23	And the king said to Shimei, You shall not die. And the king swore to him.
2 Samuel 19:24	And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
2 Samuel 19:25	And it happened, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?
2 Samuel 19:26	And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for your servant said, I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it, and go with the king; because your servant is lame.
2 Samuel 19:27	And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in your eyes.
2 Samuel 19:28	For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right therefore do I still have that I should cry any more to the king?
2 Samuel 19:29	And the king said to him, Why do you speak any more of your matters? I say, You and Ziba divide the land.
2 Samuel 19:30	And Mephibosheth said to the king, Yes, let him take all, since my lord the king has come in peace to his own house.
2 Samuel 19:31	And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:32	Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even eighty years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
2 Samuel 19:33	And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will sustain you with me in Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 19:34	And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
2 Samuel 19:35	I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why then should your servant still be a burden to my lord the king?
2 Samuel 19:36	Your servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with such a reward?
2 Samuel 19:37	Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, your servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good to you.
2 Samuel 19:38	And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good to you: and whatever you shall require of me, that I will do for you.
2 Samuel 19:39	And all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
2 Samuel 19:40	So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
2 Samuel 19:41	And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?
2 Samuel 19:42	And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: why then are you angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? or has he given us any gift?
2 Samuel 19:43	And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than you: why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 20:1	And there happened to be there a worthless fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, nor have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 Samuel 20:2	So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah clung to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 20:3	And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody, and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
2 Samuel 20:4	Then the king said to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.
2 Samuel 20:5	So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together; but he delayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
2 Samuel 20:6	And David said to Abishai, Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did: take your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get fortified cities for himself, and escape out of our sight.
2 Samuel 20:7	And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:8	When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a belt with a sword fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and as he went out it fell out.
2 Samuel 20:9	And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with you, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
2 Samuel 20:10	But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he struck him with it in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and did not strike him again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:11	And there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab.
2 Samuel 20:12	And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
2 Samuel 20:13	When he had been removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:14	And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
2 Samuel 20:15	And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
2 Samuel 20:16	Then a wise woman cried out of the city, Hear, hear; please say to Joab, Come near here, that I may speak with you.
2 Samuel 20:17	And he came near to her; and the woman said, Are you Joab? And he answered, I am. Then she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
2 Samuel 20:18	Then she spoke, saying, They used to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
2 Samuel 20:19	I am of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why will you swallow up the inheritance of Yehovah?
2 Samuel 20:20	And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
2 Samuel 20:21	The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
2 Samuel 20:22	Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
2 Samuel 20:23	Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;
2 Samuel 20:24	and Adoram was over the men subject to taskwork; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;
2 Samuel 20:25	and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
2 Samuel 20:26	and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
2 Samuel 21:1	And there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yehovah. And Yehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Samuel 21:2	And the king called the Gibeonites, and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
2 Samuel 21:3	and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Yehovah?
2 Samuel 21:4	And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What you shall say, that I will do for you.
2 Samuel 21:5	And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
2 Samuel 21:6	let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yehovah. And the king said, I will give them.
2 Samuel 21:7	But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yehovah’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
2 Samuel 21:8	But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
2 Samuel 21:9	and he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Yehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
2 Samuel 21:10	And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she allowed neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
2 Samuel 21:11	And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
2 Samuel 21:12	And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa;
2 Samuel 21:13	and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
2 Samuel 21:14	And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
2 Samuel 21:15	And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint;
2 Samuel 21:16	and Ishbi-benob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
2 Samuel 21:17	But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, You shall go no more out with us to battle, that you may not quench the lamp of Israel.
2 Samuel 21:18	And it happened after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
2 Samuel 21:19	And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
2 Samuel 21:20	And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.
2 Samuel 21:21	And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, slew him.
2 Samuel 21:22	These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
2 Samuel 22:1	And David spoke to Yehovah the words of this song in the day that Yehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Samuel 22:2	and he said, Yehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even my own;
2 Samuel 22:3	God, my rock, in him I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; My savior, you save me from violence.
2 Samuel 22:4	I will call upon Yehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from my enemies.
2 Samuel 22:5	For the waves of death surrounded me; The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:
2 Samuel 22:6	The cords of Sheol were around me; The snares of death came upon me.
2 Samuel 22:7	In my distress I called upon Yehovah; Yes, I called to my God: And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry came into his ears.
2 Samuel 22:8	Then the earth shook and trembled, The foundations of heaven quaked And were shaken, because he was angry.
2 Samuel 22:9	There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.
2 Samuel 22:10	He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
2 Samuel 22:11	And he rode upon a cherub, and flew; Yes, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
2 Samuel 22:12	And he made darkness pavilions around him, Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
2 Samuel 22:13	At the brightness before him Coals of fire were kindled.
2 Samuel 22:14	Yehovah thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice.
2 Samuel 22:15	And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; Lightning, and routed them.
2 Samuel 22:16	Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Yehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
2 Samuel 22:17	He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters;
2 Samuel 22:18	He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
2 Samuel 22:19	They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Yehovah was my stay.
2 Samuel 22:20	He brought me out also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
2 Samuel 22:21	Yehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.
2 Samuel 22:22	For I have kept the ways of Yehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
2 Samuel 22:23	For all his ordinances were before me; And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
2 Samuel 22:24	I was also perfect toward him; And I kept myself from my iniquity.
2 Samuel 22:25	Therefore Yehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
2 Samuel 22:26	With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect;
2 Samuel 22:27	With the pure you will show yourself pure; And with the perverse you will show yourself crooked.
2 Samuel 22:28	And the afflicted people you will save; But your eyes are upon the haughty, that you may bring them down.
2 Samuel 22:29	For you are my lamp, O Yehovah; And Yehovah will lighten my darkness.
2 Samuel 22:30	For by you I run upon a troop; By my God I leap over a wall.
2 Samuel 22:31	As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yehovah is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
2 Samuel 22:32	For who is God, except Yehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?
2 Samuel 22:33	God is my strong fortress; And he guides the perfect in his way.
2 Samuel 22:34	He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, And sets me upon my high places.
2 Samuel 22:35	He teaches my hands to war, So that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
2 Samuel 22:36	You have also given me the shield of your salvation; And your gentleness has made me great.
2 Samuel 22:37	You have enlarged my steps under me; And my feet have not slipped.
2 Samuel 22:38	I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; Nor did I turn again until they were consumed.
2 Samuel 22:39	And I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they cannot arise: Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
2 Samuel 22:40	For you have girded me with strength to the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
2 Samuel 22:41	You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, That I might cut off those who hate me.
2 Samuel 22:42	They looked, but there was none to save; Even to Yehovah, but he did not answer them.
2 Samuel 22:43	Then I beat them fine as the dust of the earth, I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
2 Samuel 22:44	You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people; You have kept me to be the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
2 Samuel 22:45	The foreigners shall submit themselves to me: As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
2 Samuel 22:46	The foreigners shall fade away, And shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
2 Samuel 22:47	Yehovah lives; And blessed be my rock; And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
2 Samuel 22:48	Even the God who executes vengeance for me, And who brings down peoples under me,
2 Samuel 22:49	And who brings me out from my enemies: Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me; You deliver me from the violent man.
2 Samuel 22:50	Therefore I will give thanks to you, O Yehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises to your name.
2 Samuel 22:51	Great deliverance he gives to his king, And shows lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, forevermore.
2 Samuel 23:1	Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, And the man who was raised on high says, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Samuel 23:2	The Spirit of Yehovah spoke by me, And his word was upon my tongue.
2 Samuel 23:3	The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: One who rules over men righteously, Who rules in the fear of God,
2 Samuel 23:4	He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, When the tender grass springs out of the earth, Through clear shining after rain.
2 Samuel 23:5	Truly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, Although he does not make it grow.
2 Samuel 23:6	But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
2 Samuel 23:7	But the man who touches them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
2 Samuel 23:8	These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
2 Samuel 23:9	And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
2 Samuel 23:10	He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword; and Yehovah brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
2 Samuel 23:11	And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
2 Samuel 23:12	But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Yehovah brought about a great victory.
2 Samuel 23:13	And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 23:14	And David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
2 Samuel 23:15	And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!
2 Samuel 23:16	And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yehovah.
2 Samuel 23:17	And he said, Far be it from me, O Yehovah, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
2 Samuel 23:18	And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
2 Samuel 23:19	Was he not most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: however he did not attain to the first three.
2 Samuel 23:20	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
2 Samuel 23:21	And he slew an Egyptian, a handsome man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
2 Samuel 23:22	These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name among the three mighty men.
2 Samuel 23:23	He was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
2 Samuel 23:24	Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,
2 Samuel 23:25	Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
2 Samuel 23:26	Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
2 Samuel 23:27	Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
2 Samuel 23:28	Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,
2 Samuel 23:29	Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
2 Samuel 23:30	Benaiah a Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash.
2 Samuel 23:31	Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,
2 Samuel 23:32	Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,
2 Samuel 23:33	Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite,
2 Samuel 23:34	Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maacathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
2 Samuel 23:35	Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,
2 Samuel 23:36	Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
2 Samuel 23:37	Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armorbearers to Joab the son of Zeruiah,
2 Samuel 23:38	Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
2 Samuel 23:39	Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in all.
2 Samuel 24:1	And again the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel 24:2	And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number the people, that I may know the sum of the people.
2 Samuel 24:3	And Joab said to the king, Now may Yehovah your God add to the people, however many they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
2 Samuel 24:4	Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
2 Samuel 24:5	And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer:
2 Samuel 24:6	then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and around to Sidon,
2 Samuel 24:7	and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba.
2 Samuel 24:8	So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
2 Samuel 24:9	And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
2 Samuel 24:10	And David’s heart struck him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Yehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done: but now, O Yehovah, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.
2 Samuel 24:11	And when David rose up in the morning, the word of Yehovah came to the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
2 Samuel 24:12	Go and speak to David, Thus says Yehovah, I offer you three things: choose one of them, that I may do it to you.
2 Samuel 24:13	So Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? now take counsel, and consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.
2 Samuel 24:14	And David said to Gad, I am in great distress: let us fall now into the hand of Yehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.
2 Samuel 24:15	So Yehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
2 Samuel 24:16	And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Yehovah repented of the evil, and said to the angel who destroyed the people, It is enough; now stay your hand. And the angel of Yehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Samuel 24:17	And David spoke to Yehovah when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, Look, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? please let your hand be against me, and against my father’s house.
2 Samuel 24:18	And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, erect an altar to Yehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Samuel 24:19	And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Yehovah commanded.
2 Samuel 24:20	And Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
2 Samuel 24:21	And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to Yehovah, that the plague may be averted from the people.
2 Samuel 24:22	And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him: behold, the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:
2 Samuel 24:23	all this, O king, does Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, May Yehovah your God accept you.
2 Samuel 24:24	And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will truly buy it from you at a price; nor will I offer burnt-offerings to Yehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
2 Samuel 24:25	And David built there an altar to Yehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So Yehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.
1 Kings 1:1	Now king David was old and advanced in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not get warm.
1 Kings 1:2	Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get warm.
1 Kings 1:3	So they sought for a beautiful young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
1 Kings 1:4	And the young woman was very beautiful; and she cared for the king, and ministered to him; but the king did not know her.
1 Kings 1:5	Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
1 Kings 1:6	And his father had never displeased him at any time by saying, Why have you done so? and he was also a very handsome man; and he was born after Absalom.
1 Kings 1:7	And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
1 Kings 1:8	But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
1 Kings 1:9	And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants:
1 Kings 1:10	but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
1 Kings 1:11	Then Nathan spoke to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?
1 Kings 1:12	Now therefore come, let me, please, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.
1 Kings 1:13	Go in to king David, and say to him, Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonijah reign?
1 Kings 1:14	Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.
1 Kings 1:15	And Bath-sheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.
1 Kings 1:16	And Bath-sheba bowed, and paid homage to the king. And the king said, What do you want?
1 Kings 1:17	And she said to him, My lord, you swore by Yehovah your God to your handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
1 Kings 1:18	And now, behold, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it:
1 Kings 1:19	and he has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not called.
1 Kings 1:20	And you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
1 Kings 1:21	Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
1 Kings 1:22	And, behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
1 Kings 1:23	And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he had come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
1 Kings 1:24	And Nathan said, My lord, O king, have you said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
1 Kings 1:25	For he has gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king’s sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, Long live king Adonijah.
1 Kings 1:26	But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not called.
1 Kings 1:27	Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not shown your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
1 Kings 1:28	Then king David answered and said, Call to me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
1 Kings 1:29	And the king swore, and said, As Yehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
1 Kings 1:30	truly as I swore to you by Yehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my place; truly so will I do this day.
1 Kings 1:31	Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and paid homage to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live forever.
1 Kings 1:32	And king David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
1 Kings 1:33	And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
1 Kings 1:34	and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow the trumpet, and say, Long live king Solomon.
1 Kings 1:35	Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my place; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.
1 Kings 1:36	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: Yehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too.
1 Kings 1:37	As Yehovah has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
1 Kings 1:38	So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon.
1 Kings 1:39	And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Long live king Solomon.
1 Kings 1:40	And all the people came up after him, and the people played on pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth split with the sound of them.
1 Kings 1:41	And Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city in an uproar?
1 Kings 1:42	While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.
1 Kings 1:43	And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Truly our lord king David has made Solomon king:
1 Kings 1:44	and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule;
1 Kings 1:45	and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon; and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you have heard.
1 Kings 1:46	And also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
1 Kings 1:47	And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne: and the king bowed himself upon the bed.
1 Kings 1:48	And also the king said this, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.
1 Kings 1:49	And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
1 Kings 1:50	And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and took hold of the horns of the altar.
1 Kings 1:51	And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon; for, behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
1 Kings 1:52	And Solomon said, If he shows himself a worthy man, not a hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.
1 Kings 1:53	So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and paid homage to king Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
1 Kings 2:1	Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
1 Kings 2:2	I am going the way of all the earth: be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;
1 Kings 2:3	and keep the charge of Yehovah your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to what is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself;
1 Kings 2:4	that Yehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack (he said) a man on the throne of Israel.
1 Kings 2:5	Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was around his waist, and in his sandals that were on his feet.
1 Kings 2:6	Do therefore according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.
1 Kings 2:7	But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
1 Kings 2:8	And, behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yehovah, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.
1 Kings 2:9	Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood.
1 Kings 2:10	And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
1 Kings 2:11	And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
1 Kings 2:12	And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
1 Kings 2:13	Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do you come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
1 Kings 2:14	He said moreover, I have something to say to you. And she said, Speak.
1 Kings 2:15	And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: however, the kingdom has turned about, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yehovah.
1 Kings 2:16	And now I ask one request of you; do not refuse me. And she said to him, Speak.
1 Kings 2:17	And he said, Speak, please, to Solomon the king (for he will not refuse you), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.
1 Kings 2:18	And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.
1 Kings 2:19	Bath-sheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.
1 Kings 2:20	Then she said, I ask one small request of you; do not refuse me. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother; for I will not refuse you.
1 Kings 2:21	And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.
1 Kings 2:22	And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my older brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
1 Kings 2:23	Then king Solomon swore by Yehovah, saying, May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
1 Kings 2:24	Now therefore as Yehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
1 Kings 2:25	And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.
1 Kings 2:26	And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death: but I will not at this time put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord Yehovah before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.
1 Kings 2:27	So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Yehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Yehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
1 Kings 2:28	And the news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom. And Joab fled to the Tent of Yehovah, and took hold of the horns of the altar.
1 Kings 2:29	And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the Tent of Yehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
1 Kings 2:30	And Benaiah came to the Tent of Yehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come out. And he said, No; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
1 Kings 2:31	And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.
1 Kings 2:32	And Yehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
1 Kings 2:33	So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever: but to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Yehovah.
1 Kings 2:34	Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
1 Kings 2:35	And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and Zadok the priest the king put in the place of Abiathar.
1 Kings 2:36	And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.
1 Kings 2:37	For on the day you go out, and cross over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be upon your own head.
1 Kings 2:38	And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
1 Kings 2:39	And it happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath.
1 Kings 2:40	And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
1 Kings 2:41	And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come back.
1 Kings 2:42	And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you swear by Yehovah, and solemnly warn you, saying, Know for certain, that on the day you go out, and walk abroad anywhere, you shall surely die? and you said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
1 Kings 2:43	Why then have you not kept the oath of Yehovah, and the commandment that I have charged you with?
1 Kings 2:44	The king said moreover to Shimei, You know all the wickedness which your heart is aware of, that you did to David my father: therefore Yehovah shall return your wickedness upon your own head.
1 Kings 2:45	But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Yehovah forever.
1 Kings 2:46	So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
1 Kings 3:1	And Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house, and the house of Yehovah, and the wall around Jerusalem.
1 Kings 3:2	Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Yehovah until those days.
1 Kings 3:3	And Solomon loved Yehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
1 Kings 3:4	And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings upon that altar.
1 Kings 3:5	In Gibeon Yehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give you.
1 Kings 3:6	And Solomon said, You have shown to your servant David my father great lovingkindness, because he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you; and you have kept for him this great lovingkindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
1 Kings 3:7	And now, O Yehovah my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am only a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
1 Kings 3:8	And your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, who cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
1 Kings 3:9	Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?
1 Kings 3:10	And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
1 Kings 3:11	And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;
1 Kings 3:12	behold, I have done according to your word: behold, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, nor shall any arise like you after you.
1 Kings 3:13	And I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you, all your days.
1 Kings 3:14	And if you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.
1 Kings 3:15	And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
1 Kings 3:16	Then two women who were prostitutes came to the king, and stood before him.
1 Kings 3:17	And the one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I gave birth to a child with her in the house.
1 Kings 3:18	And it happened the third day after I gave birth, that this woman gave birth also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, except we two in the house.
1 Kings 3:19	And this woman’s child died in the night, because she lay upon it.
1 Kings 3:20	And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
1 Kings 3:21	And when I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, he was dead; but when I had looked at him closely in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I had borne.
1 Kings 3:22	And the other woman said, No; but the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son. And this one said, No; but the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.
1 Kings 3:23	Then the king said, The one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead one: and the other says, No; but your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.
1 Kings 3:24	And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
1 Kings 3:25	And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
1 Kings 3:26	Then the woman whose the living child was spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it.
1 Kings 3:27	Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and by no means kill it: she is its mother.
1 Kings 3:28	And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
1 Kings 4:1	And king Solomon was king over all Israel.
1 Kings 4:2	And these were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;
1 Kings 4:3	Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;
1 Kings 4:4	and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
1 Kings 4:5	and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, and the king’s friend;
1 Kings 4:6	and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.
1 Kings 4:7	And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.
1 Kings 4:8	And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
1 Kings 4:9	Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;
1 Kings 4:10	Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (to him belonged Socoh, and all the land of Hepher);
1 Kings 4:11	Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife);
1 Kings 4:12	Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;
1 Kings 4:13	Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; even to him belonged the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);
1 Kings 4:14	Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
1 Kings 4:15	Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife);
1 Kings 4:16	Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;
1 Kings 4:17	Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
1 Kings 4:18	Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;
1 Kings 4:19	Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer who was in the land.
1 Kings 4:20	Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.
1 Kings 4:21	And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
1 Kings 4:22	And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal,
1 Kings 4:23	ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.
1 Kings 4:24	For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River: and he had peace on all sides around him.
1 Kings 4:25	And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
1 Kings 4:26	And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
1 Kings 4:27	And those officers provided food for king Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon’s table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.
1 Kings 4:28	They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
1 Kings 4:29	And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly great, and breadth of mind, even as the sand that is on the seashore.
1 Kings 4:30	And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
1 Kings 4:31	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 surrounding nations.
1 Kings 4:32	And he spoke three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
1 Kings 4:33	And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
1 Kings 4:34	And there came people from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
1 Kings 5:1	And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father: for Hiram had always been a lover of David.
1 Kings 5:2	And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
1 Kings 5:3	You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yehovah his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until Yehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
1 Kings 5:4	But now Yehovah my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor misfortune.
1 Kings 5:5	And, behold, I intend to build a house for the name of Yehovah my God, as Yehovah spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.
1 Kings 5:6	Now therefore command that they cut cedar trees for me out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with your servants; and I will pay you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say: for you know that there is not among us anyone who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.
1 Kings 5:7	And it happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Yehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
1 Kings 5:8	And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which you have sent to me: I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
1 Kings 5:9	My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint for me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them; and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
1 Kings 5:10	So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
1 Kings 5:11	And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food for his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
1 Kings 5:12	And Yehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a treaty together.
1 Kings 5:13	And king Solomon raised a forced levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
1 Kings 5:14	And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
1 Kings 5:15	And Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who were stonecutters in the mountains;
1 Kings 5:16	besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
1 Kings 5:17	And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stone.
1 Kings 5:18	And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites shaped them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
1 Kings 6:1	And it happened in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.
1 Kings 6:2	And the house which king Solomon built for Yehovah, its length was sixty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
1 Kings 6:3	And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was its length, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was its breadth before the house.
1 Kings 6:4	And for the house he made windows of fixed latticework.
1 Kings 6:5	And against the wall of the house he built stories all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary; and he made side chambers all around.
1 Kings 6:6	The lowest story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around, that the beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
1 Kings 6:7	And the house, when it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was being built.
1 Kings 6:8	The door for the middle side chambers was on the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.
1 Kings 6:9	So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
1 Kings 6:10	And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
1 Kings 6:11	And the word of Yehovah came to Solomon, saying,
1 Kings 6:12	Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
1 Kings 6:13	And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
1 Kings 6:14	So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
1 Kings 6:15	And he built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
1 Kings 6:16	And he built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls of the ceiling: he built them for it inside, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
1 Kings 6:17	And the house, that is, the temple before the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
1 Kings 6:18	And there was cedar on the house inside, carved with gourds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
1 Kings 6:19	And he prepared an inner sanctuary in the midst of the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yehovah.
1 Kings 6:20	And within the inner sanctuary was a space of twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.
1 Kings 6:21	So Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
1 Kings 6:22	And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
1 Kings 6:23	And in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
1 Kings 6:24	And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
1 Kings 6:25	And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
1 Kings 6:26	The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub.
1 Kings 6:27	And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.
1 Kings 6:28	And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
1 Kings 6:29	And he carved all the walls of the house all around with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, inside and outside.
1 Kings 6:30	And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.
1 Kings 6:31	And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood: the lintel and doorposts were a fifth part of the wall.
1 Kings 6:32	So he made two doors of olive wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.
1 Kings 6:33	So also he made for the entrance of the temple doorposts of olive wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;
1 Kings 6:34	and two doors of cypress wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
1 Kings 6:35	And he carved on them cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
1 Kings 6:36	And he built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.
1 Kings 6:37	In the fourth year the foundation of the house of Yehovah was laid, in the month Ziv.
1 Kings 6:38	And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its design. So he was seven years in building it.
1 Kings 7:1	And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
1 Kings 7:2	For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
1 Kings 7:3	And it was covered with cedar above over the forty-five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.
1 Kings 7:4	And there were beams in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers.
1 Kings 7:5	And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was opposite window in three tiers.
1 Kings 7:6	And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a canopy before them.
1 Kings 7:7	And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.
1 Kings 7:8	And his house where he was to dwell, the other court inside the porch, was of the same work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.
1 Kings 7:9	All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.
1 Kings 7:10	And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
1 Kings 7:11	And above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar wood.
1 Kings 7:12	And the great court all around had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; just as the inner court of the house of Yehovah, and the porch of the house.
1 Kings 7:13	And king Solomon sent and brought Hiram out of Tyre.
1 Kings 7:14	He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to do all work in bronze. And he came to king Solomon, and did all his work.
1 Kings 7:15	For he cast the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high each: and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each.
1 Kings 7:16	And he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.
1 Kings 7:17	There were nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.
1 Kings 7:18	So he made the pillars; and there were two rows all around upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars: and so he did for the other capital.
1 Kings 7:19	And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily work, four cubits.
1 Kings 7:20	And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the rounded projection which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows all around upon the other capital.
1 Kings 7:21	And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.
1 Kings 7:22	And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.
1 Kings 7:23	And he made the cast sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape, and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
1 Kings 7:24	And under its brim all around there were gourds which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea all around: the gourds were in two rows, cast when it was cast.
1 Kings 7:25	It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their rear parts were inward.
1 Kings 7:26	And it was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.
1 Kings 7:27	And he made the ten stands of bronze; four cubits was the length of one stand, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height.
1 Kings 7:28	And the work of the stands was in this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the frames;
1 Kings 7:29	and on the panels that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the frames there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
1 Kings 7:30	And every stand had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and its four feet had supports: beneath the basin were the supports cast, with wreaths at the side of each.
1 Kings 7:31	And its mouth within the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth were engravings, and their panels were square, not round.
1 Kings 7:32	And the four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axles of the wheels were in the stand: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
1 Kings 7:33	And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axles, and their rims, and their spokes, and their hubs, were all cast.
1 Kings 7:34	And there were four supports at the four corners of each stand: its supports were of the stand itself.
1 Kings 7:35	And in the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the stand its stays and its panels were of the same.
1 Kings 7:36	And on the plates of its stays, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths all around.
1 Kings 7:37	In this manner he made the ten stands: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
1 Kings 7:38	And he made ten basins of bronze: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten stands one basin.
1 Kings 7:39	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.
1 Kings 7:40	And Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he did for king Solomon in the house of Yehovah:
1 Kings 7:41	the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
1 Kings 7:42	and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;
1 Kings 7:43	and the ten stands, and the ten basins on the stands;
1 Kings 7:44	and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
1 Kings 7:45	and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Yehovah, were of burnished bronze.
1 Kings 7:46	In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
1 Kings 7:47	And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceedingly many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
1 Kings 7:48	And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yehovah: the golden altar, and the table on which the showbread was, of gold;
1 Kings 7:49	and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
1 Kings 7:50	and the cups, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the firepans, 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, that is, of the temple, of gold.
1 Kings 7:51	Thus all the work that king Solomon did in the house of Yehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Yehovah.
1 Kings 8:1	Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ houses of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
1 Kings 8:2	And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
1 Kings 8:3	And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
1 Kings 8:4	And they brought up the ark of Yehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
1 Kings 8:5	And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
1 Kings 8:6	And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
1 Kings 8:7	For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
1 Kings 8:8	And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
1 Kings 8:9	There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings 8:10	And it happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yehovah,
1 Kings 8:11	so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of Yehovah filled the house of Yehovah.
1 Kings 8:12	Then Solomon spoke, Yehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
1 Kings 8:13	I have surely built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.
1 Kings 8:14	And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
1 Kings 8:15	And he said, Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
1 Kings 8:16	Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
1 Kings 8:17	Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yehovah, the God of Israel.
1 Kings 8:18	But Yehovah said to David my father, Since it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
1 Kings 8:19	nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
1 Kings 8:20	And Yehovah has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Yehovah, the God of Israel.
1 Kings 8:21	And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings 8:22	And Solomon stood before the altar of Yehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;
1 Kings 8:23	and he said, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant and lovingkindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
1 Kings 8:24	who have kept with your servant David my father what you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
1 Kings 8:25	Now therefore, O Yehovah, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father what you have promised him, saying, You shall not lack a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.
1 Kings 8:26	Now therefore, O God of Israel, let your word, please, be confirmed, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
1 Kings 8:27	But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
1 Kings 8:28	Yet have regard to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O Yehovah my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
1 Kings 8:29	that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
1 Kings 8:30	And listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place: yes, hear in heaven your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
1 Kings 8:31	If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid upon him to make him swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house;
1 Kings 8:32	then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
1 Kings 8:33	When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house:
1 Kings 8:34	then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
1 Kings 8:35	When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:
1 Kings 8:36	then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
1 Kings 8:37	If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
1 Kings 8:38	whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house:
1 Kings 8:39	then hear in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)
1 Kings 8:40	that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
1 Kings 8:41	Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake
1 Kings 8:42	(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he comes and prays toward this house;
1 Kings 8:43	hear in heaven your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
1 Kings 8:44	If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yehovah toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
1 Kings 8:45	then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
1 Kings 8:46	If they sin against you (for there is no man who does not sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
1 Kings 8:47	yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly;
1 Kings 8:48	if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
1 Kings 8:49	then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
1 Kings 8:50	and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
1 Kings 8:51	(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
1 Kings 8:52	that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
1 Kings 8:53	For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Yehovah.
1 Kings 8:54	And it was so, that, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Yehovah, he arose from before the altar of Yehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.
1 Kings 8:55	And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
1 Kings 8:56	Blessed be Yehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
1 Kings 8:57	May Yehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
1 Kings 8:58	that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
1 Kings 8:59	And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yehovah, be near to Yehovah our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires;
1 Kings 8:60	that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yehovah, he is God; there is none else.
1 Kings 8:61	Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
1 Kings 8:62	And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yehovah.
1 Kings 8:63	And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yehovah.
1 Kings 8:64	The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of Yehovah; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yehovah was too small to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
1 Kings 8:65	So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
1 Kings 8:66	On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Yehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
1 Kings 9:1	And it happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
1 Kings 9:2	that Yehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
1 Kings 9:3	And Yehovah said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have consecrated this house, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
1 Kings 9:4	And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;
1 Kings 9:5	then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, You shall not lack a man upon the throne of Israel.
1 Kings 9:6	But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and bow down to them;
1 Kings 9:7	then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
1 Kings 9:8	And though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has Yehovah done thus to this land, and to this house?
1 Kings 9:9	and they shall answer, Because they forsook Yehovah their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore Yehovah has brought all this evil upon them.
1 Kings 9:10	And it happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yehovah and the king’s house
1 Kings 9:11	(now Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
1 Kings 9:12	And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.
1 Kings 9:13	And he said, What cities are these which you have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.
1 Kings 9:14	And Hiram sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
1 Kings 9:15	And this is the account of the forced levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Yehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
1 Kings 9:16	Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
1 Kings 9:17	And Solomon built Gezer, and Lower Beth-horon,
1 Kings 9:18	and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,
1 Kings 9:19	and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
1 Kings 9:20	As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;
1 Kings 9:21	their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.
1 Kings 9:22	But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and commanders of his chariots and of his horsemen.
1 Kings 9:23	These were the chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
1 Kings 9:24	But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo.
1 Kings 9:25	And three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built to Yehovah, burning incense with it, upon the altar that was before Yehovah. So he finished the house.
1 Kings 9:26	And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
1 Kings 9:27	And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
1 Kings 9:28	And they came to Ophir, and brought gold from there, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
1 Kings 10:1	And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yehovah, she came to test him with hard questions.
1 Kings 10:2	And she came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that carried spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.
1 Kings 10:3	And Solomon answered all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he did not tell her.
1 Kings 10:4	And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
1 Kings 10:5	and the food of his table, and the seating of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yehovah; there was no more spirit in her.
1 Kings 10:6	And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
1 Kings 10:7	However, I did not believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; your wisdom and prosperity exceed the report which I heard.
1 Kings 10:8	Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and who hear your wisdom.
1 Kings 10:9	Blessed be Yehovah your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because Yehovah loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.
1 Kings 10:10	And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
1 Kings 10:11	And the fleet of Hiram also, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir a great abundance of almug trees and precious stones.
1 Kings 10:12	And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of Yehovah, and for the king’s house, harps also and lyres for the singers: no such almug trees have come, nor been seen, to this day.
1 Kings 10:13	And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
1 Kings 10:14	Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
1 Kings 10:15	besides what the traders brought, and the trade of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed peoples, and of the governors of the country.
1 Kings 10:16	And king Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into one shield.
1 Kings 10:17	And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went into one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
1 Kings 10:18	Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
1 Kings 10:19	There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round at the back; and there were armrests on either side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
1 Kings 10:20	And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
1 Kings 10:21	And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.
1 Kings 10:22	For the king had at sea a fleet of Tarshish with the fleet of Hiram: once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
1 Kings 10:23	So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
1 Kings 10:24	And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
1 Kings 10:25	And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a set amount year by year.
1 Kings 10:26	And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
1 Kings 10:27	And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
1 Kings 10:28	And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
1 Kings 10:29	And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.
1 Kings 11:1	Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;
1 Kings 11:2	of the nations concerning which Yehovah said to the children of Israel, You shall not go among them, nor shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clung to these in love.
1 Kings 11:3	And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
1 Kings 11:4	For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.
1 Kings 11:5	For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1 Kings 11:6	And Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and did not go fully after Yehovah, as David his father did.
1 Kings 11:7	Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
1 Kings 11:8	And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
1 Kings 11:9	And Yehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
1 Kings 11:10	and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he did not keep what Yehovah commanded.
1 Kings 11:11	Therefore Yehovah said to Solomon, Since this has been done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
1 Kings 11:12	Nevertheless in your days I will not do it, for David your father’s sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
1 Kings 11:13	However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
1 Kings 11:14	And Yehovah raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
1 Kings 11:15	For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck down every male in Edom
1 Kings 11:16	(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);
1 Kings 11:17	that Hadad fled, he and some Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being still a little child.
1 Kings 11:18	And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and assigned him food, and gave him land.
1 Kings 11:19	And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
1 Kings 11:20	And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
1 Kings 11:21	And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
1 Kings 11:22	Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me, that, behold, you seek to go to your own country? And he answered, Nothing: however, only let me depart.
1 Kings 11:23	And God raised up another adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
1 Kings 11:24	And he gathered men to him, and became leader of a marauding band, when David killed those of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
1 Kings 11:25	And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the harm that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
1 Kings 11:26	And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
1 Kings 11:27	And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.
1 Kings 11:28	And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.
1 Kings 11:29	And it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road; now Ahijah had clothed himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
1 Kings 11:30	And Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces.
1 Kings 11:31	And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten pieces for yourself; for thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you
1 Kings 11:32	(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);
1 Kings 11:33	because they have forsaken me, and have bowed down to Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
1 Kings 11:34	However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
1 Kings 11:35	but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
1 Kings 11:36	And to his son I will give one tribe, that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
1 Kings 11:37	And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
1 Kings 11:38	And it shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
1 Kings 11:39	And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever.
1 Kings 11:40	Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
1 Kings 11:41	Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
1 Kings 11:42	And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
1 Kings 11:43	And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 12:1	And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
1 Kings 12:2	And it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam lived in Egypt,
1 Kings 12:3	and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
1 Kings 12:4	Your father made our yoke heavy: now therefore make the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve you.
1 Kings 12:5	And he said to them, Go away for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
1 Kings 12:6	And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was still alive, saying, What counsel do you give me to return an answer to this people?
1 Kings 12:7	And they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.
1 Kings 12:8	But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
1 Kings 12:9	And he said to them, What counsel do you give, that we may return an answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that your father put upon us lighter?
1 Kings 12:10	And the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you say to this people who spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter for us; thus shall you speak to them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.
1 Kings 12:11	And now whereas my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1 Kings 12:12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had said, saying, Come to me again the third day.
1 Kings 12:13	And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,
1 Kings 12:14	and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1 Kings 12:15	So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a turn of events brought about by Yehovah, that he might establish his word, which Yehovah spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1 Kings 12:16	And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.
1 Kings 12:17	But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
1 Kings 12:18	Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam hurried to get up into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
1 Kings 12:19	So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
1 Kings 12:20	And it happened, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
1 Kings 12:21	And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
1 Kings 12:22	But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
1 Kings 12:23	Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
1 Kings 12:24	Thus says Yehovah, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. So they listened to the word of Yehovah, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Yehovah.
1 Kings 12:25	Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived there; and he went out from there, and built Penuel.
1 Kings 12:26	And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now the kingdom will return to the house of David:
1 Kings 12:27	if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yehovah at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.
1 Kings 12:28	So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings 12:29	And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other he put in Dan.
1 Kings 12:30	And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan.
1 Kings 12:31	And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
1 Kings 12:32	And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; so he did in Beth-el, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.
1 Kings 12:33	And he went up to the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised in his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up to the altar, to burn incense.
1 Kings 13:1	And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yehovah to Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
1 Kings 13:2	And he cried against the altar by the word of Yehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus says Yehovah: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and men’s bones they shall burn upon you.
1 Kings 13:3	And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Yehovah has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
1 Kings 13:4	And it happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, Seize him. And his hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.
1 Kings 13:5	The altar also was torn apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yehovah.
1 Kings 13:6	And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Yehovah your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated Yehovah, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
1 Kings 13:7	And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.
1 Kings 13:8	And the man of God said to the king, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you, nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
1 Kings 13:9	for so it was commanded me by the word of Yehovah, saying, You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that you came.
1 Kings 13:10	So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he came to Beth-el.
1 Kings 13:11	Now an old prophet lived in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken to the king, they also told to their father.
1 Kings 13:12	And their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
1 Kings 13:13	And he said to his sons, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
1 Kings 13:14	And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.
1 Kings 13:15	Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
1 Kings 13:16	And he said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you; nor will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:
1 Kings 13:17	for it was said to me by the word of Yehovah, You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.
1 Kings 13:18	And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yehovah, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.
1 Kings 13:19	So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
1 Kings 13:20	And it happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yehovah came to the prophet who brought him back;
1 Kings 13:21	and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says Yehovah, Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yehovah, and have not kept the commandment which Yehovah your God commanded you,
1 Kings 13:22	but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.
1 Kings 13:23	And it happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, that is, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1 Kings 13:24	And when he had gone, a lion met him on the road, and killed him: and his body was thrown in the road, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.
1 Kings 13:25	And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body thrown in the road, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
1 Kings 13:26	And when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of Yehovah: therefore Yehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and killed him, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke to him.
1 Kings 13:27	And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the donkey for me. And they saddled it.
1 Kings 13:28	And he went and found his body thrown in the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.
1 Kings 13:29	And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the donkey, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.
1 Kings 13:30	And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
1 Kings 13:31	And it happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
1 Kings 13:32	For the saying which he cried by the word of Yehovah against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
1 Kings 13:33	After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
1 Kings 13:34	And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
1 Kings 14:1	At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
1 Kings 14:2	And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, please, and disguise yourself, that you may not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.
1 Kings 14:3	And take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him: he will tell you what shall become of the child.
1 Kings 14:4	And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were dim because of his age.
1 Kings 14:5	And Yehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shall you say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.
1 Kings 14:6	And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, you wife of Jeroboam; why do you pretend to be another? for I am sent to you with heavy news.
1 Kings 14:7	Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel: Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over my people Israel,
1 Kings 14:8	and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes,
1 Kings 14:9	but have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, and cast images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:
1 Kings 14:10	therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both the one shut up and the one left free in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is all gone.
1 Kings 14:11	Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat: for Yehovah has spoken it.
1 Kings 14:12	Arise therefore, go to your house: and when your feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
1 Kings 14:13	And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Yehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
1 Kings 14:14	Moreover Yehovah will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
1 Kings 14:15	For Yehovah will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Yehovah to anger.
1 Kings 14:16	And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel sin.
1 Kings 14:17	And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
1 Kings 14:18	And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
1 Kings 14:19	And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
1 Kings 14:20	And the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 14:21	And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
1 Kings 14:22	And Judah did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
1 Kings 14:23	For they also built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
1 Kings 14:24	and there were also male cult prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yehovah drove out before the children of Israel.
1 Kings 14:25	And it happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
1 Kings 14:26	and he took away the treasures of the house of Yehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
1 Kings 14:27	And king Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
1 Kings 14:28	And it was so, that, as often as the king went into the house of Yehovah, the guard carried them, and brought them back into the guardroom.
1 Kings 14:29	Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
1 Kings 14:30	And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
1 Kings 14:31	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And Abijam his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:1	Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat Abijam began to reign over Judah.
1 Kings 15:2	He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:3	And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.
1 Kings 15:4	Nevertheless for David’s sake Yehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;
1 Kings 15:5	because David did what was right in the eyes of Yehovah, and did not turn aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
1 Kings 15:6	Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
1 Kings 15:7	And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
1 Kings 15:8	And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:9	And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel Asa began to reign over Judah.
1 Kings 15:10	And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:11	And Asa did what was right in the eyes of Yehovah, as David his father did.
1 Kings 15:12	And he put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
1 Kings 15:13	And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
1 Kings 15:14	But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yehovah all his days.
1 Kings 15:15	And he brought into the house of Yehovah the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
1 Kings 15:16	And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1 Kings 15:17	And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
1 Kings 15:18	Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
1 Kings 15:19	There is a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father: behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.
1 Kings 15:20	And Ben-hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
1 Kings 15:21	And it happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he stopped building Ramah, and lived in Tirzah.
1 Kings 15:22	Then king Asa made a proclamation to all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
1 Kings 15:23	Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
1 Kings 15:24	And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:25	And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
1 Kings 15:26	And he did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.
1 Kings 15:27	And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
1 Kings 15:28	So in the third year of Asa king of Judah Baasha killed him, and reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:29	And it happened that, as soon as he was king, he struck down all the house of Jeroboam: he did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according to the saying of Yehovah, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;
1 Kings 15:30	for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yehovah, the God of Israel, to anger.
1 Kings 15:31	Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 15:32	And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1 Kings 15:33	In the third year of Asa king of Judah Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.
1 Kings 15:34	And he did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.
1 Kings 16:1	And the word of Yehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
1 Kings 16:2	Since I exalted you out of the dust, and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and have made my people Israel sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
1 Kings 16:3	behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1 Kings 16:4	Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.
1 Kings 16:5	Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:6	And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 16:7	And moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani the word of Yehovah came against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yehovah, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it down.
1 Kings 16:8	In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two years.
1 Kings 16:9	And his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:
1 Kings 16:10	and Zimri went in and struck him, and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
1 Kings 16:11	And it happened, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck down all the house of Baasha: he did not leave him a single male, neither of his relatives, nor of his friends.
1 Kings 16:12	Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
1 Kings 16:13	for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and with which they made Israel sin, to provoke Yehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings 16:14	Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:15	In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
1 Kings 16:16	And the people who were encamped heard it said, Zimri has conspired, and has also struck down the king: therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
1 Kings 16:17	And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
1 Kings 16:18	And it happened, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the citadel of the king’s house, and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
1 Kings 16:19	for his sins which he sinned in doing what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel sin.
1 Kings 16:20	Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the treason that he committed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:21	Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
1 Kings 16:22	But the people who followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
1 Kings 16:23	In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah Omri began to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years: six years he reigned in Tirzah.
1 Kings 16:24	And he bought the hill Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.
1 Kings 16:25	And Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and dealt wickedly above all who were before him.
1 Kings 16:26	For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel sin, to provoke Yehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings 16:27	Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:28	So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 16:29	And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
1 Kings 16:30	And Ahab the son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah above all who were before him.
1 Kings 16:31	And it happened, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and bowed down to him.
1 Kings 16:32	And he erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1 Kings 16:33	And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did still more to provoke Yehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
1 Kings 16:34	In his days Hiel the Beth-elite built Jericho: he laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
1 Kings 17:1	And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Yehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
1 Kings 17:2	And the word of Yehovah came to him, saying,
1 Kings 17:3	Go away from here, and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is east of the Jordan.
1 Kings 17:4	And it shall be, that you shall drink from the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
1 Kings 17:5	So he went and did according to the word of Yehovah; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is east of the Jordan.
1 Kings 17:6	And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
1 Kings 17:7	And it happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
1 Kings 17:8	And the word of Yehovah came to him, saying,
1 Kings 17:9	Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.
1 Kings 17:10	So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Bring me, please, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1 Kings 17:11	And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, please, a morsel of bread in your hand.
1 Kings 17:12	And she said, As Yehovah your God lives, I do not have a cake, only a handful of flour in the jar, and a little oil in the jug: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
1 Kings 17:13	And Elijah said to her, Do not fear; go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for yourself and for your son.
1 Kings 17:14	For thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jug of oil run dry, until the day that Yehovah sends rain upon the earth.
1 Kings 17:15	And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her household, ate many days.
1 Kings 17:16	The jar of flour was not used up, nor did the jug of oil run dry, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke by Elijah.
1 Kings 17:17	And it happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe, that there was no breath left in him.
1 Kings 17:18	And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O you man of God? you have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son!
1 Kings 17:19	And he said to her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper room, where he was staying, and laid him upon his own bed.
1 Kings 17:20	And he cried to Yehovah, and said, O Yehovah my God, have you also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?
1 Kings 17:21	And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Yehovah, and said, O Yehovah my God, please, let this child’s soul come into him again.
1 Kings 17:22	And Yehovah listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1 Kings 17:23	And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the upper room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, your son lives.
1 Kings 17:24	And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yehovah in your mouth is truth.
1 Kings 18:1	And it happened after many days, that the word of Yehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
1 Kings 18:2	And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.
1 Kings 18:3	And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yehovah greatly:
1 Kings 18:4	for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifties in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
1 Kings 18:5	And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks: perhaps we may find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, that we may not lose all the beasts.
1 Kings 18:6	So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
1 Kings 18:7	And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?
1 Kings 18:8	And he answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
1 Kings 18:9	And he said, How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
1 Kings 18:10	As Yehovah your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you: and when they said, He is not here, he made the kingdom and nation swear an oath that they had not found you.
1 Kings 18:11	And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
1 Kings 18:12	And it will happen, as soon as I have gone from you, that the Spirit of Yehovah will carry you where I do not know; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me: but I your servant have feared Yehovah from my youth.
1 Kings 18:13	Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Yehovah’s prophets by fifties in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
1 Kings 18:14	And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here; and he will kill me.
1 Kings 18:15	And Elijah said, As Yehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.
1 Kings 18:16	So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
1 Kings 18:17	And it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?
1 Kings 18:18	And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yehovah, and you have followed the Baalim.
1 Kings 18:19	Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel at mount Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.
1 Kings 18:20	So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.
1 Kings 18:21	And Elijah came near to all the people, and said, How long will you go limping between the two sides? if Yehovah is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.
1 Kings 18:22	Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Yehovah; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
1 Kings 18:23	Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
1 Kings 18:24	And you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Yehovah; and the God who answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
1 Kings 18:25	And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bull for yourselves, and prepare it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.
1 Kings 18:26	And they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor anyone who answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made.
1 Kings 18:27	And it happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.
1 Kings 18:28	And they cried aloud, and cut themselves according to their custom with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.
1 Kings 18:29	And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening oblation; but there was neither voice, nor anyone to answer, nor anyone who paid attention.
1 Kings 18:30	And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of Yehovah that was thrown down.
1 Kings 18:31	And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yehovah came, saying, Israel shall be your name.
1 Kings 18:32	And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Yehovah; and he made a trench around the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
1 Kings 18:33	And he put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.
1 Kings 18:34	And he said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.
1 Kings 18:35	And the water ran around the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
1 Kings 18:36	And it happened at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Yehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
1 Kings 18:37	Hear me, O Yehovah, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yehovah, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.
1 Kings 18:38	Then the fire of Yehovah fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
1 Kings 18:39	And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yehovah, he is God; Yehovah, he is God.
1 Kings 18:40	And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape. And they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.
1 Kings 18:41	And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.
1 Kings 18:42	So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.
1 Kings 18:43	And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
1 Kings 18:44	And it happened at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, a cloud is rising out of the sea, as small as a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Get your chariot ready, and go down, so that the rain does not stop you.
1 Kings 18:45	And it happened in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:
1 Kings 18:46	and the hand of Yehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
1 Kings 19:1	And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and also how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
1 Kings 19:2	Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
1 Kings 19:3	And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
1 Kings 19:4	But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yehovah, take away my life; for I am no better than my fathers.
1 Kings 19:5	And he lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
1 Kings 19:6	And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.
1 Kings 19:7	And the angel of Yehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.
1 Kings 19:8	And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mountain of God.
1 Kings 19:9	And he came there to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Yehovah came to him, and he said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
1 Kings 19:10	And he said, I have been very jealous for Yehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings 19:11	And he said, Go out, and stand upon the mountain before Yehovah. And, behold, Yehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke the rocks in pieces before Yehovah; but Yehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yehovah was not in the earthquake:
1 Kings 19:12	and after the earthquake a fire; but Yehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19:13	And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
1 Kings 19:14	And he said, I have been very jealous for Yehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings 19:15	And Yehovah said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when you come, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;
1 Kings 19:16	and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.
1 Kings 19:17	And it shall happen, that whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael Jehu shall kill; and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu Elisha shall kill.
1 Kings 19:18	Yet I will leave for myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.
1 Kings 19:19	So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
1 Kings 19:20	And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, please, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
1 Kings 19:21	And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and boiled their flesh with the equipment of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
1 Kings 20:1	And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
1 Kings 20:2	And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad,
1 Kings 20:3	Your silver and your gold are mine; your wives also and your children, even the finest, are mine.
1 Kings 20:4	And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to your saying, my lord, O king; I am yours, and all that I have.
1 Kings 20:5	And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, I indeed sent to you, saying, You shall deliver to me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
1 Kings 20:6	but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasing in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
1 Kings 20:7	Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take note, please, and see how this man is seeking trouble: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not refuse him.
1 Kings 20:8	And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do not listen, nor consent.
1 Kings 20:9	Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
1 Kings 20:10	And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, May the gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me.
1 Kings 20:11	And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him who puts on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.
1 Kings 20:12	And it happened, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the tents, that he said to his servants, Take your positions. And they took their positions against the city.
1 Kings 20:13	And, behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus says Yehovah, Have you seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
1 Kings 20:14	And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says Yehovah, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, You.
1 Kings 20:15	Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
1 Kings 20:16	And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the tents, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
1 Kings 20:17	And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
1 Kings 20:18	And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.
1 Kings 20:19	So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
1 Kings 20:20	And they killed every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
1 Kings 20:21	And the king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
1 Kings 20:22	And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and take note, and see what you do; for in the spring the king of Syria will come up against you.
1 Kings 20:23	And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we: but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
1 Kings 20:24	And do this thing: remove the kings, every man from his place, and put commanders in their place;
1 Kings 20:25	and muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
1 Kings 20:26	And it happened in the spring, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
1 Kings 20:27	And the children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the country.
1 Kings 20:28	And a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Yehovah, Because the Syrians have said, Yehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
1 Kings 20:29	And they encamped opposite one another seven days. And so it was, that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed of the Syrians a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
1 Kings 20:30	But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
1 Kings 20:31	And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, please, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save your life.
1 Kings 20:32	So they put sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Please, let me live. And he said, Is he still alive? he is my brother.
1 Kings 20:33	Now the men were watching for a sign, and quickly caught up whether it was his mind; and they said, Your brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came out to him; and he made him come up into the chariot.
1 Kings 20:34	And Ben-hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I, said Ahab, will let you go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
1 Kings 20:35	And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of Yehovah, Strike me, please. And the man refused to strike him.
1 Kings 20:36	Then he said to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of Yehovah, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion shall kill you. And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
1 Kings 20:37	Then he found another man, and said, Strike me, please. And the man struck him, striking and wounding him.
1 Kings 20:38	So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
1 Kings 20:39	And as the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Guard this man: if by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
1 Kings 20:40	And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.
1 Kings 20:41	And he hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
1 Kings 20:42	And he said to him, Thus says Yehovah, Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
1 Kings 20:43	And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
1 Kings 21:1	And it happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1 Kings 21:2	And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.
1 Kings 21:3	And Naboth said to Ahab, Yehovah forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.
1 Kings 21:4	And Ahab came into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
1 Kings 21:5	But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?
1 Kings 21:6	And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.
1 Kings 21:7	And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
1 Kings 21:8	So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, and who lived with Naboth.
1 Kings 21:9	And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
1 Kings 21:10	and set two men, worthless fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, You cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.
1 Kings 21:11	And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, just as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
1 Kings 21:12	They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
1 Kings 21:13	And the two men, the worthless fellows, came in and sat before him: and the worthless fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
1 Kings 21:14	Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.
1 Kings 21:15	And it happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
1 Kings 21:16	And it happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
1 Kings 21:17	And the word of Yehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings 21:18	Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
1 Kings 21:19	And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Yehovah, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Yehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
1 Kings 21:20	And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of Yehovah.
1 Kings 21:21	Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab every male, both the one shut up and the one left free in Israel:
1 Kings 21:22	and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel sin.
1 Kings 21:23	And of Jezebel also Yehovah spoke, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
1 Kings 21:24	Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.
1 Kings 21:25	(But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
1 Kings 21:26	And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yehovah cast out before the children of Israel.)
1 Kings 21:27	And it happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went about dejectedly.
1 Kings 21:28	And the word of Yehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings 21:29	Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days I will bring the evil upon his house.
1 Kings 22:1	And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
1 Kings 22:2	And it happened in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:3	And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we keep quiet, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
1 Kings 22:4	And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
1 Kings 22:5	And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, please, for the word of Yehovah.
1 Kings 22:6	Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
1 Kings 22:7	But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here another prophet of Yehovah, that we may inquire of him?
1 Kings 22:8	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may inquire of Yehovah, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
1 Kings 22:9	Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly.
1 Kings 22:10	Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
1 Kings 22:11	And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and said, Thus says Yehovah, With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.
1 Kings 22:12	And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Yehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.
1 Kings 22:13	And the messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth: let your word, please, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.
1 Kings 22:14	And Micaiah said, As Yehovah lives, what Yehovah says to me, that I will speak.
1 Kings 22:15	And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Yehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.
1 Kings 22:16	And the king said to him, How many times shall I make you swear that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yehovah?
1 Kings 22:17	And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
1 Kings 22:18	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?
1 Kings 22:19	And Micaiah said, Therefore hear the word of Yehovah: I saw Yehovah sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
1 Kings 22:20	And Yehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said one thing; and another said another.
1 Kings 22:21	And a spirit came out, and stood before Yehovah, and said, I will entice him.
1 Kings 22:22	And Yehovah said to him, By what means? And he said, I will go out, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall entice him, and shall prevail also: go out, and do so.
1 Kings 22:23	Now therefore, behold, Yehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yehovah has spoken evil concerning you.
1 Kings 22:24	Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of Yehovah go from me to speak to you?
1 Kings 22:25	And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.
1 Kings 22:26	And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
1 Kings 22:27	and say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
1 Kings 22:28	And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, Yehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, you peoples, all of you.
1 Kings 22:29	So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
1 Kings 22:30	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
1 Kings 22:31	Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight with neither small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:32	And it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel; and they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
1 Kings 22:33	And it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
1 Kings 22:34	And a certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded.
1 Kings 22:35	And the battle increased that day: and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
1 Kings 22:36	And a cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country.
1 Kings 22:37	So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
1 Kings 22:38	And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the prostitutes washed themselves there); according to the word of Yehovah which he spoke.
1 Kings 22:39	Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings 22:40	So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 22:41	And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:42	Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
1 Kings 22:43	And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the eyes of Yehovah: however, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
1 Kings 22:44	And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:45	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
1 Kings 22:46	And the remnant of the male cult prostitutes, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
1 Kings 22:47	And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
1 Kings 22:48	Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they did not go; for the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
1 Kings 22:49	Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
1 Kings 22:50	And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; And Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 22:51	Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
1 Kings 22:52	And he did what was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, by which he made Israel sin.
1 Kings 22:53	And he served Baal, and bowed down to him, and provoked to anger Yehovah, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
2 Kings 1:1	And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Kings 1:2	And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.
2 Kings 1:3	But the angel of Yehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
2 Kings 1:4	Now therefore thus says Yehovah, You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.
2 Kings 1:5	And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why is it that you have returned?
2 Kings 1:6	And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says Yehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but shall surely die.
2 Kings 1:7	And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
2 Kings 1:8	And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and wearing a belt of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
2 Kings 1:9	Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spoke to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
2 Kings 1:10	And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2 Kings 1:11	And again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
2 Kings 1:12	And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2 Kings 1:13	And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, O man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
2 Kings 1:14	Behold, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in your sight.
2 Kings 1:15	And the angel of Yehovah said to Elijah, Go down with him: do not be afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
2 Kings 1:16	And he said to him, Thus says Yehovah, Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but shall surely die.
2 Kings 1:17	So he died according to the word of Yehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
2 Kings 1:18	Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings 2:1	And it happened, when Yehovah was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Kings 2:2	And Elijah said to Elisha, Please stay here; for Yehovah has sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Beth-el.
2 Kings 2:3	And the sons of the prophets who were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that Yehovah will take away your master from your head today? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold your peace.
2 Kings 2:4	And Elijah said to him, Elisha, please stay here; for Yehovah has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.
2 Kings 2:5	And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that Yehovah will take away your master from your head today? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold your peace.
2 Kings 2:6	And Elijah said to him, Please stay here; for Yehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And the two of them went on.
2 Kings 2:7	And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance: and the two of them stood by the Jordan.
2 Kings 2:8	And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided to one side and to the other, so that the two of them went over on dry ground.
2 Kings 2:9	And it happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.
2 Kings 2:10	And he said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.
2 Kings 2:11	And it happened, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2 Kings 2:12	And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
2 Kings 2:13	He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
2 Kings 2:14	And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where is Yehovah, the God of Elijah? and when he also had struck the waters, they were divided to one side and to the other; and Elisha went over.
2 Kings 2:15	And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
2 Kings 2:16	And they said to him, Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men; please let them go and seek your master, lest the Spirit of Yehovah has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.
2 Kings 2:17	And when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but did not find him.
2 Kings 2:18	And they came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Do not go?
2 Kings 2:19	And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is bad, and the land miscarries.
2 Kings 2:20	And he said, Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.
2 Kings 2:21	And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast salt in it, and said, Thus says Yehovah, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.
2 Kings 2:22	So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
2 Kings 2:23	And he went up from there to Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead.
2 Kings 2:24	And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Yehovah. And two she-bears came out of the wood, and tore forty-two of the lads.
2 Kings 2:25	And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
2 Kings 3:1	Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Kings 3:2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
2 Kings 3:3	Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.
2 Kings 3:4	Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
2 Kings 3:5	But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
2 Kings 3:6	And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
2 Kings 3:7	And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
2 Kings 3:8	And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
2 Kings 3:9	So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.
2 Kings 3:10	And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Yehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
2 Kings 3:11	But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yehovah, so that we may inquire of Yehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
2 Kings 3:12	And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Yehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
2 Kings 3:13	And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No; for Yehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
2 Kings 3:14	And Elisha said, As Yehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
2 Kings 3:15	But now bring me a minstrel. And it happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yehovah came upon him.
2 Kings 3:16	And he said, Thus says Yehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.
2 Kings 3:17	For thus says Yehovah, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you shall drink, both you and your cattle and your beasts.
2 Kings 3:18	And this is only a light thing in the sight of Yehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
2 Kings 3:19	And you shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
2 Kings 3:20	And it happened in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
2 Kings 3:21	Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
2 Kings 3:22	And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood:
2 Kings 3:23	and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other down: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
2 Kings 3:24	And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land striking the Moabites.
2 Kings 3:25	And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth only they left its stones; however, the slingers went around it, and struck it.
2 Kings 3:26	And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
2 Kings 3:27	Then he took his eldest son who should have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt-offering on the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
2 Kings 4:1	Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared Yehovah: and the creditor has come to take to him my two children to be slaves.
2 Kings 4:2	And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me; what have you in the house? And she said, Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.
2 Kings 4:3	Then he said, Go, borrow vessels from outside, from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not borrow a few.
2 Kings 4:4	And you shall go in, and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and you shall set aside that which is full.
2 Kings 4:5	So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.
2 Kings 4:6	And it happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not another vessel. And the oil stopped.
2 Kings 4:7	Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and you and your sons live on the rest.
2 Kings 4:8	And it happened one day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a great woman; and she urged him to eat bread. And so it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
2 Kings 4:9	And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.
2 Kings 4:10	Please let us make a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.
2 Kings 4:11	And it happened one day, that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.
2 Kings 4:12	And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
2 Kings 4:13	And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? would you be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.
2 Kings 4:14	And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no son, and her husband is old.
2 Kings 4:15	And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
2 Kings 4:16	And he said, At this season, when the time comes around, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.
2 Kings 4:17	And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
2 Kings 4:18	And when the child was grown, it happened one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
2 Kings 4:19	And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.
2 Kings 4:20	And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
2 Kings 4:21	And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
2 Kings 4:22	And she called to her husband, and said, Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
2 Kings 4:23	And he said, Why will you go to him today? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
2 Kings 4:24	Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; do not slow down the riding for me, unless I tell you.
2 Kings 4:25	So she went, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it happened, when the man of God saw her at a distance, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:
2 Kings 4:26	please run now to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? is it well with your husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
2 Kings 4:27	And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is distressed within her; and Yehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.
2 Kings 4:28	Then she said, Did I ask my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
2 Kings 4:29	Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, do not salute him; and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2 Kings 4:30	And the mother of the child said, As Yehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And he arose, and followed her.
2 Kings 4:31	And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child has not awakened.
2 Kings 4:32	And when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
2 Kings 4:33	He went in therefore, and shut the door on the two of them, and prayed to Yehovah.
2 Kings 4:34	And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
2 Kings 4:35	Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
2 Kings 4:36	And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she had come in to him, he said, Take up your son.
2 Kings 4:37	Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
2 Kings 4:38	And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.
2 Kings 4:39	And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds, his lap full, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they did not know them.
2 Kings 4:40	So they poured out for the men to eat. And it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat of it.
2 Kings 4:41	But he said, Then bring flour. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
2 Kings 4:42	And a man came from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.
2 Kings 4:43	And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave some over.
2 Kings 4:44	So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some over, according to the word of Yehovah.
2 Kings 5:1	Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yehovah had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 Kings 5:2	And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
2 Kings 5:3	And she said to her mistress, If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! then he would cure him of his leprosy.
2 Kings 5:4	And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.
2 Kings 5:5	And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
2 Kings 5:6	And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, And now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.
2 Kings 5:7	And it happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to cure a man of his leprosy? but please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.
2 Kings 5:8	And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
2 Kings 5:9	So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2 Kings 5:10	And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.
2 Kings 5:11	But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and cure the leper.
2 Kings 5:12	Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
2 Kings 5:13	And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?
2 Kings 5:14	Then he went down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2 Kings 5:15	And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, please take a present from your servant.
2 Kings 5:16	But he said, As Yehovah lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
2 Kings 5:17	And Naaman said, If not, then please let there be given to your servant two mules’ burden of earth; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yehovah.
2 Kings 5:18	In this thing may Yehovah pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yehovah pardon your servant in this thing.
2 Kings 5:19	And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
2 Kings 5:20	But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as Yehovah lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.
2 Kings 5:21	So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
2 Kings 5:22	And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; please give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.
2 Kings 5:23	And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
2 Kings 5:24	And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.
2 Kings 5:25	But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.
2 Kings 5:26	And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?
2 Kings 5:27	The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cling to you, and to your seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
2 Kings 6:1	And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before you is too narrow for us.
2 Kings 6:2	Please let us go to the Jordan, and take from there every man a beam, and let us make a place for us there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go.
2 Kings 6:3	And one said, Please be pleased to go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.
2 Kings 6:4	So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
2 Kings 6:5	But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.
2 Kings 6:6	And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron float.
2 Kings 6:7	And he said, Take it up to you. So he put out his hand, and took it.
2 Kings 6:8	Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place my camp shall be.
2 Kings 6:9	And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you do not pass such a place; for there the Syrians are coming down.
2 Kings 6:10	And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
2 Kings 6:11	And the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
2 Kings 6:12	And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.
2 Kings 6:13	And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
2 Kings 6:14	Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
2 Kings 6:15	And when the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, a host with horses and chariots was all around the city. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! what shall we do?
2 Kings 6:16	And he answered, Do not fear; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
2 Kings 6:17	And Elisha prayed, and said, Yehovah, please open his eyes, that he may see. And Yehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2 Kings 6:18	And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yehovah, and said, Please strike this people with blindness. And he struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
2 Kings 6:19	And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them to Samaria.
2 Kings 6:20	And it happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Yehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Yehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
2 Kings 6:21	And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I strike them? shall I strike them?
2 Kings 6:22	And he answered, You shall not strike them: would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
2 Kings 6:23	And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
2 Kings 6:24	And it happened after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
2 Kings 6:25	And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
2 Kings 6:26	And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
2 Kings 6:27	And he said, If Yehovah does not help you, from where shall I help you? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
2 Kings 6:28	And the king said to her, What troubles you? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
2 Kings 6:29	So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son.
2 Kings 6:30	And it happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall); and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his flesh.
2 Kings 6:31	Then he said, May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
2 Kings 6:32	But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
2 Kings 6:33	And while he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him: and he said, Behold, this evil is from Yehovah; why should I wait for Yehovah any longer?
2 Kings 7:1	And Elisha said, Hear the word of Yehovah: thus says Yehovah, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Kings 7:2	Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Yehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.
2 Kings 7:3	Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we sit here until we die?
2 Kings 7:4	If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us go over to the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.
2 Kings 7:5	And they rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
2 Kings 7:6	For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
2 Kings 7:7	Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
2 Kings 7:8	And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried from there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried from there also, and went and hid it.
2 Kings 7:9	Then they said one to another, We are not doing right; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household.
2 Kings 7:10	So they came and called to the gatekeeper of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.
2 Kings 7:11	And he called the gatekeepers; and they told it to the king’s household within.
2 Kings 7:12	And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.
2 Kings 7:13	And one of his servants answered and said, Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see.
2 Kings 7:14	They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
2 Kings 7:15	And they went after them to the Jordan: and, look, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
2 Kings 7:16	And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yehovah.
2 Kings 7:17	And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trampled him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
2 Kings 7:18	And it happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;
2 Kings 7:19	and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Yehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? and he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it:
2 Kings 7:20	it happened even so to him; for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
2 Kings 8:1	Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go, you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn: for Yehovah has called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 Kings 8:2	And the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
2 Kings 8:3	And it happened at the end of the seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
2 Kings 8:4	Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.
2 Kings 8:5	And it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
2 Kings 8:6	And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
2 Kings 8:7	And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God has come here.
2 Kings 8:8	And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
2 Kings 8:9	So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Your son Ben-hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
2 Kings 8:10	And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You shall surely recover; however, Yehovah has shown me that he shall surely die.
2 Kings 8:11	And he fixed his gaze steadily on him, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
2 Kings 8:12	And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and you will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.
2 Kings 8:13	And Hazael said, But what is your servant, who is only a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, Yehovah has shown me that you shall be king over Syria.
2 Kings 8:14	Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he answered, He told me that you would surely recover.
2 Kings 8:15	And it happened on the next day, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his place.
2 Kings 8:16	And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings 8:17	He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
2 Kings 8:18	And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah.
2 Kings 8:19	However, Yehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
2 Kings 8:20	In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
2 Kings 8:21	Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
2 Kings 8:22	So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
2 Kings 8:23	And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings 8:24	And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 8:25	In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings 8:26	Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
2 Kings 8:27	And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
2 Kings 8:28	And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
2 Kings 8:29	And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
2 Kings 9:1	And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Kings 9:2	And when you come there, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner chamber.
2 Kings 9:3	Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus says Yehovah, I have anointed you king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and do not wait.
2 Kings 9:4	So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Kings 9:5	And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us all? And he said, To you, O captain.
2 Kings 9:6	And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, I have anointed you king over the people of Yehovah, even over Israel.
2 Kings 9:7	And you shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yehovah, at the hand of Jezebel.
2 Kings 9:8	For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
2 Kings 9:9	And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
2 Kings 9:10	And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
2 Kings 9:11	Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, Is all well? why did this mad fellow come to you? And he said to them, You know the man and what his talk was.
2 Kings 9:12	And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus he spoke to me, saying, Thus says Yehovah, I have anointed you king over Israel.
2 Kings 9:13	Then they hurried, and each man took his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king.
2 Kings 9:14	So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;
2 Kings 9:15	but king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this is your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.
2 Kings 9:16	So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
2 Kings 9:17	Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
2 Kings 9:18	So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he does not come back.
2 Kings 9:19	Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus says the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
2 Kings 9:20	And the watchman told, saying, He came even to them, and does not come back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.
2 Kings 9:21	And Joram said, Make ready. And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
2 Kings 9:22	And it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
2 Kings 9:23	And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
2 Kings 9:24	And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot.
2 Kings 9:25	Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and you rode together after Ahab his father, Yehovah laid this burden on him:
2 Kings 9:26	Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says Yehovah; and I will repay you in this plot, says Yehovah. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot of ground, according to the word of Yehovah.
2 Kings 9:27	But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Strike him also in the chariot: and they struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
2 Kings 9:28	And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
2 Kings 9:29	And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
2 Kings 9:30	And when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.
2 Kings 9:31	And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, you Zimri, your master’s murderer?
2 Kings 9:32	And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And two or three eunuchs looked out to him.
2 Kings 9:33	And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trampled her under foot.
2 Kings 9:34	And when he had come in, he ate and drank; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.
2 Kings 9:35	And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
2 Kings 9:36	Therefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This is the word of Yehovah, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;
2 Kings 9:37	and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
2 Kings 10:1	Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up the sons of Ahab, saying,
2 Kings 10:2	And now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;
2 Kings 10:3	look out the best and most fitting of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.
2 Kings 10:4	But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings did not stand before him: how then shall we stand?
2 Kings 10:5	And he who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants, and will do all that you tell us; we will not make any man king: you do that which is good in your eyes.
2 Kings 10:6	Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by this time tomorrow. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
2 Kings 10:7	And it happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
2 Kings 10:8	And a messenger came, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.
2 Kings 10:9	And it happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, You are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him; but who struck down all these?
2 Kings 10:10	Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of Yehovah, which Yehovah spoke concerning the house of Ahab: for Yehovah has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.
2 Kings 10:11	So Jehu struck down all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
2 Kings 10:12	And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,
2 Kings 10:13	Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are you? And they answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah: and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
2 Kings 10:14	And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing-house, forty-two men; nor did he leave any of them.
2 Kings 10:15	And when he had departed from there, he came upon Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
2 Kings 10:16	And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Yehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot.
2 Kings 10:17	And when he came to Samaria, he struck down all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yehovah, which he spoke to Elijah.
2 Kings 10:18	And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.
2 Kings 10:19	Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be missing: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever is missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in cunning, in order that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
2 Kings 10:20	And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
2 Kings 10:21	And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
2 Kings 10:22	And he said to him who was over the wardrobe, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
2 Kings 10:23	And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there are none here with you of the servants of Yehovah, but the worshippers of Baal only.
2 Kings 10:24	And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
2 Kings 10:25	And it happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and kill them; let none come forth. And they struck them down with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
2 Kings 10:26	And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.
2 Kings 10:27	And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
2 Kings 10:28	Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
2 Kings 10:29	However, from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel sin, Jehu did not depart, that is, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.
2 Kings 10:30	And Yehovah said to Jehu, Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
2 Kings 10:31	But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yehovah, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel sin.
2 Kings 10:32	In those days Yehovah began to cut off from Israel: and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel;
2 Kings 10:33	from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
2 Kings 10:34	Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings 10:35	And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 10:36	And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
2 Kings 11:1	Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed.
2 Kings 11:2	But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were killed, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not killed;
2 Kings 11:3	And he was hidden with her in the house of Yehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
2 Kings 11:4	And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Yehovah; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath from them in the house of Yehovah, and showed them the king’s son.
2 Kings 11:5	And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that you shall do: a third of you, who come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
2 Kings 11:6	and a third shall be at the gate Sur; and a third at the gate behind the guard: so shall you keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
2 Kings 11:7	And the two companies of you, even all who go out on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Yehovah around the king.
2 Kings 11:8	And you shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be killed: and be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.
2 Kings 11:9	And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and each man took his men, those who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
2 Kings 11:10	And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 11:11	And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
2 Kings 11:12	Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.
2 Kings 11:13	And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Yehovah:
2 Kings 11:14	and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason!
2 Kings 11:15	And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the host, and said to them, Bring her out between the ranks; and him who follows her kill with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be killed in the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 11:16	So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house: and there she was killed.
2 Kings 11:17	And Jehoiada made a covenant between Yehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Yehovah’s people; between the king also and the people.
2 Kings 11:18	And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 11:19	And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Yehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
2 Kings 11:20	So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had killed with the sword at the king’s house.
2 Kings 11:21	Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
2 Kings 12:1	In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.
2 Kings 12:2	And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yehovah all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
2 Kings 12:3	However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
2 Kings 12:4	And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Yehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Yehovah,
2 Kings 12:5	let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found.
2 Kings 12:6	But it was so, that in the twenty-third year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
2 Kings 12:7	Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, Why do you not repair the breaches of the house? now therefore take no more money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
2 Kings 12:8	And the priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, nor repair the breaches of the house.
2 Kings 12:9	But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yehovah: and the priests who kept the threshold put in it all the money that was brought into the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 12:10	And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they tied up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 12:11	And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yehovah,
2 Kings 12:12	and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
2 Kings 12:13	But there were not made for the house of Yehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yehovah;
2 Kings 12:14	for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired with it the house of Yehovah.
2 Kings 12:15	Moreover they did not demand an accounting from the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully.
2 Kings 12:16	The money for the trespass-offerings, and the money for the sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Yehovah: it was the priests’.
2 Kings 12:17	Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
2 Kings 12:18	And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yehovah, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
2 Kings 12:19	Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings 12:20	And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck down Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.
2 Kings 12:21	For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 13:1	In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 Kings 13:2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.
2 Kings 13:3	And the anger of Yehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael, continually.
2 Kings 13:4	And Jehoahaz pleaded with Yehovah, and Yehovah listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
2 Kings 13:5	(And Yehovah gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as before.
2 Kings 13:6	Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel sin, but walked in them: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)
2 Kings 13:7	For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
2 Kings 13:8	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings 13:9	And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 13:10	In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
2 Kings 13:11	And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yehovah; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel sin; but he walked in them.
2 Kings 13:12	Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings 13:13	And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
2 Kings 13:14	Now Elisha had fallen sick with the sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!
2 Kings 13:15	And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows; and he took to him bow and arrows.
2 Kings 13:16	And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand upon the bow; and he put his hand upon it. And Elisha laid his hands upon the king’s hands.
2 Kings 13:17	And he said, Open the window eastward; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot; and he shot. And he said, Yehovah’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, until you have consumed them.
2 Kings 13:18	And he said, Take the arrows; and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Strike the ground; and he struck three times, and stopped.
2 Kings 13:19	And the man of God was angry with him, and said, You should have struck five or six times: then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it; whereas now you shall strike Syria only three times.
2 Kings 13:20	And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
2 Kings 13:21	And it happened, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
2 Kings 13:22	And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
2 Kings 13:23	But Yehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, nor did he cast them from his presence as yet.
2 Kings 13:24	And Hazael king of Syria died; and Ben-hadad his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 13:25	And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times Joash struck him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
2 Kings 14:1	In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings 14:2	He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
2 Kings 14:3	And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done.
2 Kings 14:4	However, the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
2 Kings 14:5	And it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father:
2 Kings 14:6	but the children of the murderers he did not put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.
2 Kings 14:7	He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, to this day.
2 Kings 14:8	Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
2 Kings 14:9	And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son as wife: and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled the thistle.
2 Kings 14:10	You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up: glory in it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
2 Kings 14:11	But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
2 Kings 14:12	And Judah was defeated before Israel; and they fled, every man to his tent.
2 Kings 14:13	And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

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

1 Chronicles 11:19	and said, My God forbid me, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

1 Chronicles 16:6	and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

1 Chronicles 16:15	Remember his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
1 Chronicles 16:16	The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath to Isaac,
1 Chronicles 16:17	And confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
1 Chronicles 16:18	Saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
1 Chronicles 16:19	When you were but a few men in number, Indeed, very few, and sojourners in it;
1 Chronicles 16:20	And they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
1 Chronicles 16:21	He allowed no man to do them wrong; Indeed, he reproved kings for their sakes,
1 Chronicles 16:22	Saying, Do not touch my anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
1 Chronicles 16:23	Sing to Yehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day.
1 Chronicles 16:24	Declare his glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples.
1 Chronicles 16:25	For great is Yehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods.
1 Chronicles 16:26	For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Yehovah made the heavens.
1 Chronicles 16:27	Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and gladness are in his place.
1 Chronicles 16:28	Ascribe to Yehovah, you kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe to Yehovah glory and strength;
1 Chronicles 16:29	Ascribe to Yehovah the glory due to his name: Bring an offering, and come before him; Worship Yehovah in holy array.
1 Chronicles 16:30	Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
1 Chronicles 16:31	Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, Yehovah reigns.
1 Chronicles 16:32	Let the sea roar, and its fullness; Let the field exult, and all that is in it;
1 Chronicles 16:33	Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Yehovah; For he comes to judge the earth.
1 Chronicles 16:34	O give thanks to Yehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endures forever.
1 Chronicles 16:35	And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us together and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to your holy name, And to triumph in your praise.
1 Chronicles 16:36	Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praised Yehovah.
1 Chronicles 16:37	So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
1 Chronicles 16:38	and Obed-edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
1 Chronicles 16:39	and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tabernacle of Yehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
1 Chronicles 16:40	to offer burnt-offerings to Yehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Yehovah, which he commanded to Israel;
1 Chronicles 16:41	and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yehovah, because his lovingkindness endures forever;
1 Chronicles 16:42	and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
1 Chronicles 16:43	And all the people departed, every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
1 Chronicles 17:1	And it happened, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Look, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yehovah dwells under curtains.
1 Chronicles 17:2	And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.
1 Chronicles 17:3	And it happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
1 Chronicles 17:4	Go and tell David my servant, Thus says Yehovah, You shall not build me a house to dwell in:
1 Chronicles 17:5	for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
1 Chronicles 17:6	In all places where I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
1 Chronicles 17:7	Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel:
1 Chronicles 17:8	and I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
1 Chronicles 17:9	And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; nor shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
1 Chronicles 17:10	and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yehovah will build you a house.
1 Chronicles 17:11	And it shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
1 Chronicles 17:12	He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
1 Chronicles 17:13	I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you;
1 Chronicles 17:14	but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.
1 Chronicles 17:15	According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
1 Chronicles 17:16	Then David the king went in, and sat before Yehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Yehovah God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
1 Chronicles 17:17	And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O Yehovah God.
1 Chronicles 17:18	What more can David say to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
1 Chronicles 17:19	O Yehovah, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
1 Chronicles 17:20	O Yehovah, there is none like you, nor is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
1 Chronicles 17:21	And what one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt?
1 Chronicles 17:22	For your people Israel you made your own people forever; and you, Yehovah, became their God.
1 Chronicles 17:23	And now, O Yehovah, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
1 Chronicles 17:24	And let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, Yehovah of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and the house of David your servant is established before you.
1 Chronicles 17:25	For you, O my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house: therefore your servant has found it in his heart to pray before you.
1 Chronicles 17:26	And now, O Yehovah, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant:
1 Chronicles 17:27	and now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you: for you, O Yehovah, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.

1 Chronicles 18:9	And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,
1 Chronicles 18:10	he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and struck him (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou); and he had with him all kinds of vessels of gold and silver and bronze.
1 Chronicles 18:11	These also king David dedicated to Yehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
1 Chronicles 18:12	Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1 Chronicles 18:13	And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Yehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.
1 Chronicles 18:14	And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness to all his people.
1 Chronicles 18:15	And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
1 Chronicles 18:16	and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
1 Chronicles 18:17	and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
1 Chronicles 19:1	And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
1 Chronicles 19:2	And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
1 Chronicles 19:3	But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
1 Chronicles 19:4	So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles 19:5	Then certain persons went, and told David how the men had been treated. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.
1 Chronicles 19:6	And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
1 Chronicles 19:7	So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
1 Chronicles 19:8	And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
1 Chronicles 19:9	And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
1 Chronicles 19:10	Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
1 Chronicles 19:11	And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
1 Chronicles 19:12	And he said, If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
1 Chronicles 19:13	Be of good courage, and let us show ourselves courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God: and may Yehovah do what seems good to him.
1 Chronicles 19:14	So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
1 Chronicles 19:15	And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 19:16	And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
1 Chronicles 19:17	And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
1 Chronicles 19:18	And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
1 Chronicles 19:19	And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: nor would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
1 Chronicles 20:1	And it happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
1 Chronicles 20:2	And David took the crown of their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought out the spoil of the city, exceedingly much.
1 Chronicles 20:3	And he brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 20:4	And it happened after this, that war arose at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
1 Chronicles 20:5	And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
1 Chronicles 20:6	And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
1 Chronicles 20:7	And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
1 Chronicles 20:8	These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles 21:1	And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
1 Chronicles 21:2	And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.
1 Chronicles 21:3	And Joab said, May Yehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?
1 Chronicles 21:4	Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 21:5	And Joab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. And all those of Israel were a million and a hundred thousand men who drew sword: and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew sword.
1 Chronicles 21:6	But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.
1 Chronicles 21:7	And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
1 Chronicles 21:8	And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity of your servant; for I have done very foolishly.
1 Chronicles 21:9	And Yehovah spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,
1 Chronicles 21:10	Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says Yehovah, I offer you three things: choose one of them, that I may do it to you.
1 Chronicles 21:11	So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says Yehovah, Take whichever you will:
1 Chronicles 21:12	either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days the sword of Yehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Yehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him who sent me.
1 Chronicles 21:13	And David said to Gad, I am in great distress: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Yehovah; for very great are his mercies: and do not let me fall into the hand of man.
1 Chronicles 21:14	So Yehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
1 Chronicles 21:15	And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Yehovah looked, and he relented of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay your hand. And the angel of Yehovah was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:16	And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
1 Chronicles 21:17	And David said to God, Is it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? It is I who have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let your hand, I pray you, O Yehovah my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against your people, that they should be plagued.
1 Chronicles 21:18	Then the angel of Yehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and raise an altar to Yehovah on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:19	And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of Yehovah.
1 Chronicles 21:20	And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
1 Chronicles 21:21	And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
1 Chronicles 21:22	Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build on it an altar to Yehovah: for the full price you shall give it to me, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
1 Chronicles 21:23	And Ornan said to David, Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes: look, I give you the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all.
1 Chronicles 21:24	And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will truly buy it for the full price: for I will not take what is yours for Yehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.
1 Chronicles 21:25	So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
1 Chronicles 21:26	And David built there an altar to Yehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Yehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
1 Chronicles 21:27	And Yehovah commanded the angel; and he put his sword back into its sheath.
1 Chronicles 21:28	At that time, when David saw that Yehovah had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
1 Chronicles 21:29	For the tabernacle of Yehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
1 Chronicles 21:30	But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yehovah.
1 Chronicles 22:1	Then David said, This is the house of Yehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.
1 Chronicles 22:2	And David commanded to gather together the sojourners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew dressed stones to build the house of God.
1 Chronicles 22:3	And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the clamps; and bronze in abundance beyond weighing;
1 Chronicles 22:4	and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and those of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
1 Chronicles 22:5	And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Yehovah must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
1 Chronicles 22:6	Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Yehovah, the God of Israel.
1 Chronicles 22:7	And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Yehovah my God.
1 Chronicles 22:8	But the word of Yehovah came to me, saying, You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars: you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
1 Chronicles 22:9	Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
1 Chronicles 22:10	He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.
1 Chronicles 22:11	Now, my son, may Yehovah be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of Yehovah your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
1 Chronicles 22:12	Only may Yehovah give you discretion and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel; that so you may keep the law of Yehovah your God.
1 Chronicles 22:13	Then you shall prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances with which Yehovah charged Moses concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; do not fear, nor be dismayed.
1 Chronicles 22:14	Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Yehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver, and of bronze and iron beyond weighing; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone I have prepared; and you may add to them.
1 Chronicles 22:15	Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men who are skillful in every kind of work:
1 Chronicles 22:16	of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Yehovah be with you.
1 Chronicles 22:17	David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
1 Chronicles 22:18	Is not Yehovah your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yehovah, and before his people.
1 Chronicles 22:19	Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Yehovah your God; arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Yehovah, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Yehovah.
1 Chronicles 23:1	Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1 Chronicles 23:2	And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
1 Chronicles 23:3	And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
1 Chronicles 23:4	Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;
1 Chronicles 23:5	and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them.
1 Chronicles 23:6	And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1 Chronicles 23:7	Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.
1 Chronicles 23:8	The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
1 Chronicles 23:9	The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of Ladan.
1 Chronicles 23:10	And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
1 Chronicles 23:11	And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.
1 Chronicles 23:12	The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
1 Chronicles 23:13	The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yehovah, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.
1 Chronicles 23:14	But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
1 Chronicles 23:15	The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
1 Chronicles 23:16	The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.
1 Chronicles 23:17	And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
1 Chronicles 23:18	The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.
1 Chronicles 23:19	The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

1 Chronicles 23:21	The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
1 Chronicles 23:22	And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.
1 Chronicles 23:23	The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
1 Chronicles 23:24	These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those of them who were counted, in the number of names by their heads, who did the work for the service of the house of Yehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
1 Chronicles 23:25	For David said, Yehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever:
1 Chronicles 23:26	and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.
1 Chronicles 23:27	For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
1 Chronicles 23:28	For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yehovah, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God;
1 Chronicles 23:29	for the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of what is baked in the pan, or of what is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size;
1 Chronicles 23:30	and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yehovah, and likewise at evening;
1 Chronicles 23:31	and to offer all burnt-offerings to Yehovah, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yehovah;
1 Chronicles 23:32	and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yehovah.
1 Chronicles 24:1	And the courses of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
1 Chronicles 24:2	But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
1 Chronicles 24:3	And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
1 Chronicles 24:4	And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus they were divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.
1 Chronicles 24:5	Thus they were divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
1 Chronicles 24:6	And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:18	the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
1 Chronicles 24:19	This was the ordering of them in their service, to come into the house of Yehovah according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yehovah, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
1 Chronicles 24:20	And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

1 Chronicles 24:29	Of Kish; the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel.
1 Chronicles 24:30	And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
1 Chronicles 24:31	These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
1 Chronicles 25:1	Moreover David and the captains of the host set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according to their service was:
1 Chronicles 25:2	of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.

1 Chronicles 25:6	All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
1 Chronicles 25:7	And the number of them, with their brothers who were instructed in singing to Yehovah, even all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.
1 Chronicles 25:8	And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.

1 Chronicles 28:3	But God said to me, You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.
1 Chronicles 28:4	However, Yehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever: for he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;
1 Chronicles 28:5	and of all my sons (for Yehovah has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Yehovah over Israel.

1 Chronicles 28:7	And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is constant to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.
1 Chronicles 28:8	Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yehovah, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yehovah your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
1 Chronicles 28:9	And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yehovah searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
1 Chronicles 28:10	Take heed now; for Yehovah has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
1 Chronicles 28:11	Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper rooms, and of its inner chambers, and of the place of the mercy seat;
1 Chronicles 28:12	and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Yehovah, and for all the chambers all around, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
1 Chronicles 28:13	also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yehovah;
1 Chronicles 28:14	of gold by weight for the vessels of gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; of silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
1 Chronicles 28:15	by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for their lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, silver by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;

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

Ezra 2:40	The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy-four.
Ezra 2:41	The singers: the children of Asaph, one hundred twenty-eight.
Ezra 2:42	The children of the gatekeepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, in all one hundred thirty-nine.
Ezra 2:43	The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth,
Ezra 2:44	the children of Keros, the children of Siaha, the children of Padon,
Ezra 2:45	the children of Lebanah, the children of Hagabah, the children of Akkub,
Ezra 2:46	the children of Hagab, the children of Shamlai, the children of Hanan,
Ezra 2:47	the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, the children of Reaiah,
Ezra 2:48	the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, the children of Gazzam,
Ezra 2:49	the children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of Besai,
Ezra 2:50	the children of Asnah, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephisim,
Ezra 2:51	the children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,
Ezra 2:52	the children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,
Ezra 2:53	the children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Temah,
Ezra 2:54	the children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.
Ezra 2:55	The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Hassophereth, the children of Peruda,
Ezra 2:56	the children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,
Ezra 2:57	the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the children of Ami.
Ezra 2:58	All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety-two.
Ezra 2:59	And these were those who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:
Ezra 2:60	the children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty-two.
Ezra 2:61	And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name.
Ezra 2:62	These sought their register among those who were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore they were deemed polluted and removed from the priesthood.
Ezra 2:63	And the governor said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest stood up with Urim and with Thummim.
Ezra 2:64	The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
Ezra 2:65	besides their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven: and they had two hundred singing men and singing women.
Ezra 2:66	Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five;
Ezra 2:67	their camels, four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
Ezra 2:68	And some of the heads of fathers’ houses, when they came to the house of Yehovah which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to set it up in its place:
Ezra 2:69	they gave according to their ability into the treasury of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.
Ezra 2:70	So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
Ezra 3:1	And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ezra 3:2	Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Ezra 3:3	And they set the altar on its base; for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries: and they offered burnt-offerings on it to Yehovah, even burnt-offerings morning and evening.
Ezra 3:4	And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
Ezra 3:5	and afterward the continual burnt-offering, and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Yehovah that were consecrated, and of every one who willingly offered a freewill-offering to Yehovah.
Ezra 3:6	From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt-offerings to Yehovah: but the foundation of the temple of Yehovah was not yet laid.
Ezra 3:7	They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, to those of Sidon, and to those of Tyre, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Cyrus king of Persia.
Ezra 3:8	Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Yehovah.
Ezra 3:9	Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
Ezra 3:10	And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yehovah, according to the order of David king of Israel.
Ezra 3:11	And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Yehovah, saying, For he is good, for his lovingkindness endures forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yehovah, because the foundation of the house of Yehovah was laid.
Ezra 3:12	But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
Ezra 3:13	so that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
Ezra 4:1	Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to Yehovah, the God of Israel;
Ezra 4:2	then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ houses, and said to them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here.
Ezra 4:3	But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ houses of Israel, said to them, You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yehovah, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.
Ezra 4:4	Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
Ezra 4:5	and hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra 4:6	And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezra 4:7	And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian script, and set forth in the Syrian language.
Ezra 4:8	Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this manner:
Ezra 4:9	then Rehum the chancellor wrote, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, the Dinaites, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites,
Ezra 4:10	and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over, and set in the city of Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River, and so forth.
Ezra 4:11	This is the copy of the letter that they sent to Artaxerxes the king: Your servants the men beyond the River, and so forth.
Ezra 4:12	Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came up from you have come to us to Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.
Ezra 4:13	Be it known now to the king, that, if this city is built, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be harmful to the kings.
Ezra 4:14	Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not fitting for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore we have sent and informed the king;
Ezra 4:15	that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: so you shall find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have stirred up sedition within it from old times; for which reason this city was laid waste.
Ezra 4:16	We inform the king that, if this city is built, and the walls finished, by this means you shall have no portion beyond the River.
Ezra 4:17	Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions who live in Samaria, and in the rest of the country beyond the River: Peace, and so forth.
Ezra 4:18	The letter which you sent to us has been plainly read before me.
Ezra 4:19	And I decreed, and search has been made, and it is found that this city from old times has made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made in it.
Ezra 4:20	There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all the country beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll were paid to them.
Ezra 4:21	Now make a decree to cause these men to cease, and that this city not be built, until a decree shall be made by me.
Ezra 4:22	And take heed that you are not slack in this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Ezra 4:23	Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them cease by force and power.
Ezra 4:24	Then the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra 5:1	Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel they prophesied to them.
Ezra 5:2	Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, rose up and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.
Ezra 5:3	At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions came to them, and said thus to them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
Ezra 5:4	Then we told them in this manner, what the names of the men were who were making this building.
Ezra 5:5	But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, until the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it.
Ezra 5:6	The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king;
Ezra 5:7	they sent a letter to him, in which was written thus: To Darius the king, all peace.
Ezra 5:8	Be it known to the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls; and this work goes on with diligence and prospers in their hands.
Ezra 5:9	Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?
Ezra 5:10	We also asked them their names, to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were at the head of them.
Ezra 5:11	And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was built these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.
Ezra 5:12	But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Ezra 5:13	But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Ezra 5:14	And the gold and silver vessels also of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought into the temple of Babylon, those Cyrus the king took out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
Ezra 5:15	and he said to him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.
Ezra 5:16	Then the same Sheshbazzar came, and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now it has been in building, and yet it is not completed.
Ezra 5:17	Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so, that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
Ezra 6:1	Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Ezra 6:2	And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll, and in it was thus written for a record:
Ezra 6:3	In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let its foundations be strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, and its breadth sixty cubits;
Ezra 6:4	with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house.
Ezra 6:5	And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought back to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place; and you shall put them in the house of God.
Ezra 6:6	Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, keep far away from there:
Ezra 6:7	let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place.
Ezra 6:8	Moreover I make a decree what you shall do for these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that from the king’s goods, even from the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they not be hindered.
Ezra 6:9	And whatever they have need of, both young bulls, and rams, and lambs, for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven; also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;
Ezra 6:10	that they may offer sacrifices of pleasing aroma to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ezra 6:11	Also I have made a decree, that whoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened on it; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:
Ezra 6:12	and may the God who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples who shall put out their hand to alter it, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence.
Ezra 6:13	Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence.
Ezra 6:14	And the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ezra 6:15	And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezra 6:16	And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Ezra 6:17	And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Ezra 6:18	And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ezra 6:19	And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Ezra 6:20	For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Ezra 6:21	And the children of Israel who had come back out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yehovah, the God of Israel, ate,
Ezra 6:22	and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Ezra 7:1	Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Ezra 7:2	the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Ezra 7:3	the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Ezra 7:4	the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Ezra 7:5	the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest—
Ezra 7:6	this Ezra went up from Babylon. And he was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yehovah, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Yehovah his God upon him.
Ezra 7:7	And some of the children of Israel went up, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezra 7:8	And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Ezra 7:9	For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezra 7:10	For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Yehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Ezra 7:11	Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Yehovah, and of his statutes to Israel:
Ezra 7:12	Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth.
Ezra 7:13	I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
Ezra 7:14	Because you are sent by the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand,
Ezra 7:15	and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
Ezra 7:16	and all the silver and gold that you shall find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;
Ezra 7:17	therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:18	And whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that according to the will of your God.
Ezra 7:19	And the vessels that are given you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:20	And whatever more shall be needed for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to provide, provide it out of the king’s treasure-house.
Ezra 7:21	And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,
Ezra 7:22	up to a hundred talents of silver, and up to a hundred measures of wheat, and up to a hundred baths of wine, and up to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
Ezra 7:23	Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezra 7:24	Also we inform you, that concerning any of the priests and Levites, the singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, upon them.
Ezra 7:25	And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach him who does not know them.
Ezra 7:26	And whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Ezra 7:27	Blessed be Yehovah, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of Yehovah which is in Jerusalem;
Ezra 7:28	and has extended lovingkindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of Yehovah my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Ezra 8:1	Now these are the heads of their fathers’ houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:
Ezra 8:2	Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush.
Ezra 8:3	Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty.
Ezra 8:4	Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males.
Ezra 8:5	Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males.
Ezra 8:6	And of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males.
Ezra 8:7	And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males.
Ezra 8:8	And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.
Ezra 8:9	Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
Ezra 8:10	And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred sixty males.
Ezra 8:11	And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.
Ezra 8:12	And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.
Ezra 8:13	And of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.
Ezra 8:14	And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.
Ezra 8:15	And I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we camped three days: and I reviewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
Ezra 8:16	Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers.
Ezra 8:17	And I sent them out to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say to Iddo, and his brothers the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.
Ezra 8:18	And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
Ezra 8:19	and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;
Ezra 8:20	and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were mentioned by name.
Ezra 8:21	Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our goods.
Ezra 8:22	For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.
Ezra 8:23	So we fasted and implored our God for this: and he listened to our entreaty.
Ezra 8:24	Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them,
Ezra 8:25	and weighed out to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:
Ezra 8:26	I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;
Ezra 8:27	and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright bronze, precious as gold.
Ezra 8:28	And I said to them, You are holy to Yehovah, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering to Yehovah, the God of your fathers.
Ezra 8:29	Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’ houses of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Yehovah.
Ezra 8:30	So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Ezra 8:31	Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambusher along the way.
Ezra 8:32	And we came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.
Ezra 8:33	And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest (and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites)—
Ezra 8:34	the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time.
Ezra 8:35	The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve male goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burnt-offering to Yehovah.
Ezra 8:36	And they delivered the king’s commissions to the king’s satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they supported the people and the house of God.
Ezra 9:1	Now when these things were done, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Ezra 9:2	For they have taken some of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: indeed, the hand of the princes and rulers has been foremost in this trespass.
Ezra 9:3	And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and pulled out the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled.
Ezra 9:4	Then every one who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the trespass of those of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering.
Ezra 9:5	And at the evening offering I rose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Yehovah my God;
Ezra 9:6	and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens.
Ezra 9:7	Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
Ezra 9:8	And now for a little moment grace has been shown from Yehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Ezra 9:9	For we are slaves; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended lovingkindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Ezra 9:10	And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken your commandments,
Ezra 9:11	which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, The land, which you are going to possess, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness:
Ezra 9:12	now therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.
Ezra 9:13	And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that you our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,
Ezra 9:14	shall we again break your commandments, and intermarry with the peoples who do these abominations? would you not be angry with us until you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
Ezra 9:15	O Yehovah, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before you in our guiltiness; for none can stand before you because of this.
Ezra 10:1	Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men and women and children gathered together to him out of Israel; for the people wept very bitterly.
Ezra 10:2	And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
Ezra 10:3	Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Ezra 10:4	Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you: be of good courage, and do it.
Ezra 10:5	Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
Ezra 10:6	Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of the trespass of those of the captivity.
Ezra 10:7	And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Ezra 10:8	and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his goods should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
Ezra 10:9	Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days (it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month); and all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and because of the heavy rain.
Ezra 10:10	And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
Ezra 10:11	Now therefore make confession to Yehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.
Ezra 10:12	Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
Ezra 10:13	But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside: neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
Ezra 10:14	Let now our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is dealt with.
Ezra 10:15	Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Ezra 10:16	And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ houses, according to their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Ezra 10:17	And they made an end with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Ezra 10:18	And among the sons of the priests there were found some who had married foreign women: namely, of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Ezra 10:19	And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Ezra 10:20	And of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah.
Ezra 10:21	And of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
Ezra 10:22	And of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
Ezra 10:23	And of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
Ezra 10:24	And of the singers: Eliashib. And of the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
Ezra 10:25	And of Israel: Of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, and Izziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
Ezra 10:26	And of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah.
Ezra 10:27	And of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
Ezra 10:28	And of the sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai.
Ezra 10:29	And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth.
Ezra 10:30	And of the sons of Pahath-moab: Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
Ezra 10:31	And of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,
Ezra 10:32	Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah.
Ezra 10:33	Of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei.
Ezra 10:34	Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
Ezra 10:35	Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluhi,
Ezra 10:36	Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
Ezra 10:37	Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasu,
Ezra 10:38	and Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,
Ezra 10:39	and Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
Ezra 10:40	Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
Ezra 10:41	Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,
Ezra 10:42	Shallum, Amariah, Joseph.
Ezra 10:43	Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah.
Ezra 10:44	All these had taken foreign wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had children.
Nehemiah 1:1	The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Nehemiah 1:2	that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 1:3	And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.
Nehemiah 1:4	And it happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,
Nehemiah 1:5	and said, I implore you, O Yehovah, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:
Nehemiah 1:6	let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Indeed, I and my father’s house have sinned:
Nehemiah 1:7	we have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses.
Nehemiah 1:8	Remember, I implore you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, If you trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples:
Nehemiah 1:9	but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.
Nehemiah 1:10	Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand.
Nehemiah 1:11	O Lord, I implore you, let your ear now be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king.
Nehemiah 2:1	And it happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad before in his presence.
Nehemiah 2:2	And the king said to me, Why is your countenance sad, seeing you are not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very greatly afraid.
Nehemiah 2:3	And I said to the king, Let the king live forever: why should my countenance not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are consumed with fire?
Nehemiah 2:4	Then the king said to me, For what do you make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
Nehemiah 2:5	And I said to the king, If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.
Nehemiah 2:6	And the king said to me (the queen also sitting by him), For how long shall your journey be? and when will you return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
Nehemiah 2:7	Moreover I said to the king, If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through till I come to Judah;
Nehemiah 2:8	and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which belongs to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Nehemiah 2:9	Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.
Nehemiah 2:10	And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, that a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
Nehemiah 2:11	So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Nehemiah 2:12	And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; nor did I tell any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any beast with me, except the beast that I rode upon.
Nehemiah 2:13	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 Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.
Nehemiah 2:14	Then I went on to the fountain gate and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
Nehemiah 2:15	Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.
Nehemiah 2:16	And the rulers did not know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
Nehemiah 2:17	Then I said to them, You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach.
Nehemiah 2:18	And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me, as also of the king’s words that he had spoken to me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
Nehemiah 2:19	But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they mocked us, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that you do? will you rebel against the king?
Nehemiah 2:20	Then I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 3:1	Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up its doors; even to the tower of Hammeah they sanctified it, to the tower of Hananel.
Nehemiah 3:2	And next to him the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur built the son of Imri.
Nehemiah 3:3	And the sons of Hassenaah built the fish gate; they laid its beams, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars.
Nehemiah 3:4	And next to them Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, repaired. And next to them Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, repaired. And next to them Zadok the son of Baana repaired.
Nehemiah 3:5	And next to them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles did not put their necks to the work of their lord.
Nehemiah 3:6	And Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the old gate; they laid its beams, and set up its doors, and its bolts, and its bars.
Nehemiah 3:7	And next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, repaired, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, who belonged to the throne of the governor beyond the River.
Nehemiah 3:8	Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, goldsmiths, repaired. And next to him Hananiah one of the perfumers repaired, and they fortified Jerusalem even to the broad wall.
Nehemiah 3:9	And next to them Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, repaired.
Nehemiah 3:10	And next to them Jedaiah the son of Harumaph repaired, opposite his house. And next to him Hattush the son of Hashabneiah repaired.

Nehemiah 3:12	And next to him Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, repaired, he and his daughters.
Nehemiah 3:13	Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah repaired the valley gate; they built it, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall to the dung gate.
Nehemiah 3:14	And Malchijah the son of Rechab, the ruler of the district of Beth-haccherem, repaired the dung gate; he built it, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars.
Nehemiah 3:15	And Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah, repaired the fountain gate; he built it, and covered it, and set up its doors, its bolts, and its bars, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king’s garden, even to the stairs that go down from the city of David.
Nehemiah 3:16	After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of half the district of Beth-zur, repaired to the place opposite the tombs of David, and to the pool that was made, and to the house of the mighty men.
Nehemiah 3:17	After him the Levites repaired, Rehum the son of Bani. Next to him Hashabiah, the ruler of half the district of Keilah, repaired, for his district.
Nehemiah 3:18	After him their brothers repaired, Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah.
Nehemiah 3:19	And next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, repaired another portion, opposite the ascent to the armory at the turning of the wall.
Nehemiah 3:20	After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired another portion, from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.
Nehemiah 3:21	After him Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz repaired another portion, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib.
Nehemiah 3:22	And after him the priests, the men of the Plain, repaired.
Nehemiah 3:23	After them Benjamin and Hasshub repaired opposite their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah repaired beside his own house.
Nehemiah 3:24	After him Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another portion, from the house of Azariah to the turning of the wall, and to the corner.
Nehemiah 3:25	Palal the son of Uzai repaired opposite the turning of the wall, and the tower that stands out from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh repaired.
Nehemiah 3:26	(Now the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, to the place opposite the water gate toward the east, and the tower that stands out.)
Nehemiah 3:27	After him the Tekoites repaired another portion, opposite the great tower that stands out, and to the wall of Ophel.
Nehemiah 3:28	Above the horse gate the priests repaired, every one opposite his own house.
Nehemiah 3:29	After them Zadok the son of Immer repaired opposite his own house. And after him Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate, repaired.
Nehemiah 3:30	After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another portion. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah repaired opposite his chamber.
Nehemiah 3:31	After him Malchijah one of the goldsmiths repaired to the house of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, opposite the gate of Hammiphkad, and to the ascent of the corner.
Nehemiah 3:32	And between the ascent of the corner and the sheep gate the goldsmiths and the merchants repaired.
Nehemiah 4:1	But it happened that, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and greatly enraged, and mocked the Jews.
Nehemiah 4:2	And he spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they finish in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?
Nehemiah 4:3	Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox goes up, he shall break down their stone wall.
Nehemiah 4:4	Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;
Nehemiah 4:5	and do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have provoked you to anger before the builders.
Nehemiah 4:6	So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height: for the people had a mind to work.
Nehemiah 4:7	But it happened that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very angry;
Nehemiah 4:8	and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion in it.
Nehemiah 4:9	But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Nehemiah 4:10	And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
Nehemiah 4:11	And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Nehemiah 4:12	And it happened that, when the Jews who dwelt by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, You must return to us.
Nehemiah 4:13	Therefore I set in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set there the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Nehemiah 4:14	And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Do not be afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Nehemiah 4:15	And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, every one to his work.
Nehemiah 4:16	And it happened from that time forth, that half of my servants worked in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
Nehemiah 4:17	Those who built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; every one with one of his hands worked in the work, and with the other held his weapon;
Nehemiah 4:18	and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he who sounded the trumpet was by me.
Nehemiah 4:19	And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:
Nehemiah 4:20	in whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us; our God will fight for us.
Nehemiah 4:21	So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
Nehemiah 4:22	Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.
Nehemiah 4:23	So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one went with his weapon to the water.
Nehemiah 5:1	Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.
Nehemiah 5:2	For there were those who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live.
Nehemiah 5:3	Some also there were who said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the famine.
Nehemiah 5:4	There were also those who said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.
Nehemiah 5:5	Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children: and, look, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.
Nehemiah 5:6	And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Nehemiah 5:7	Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, You exact usury, every one from his brother. And I held a great assembly against them.
Nehemiah 5:8	And I said to them, We according to our ability have redeemed our brothers the Jews, who were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us? Then they were silent, and could not find a word.
Nehemiah 5:9	Also I said, The thing that you do is not good: ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?
Nehemiah 5:10	And I likewise, my brothers and my servants, are lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.
Nehemiah 5:11	Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you exact from them.
Nehemiah 5:12	Then they said, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so we will do, even as you say. Then I called the priests, and took an oath from them, that they would do according to this promise.
Nehemiah 5:13	Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, who does not perform this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised Yehovah. And the people did according to this promise.
Nehemiah 5:14	Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Nehemiah 5:15	But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; indeed, even their servants bore rule over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.
Nehemiah 5:16	Indeed, I also continued in the work of this wall, nor did we buy any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.
Nehemiah 5:17	Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were all around us.
Nehemiah 5:18	Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days an abundance of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I did not demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
Nehemiah 5:19	Remember to me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
Nehemiah 6:1	Now it happened, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
Nehemiah 6:2	that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me harm.
Nehemiah 6:3	And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?
Nehemiah 6:4	And they sent to me four times in this way; and I answered them in the same manner.
Nehemiah 6:5	Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
Nehemiah 6:6	in which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause you are building the wall: and you would be their king, according to these words.
Nehemiah 6:7	And you have also appointed prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
Nehemiah 6:8	Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as you say, but you feign them out of your own heart.
Nehemiah 6:9	For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it may not be done. But now, O God, strengthen my hands.
Nehemiah 6:10	And I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay you; indeed, in the night they will come to slay you.
Nehemiah 6:11	And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
Nehemiah 6:12	And I discerned, and, look, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Nehemiah 6:13	For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
Nehemiah 6:14	Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, who would have put me in fear.
Nehemiah 6:15	So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
Nehemiah 6:16	And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
Nehemiah 6:17	Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.
Nehemiah 6:18	For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as wife.
Nehemiah 6:19	Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Nehemiah 7:1	Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Nehemiah 7:2	that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
Nehemiah 7:3	And I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite his house.
Nehemiah 7:4	Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few in it, and the houses were not built.
Nehemiah 7:5	And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at first, and I found written in it:
Nehemiah 7:6	These are the children of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;
Nehemiah 7:7	who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

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

Nehemiah 10:26	and Ahiah, Hanan, Anan,
Nehemiah 10:27	Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
Nehemiah 10:28	And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one who had knowledge, and understanding;
Nehemiah 10:29	they clung to their brothers, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;
Nehemiah 10:30	and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
Nehemiah 10:31	and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy from them on the sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
Nehemiah 10:32	Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
Nehemiah 10:33	for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, for the sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
Nehemiah 10:34	And we cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers’ houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn upon the altar of Yehovah our God, as it is written in the law;
Nehemiah 10:35	and to bring the first-fruits of our ground, and the first-fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year, to the house of Yehovah;
Nehemiah 10:36	also the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God;
Nehemiah 10:37	and that we should bring the first-fruits of our dough, and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, the new wine and the oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
Nehemiah 10:38	And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure-house.
Nehemiah 10:39	For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, to the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
Nehemiah 11:1	And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.
Nehemiah 11:2	And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 11:3	Now these are the chiefs of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah every one dwelt in his possession in their cities, namely, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon’s servants.
Nehemiah 11:4	And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

Nehemiah 11:20	And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
Nehemiah 11:21	But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.
Nehemiah 11:22	The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, over the business of the house of God.
Nehemiah 11:23	For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
Nehemiah 11:24	And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people.
Nehemiah 11:25	And as for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and its towns, and in Dibon and its towns, and in Jekabzeel and its villages,
Nehemiah 11:26	and in Jeshua, and in Moladah, and Beth-pelet,
Nehemiah 11:27	and in Hazar-shual, and in Beer-sheba and its towns,
Nehemiah 11:28	and in Ziklag, and in Meconah and in its towns,
Nehemiah 11:29	and in En-rimmon, and in Zorah, and in Jarmuth,
Nehemiah 11:30	Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its towns. So they encamped from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.
Nehemiah 11:31	The children of Benjamin also dwelt from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija, and at Beth-el and its towns,
Nehemiah 11:32	at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,
Nehemiah 11:33	Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,
Nehemiah 11:34	Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,
Nehemiah 11:35	Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.
Nehemiah 11:36	And of the Levites, certain courses in Judah were joined to Benjamin.
Nehemiah 12:1	Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Nehemiah 12:2	Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Nehemiah 12:3	Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Nehemiah 12:4	Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah,
Nehemiah 12:5	Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
Nehemiah 12:6	Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah.
Nehemiah 12:7	Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.
Nehemiah 12:8	Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brothers.
Nehemiah 12:9	Also Bakbukiah and Unno, their brothers, stood opposite them according to their offices.
Nehemiah 12:10	And Jeshua fathered Joiakim, and Joiakim fathered Eliashib, and Eliashib fathered Joiada,
Nehemiah 12:11	and Joiada fathered Jonathan, and Jonathan fathered Jaddua.
Nehemiah 12:12	And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers’ houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Nehemiah 12:13	of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
Nehemiah 12:14	of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
Nehemiah 12:15	of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
Nehemiah 12:16	of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
Nehemiah 12:17	of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
Nehemiah 12:18	of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
Nehemiah 12:19	and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
Nehemiah 12:20	of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
Nehemiah 12:21	of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel.
Nehemiah 12:22	As for the Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, there were recorded the heads of fathers’ houses; also the priests, in the reign of Darius the Persian.
Nehemiah 12:23	The sons of Levi, heads of fathers’ houses, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Nehemiah 12:24	And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch next to watch.
Nehemiah 12:25	Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the gates.
Nehemiah 12:26	These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest the scribe.
Nehemiah 12:27	And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Nehemiah 12:28	And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain all around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;
Nehemiah 12:29	also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built themselves villages all around Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 12:30	And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Nehemiah 12:31	Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession; of which one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
Nehemiah 12:32	and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Nehemiah 12:33	and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Nehemiah 12:34	Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Nehemiah 12:35	and certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;
Nehemiah 12:36	and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.
Nehemiah 12:37	And by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward.
Nehemiah 12:38	And the other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,
Nehemiah 12:39	and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.
Nehemiah 12:40	So the two companies of those who gave thanks stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;
Nehemiah 12:41	and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
Nehemiah 12:42	and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
Nehemiah 12:43	And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Nehemiah 12:44	And on that day men were appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.
Nehemiah 12:45	And they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
Nehemiah 12:46	For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Nehemiah 12:47	And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
Nehemiah 13:1	On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and in it was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
Nehemiah 13:2	because they did not meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: however our God turned the curse into a blessing.
Nehemiah 13:3	And it happened, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Nehemiah 13:4	Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
Nehemiah 13:5	had prepared for him a great chamber, where previously they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the heave-offerings for the priests.
Nehemiah 13:6	But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king: and after some days I asked leave of the king,
Nehemiah 13:7	and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
Nehemiah 13:8	And it grieved me greatly: therefore I cast forth all the household goods of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Nehemiah 13:9	Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and there I brought back the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.
Nehemiah 13:10	And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled every one to his field.
Nehemiah 13:11	Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Nehemiah 13:12	Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.
Nehemiah 13:13	And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.
Nehemiah 13:14	Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
Nehemiah 13:15	In those days I saw in Judah some men treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with them; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them on the day in which they sold provisions.
Nehemiah 13:16	Men of Tyre also dwelt there, who brought in fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 13:17	Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the sabbath day?
Nehemiah 13:18	Did not your fathers do so, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Nehemiah 13:19	And it happened that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants I set over the gates, that no burden should be brought in on the sabbath day.
Nehemiah 13:20	So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
Nehemiah 13:21	Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do you lodge around the wall? if you do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath.
Nehemiah 13:22	And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember to me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your lovingkindness.
Nehemiah 13:23	In those days also I saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
Nehemiah 13:24	and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
Nehemiah 13:25	And I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck some of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
Nehemiah 13:26	Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
Nehemiah 13:27	Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?
Nehemiah 13:28	And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
Nehemiah 13:29	Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Nehemiah 13:30	Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed charges for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;
Nehemiah 13:31	and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
Esther 1:1	Now it happened in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces),
Esther 1:2	that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
Esther 1:3	in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;
Esther 1:4	when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and eighty days.
Esther 1:5	And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.
Esther 1:6	There were hangings of white cloth, of green, and of blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, and white, and yellow, and black marble.
Esther 1:7	And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being different one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.
Esther 1:8	And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
Esther 1:9	Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Esther 1:10	On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains who ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
Esther 1:11	to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful to look on.
Esther 1:12	But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the chamberlains: therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.
Esther 1:13	Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for so was the king’s manner toward all who knew law and judgment;
Esther 1:14	and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom),
Esther 1:15	What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
Esther 1:16	And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples who are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
Esther 1:17	For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she did not come.
Esther 1:18	And this day the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen will say the same to all the king’s princes. So there will arise much contempt and wrath.
Esther 1:19	If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go out from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it may not be altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.
Esther 1:20	And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.
Esther 1:21	And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Esther 1:22	for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.
Esther 2:1	After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Esther 2:2	Then the king’s servants who ministered to him said, Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king:
Esther 2:3	and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the custody of Hegai the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;
Esther 2:4	and let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
Esther 2:5	There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
Esther 2:6	who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
Esther 2:7	And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the young woman was lovely and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
Esther 2:8	So it happened, when the king’s commandment and his decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered together to Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Esther 2:9	And the young woman pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he quickly gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven young women who were suitable to be given her out of the king’s house: and he moved her and her young women to the best place of the house of the women.
Esther 2:10	Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.
Esther 2:11	And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.
Esther 2:12	Now when the turn of every young woman had come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, namely, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),
Esther 2:13	then in this way the young woman came to the king: Whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king’s house.
Esther 2:14	In the evening she went, and the next day she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
Esther 2:15	Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, had come to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who looked on her.
Esther 2:16	So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Esther 2:17	And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Esther 2:18	Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
Esther 2:19	And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate.
Esther 2:20	Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, just as when she was brought up with him.
Esther 2:21	In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the threshold, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
Esther 2:22	And the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it to Esther the queen; and Esther told the king of it in Mordecai’s name.
Esther 2:23	And when investigation was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
Esther 3:1	After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.
Esther 3:2	And all the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage.
Esther 3:3	Then the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, Why do you transgress the king’s commandment?
Esther 3:4	Now it happened, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Esther 3:5	And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, then Haman was full of wrath.
Esther 3:6	But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Esther 3:7	In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Esther 3:8	And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are different from those of every people; neither do they keep the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to tolerate them.
Esther 3:9	If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who have the charge of the king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
Esther 3:10	And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Esther 3:11	And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.
Esther 3:12	Then the king’s scribes were called in the first month, on its thirteenth day; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded to the king’s satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus it was written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring.
Esther 3:13	And letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take their spoil for a prey.
Esther 3:14	A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready for that day.
Esther 3:15	The couriers went out 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 4:1	Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
Esther 4:2	and he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
Esther 4:3	And in every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Esther 4:4	And Esther’s young women and her chamberlains came and told it to her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent clothing to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he did not receive it.
Esther 4:5	Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend on her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.
Esther 4:6	So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the broad place of the city, which was before the king’s gate.
Esther 4:7	And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
Esther 4:8	Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.
Esther 4:9	And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Esther 4:10	Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai, saying:
Esther 4:11	All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.
Esther 4:12	And they told Mordecai Esther’s words.
Esther 4:13	Then Mordecai told them to return answer to Esther, Do not think to yourself that you shall escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
Esther 4:14	For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish: and who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Esther 4:15	Then Esther told them to return answer to Mordecai,
Esther 4:16	Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my young women will fast in the same way; and so I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Esther 4:17	So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Esther 5:1	Now it happened on the third day, that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, opposite the king’s house: and the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, opposite the entrance of the house.
Esther 5:2	And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Esther 5:3	Then the king said to her, What do you wish, queen Esther? and what is your request? it shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.
Esther 5:4	And Esther said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Esther 5:5	Then the king said, Cause Haman to hurry, that it may be done as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Esther 5:6	And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Esther 5:7	Then Esther answered, and said, My petition and my request is:
Esther 5:8	If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.
Esther 5:9	Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he did not stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Esther 5:10	Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Esther 5:11	And Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Esther 5:12	Haman said moreover, Indeed, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king.
Esther 5:13	Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
Esther 5:14	Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it: then go in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Esther 6:1	On that night the king could not sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.
Esther 6:2	And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those who kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
Esther 6:3	And the king said, What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then the king’s servants who ministered to him said, Nothing has been done for him.
Esther 6:4	And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outer court of the king’s house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Esther 6:5	And the king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Esther 6:6	So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?
Esther 6:7	And Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,
Esther 6:8	let royal clothing be brought which the king is accustomed to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on whose head a royal crown is set:
Esther 6:9	and let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array with them the man whom the king delights to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
Esther 6:10	Then the king said to Haman, Hurry, and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.
Esther 6:11	Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.
Esther 6:12	And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.
Esther 6:13	And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the seed of the Jews, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.
Esther 6:14	While they were still talking with him, the king’s chamberlains came, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Esther 7:1	So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Esther 7:2	And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is your petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Esther 7:3	Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
Esther 7:4	for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.
Esther 7:5	Then the king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, who dared presume in his heart to do so?
Esther 7:6	And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Esther 7:7	And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Esther 7:8	Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch on which Esther was. Then the king said, Will he even assault the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
Esther 7:9	Then Harbonah, one of the chamberlains who were before the king, said, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it.
Esther 7:10	So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
Esther 8:1	On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.
Esther 8:2	And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Esther 8:3	And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to put away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and his scheme that he had devised against the Jews.
Esther 8:4	Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
Esther 8:5	And she said, If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces:
Esther 8:6	for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Esther 8:7	Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.
Esther 8:8	You also write to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, no man may reverse.
Esther 8:9	Then the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on its twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language, and to the Jews according to their script, and according to their language.
Esther 8:10	And he wrote in the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service, bred from the royal stud:
Esther 8:11	in which the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take their spoil for a prey,
Esther 8:12	on one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Esther 8:13	A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Esther 8:14	So the couriers who rode on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.
Esther 8:15	And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.
Esther 8:16	The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.
Esther 8:17	And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews had fallen on them.
Esther 9:1	Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on its thirteenth day, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over those who hated them),
Esther 9:2	the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hands on such as sought their harm: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
Esther 9:3	And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those who did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
Esther 9:4	For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
Esther 9:5	And the Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those who hated them.
Esther 9:6	And in Shushan the palace the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Esther 9:7	And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Esther 9:8	and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Esther 9:9	and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Esther 9:10	the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, they killed; but on the spoil they did not lay their hand.
Esther 9:11	On that day the number of those who were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
Esther 9:12	And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what further is your request? and it shall be done.
Esther 9:13	Then Esther said, If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.
Esther 9:14	And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
Esther 9:15	And the Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they did not lay their hand.
Esther 9:16	And the other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and killed of those who hated them seventy-five thousand; but on the spoil they did not lay their hand.
Esther 9:17	This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on its fourteenth day they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Esther 9:18	But the Jews who were in Shushan assembled together on its thirteenth day, and on its fourteenth; and on its fifteenth day they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Esther 9:19	Therefore the Jews of the villages, who dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Esther 9:20	And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Esther 9:21	to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and its fifteenth day, yearly,
Esther 9:22	as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned for them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Esther 9:23	And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;
Esther 9:24	because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Esther 9:25	but when the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Esther 9:26	Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
Esther 9:27	the Jews ordained, and took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time, every year;
Esther 9:28	and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the remembrance of them perish from their seed.
Esther 9:29	Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Esther 9:30	And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
Esther 9:31	to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
Esther 9:32	And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Esther 10:1	And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and on the isles of the sea.
Esther 10:2	And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
Esther 10:3	For Mordecai the Jew was next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brothers, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
Job 1:1	There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
Job 1:2	And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:3	His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.
Job 1:4	And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Job 1:5	And it was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did continually.
Job 1:6	Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, that Satan also came among them.
Job 1:7	And Yehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? Then Satan answered Yehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job 1:8	And Yehovah said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.
Job 1:9	Then Satan answered Yehovah, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
Job 1:10	Have you not made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has, on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
Job 1:11	But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce you to your face.
Job 1:12	And Yehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not stretch out your hand against himself. So Satan went out from the presence of Yehovah.
Job 1:13	And it happened one day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,
Job 1:14	that a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them;
Job 1:15	and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away: indeed, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell you.
Job 1:16	While he was still speaking, another also came, and said, The fire of God has fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell you.
Job 1:17	While he was still speaking, another also came, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, indeed, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only have escaped alone to tell you.
Job 1:18	While he was still speaking, another also came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house;
Job 1:19	and, behold, a great wind came from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only have escaped alone to tell you.
Job 1:20	Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped;
Job 1:21	and he said, Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked I shall return there: Yehovah gave, and Yehovah has taken away; blessed be the name of Yehovah.
Job 1:22	In all this Job did not sin, nor charge God foolishly.
Job 2:1	Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Yehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yehovah.
Job 2:2	And Yehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan answered Yehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job 2:3	And Yehovah said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil: and he still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Job 2:4	And Satan answered Yehovah, and said, Skin for skin, indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
Job 2:5	But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.
Job 2:6	And Yehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.
Job 2:7	So Satan went out from the presence of Yehovah, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
Job 2:8	And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with it; and he sat among the ashes.
Job 2:9	Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast your integrity? renounce God, and die.
Job 2:10	But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Job 2:11	Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.
Job 2:12	And when they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven.
Job 2:13	So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
Job 3:1	After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job 3:2	And Job answered and said:
Job 3:3	Let the day perish on which I was born, And the night which said, A man-child is conceived.
Job 3:4	Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine on it.
Job 3:5	Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell on it; Let all that makes black the day terrify it.
Job 3:6	As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
Job 3:7	Look, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come into it.
Job 3:8	Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
Job 3:9	Let the stars of its twilight be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
Job 3:10	Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hide trouble from my eyes.
Job 3:11	Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bore me?
Job 3:12	Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
Job 3:13	For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
Job 3:14	With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
Job 3:15	Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
Job 3:16	Or as a hidden untimely birth I would not have been, As infants who never saw light.
Job 3:17	There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
Job 3:18	There the prisoners are at ease together; They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
Job 3:19	The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
Job 3:20	Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul;
Job 3:21	Who long for death, but it does not come, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
Job 3:22	Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
Job 3:23	Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?
Job 3:24	For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
Job 3:25	For the thing which I fear comes upon me, And that which I am afraid of comes to me.
Job 3:26	I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble comes.
Job 4:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
Job 4:2	If one attempts to speak with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
Job 4:3	Behold, you have instructed many, And you have strengthened the weak hands.
Job 4:4	Your words have upheld him who was falling, And you have made firm the feeble knees.
Job 4:5	But now it has come to you, and you faint; It touches you, and you are troubled.
Job 4:6	Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?
Job 4:7	Remember, please, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
Job 4:8	According as I have seen, those who plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same.
Job 4:9	By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed.
Job 4:10	The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
Job 4:11	The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
Job 4:12	Now a thing was secretly brought to me, And my ear received a whisper of it.
Job 4:13	In thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,
Job 4:14	Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones shake.
Job 4:15	Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.
Job 4:16	It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes: There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
Job 4:17	Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
Job 4:18	Behold, he puts no trust in his servants; And his angels he charges with folly:
Job 4:19	How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
Job 4:20	Between morning and evening they are destroyed: They perish forever without anyone regarding it.
Job 4:21	Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.
Job 5:1	Call now; is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
Job 5:2	For vexation kills the foolish man, And jealousy slays the silly one.
Job 5:3	I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job 5:4	His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:
Job 5:5	Whose harvest the hungry eats up, And takes it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapes for their wealth.
Job 5:6	For affliction does not come forth from the dust, Neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
Job 5:7	But man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
Job 5:8	But as for me, I would seek to God, And to God would I commit my cause;
Job 5:9	Who does great things and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number:
Job 5:10	Who gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields;
Job 5:11	So that he sets up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.
Job 5:12	He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Job 5:13	He takes the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
Job 5:14	They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.
Job 5:15	But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
Job 5:16	So the poor has hope, And iniquity stops her mouth.
Job 5:17	Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
Job 5:18	For he causes pain, and binds up; He wounds, and his hands make whole.
Job 5:19	He will deliver you in six troubles; Indeed, in seven no evil shall touch you.
Job 5:20	In famine he will redeem you from death; And in war from the power of the sword.
Job 5:21	You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Job 5:22	At destruction and dearth you shall laugh; Neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Job 5:23	For you shall be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
Job 5:24	And you shall know that your tent is in peace; And you shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.
Job 5:25	You shall know also that your seed shall be great, And your offspring as the grass of the earth.
Job 5:26	You shall come to your grave in a full age, As a shock of grain comes in in its season.
Job 5:27	Look at this: we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know it for your good.
Job 6:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 6:2	Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
Job 6:3	For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore my words have been rash.
Job 6:4	For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, Whose poison my spirit drinks up: The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Job 6:5	Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Job 6:6	Can that which has no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Job 6:7	My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.
Job 6:8	Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
Job 6:9	Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Job 6:10	And let it still be my consolation, Indeed, let me exult in pain that does not spare, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:11	What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?
Job 6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
Job 6:13	Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
Job 6:14	To him who is ready to faint kindness should be shown from his friend; Even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Job 6:15	My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
Job 6:16	Which are black by reason of the ice, And in which the snow hides itself:
Job 6:17	When they grow warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Job 6:18	The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
Job 6:19	The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.
Job 6:20	They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came there, and were confounded.
Job 6:21	For now you are nothing; You see a terror, and are afraid.
Job 6:22	Did I say, Give to me? Or, Offer a present for me from your possessions?
Job 6:23	Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
Job 6:24	Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand how I have erred.
Job 6:25	How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
Job 6:26	Do you think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
Job 6:27	Indeed, you would cast lots over the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
Job 6:28	Now therefore be pleased to look at me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
Job 6:29	Return, please, let there be no injustice; Indeed, return again, my cause is righteous.
Job 6:30	Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
Job 7:1	Is there not a warfare for man on earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?
Job 7:2	As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, And as a hireling who looks for his wages:
Job 7:3	So am I made to possess months of misery, And wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Job 7:4	When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossings to and fro to the dawning of the day.
Job 7:5	My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
Job 7:6	My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, And are spent without hope.
Job 7:7	Oh remember that my life is a breath: My eye shall no more see good.
Job 7:8	The eye of him who sees me shall behold me no more; Your eyes shall be on me, but I shall not be.
Job 7:9	As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, So he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more.
Job 7:10	He shall return no more to his house, Neither shall his place know him anymore.
Job 7:11	Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 7:12	Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, That you set a watch over me?
Job 7:13	When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;
Job 7:14	Then you scare me with dreams, And terrify me through visions:
Job 7:15	So that my soul chooses strangling, And death rather than these my bones.
Job 7:16	I loathe my life; I would not live always: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.
Job 7:17	What is man, that you should magnify him, And that you should set your mind on him,
Job 7:18	And that you should visit him every morning, And try him every moment?
Job 7:19	How long will you not look away from me, Nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
Job 7:20	If I have sinned, what do I do to you, O you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, So that I am a burden to myself?
Job 7:21	And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust; And you will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.
Job 8:1	Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
Job 8:2	How long will you speak these things? And how long shall the words of your mouth be like a mighty wind?
Job 8:3	Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
Job 8:4	If your children have sinned against him, And he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression;
Job 8:5	If you would seek diligently to God, And make your supplication to the Almighty;
Job 8:6	If you were pure and upright: Surely now he would awake for you, And make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
Job 8:7	And though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would greatly increase.
Job 8:8	For inquire, please, of the former age, And apply yourself to that which their fathers have searched out
Job 8:9	(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow);
Job 8:10	Shall they not teach you, and tell you, And utter words out of their heart?
Job 8:11	Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?
Job 8:12	While it is still in its greenness, and not cut down, It withers before any other herb.
Job 8:13	So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:
Job 8:14	Whose confidence shall break apart, And whose trust is a spider’s web.
Job 8:15	He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast to it, but it shall not endure.
Job 8:16	He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.
Job 8:17	His roots are wrapped about the stone-heap, He beholds the place of stones.
Job 8:18	If he is destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.
Job 8:19	Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.
Job 8:20	Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.
Job 8:21	He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, And your lips with shouting.
Job 8:22	Those who hate you shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
Job 9:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 9:2	Truly I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
Job 9:3	If he is pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Job 9:4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
Job 9:5	Him who removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When he overturns them in his anger;
Job 9:6	Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;
Job 9:7	Who commands the sun, and it does not rise, And seals up the stars;
Job 9:8	Who alone stretches out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;
Job 9:9	Who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
Job 9:10	Who does great things past finding out, Indeed, marvelous things without number.
Job 9:11	Look, he goes by me, and I do not see him: He passes on also, but I do not perceive him.
Job 9:12	Behold, he seizes the prey, who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What are you doing?
Job 9:13	God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
Job 9:14	How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?
Job 9:15	Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
Job 9:16	If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet I would not believe that he listened to my voice.
Job 9:17	For he breaks me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.
Job 9:18	He will not allow me to take my breath, But fills me with bitterness.
Job 9:19	If we speak of strength, look, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who, he says, will summon me?
Job 9:20	Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me: Though I am perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
Job 9:21	I am perfect; I do not regard myself; I despise my life.
Job 9:22	It is all one; therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
Job 9:23	If the scourge slays suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
Job 9:24	The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges: If it is not he, who then is it?
Job 9:25	Now my days are swifter than a runner: They flee away, they see no good.
Job 9:26	They have passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoops on the prey.
Job 9:27	If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;
Job 9:28	I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
Job 9:29	I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
Job 9:30	If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands ever so clean;
Job 9:31	Yet you will plunge me in the ditch, And my own clothes shall abhor me.
Job 9:32	For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
Job 9:33	There is no umpire between us, That might lay his hand on us both.
Job 9:34	Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:
Job 9:35	Then I would speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
Job 10:1	My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 10:2	I will say to God, Do not condemn me; Show me why you contend with me.
Job 10:3	Is it good to you that you should oppress, That you should despise the work of your hands, And shine on the counsel of the wicked?
Job 10:4	Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
Job 10:5	Are your days as the days of man, Or your years as man’s days,
Job 10:6	That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin,
Job 10:7	Although you know that I am not wicked, And there is none who can deliver out of your hand?
Job 10:8	Your hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet you destroy me.
Job 10:9	Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay; And will you bring me into dust again?
Job 10:10	Have you not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?
Job 10:11	You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.
Job 10:12	You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And your visitation has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:13	Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this is with you:
Job 10:14	If I sin, then you mark me, And you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
Job 10:15	If I am wicked, woe to me; And if I am righteous, yet I shall not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking on my affliction.
Job 10:16	And if my head exalts itself, you hunt me as a lion; And again you show yourself marvelous against me.
Job 10:17	You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation against me: Changes and warfare are with me.
Job 10:18	Why then have you brought me out of the womb? I would have given up the ghost, and no eye would have seen me.
Job 10:19	I would have been as though I had not been; I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job 10:20	Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Job 10:21	Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
Job 10:22	The land dark as midnight, The land of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.
Job 11:1	Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,
Job 11:2	Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
Job 11:3	Should your boastings make men hold their peace? And when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
Job 11:4	For you say, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in your eyes.
Job 11:5	But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against you,
Job 11:6	And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
Job 11:7	Can you by searching find out God? Can you find out the Almighty to perfection?
Job 11:8	It is high as heaven; what can you do? Deeper than Sheol; what can you know?
Job 11:9	Its measure is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.
Job 11:10	If he passes through, and shuts up, And calls to judgment, then who can hinder him?
Job 11:11	For he knows false men: He sees iniquity also, even though he does not consider it.
Job 11:12	But vain man is void of understanding, Indeed, man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
Job 11:13	If you set your heart aright, And stretch out your hands toward him;
Job 11:14	If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
Job 11:15	Surely then you shall lift up your face without spot; Indeed, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
Job 11:16	For you shall forget your misery; You shall remember it as waters that have passed away,
Job 11:17	And your life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.
Job 11:18	And you shall be secure, because there is hope; Indeed, you shall search about you, and shall take your rest in safety.
Job 11:19	Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; Indeed, many shall make suit to you.
Job 11:20	But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
Job 12:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 12:2	No doubt but you are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.
Job 12:3	But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
Job 12:4	I am as one who is a laughingstock to his neighbor, I who called on God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughingstock.
Job 12:5	In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for those whose foot slips.
Job 12:6	The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God brings abundantly.
Job 12:7	But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell you:
Job 12:8	Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you; And the fish of the sea shall declare to you.
Job 12:9	Who does not know in all these, That the hand of Yehovah has done this,
Job 12:10	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?
Job 12:11	Does not the ear try words, Even as the palate tastes its food?
Job 12:12	With aged men is wisdom, And in length of days understanding.
Job 12:13	With God is wisdom and might; He has counsel and understanding.
Job 12:14	Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again; He shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.
Job 12:15	Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up; Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
Job 12:16	With him is strength and wisdom; The deceived and the deceiver are his.
Job 12:17	He leads counselors away stripped, And judges he makes fools.
Job 12:18	He looses the bond of kings, And he binds their loins with a belt.
Job 12:19	He leads priests away stripped, And overthrows the mighty.
Job 12:20	He removes the speech of the trusty, And takes away the understanding of the elders.
Job 12:21	He pours contempt on princes, And looses the belt of the strong.
Job 12:22	He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings out to light the shadow of death.
Job 12:23	He increases the nations, and he destroys them: He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
Job 12:24	He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
Job 12:25	They grope in the dark without light; And he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
Job 13:1	Look, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.
Job 13:2	What you know, the same I know also: I am not inferior to you.
Job 13:3	Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
Job 13:4	But you are forgers of lies; You are all physicians of no value.
Job 13:5	Oh that you would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.
Job 13:6	Hear now my reasoning, And listen to the pleadings of my lips.
Job 13:7	Will you speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?
Job 13:8	Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?
Job 13:9	Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
Job 13:10	He will surely reprove you, If you secretly show partiality.
Job 13:11	Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall on you?
Job 13:12	Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Job 13:13	Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.
Job 13:14	Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?
Job 13:15	Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
Job 13:16	This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.
Job 13:17	Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.
Job 13:18	Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.
Job 13:19	Who is he who will contend with me? For then I would hold my peace and give up the ghost.
Job 13:20	Only do not do two things to me; Then I will not hide myself from your face:
Job 13:21	Withdraw your hand far from me; And do not let your terror make me afraid.
Job 13:22	Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and you answer me.
Job 13:23	How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.
Job 13:24	Why do you hide your face, And hold me for your enemy?
Job 13:25	Will you harass a driven leaf? And will you pursue the dry stubble?
Job 13:26	For you write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:
Job 13:27	You put my feet also in the stocks, And mark all my paths; You set a bound to the soles of my feet:
Job 13:28	Though I am like a rotten thing that consumes, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
Job 14:1	Man, who is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job 14:2	He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: He flees also as a shadow, and does not continue.
Job 14:3	And do you open your eyes on such a one, And bring me into judgment with you?
Job 14:4	Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Job 14:5	Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with you, And you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
Job 14:6	Look away from him, that he may rest, Until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
Job 14:7	For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender branch will not cease.
Job 14:8	Though its root grows old in the earth, And its stock dies in the ground;
Job 14:9	Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.
Job 14:10	But man dies, and is laid low: Indeed, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?
Job 14:11	As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wastes and dries up;
Job 14:12	So man lies down and does not rise: Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.
Job 14:13	Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, That you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, That you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job 14:14	If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare I would wait, Until my release should come.
Job 14:15	You would call, and I would answer you: You would have a desire to the work of your hands.
Job 14:16	But now you number my steps: Do you not watch over my sin?
Job 14:17	My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And you fasten up my iniquity.
Job 14:18	But the mountain falling comes to nothing; And the rock is removed out of its place;
Job 14:19	The waters wear the stones; Its overflowings wash away the dust of the earth: So you destroy the hope of man.
Job 14:20	You prevail forever against him, and he passes; You change his countenance, and send him away.
Job 14:21	His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; And they are brought low, but he does not perceive it of them.
Job 14:22	But his flesh on him has pain, And his soul within him mourns.
Job 15:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
Job 15:2	Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
Job 15:3	Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Job 15:4	Indeed, you do away with fear, And hinder devotion before God.
Job 15:5	For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.
Job 15:6	Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Indeed, your own lips testify against you.
Job 15:7	Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
Job 15:8	Have you heard the secret counsel of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Job 15:9	What do you know, that we do not know? What do you understand, which is not in us?
Job 15:10	With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much older than your father.
Job 15:11	Are the consolations of God too small for you, Even the word that is gentle toward you?
Job 15:12	Why does your heart carry you away? And why do your eyes flash,
Job 15:13	That against God you turn your spirit, And let words go out of your mouth?
Job 15:14	What is man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 15:15	Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones; Indeed, the heavens are not clean in his sight:
Job 15:16	How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, A man who drinks iniquity like water!
Job 15:17	I will show you, hear me; And that which I have seen I will declare
Job 15:18	(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hidden it;
Job 15:19	To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them):
Job 15:20	The wicked man travails with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
Job 15:21	A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
Job 15:22	He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness, And he is waited for by the sword.
Job 15:23	He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Job 15:24	Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
Job 15:25	Because he has stretched out his hand against God, And behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;
Job 15:26	He runs at him with a stiff neck, With the thick bosses of his shields;
Job 15:27	Because he has covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins;
Job 15:28	And he has dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps of ruins;
Job 15:29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his wealth continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
Job 15:30	He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath of God’s mouth he shall go away.
Job 15:31	Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense.
Job 15:32	It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
Job 15:33	He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.
Job 15:34	For the company of the godless shall be barren, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
Job 15:35	They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, And their heart prepares deceit.
Job 16:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 16:2	I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are you all.
Job 16:3	Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
Job 16:4	I also could speak as you do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
Job 16:5	But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
Job 16:6	Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I refrain, how am I eased?
Job 16:7	But now he has made me weary: You have made desolate all my company.
Job 16:8	And you have laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.
Job 16:9	He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He has gnashed at me with his teeth: My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
Job 16:10	They have gaped at me with their mouth; They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.
Job 16:11	God delivers me to the ungodly, And casts me into the hands of the wicked.
Job 16:12	I was at ease, and he broke me apart; Indeed, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He has also set me up for his mark.
Job 16:13	His archers surround me; He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare; He pours out my gall on the ground.
Job 16:14	He breaks me with breach upon breach; He runs at me like a giant.
Job 16:15	I have sewn sackcloth on my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust.
Job 16:16	My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Job 16:17	Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
Job 16:18	O earth, do not cover my blood, And let my cry have no resting-place.
Job 16:19	Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he who vouches for me is on high.
Job 16:20	My friends scoff at me: But my eye pours out tears to God,
Job 16:21	That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!
Job 16:22	For when a few years have come, I shall go the way from which I shall not return.
Job 17:1	My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.
Job 17:2	Surely there are mockers with me, And my eye dwells on their provocation.
Job 17:3	Give now a pledge, be surety for me with yourself; Who is there who will strike hands with me?
Job 17:4	For you have hidden their heart from understanding: Therefore you shall not exalt them.
Job 17:5	He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Job 17:6	But he has made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.
Job 17:7	My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.
Job 17:8	Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir himself up against the godless.
Job 17:9	Yet the righteous shall hold on his way, And he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
Job 17:10	But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.
Job 17:11	My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
Job 17:12	They change the night into day: The light, they say, is near to the darkness.
Job 17:13	If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
Job 17:14	If I have said to corruption, You are my father; To the worm, You are my mother, and my sister;
Job 17:15	Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
Job 17:16	It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.
Job 18:1	Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
Job 18:2	How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
Job 18:3	Why are we counted as beasts, And have become unclean in your sight?
Job 18:4	You who tear yourself in your anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
Job 18:5	Indeed, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Job 18:6	The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.
Job 18:7	The steps of his strength shall be narrowed, And his own counsel shall cast him down.
Job 18:8	For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks on its meshes.
Job 18:9	A trap shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him.
Job 18:10	A noose is hidden for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.
Job 18:11	Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.
Job 18:12	His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side.
Job 18:13	The members of his body shall be devoured, Indeed, the firstborn of death shall devour his members.
Job 18:14	He shall be rooted out of his tent in which he trusts; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
Job 18:15	There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered on his habitation.
Job 18:16	His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above his branch shall be cut off.
Job 18:17	His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.
Job 18:18	He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
Job 18:19	He shall have neither son nor son’s son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.
Job 18:20	Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, As those who went before were frightened.
Job 18:21	Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him who does not know God.
Job 19:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 19:2	How long will you vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words?
Job 19:3	These ten times you have reproached me: You are not ashamed that you deal harshly with me.
Job 19:4	And if it is indeed true that I have erred, My error remains with myself.
Job 19:5	If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach;
Job 19:6	Know now that God has subverted me in my cause, And has surrounded me with his net.
Job 19:7	Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.
Job 19:8	He has walled up my way that I cannot pass, And has set darkness in my paths.
Job 19:9	He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.
Job 19:10	He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope he has plucked up like a tree.
Job 19:11	He has also kindled his wrath against me, And he counts me to him as one of his adversaries.
Job 19:12	His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp all around my tent.
Job 19:13	He has put my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
Job 19:14	My relatives have failed, And my familiar friends have forgotten me.
Job 19:15	Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
Job 19:16	I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth.
Job 19:17	My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of my own mother.
Job 19:18	Even young children despise me; If I arise, they speak against me.
Job 19:19	All my familiar friends abhor me, And those whom I loved have turned against me.
Job 19:20	My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, And I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Job 19:21	Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends; For the hand of God has touched me.
Job 19:22	Why do you persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job 19:23	Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
Job 19:24	That with an iron pen and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!
Job 19:25	But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives, And at last he will stand up on the earth:
Job 19:26	And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed, Then without my flesh I shall see God;
Job 19:27	Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side, And my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.
Job 19:28	If you say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me;
Job 19:29	Be afraid of the sword: For wrath brings the punishments of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment.
Job 20:1	Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,
Job 20:2	Therefore my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
Job 20:3	I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answers me.
Job 20:4	Do you not know this from old time, Since man was placed on earth,
Job 20:5	That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Job 20:6	Though his height mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds;
Job 20:7	Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung: Those who have seen him shall say, Where is he?
Job 20:8	He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Indeed, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Job 20:9	The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place behold him anymore.
Job 20:10	His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.
Job 20:11	His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.
Job 20:12	Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, Though he hides it under his tongue,
Job 20:13	Though he spares it, and will not let it go, But keeps it still within his mouth;
Job 20:14	Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.
Job 20:15	He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
Job 20:16	He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper’s tongue shall slay him.
Job 20:17	He shall not look on the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.
Job 20:18	That which he labored for he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the wealth that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.
Job 20:19	For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
Job 20:20	Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save anything of that in which he delights.
Job 20:21	There was nothing left that he did not devour; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
Job 20:22	In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in distress: The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come upon him.
Job 20:23	When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him, And will rain it on him while he is eating.
Job 20:24	He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of bronze shall strike him through.
Job 20:25	He draws it out, and it comes out of his body; Indeed, the glittering point comes out of his gall: Terrors are upon him.
Job 20:26	All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown by man shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.
Job 20:27	The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.
Job 20:28	The increase of his house shall depart; His goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Job 20:29	This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed to him by God.
Job 21:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 21:2	Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.
Job 21:3	Allow me, and I also will speak; And after I have spoken, mock on.
Job 21:4	As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
Job 21:5	Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand on your mouth.
Job 21:6	Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror takes hold on my flesh.
Job 21:7	Why do the wicked live, Become old, indeed, grow mighty in power?
Job 21:8	Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.
Job 21:9	Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God on them.
Job 21:10	Their bull breeds, and does not fail; Their cow calves, and does not cast her calf.
Job 21:11	They send out their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.
Job 21:12	They sing to the tambourine and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
Job 21:13	They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol.
Job 21:14	And they say to God, Depart from us; For we do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
Job 21:15	What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?
Job 21:16	Look, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 21:17	How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity comes on them? That God distributes sorrows in his anger?
Job 21:18	That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carries away?
Job 21:19	You say, God lays up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it:
Job 21:20	Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Job 21:21	For what does he care for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
Job 21:22	Shall anyone teach God knowledge, Seeing he judges those who are high?
Job 21:23	One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:
Job 21:24	His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
Job 21:25	And another dies in bitterness of soul, And never tastes of good.
Job 21:26	They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covers them.
Job 21:27	Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices with which you would wrong me.
Job 21:28	For you say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent in which the wicked dwelt?
Job 21:29	Have you not asked wayfaring men? And do you not know their evidences,
Job 21:30	That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led out to the day of wrath?
Job 21:31	Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he has done?
Job 21:32	Yet he shall be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb.
Job 21:33	The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him.
Job 21:34	How then do you comfort me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remains only falsehood?
Job 22:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
Job 22:2	Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
Job 22:3	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?
Job 22:4	Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you, That he enters with you into judgment?
Job 22:5	Is not your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
Job 22:6	For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
Job 22:7	You have not given water to the weary to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
Job 22:8	But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
Job 22:9	You have sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Job 22:10	Therefore snares are all around you, And sudden fear troubles you,
Job 22:11	Or darkness, so that you cannot see, And abundance of waters cover you.
Job 22:12	Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
Job 22:13	And you say, What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
Job 22:14	Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he does not see; And he walks on the vault of heaven.
Job 22:15	Will you keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?
Job 22:16	Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
Job 22:17	Who said to God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?
Job 22:18	Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 22:19	The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
Job 22:20	Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire has consumed.
Job 22:21	Acquaint yourself now with him, and be at peace: By this good shall come to you.
Job 22:22	Receive, please, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in your heart.
Job 22:23	If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, If you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
Job 22:24	And lay your treasure in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
Job 22:25	And the Almighty will be your treasure, And precious silver to you.
Job 22:26	For then you shall delight yourself in the Almighty, And shall lift up your face to God.
Job 22:27	You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you; And you shall pay your vows.
Job 22:28	You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; And light shall shine on your ways.
Job 22:29	When they cast you down, you shall say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
Job 22:30	He will deliver even him who is not innocent: Indeed, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.
Job 23:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 23:2	Even today my complaint is rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Job 23:3	Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
Job 23:4	I would set my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
Job 23:5	I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say to me.
Job 23:6	Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me.
Job 23:7	There the upright might reason with him; So I would be delivered forever from my judge.
Job 23:8	Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
Job 23:9	On the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him; He hides himself on the right hand, so that I cannot see him.
Job 23:10	But he knows the way that I take; When he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:11	My foot has held fast to his steps; His way I have kept, and have not turned aside.
Job 23:12	I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Job 23:13	But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desires, even that he does.
Job 23:14	For he performs that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
Job 23:15	Therefore I am terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
Job 23:16	For God has made my heart faint, And the Almighty has terrified me;
Job 23:17	Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
Job 24:1	Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do those who know him not see his days?
Job 24:2	There are those who remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Job 24:3	They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Job 24:4	They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Job 24:5	Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert They go out to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
Job 24:6	They cut their fodder in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.
Job 24:7	They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.
Job 24:8	They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Job 24:9	There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge from the poor;
Job 24:10	So that they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.
Job 24:11	They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Job 24:12	From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded cries out: Yet God does not regard the folly.
Job 24:13	These are of those who rebel against the light; They do not know its ways, Nor abide in its paths.
Job 24:14	The murderer rises with the light; He kills the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.
Job 24:15	The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguises his face.
Job 24:16	In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the daytime; They do not know the light.
Job 24:17	For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
Job 24:18	Swiftly they pass away on the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They do not turn into the way of the vineyards.
Job 24:19	Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So does Sheol those who have sinned.
Job 24:20	The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
Job 24:21	He devours the barren who does not bear, And does no good to the widow.
Job 24:22	Yet God preserves the mighty by his power: He rises up who has no assurance of life.
Job 24:23	God gives them to be in security, and they rest on it; And his eyes are on their ways.
Job 24:24	They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Indeed, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Job 24:25	And if it is not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech worth nothing?
Job 25:1	Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
Job 25:2	Dominion and fear are with him; He makes peace in his high places.
Job 25:3	Is there any number of his armies? And on whom does his light not arise?
Job 25:4	How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of a woman?
Job 25:5	Behold, even the moon has no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight:
Job 25:6	How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!
Job 26:1	Then Job answered and said,
Job 26:2	How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
Job 26:3	How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
Job 26:4	To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from you?
Job 26:5	Those who are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.
Job 26:6	Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon has no covering.
Job 26:7	He stretches out the north over empty space, And hangs the earth on nothing.
Job 26:8	He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not torn under them.
Job 26:9	He encloses the face of his throne, And spreads his cloud over it.
Job 26:10	He has marked out a boundary on the face of the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.
Job 26:11	The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
Job 26:12	He stirs up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
Job 26:13	By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
Job 26:14	Look, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
Job 27:1	And Job again took up his parable, and said,
Job 27:2	As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has vexed my soul
Job 27:3	(For my life is still whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
Job 27:4	Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
Job 27:5	Far be it from me that I should justify you: Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
Job 27:6	My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Job 27:7	Let my enemy be as the wicked, And let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
Job 27:8	For what is the hope of the godless, though he gets gain for himself, When God takes away his soul?
Job 27:9	Will God hear his cry, When trouble comes on him?
Job 27:10	Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call on God at all times?
Job 27:11	I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
Job 27:12	Behold, all of you yourselves have seen it; Why then have you become altogether vain?
Job 27:13	This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:
Job 27:14	If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job 27:15	Those who remain of him shall be buried in death, And his widows shall make no lamentation.
Job 27:16	Though he heaps up silver as the dust, And prepares clothing as the clay;
Job 27:17	He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job 27:18	He builds his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper makes.
Job 27:19	He lies down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He opens his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20	Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest steals him away in the night.
Job 27:21	The east wind carries him away, and he departs; And it sweeps him out of his place.
Job 27:22	For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would gladly flee out of his hand.
Job 27:23	Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.
Job 28:1	Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.
Job 28:2	Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is smelted out of the stone.
Job 28:3	Man sets an end to darkness, And searches out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.
Job 28:4	He breaks open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten by the foot; They hang far from men, they swing to and fro.
Job 28:5	As for the earth, out of it comes bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
Job 28:6	Its stones are the place of sapphires, And it has dust of gold.
Job 28:7	That path no bird of prey knows, Neither has the falcon’s eye seen it:
Job 28:8	The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed by it.
Job 28:9	He puts out his hand on the flinty rock; He overturns the mountains by the roots.
Job 28:10	He cuts out channels among the rocks; And his eye sees every precious thing.
Job 28:11	He binds the streams so that they do not trickle; And the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
Job 28:12	But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Job 28:13	Man does not know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.
Job 28:14	The deep says, It is not in me; And the sea says, It is not with me.
Job 28:15	It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for its price.
Job 28:16	It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Job 28:17	Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
Job 28:18	No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Indeed, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Job 28:19	The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Job 28:20	From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?
Job 28:21	Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.
Job 28:22	Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.
Job 28:23	God understands its way, And he knows its place.
Job 28:24	For he looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heaven;
Job 28:25	To make a weight for the wind: Indeed, he measures out the waters by measure.
Job 28:26	When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;
Job 28:27	Then he saw it, and declared it; He established it, indeed, and searched it out.
Job 28:28	And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.
Job 29:1	And Job again took up his parable, and said,
Job 29:2	Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me;
Job 29:3	When his lamp shone on my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;
Job 29:4	As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was on my tent;
Job 29:5	When the Almighty was still with me, And my children were around me;
Job 29:6	When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!
Job 29:7	When I went out to the gate to the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,
Job 29:8	The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;
Job 29:9	The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;
Job 29:10	The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue clung to the roof of their mouth.
Job 29:11	For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Job 29:12	Because I delivered the poor who cried, The fatherless also, who had none to help him.
Job 29:13	The blessing of him who was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
Job 29:14	I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
Job 29:15	I was eyes to the blind, And feet I was to the lame.
Job 29:16	I was a father to the needy: And the cause of him whom I did not know I searched out.
Job 29:17	And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.
Job 29:18	Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:
Job 29:19	My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lies all night on my branch:
Job 29:20	My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
Job 29:21	To me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.
Job 29:22	After my words they did not speak again; And my speech distilled on them.
Job 29:23	And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Job 29:24	I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.
Job 29:25	I chose out their way, and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one who comforts the mourners.
Job 30:1	But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
Job 30:2	Indeed, the strength of their hands, of what profit should it be to me? Men in whom ripe age has perished.
Job 30:3	They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of waste and desolation.
Job 30:4	They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.
Job 30:5	They are driven out from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief;
Job 30:6	So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
Job 30:7	Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
Job 30:8	They are children of fools, indeed, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land.
Job 30:9	And now I have become their song, Indeed, I am a byword to them.
Job 30:10	They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And do not refrain from spitting in my face.
Job 30:11	For he has loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.
Job 30:12	On my right hand the rabble rise; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
Job 30:13	They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, Even men who have no helper.
Job 30:14	As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves on me.
Job 30:15	Terrors are turned on me; They chase my honor as the wind; And my welfare has passed away as a cloud.
Job 30:16	And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have taken hold of me.
Job 30:17	In the night season my bones are pierced in me, And the pains that gnaw me take no rest.
Job 30:18	By God’s great force my garment is disfigured; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.
Job 30:19	He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.
Job 30:20	I cry to you, and you do not answer me: I stand up, and you gaze at me.
Job 30:21	You have turned to be cruel to me; With the might of your hand you persecute me.
Job 30:22	You lift me up to the wind, you cause me to ride on it; And you dissolve me in the storm.
Job 30:23	For I know that you will bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.
Job 30:24	Yet does not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?
Job 30:25	Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
Job 30:26	When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
Job 30:27	My heart is troubled, and does not rest; Days of affliction have come upon me.
Job 30:28	I go mourning without the sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.
Job 30:29	I am a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.
Job 30:30	My skin is black, and falls from me, And my bones are burned with heat.
Job 30:31	Therefore my harp is turned to mourning, And my pipe into the voice of those who weep.
Job 31:1	I made a covenant with my eyes; How then should I look at a virgin?
Job 31:2	For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?
Job 31:3	Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?
Job 31:4	Does he not see my ways, And number all my steps?
Job 31:5	If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot has hurried to deceit
Job 31:6	(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know my integrity);
Job 31:7	If my step has turned out of the way, And my heart walked after my eyes, And if any spot has clung to my hands:
Job 31:8	Then let me sow, and let another eat; Indeed, let the produce of my field be rooted out.
Job 31:9	If my heart has been enticed to a woman, And I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door;
Job 31:10	Then let my wife grind for another, And let others bow down over her.
Job 31:11	For that would be a heinous crime; Indeed, it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges:
Job 31:12	For it is a fire that consumes to Destruction, And would root out all my increase.
Job 31:13	If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, When they contended with me;
Job 31:14	What then shall I do when God rises up? And when he visits, what shall I answer him?
Job 31:15	Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:16	If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Job 31:17	Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless has not eaten of it
Job 31:18	(No, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her I have guided from my mother’s womb);
Job 31:19	If I have seen any perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;
Job 31:20	If his loins have not blessed me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
Job 31:21	If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:
Job 31:22	Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade, And my arm be broken from the bone.
Job 31:23	For calamity from God is a terror to me, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing.
Job 31:24	If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, You are my confidence;
Job 31:25	If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;
Job 31:26	If I have beheld the sun when it shone, Or the moon walking in brightness,
Job 31:27	And my heart has been secretly enticed, And my mouth has kissed my hand:
Job 31:28	This also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I would have denied the God who is above.
Job 31:29	If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, Or lifted myself up when evil found him
Job 31:30	(Indeed, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);
Job 31:31	If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one who has not been filled with his meat?
Job 31:32	(The sojourner has not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveler);
Job 31:33	If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
Job 31:34	Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and did not go out of the door—
Job 31:35	Oh that I had one to hear me! (Look, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me) And that I had the indictment which my adversary has written!
Job 31:36	Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it to me as a crown:
Job 31:37	I would declare to him the number of my steps; As a prince I would go near to him.
Job 31:38	If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;
Job 31:39	If I have eaten its fruits without money, Or have caused its owners to lose their life:
Job 31:40	Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
Job 32:1	So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2	Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled: against Job his wrath was kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Job 32:3	Also against his three friends his wrath was kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Job 32:4	Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were older than he.
Job 32:5	And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
Job 32:6	And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and did not dare show you my opinion.
Job 32:7	I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Job 32:8	But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
Job 32:9	It is not the great who are wise, Nor the aged who understand justice.
Job 32:10	Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.
Job 32:11	Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, While you searched out what to say.
Job 32:12	Indeed, I attended to you, And, behold, there was none who convinced Job, Or who answered his words, among you.
Job 32:13	Beware lest you say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
Job 32:14	For he has not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Job 32:15	They are amazed, they answer no more: They do not have a word to say.
Job 32:16	And shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
Job 32:17	I also will answer my part, I also will show my opinion.
Job 32:18	For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.
Job 32:19	Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
Job 32:20	I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
Job 32:21	Do not let me, please, respect any man’s person; Neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
Job 32:22	For I do not know how to give flattering titles; Otherwise my Maker would soon take me away.
Job 33:1	However, Job, please hear my speech, And listen to all my words.
Job 33:2	Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
Job 33:3	My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
Job 33:4	The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:5	If you can, answer me; Set your words in order before me, stand up.
Job 33:6	Behold, I am toward God even as you are: I also am formed out of the clay.
Job 33:7	Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy on you.
Job 33:8	Surely you have spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
Job 33:9	I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
Job 33:10	Behold, he finds occasions against me, He counts me for his enemy;
Job 33:11	He puts my feet in the stocks, He marks all my paths.
Job 33:12	Behold, I will answer you, in this you are not just; For God is greater than man.
Job 33:13	Why do you strive against him, Because he does not give account of any of his matters?
Job 33:14	For God speaks once, Indeed twice, though man does not regard it.
Job 33:15	In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on men, In slumberings on the bed;
Job 33:16	Then he opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,
Job 33:17	That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;
Job 33:18	He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:19	He is chastened also with pain on his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
Job 33:20	So that his life abhors bread, And his soul dainty food.
Job 33:21	His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.
Job 33:22	Indeed, his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
Job 33:23	If there is with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show to man what is right for him;
Job 33:24	Then God is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
Job 33:25	His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returns to the days of his youth.
Job 33:26	He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, So that he sees his face with joy: And he restores to man his righteousness.
Job 33:27	He sings before men, and says, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it did not profit me:
Job 33:28	He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
Job 33:29	Look, all these things God works, Twice, indeed three times, with a man,
Job 33:30	To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 33:31	Mark well, O Job, listen to me: Hold your peace, and I will speak.
Job 33:32	If you have anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify you.
Job 33:33	If not, listen to me: Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.
Job 34:1	Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Job 34:2	Hear my words, you wise men; And give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
Job 34:3	For the ear tries words, As the palate tastes food.
Job 34:4	Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job 34:5	For Job has said, I am righteous, And God has taken away my right:
Job 34:6	Despite my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
Job 34:7	What man is like Job, Who drinks up scoffing like water,
Job 34:8	Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
Job 34:9	For he has said, It profits a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
Job 34:10	Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Job 34:11	For the work of a man he will render to him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.
Job 34:12	Indeed, surely, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.
Job 34:13	Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who has disposed the whole world?
Job 34:14	If he sets his heart on himself, If he gathers to himself his spirit and his breath;
Job 34:15	All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again to dust.
Job 34:16	If now you have understanding, hear this: Listen to the voice of my words.
Job 34:17	Shall even one who hates justice govern? And will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?—
Job 34:18	Him who says to a king, You are vile, Or to nobles, You are wicked;
Job 34:19	Who does not respect the persons of princes, Nor regards the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
Job 34:20	In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
Job 34:21	For his eyes are on the ways of a man, And he sees all his goings.
Job 34:22	There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Job 34:23	For he does not need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.
Job 34:24	He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And sets others in their place.
Job 34:25	Therefore he takes knowledge of their works; And he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Job 34:26	He strikes them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
Job 34:27	Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:
Job 34:28	So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.
Job 34:29	When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hides his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it is done to a nation, or to a man:
Job 34:30	That the godless man may not reign, That there may be none to ensnare the people.
Job 34:31	For has any said to God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
Job 34:32	That which I do not see teach me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
Job 34:33	Shall his recompense be as you will, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what you know.
Job 34:34	Men of understanding will say to me, Indeed, every wise man who hears me:
Job 34:35	Job speaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
Job 34:36	Would that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.
Job 34:37	For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.
Job 35:1	Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Job 35:2	Do you think this to be your right, Or do you say, My righteousness is more than God’s,
Job 35:3	That you say, What advantage will it be to you? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
Job 35:4	I will answer you, And your companions with you.
Job 35:5	Look to the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than you.
Job 35:6	If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
Job 35:7	If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
Job 35:8	Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; And your righteousness may profit a son of man.
Job 35:9	By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:10	But none says, Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,
Job 35:11	Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
Job 35:12	There they cry, but none gives answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
Job 35:13	Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it.
Job 35:14	How much less when you say you do not behold him, The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
Job 35:15	But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance;
Job 35:16	Therefore Job opens his mouth in vanity; He multiplies words without knowledge.
Job 36:1	Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Job 36:2	Bear with me a little, and I will show you; For I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
Job 36:3	I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Job 36:4	For truly my words are not false: One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
Job 36:5	Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any: He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Job 36:6	He does not preserve the life of the wicked, But gives to the afflicted their right.
Job 36:7	He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous: But with kings on the throne He sets them forever, and they are exalted.
Job 36:8	And if they are bound in fetters, And are taken in the cords of affliction;
Job 36:9	Then he shows them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
Job 36:10	He opens also their ear to instruction, And commands that they return from iniquity.
Job 36:11	If they listen and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
Job 36:12	But if they do not listen, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.
Job 36:13	But those who are godless in heart lay up anger: They do not cry for help when he binds them.
Job 36:14	They die in youth, And their life perishes among the unclean.
Job 36:15	He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, And opens their ear in oppression.
Job 36:16	Indeed, he would have allured you out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no restriction; And that which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
Job 36:17	But you are full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold of you.
Job 36:18	For do not let wrath stir you up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
Job 36:19	Will your cry avail, that you may not be in distress, Or all the forces of your strength?
Job 36:20	Do not desire the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.
Job 36:21	Take heed, do not regard iniquity: For this you have chosen rather than affliction.
Job 36:22	Behold, God acts loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like him?
Job 36:23	Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, You have done unrighteousness?
Job 36:24	Remember that you magnify his work, Of which men have sung.
Job 36:25	All men have looked on it; Man beholds it from afar.
Job 36:26	Behold, God is great, and we do not know him; The number of his years is unsearchable.
Job 36:27	For he draws up the drops of water, Which distill in rain from his vapor,
Job 36:28	Which the skies pour down And drop on man abundantly.
Job 36:29	Indeed, can anyone understand the spreadings of the clouds, The thunderings of his pavilion?
Job 36:30	Behold, he spreads his light around him; And he covers the bottom of the sea.
Job 36:31	For by these he judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance.
Job 36:32	He covers his hands with the lightning, And gives it a charge that it strikes the mark.
Job 36:33	Its noise tells concerning him, The cattle also concerning the storm that comes up.
Job 37:1	Indeed, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place.
Job 37:2	Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goes out of his mouth.
Job 37:3	He sends it out under the whole heaven, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
Job 37:4	After it a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of his majesty; And he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
Job 37:5	God thunders marvelously with his voice; Great things he does, which we cannot comprehend.
Job 37:6	For he says to the snow, Fall on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.
Job 37:7	He seals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he has made may know it.
Job 37:8	Then the beasts go into hiding places, And remain in their dens.
Job 37:9	Out of the chamber of the south comes the storm, And cold out of the north.
Job 37:10	By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is narrowed.
Job 37:11	Indeed, he loads the thick cloud with moisture; He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning:
Job 37:12	And it is turned all around by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the face of the habitable world,
Job 37:13	Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he causes it to come.
Job 37:14	Listen to this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Job 37:15	Do you know how God lays his charge on them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
Job 37:16	Do you know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
Job 37:17	How your garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
Job 37:18	Can you with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
Job 37:19	Teach us what we shall say to him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
Job 37:20	Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Job 37:21	And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passes, and clears them.
Job 37:22	Out of the north comes golden splendor: God has on him terrible majesty.
Job 37:23	As for the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.
Job 37:24	Men therefore fear him: He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
Job 38:1	Then Yehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2	Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?
Job 38:3	Gird up now your loins like a man; For I will question you, and you declare to me.
Job 38:4	Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
Job 38:5	Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?
Job 38:6	On what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
Job 38:7	When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8	Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it broke out, as if it had issued out of the womb;
Job 38:9	When I made clouds its garment, And thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
Job 38:10	And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,
Job 38:11	And said, Thus far you shall come, but no further; And here shall your proud waves be stopped?
Job 38:12	Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place;
Job 38:13	That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14	It is changed as clay under the seal; And all things stand out as a garment:
Job 38:15	And from the wicked their light is withheld, And the high arm is broken.
Job 38:16	Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
Job 38:17	Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18	Have you comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if you know it all.
Job 38:19	Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is its place,
Job 38:20	That you should take it to its bound, And that you should discern the paths to its house?
Job 38:21	Doubtless, you know, for you were then born, And the number of your days is great!
Job 38:22	Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, Or have you seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23	Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24	By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered on the earth?
Job 38:25	Who has cut a channel for the flood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;
Job 38:26	To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, in which there is no man;
Job 38:27	To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, And to cause the tender grass to spring up?
Job 38:28	Does the rain have a father? Or who has fathered the drops of dew?
Job 38:29	Out of whose womb came the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given birth to it?
Job 38:30	The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.
Job 38:31	Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32	Can you lead out the Mazzaroth in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her train?
Job 38:33	Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their dominion in the earth?
Job 38:34	Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?
Job 38:35	Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, And say to you, Here we are?
Job 38:36	Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?
Job 38:37	Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the waterskins of heaven,
Job 38:38	When the dust runs into a mass, And the clods cling fast together?
Job 38:39	Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40	When they crouch in their dens, And abide in the thicket to lie in wait?
Job 38:41	Who provides for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry to God, And wander for lack of food?
Job 39:1	Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock give birth? Or can you mark when the does calve?
Job 39:2	Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?
Job 39:3	They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their labor pains.
Job 39:4	Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go out, and do not return again.
Job 39:5	Who has sent out the wild donkey free? Or who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
Job 39:6	Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling place?
Job 39:7	He scorns the tumult of the city, Neither does he hear the shoutings of the driver.
Job 39:8	The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing.
Job 39:9	Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he abide by your manger?
Job 39:10	Can you bind the wild ox with his rope in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
Job 39:11	Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?
Job 39:12	Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, And gather the grain of your threshing floor?
Job 39:13	The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?
Job 39:14	For she leaves her eggs on the earth, And warms them in the dust,
Job 39:15	And forgets that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
Job 39:16	She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear;
Job 39:17	Because God has deprived her of wisdom, Neither has he imparted to her understanding.
Job 39:18	When she lifts herself up on high, She scorns the horse and his rider.
Job 39:19	Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
Job 39:20	Have you made him leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
Job 39:21	He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: He goes out to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22	He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither does he turn back from the sword.
Job 39:23	The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.
Job 39:24	He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither does he believe that it is the voice of the trumpet.
Job 39:25	As often as the trumpet sounds he says, Aha! And he smells the battle from afar, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Job 39:26	Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, And stretches her wings toward the south?
Job 39:27	Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, And makes her nest on high?
Job 39:28	On the cliff she dwells, and makes her home, On the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.
Job 39:29	From there she spies out the prey; Her eyes behold it from afar.
Job 39:30	Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
Job 40:1	Moreover Yehovah answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2	Shall the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3	Then Job answered Yehovah, and said,
Job 40:4	Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
Job 40:5	Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Indeed, twice, but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6	Then Yehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7	Gird up your loins now like a man: I will question you, and you declare to me.
Job 40:8	Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
Job 40:9	Or do you have an arm like God? And can you thunder with a voice like him?
Job 40:10	Adorn yourself now with excellency and dignity; And array yourself with honor and majesty.
Job 40:11	Pour out the overflowings of your anger; And look on everyone who is proud, and abase him.
Job 40:12	Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand.
Job 40:13	Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place.
Job 40:14	Then I will also confess to you That your own right hand can save you.
Job 40:15	Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass as an ox.
Job 40:16	Look now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the muscles of his belly.
Job 40:17	He moves his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
Job 40:18	His bones are as tubes of bronze; His limbs are like bars of iron.
Job 40:19	He is the chief of the ways of God: Only he who made him gives him his sword.
Job 40:20	Surely the mountains bring him food, Where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21	He lies under the lotus trees, In the shelter of the reed, and the marsh.
Job 40:22	The lotus trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook surround him.
Job 40:23	Behold, if a river overflows, he does not tremble; He is confident, though a Jordan swells even to his mouth.
Job 40:24	Shall anyone take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?
Job 41:1	Can you draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
Job 41:2	Can you put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
Job 41:3	Will he make many supplications to you? Or will he speak soft words to you?
Job 41:4	Will he make a covenant with you, That you should take him for a servant forever?
Job 41:5	Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your young women?
Job 41:6	Will the bands of fishermen bargain over him? Will they divide him among the merchants?
Job 41:7	Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
Job 41:8	Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.
Job 41:9	Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Job 41:10	None is so fierce that he dares stir him up; Who then is he who can stand before me?
Job 41:11	Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Job 41:12	I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
Job 41:13	Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?
Job 41:14	Who can open the doors of his face? All around his teeth is terror.
Job 41:15	His strong scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.
Job 41:16	One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
Job 41:17	They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be separated.
Job 41:18	His sneezings flash out light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Job 41:19	Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap out.
Job 41:20	Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, As of a boiling pot and burning rushes.
Job 41:21	His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out from his mouth.
Job 41:22	In his neck abides strength, And terror dances before him.
Job 41:23	The folds of his flesh are joined together: They are firm on him; they cannot be moved.
Job 41:24	His heart is as firm as a stone; Indeed, firm as the lower millstone.
Job 41:25	When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
Job 41:26	If one strikes at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
Job 41:27	He counts iron as straw, And bronze as rotten wood.
Job 41:28	The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29	Clubs are counted as stubble: He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
Job 41:30	His underparts are like sharp potsherds: He spreads as it were a threshing sledge on the mire.
Job 41:31	He makes the deep boil like a pot: He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Job 41:32	He makes a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be white-haired.
Job 41:33	On earth there is not his like, One made without fear.
Job 41:34	He beholds everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.
Job 42:1	Then Job answered Yehovah, and said,
Job 42:2	I know that you can do all things, And that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
Job 42:3	Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Job 42:4	Hear, I beg you, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.
Job 42:5	I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees you:
Job 42:6	Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.
Job 42:7	And it was so, that, after Yehovah had spoken these words to Job, Yehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
Job 42:8	Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him I will accept, that I may not deal with you according to your folly; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
Job 42:9	So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Yehovah commanded them: and Yehovah accepted Job.
Job 42:10	And Yehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Yehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11	Then all his brothers came to him, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Yehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
Job 42:12	So Yehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
Job 42:13	He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14	And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15	And in all the land no women were found so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.
Job 42:16	And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
Job 42:17	So Job died, being old and full of days.
Psalms 1:1	Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers:
Psalms 1:2	But his delight is in the law of Yehovah; And on his law he meditates day and night.
Psalms 1:3	And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
Psalms 1:4	The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Psalms 1:5	Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Psalms 2:4	He who sits in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
Psalms 2:5	Then he will speak to them in his wrath, And terrify them in his fierce displeasure:
Psalms 2:6	Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psalms 2:7	I will tell of the decree: Yehovah said to me, You are my son; This day I have begotten you.
Psalms 2:8	Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Psalms 2:11	Serve Yehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Psalms 2:12	Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Psalms 74:6	And now all its carved work They break down with hatchet and hammers.
Psalms 74:7	They have set your sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling place of your name by casting it to the ground.
Psalms 74:8	They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Psalms 74:9	We do not see our signs: There is no longer any prophet; Nor is there among us any who knows how long.
Psalms 74:10	How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
Psalms 74:11	Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Pluck it out of your bosom and consume them.
Psalms 74:12	Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Psalms 74:13	You divided the sea by your strength: You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
Psalms 74:14	You broke the heads of leviathan in pieces; You gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

Psalms 74:18	Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Yehovah, And that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.
Psalms 74:19	Oh do not deliver the soul of your turtledove to the wild beast: Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
Psalms 74:20	Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Psalms 74:21	Oh do not let the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise your name.
Psalms 74:22	Arise, O God, plead your own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproaches you all the day.
Psalms 74:23	Do not forget the voice of your adversaries: The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
Psalms 75:1	For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks to you, O God; We give thanks, for your name is near: Men tell of your wondrous works.
Psalms 75:2	When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
Psalms 75:3	The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved: I have set up its pillars. [Selah
Psalms 75:4	I said to the arrogant, Do not deal arrogantly; And to the wicked, Do not lift up the horn:
Psalms 75:5	Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.
Psalms 75:6	For neither from the east, nor from the west, Nor yet from the south, comes lifting up.
Psalms 75:7	But God is the judge: He puts down one, and lifts up another.
Psalms 75:8	For in the hand of Yehovah there is a cup, and the wine foams; It is full of mixture, and he pours out of it: Surely its dregs, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
Psalms 75:9	But I will declare forever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Psalms 75:10	All the horns of the wicked also I will cut off; But the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
Psalms 76:1	For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.
Psalms 76:2	In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling place in Zion.
Psalms 76:3	There he broke the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
Psalms 76:4	Glorious are you and excellent, From the mountains of prey.
Psalms 76:5	The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.
Psalms 76:6	At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Psalms 76:7	You, even you, are to be feared; And who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
Psalms 76:8	You caused sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,
Psalms 76:9	When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah
Psalms 76:10	Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: The residue of wrath you shall gird upon yourself.
Psalms 76:11	Vow, and pay to Yehovah your God: Let all who are around him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.
Psalms 76:12	He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
Psalms 77:1	For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry to God with my voice, Even to God with my voice; and he will give ear to me.
Psalms 77:2	In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and did not slacken; My soul refused to be comforted.
Psalms 77:3	I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. [Selah
Psalms 77:4	You hold my eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psalms 77:5	I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.
Psalms 77:6	I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart; And my spirit makes diligent search.
Psalms 77:7	Will the Lord cast off forever? And will he be favorable no more?
Psalms 77:8	Is his lovingkindness completely gone forever? Does his promise fail forevermore?
Psalms 77:9	Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? [Selah
Psalms 77:10	And I said, This is my infirmity; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Psalms 77:11	I will make mention of the deeds of Yehovah; For I will remember your wonders of old.
Psalms 77:12	I will meditate also upon all your work, And muse on your doings.
Psalms 77:13	Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: Who is a great god like God?
Psalms 77:14	You are the God who does wonders: You have made known your strength among the peoples.
Psalms 77:15	You have with your arm redeemed your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. [Selah
Psalms 77:16	The waters saw you, O God; The waters saw you, they were afraid: The depths also trembled.
Psalms 77:17	The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound: Your arrows also went abroad.
Psalms 77:18	The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world: The earth trembled and shook.
Psalms 77:19	Your way was in the sea, And your paths in the great waters, And your footsteps were not known.
Psalms 77:20	You led your people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Psalms 78:1	Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psalms 78:2	I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,
Psalms 78:3	Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.
Psalms 78:4	We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Yehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.
Psalms 78:5	For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;
Psalms 78:6	That the generation to come might know them, even the children who should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,
Psalms 78:7	That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
Psalms 78:8	And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that did not set their heart aright, And whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
Psalms 78:9	The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
Psalms 78:10	They did not keep the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
Psalms 78:11	And they forgot his doings, And his wondrous works that he had shown them.
Psalms 78:12	Marvelous things he did in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
Psalms 78:13	He split the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters stand as a heap.
Psalms 78:14	In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
Psalms 78:15	He split rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
Psalms 78:16	He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.
Psalms 78:17	Yet they went on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
Psalms 78:18	And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.
Psalms 78:19	Yes, they spoke against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
Psalms 78:20	Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?
Psalms 78:21	Therefore Yehovah heard, and was angry; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;
Psalms 78:22	Because they did not believe in God, And did not trust in his salvation.
Psalms 78:23	Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;
Psalms 78:24	And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.
Psalms 78:25	Man ate the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.
Psalms 78:26	He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.
Psalms 78:27	He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:
Psalms 78:28	And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, All around their habitations.
Psalms 78:29	So they ate, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.
Psalms 78:30	They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,
Psalms 78:31	When the anger of God went up against them, And slew some of the fattest of them, And struck down the young men of Israel.
Psalms 78:32	For all this they sinned still, And did not believe in his wondrous works.
Psalms 78:33	Therefore their days he consumed in vanity, And their years in terror.
Psalms 78:34	When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.
Psalms 78:35	And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.
Psalms 78:36	But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied to him with their tongue.
Psalms 78:37	For their heart was not right with him, Nor were they faithful in his covenant.
Psalms 78:38	But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them: Yes, many a time he turned his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.
Psalms 78:39	And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes away, and does not come again.
Psalms 78:40	How often did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!
Psalms 78:41	And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.
Psalms 78:42	They did not remember his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
Psalms 78:43	How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,
Psalms 78:44	And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.
Psalms 78:45	He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.
Psalms 78:46	He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, And their labor to the locust.
Psalms 78:47	He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycamore trees with frost.
Psalms 78:48	He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Psalms 78:49	He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.
Psalms 78:50	He made a path for his anger; He did not spare their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,
Psalms 78:51	And struck all the firstborn in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
Psalms 78:52	But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
Psalms 78:53	And he led them safely, so that they did not fear; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
Psalms 78:54	And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had acquired.
Psalms 78:55	He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.
Psalms 78:56	Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And did not keep his testimonies;
Psalms 78:57	But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
Psalms 78:58	For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
Psalms 78:59	When God heard this, he was angry, And greatly abhorred Israel;
Psalms 78:60	So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;
Psalms 78:61	And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary’s hand.
Psalms 78:62	He gave his people over also to the sword, And was angry with his inheritance.
Psalms 78:63	Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage song.
Psalms 78:64	Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.
Psalms 78:65	Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
Psalms 78:66	And he struck his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.
Psalms 78:67	Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,
Psalms 78:68	But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.
Psalms 78:69	And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he has established forever.
Psalms 78:70	He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:
Psalms 78:71	From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
Psalms 78:72	So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
Psalms 79:1	A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Psalms 79:2	The dead bodies of your servants they have given to be food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
Psalms 79:3	Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.
Psalms 79:4	We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Psalms 79:5	How long, O Yehovah? will you be angry forever? Shall your jealousy burn like fire?
Psalms 79:6	Pour out your wrath upon the nations that do not know you, And upon the kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
Psalms 79:7	For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.
Psalms 79:8	Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let your tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.
Psalms 79:9	Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
Psalms 79:10	Why should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of your servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.
Psalms 79:11	Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you: According to the greatness of your power preserve those who are appointed to death;
Psalms 79:12	And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
Psalms 79:13	So we your people and sheep of your pasture Will give you thanks forever: We will declare your praise to all generations.
Psalms 80:1	For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
Psalms 80:2	Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might, And come to save us.
Psalms 80:3	Turn us again, O God; And cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Psalms 80:4	O Yehovah God of hosts, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
Psalms 80:5	You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
Psalms 80:6	You make us a strife to our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psalms 80:7	Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Psalms 80:8	You brought a vine out of Egypt: You drove out the nations, and planted it.
Psalms 80:9	You prepared room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
Psalms 80:10	The mountains were covered with its shadow, And its boughs were like cedars of God.
Psalms 80:11	It sent out its branches to the sea, And its shoots to the River.
Psalms 80:12	Why have you broken down its walls, So that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
Psalms 80:13	The boar out of the wood ravages it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
Psalms 80:14	Turn again, we beseech you, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
Psalms 80:15	And the stock which your right hand planted, And the branch that you made strong for yourself.
Psalms 80:16	It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
Psalms 80:17	Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, Upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
Psalms 80:18	So we shall not go back from you: Revive us, and we will call upon your name.
Psalms 80:19	Turn us again, O Yehovah God of hosts; Cause your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Psalms 81:1	For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: Make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Psalms 81:2	Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psalms 81:3	Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
Psalms 81:4	For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Psalms 81:5	He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I did not know.
Psalms 81:6	I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
Psalms 81:7	You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. [Selah
Psalms 81:8	Hear, O my people, and I will testify to you: O Israel, if you would listen to me!
Psalms 81:9	There shall be no strange god in you; Nor shall you bow down to any foreign god.
Psalms 81:10	I am Yehovah your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt: Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Psalms 81:11	But my people did not listen to my voice; And Israel would have none of me.
Psalms 81:12	So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
Psalms 81:13	Oh that my people would listen to me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
Psalms 81:14	I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
Psalms 81:15	The haters of Yehovah would submit themselves to him: But their time would endure forever.
Psalms 81:16	He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you.
Psalms 82:1	A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of God; He judges among the gods.

Psalms 82:4	Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Psalms 82:6	I said, You are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.
Psalms 82:7	Nevertheless you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
Psalms 82:8	Arise, O God, judge the earth; For you shall inherit all the nations.
Psalms 83:1	A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, do not keep silent: Do not hold your peace, and do not be still, O God.
Psalms 83:2	For, behold, your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate you have lifted up the head.
Psalms 83:3	They take crafty counsel against your people, And consult together against your hidden ones.
Psalms 83:4	They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psalms 83:5	For they have consulted together with one consent; Against you they make a covenant:
Psalms 83:6	The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psalms 83:7	Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:
Psalms 83:8	Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. [Selah
Psalms 83:9	Do to them as to Midian, As to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;
Psalms 83:10	Who perished at Endor, Who became as dung for the earth.
Psalms 83:11	Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb; Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna;
Psalms 83:12	Who said, Let us take to ourselves in possession The habitations of God.
Psalms 83:13	O my God, make them like the whirling dust; As stubble before the wind.
Psalms 83:14	As the fire that burns the forest, And as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,
Psalms 83:15	So pursue them with your tempest, And terrify them with your storm.
Psalms 83:16	Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, O Yehovah.
Psalms 83:17	Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
Psalms 83:18	That they may know that you alone, whose name is Yehovah, Are the Most High over all the earth.
Psalms 84:1	For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely are your tabernacles, O Yehovah of hosts!
Psalms 84:2	My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of Yehovah; My heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.
Psalms 84:3	Yes, the sparrow has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even your altars, O Yehovah of hosts, My King, and my God.

Psalms 85:2	You have forgiven the iniquity of your people; You have covered all their sin. [Selah
Psalms 85:3	You have taken away all your wrath; You have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
Psalms 85:4	Turn us, O God of our salvation, And cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Psalms 85:5	Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Psalms 85:6	Will you not revive us again, That your people may rejoice in you?
Psalms 85:7	Show us your lovingkindness, O Yehovah, And grant us your salvation.
Psalms 85:8	I will hear what God Yehovah will speak; For he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: But do not let them turn again to folly.

Psalms 88:3	For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to Sheol.
Psalms 88:4	I am reckoned with those who go down into the pit; I am as a man who has no help,

Psalms 104:9	You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they may not turn again to cover the earth.
Psalms 104:10	He sends forth springs into the valleys; They run among the mountains;
Psalms 104:11	They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
Psalms 104:12	By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation; They sing among the branches.
Psalms 104:13	He waters the mountains from his chambers: The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
Psalms 104:14	He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man; That he may bring forth food out of the earth,
Psalms 104:15	And wine that makes glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face shine, And bread that strengthens man’s heart.
Psalms 104:16	The trees of Yehovah are filled with moisture, The cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
Psalms 104:17	Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Psalms 104:18	The high mountains are for the wild goats; The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
Psalms 104:19	He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knows his going down.
Psalms 104:20	You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
Psalms 104:21	The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from God.
Psalms 104:22	The sun arises, they get away, And lie down in their dens.
Psalms 104:23	Man goes forth to his work And to his labor until the evening.
Psalms 104:24	O Yehovah, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all: The earth is full of your riches.
Psalms 104:25	There is the sea, great and wide, In which are creeping things innumerable, Both small and great beasts.
Psalms 104:26	There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom you have formed to play in it.
Psalms 104:27	These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season.
Psalms 104:28	You give to them, they gather; You open your hand, they are satisfied with good.
Psalms 104:29	You hide your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die, And return to their dust.
Psalms 104:30	You send forth your Spirit, they are created; And you renew the face of the ground.
Psalms 104:31	Let the glory of Yehovah endure forever; Let Yehovah rejoice in his works:
Psalms 104:32	Who looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
Psalms 104:33	I will sing to Yehovah as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Psalms 104:34	Let my meditation be sweet to him: I will rejoice in Yehovah.

Psalms 105:2	Sing to him, sing praises to him; Talk of all his marvelous works.
Psalms 105:3	Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of those who seek Yehovah rejoice.
Psalms 105:4	Seek Yehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
Psalms 105:5	Remember his marvelous works that he has done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Psalms 105:6	O you seed of Abraham his servant, You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Psalms 105:7	He is Yehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.
Psalms 105:8	He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Psalms 105:9	The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath to Isaac,
Psalms 105:10	And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Psalms 105:11	Saying, To you I will give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
Psalms 105:12	When they were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
Psalms 105:13	And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
Psalms 105:14	He allowed no man to do them wrong; Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Psalms 105:15	Saying, Do not touch my anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
Psalms 105:16	And he called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
Psalms 105:17	He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
Psalms 105:18	His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron,
Psalms 105:19	Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Yehovah tried him.
Psalms 105:20	The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
Psalms 105:21	He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;
Psalms 105:22	To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
Psalms 105:23	Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Psalms 105:24	And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
Psalms 105:25	He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
Psalms 105:26	He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen.
Psalms 105:27	They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
Psalms 105:28	He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they did not rebel against his words.
Psalms 105:29	He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.
Psalms 105:30	Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.
Psalms 105:31	He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, And gnats in all their borders.
Psalms 105:32	He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
Psalms 105:33	He struck their vines also and their fig trees, And broke the trees of their borders.
Psalms 105:34	He spoke, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,
Psalms 105:35	And ate up every herb in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.
Psalms 105:36	He struck also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength.
Psalms 105:37	And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
Psalms 105:38	Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Psalms 105:39	He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
Psalms 105:40	They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Psalms 105:41	He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.
Psalms 105:42	For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant.
Psalms 105:43	And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing.
Psalms 105:44	And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
Psalms 105:45	That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise Yehovah.
Psalms 106:1	Praise Yehovah. Oh give thanks to Yehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endures forever.
Psalms 106:2	Who can utter the mighty acts of Yehovah, Or declare all his praise?
Psalms 106:3	Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times.
Psalms 106:4	Remember me, O Yehovah, with the favor that you bear to your people; Oh visit me with your salvation,
Psalms 106:5	That I may see the prosperity of your chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, That I may glory with your inheritance.
Psalms 106:6	We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
Psalms 106:7	Our fathers did not understand your wonders in Egypt; They did not remember the multitude of your lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Psalms 106:8	Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power known.
Psalms 106:9	He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
Psalms 106:10	And he saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Psalms 106:11	And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
Psalms 106:12	Then they believed his words; They sang his praise.
Psalms 106:13	They soon forgot his works; They did not wait for his counsel,
Psalms 106:14	But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
Psalms 106:15	And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
Psalms 106:16	They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron the saint of Yehovah.
Psalms 106:17	The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
Psalms 106:18	And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
Psalms 106:19	They made a calf in Horeb, And bowed down to a molten image.
Psalms 106:20	Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eats grass.
Psalms 106:21	They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
Psalms 106:22	Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.
Psalms 106:23	Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
Psalms 106:24	Yes, they despised the pleasant land, They did not believe his word,
Psalms 106:25	But murmured in their tents, And did not listen to the voice of Yehovah.
Psalms 106:26	Therefore he swore to them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
Psalms 106:27	And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
Psalms 106:28	They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Psalms 106:29	Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague broke in upon them.
Psalms 106:30	Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
Psalms 106:31	And that was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forevermore.
Psalms 106:32	They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
Psalms 106:33	Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
Psalms 106:34	They did not destroy the peoples, As Yehovah commanded them,
Psalms 106:35	But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
Psalms 106:36	And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
Psalms 106:37	Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
Psalms 106:38	And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
Psalms 106:39	Thus they were defiled with their works, And played the prostitute in their doings.
Psalms 106:40	Therefore the wrath of Yehovah was kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
Psalms 106:41	And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And those who hated them ruled over them.
Psalms 106:42	Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Psalms 106:43	Many times he delivered them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.
Psalms 106:44	Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:
Psalms 106:45	And he remembered for them his covenant, And relented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Psalms 106:46	He made them also to be pitied By all those who carried them captive.
Psalms 106:47	Save us, O Yehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to your holy name, And to triumph in your praise.
Psalms 106:48	Blessed be Yehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise Yehovah.
Psalms 107:1	O give thanks to Yehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endures forever.
Psalms 107:2	Let the redeemed of Yehovah say so, Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
Psalms 107:3	And gathered out of the lands, From the east and from the west, From the north and from the south.
Psalms 107:4	They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way; They found no city of habitation.
Psalms 107:5	Hungry and thirsty, Their soul fainted in them.
Psalms 107:6	Then they cried to Yehovah in their trouble, And he delivered them out of their distresses,
Psalms 107:7	He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.
Psalms 107:8	Oh that men would praise Yehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms 107:9	For he satisfies the longing soul, And the hungry soul he fills with good.
Psalms 107:10	Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,
Psalms 107:11	Because they rebelled against the words of God, And spurned the counsel of the Most High:
Psalms 107:12	Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; They fell down, and there was none to help.
Psalms 107:13	Then they cried to Yehovah in their trouble, And he saved them out of their distresses.
Psalms 107:14	He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds apart.
Psalms 107:15	Oh that men would praise Yehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms 107:16	For he has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in two.
Psalms 107:17	Fools because of their transgression, And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Psalms 107:18	Their soul abhors all manner of food; And they draw near to the gates of death.
Psalms 107:19	Then they cry to Yehovah in their trouble, And he saves them out of their distresses.
Psalms 107:20	He sends his word, and heals them, And delivers them from their destructions.
Psalms 107:21	Oh that men would praise Yehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms 107:22	And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare his works with singing.
Psalms 107:23	Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters;
Psalms 107:24	These see the works of Yehovah, And his wonders in the deep.
Psalms 107:25	For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up its waves.
Psalms 107:26	They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths: Their soul melts away because of trouble.
Psalms 107:27	They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, And are at their wits’ end.
Psalms 107:28	Then they cry to Yehovah in their trouble, And he brings them out of their distresses.
Psalms 107:29	He makes the storm a calm, So that its waves are still.
Psalms 107:30	Then they are glad because they are quiet; So he brings them to their desired haven.
Psalms 107:31	Oh that men would praise Yehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms 107:32	Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders.
Psalms 107:33	He turns rivers into a wilderness, And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
Psalms 107:34	A fruitful land into a salt desert, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
Psalms 107:35	He turns a wilderness into a pool of water, And a dry land into springs of water.
Psalms 107:36	And there he makes the hungry dwell, That they may prepare a city of habitation,
Psalms 107:37	And sow fields, and plant vineyards, And get fruits of increase.
Psalms 107:38	He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; And he does not allow their cattle to decrease.
Psalms 107:39	Again, they are diminished and bowed down Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
Psalms 107:40	He pours contempt upon princes, And causes them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
Psalms 107:41	Yet he sets the needy on high from affliction, And makes families for him like a flock.
Psalms 107:42	The upright shall see it, and be glad; And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Psalms 107:43	Whoever is wise will give heed to these things; And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Yehovah.

Psalms 109:14	Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Yehovah; And do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Psalms 109:15	Let them be before Yehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
Psalms 109:16	Because he did not remember to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.
Psalms 109:17	Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
Psalms 109:18	He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.

Psalms 109:27	That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yehovah, have done it.
Psalms 109:28	Let them curse, but bless you: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But your servant shall rejoice.

Proverbs 1:1	The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
Proverbs 1:2	To know wisdom and instruction; To discern the words of understanding;
Proverbs 1:3	To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness and justice and equity;
Proverbs 1:4	To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion:
Proverbs 1:5	That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsels:
Proverbs 1:6	To understand a proverb, and a figure, The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Proverbs 1:7	The fear of Yehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:8	My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother:
Proverbs 1:9	For they shall be a garland of grace to your head, And chains around your neck.
Proverbs 1:10	My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
Proverbs 1:11	If they say, Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
Proverbs 1:12	Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those who go down into the pit;
Proverbs 1:13	We shall find all precious wealth; We shall fill our houses with spoil;
Proverbs 1:14	You shall cast your lot among us; We will all have one purse:
Proverbs 1:15	My son, do not walk in the way with them; Restrain your foot from their path:
Proverbs 1:16	For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
Proverbs 1:17	For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:
Proverbs 1:18	And these lie in wait for their own blood; They lurk secretly for their own lives.
Proverbs 1:19	So are the ways of every one who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.
Proverbs 1:20	Wisdom cries aloud in the street; She utters her voice in the broad places;
Proverbs 1:21	She cries at the head of the noisy streets; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she utters her words:
Proverbs 1:22	How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
Proverbs 1:23	Turn at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words to you.
Proverbs 1:24	Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man has paid attention;
Proverbs 1:25	But you have ignored all my counsel, And would have none of my reproof:
Proverbs 1:26	I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes;
Proverbs 1:27	When your fear comes as a storm, And your calamity comes on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.
Proverbs 1:28	Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:
Proverbs 1:29	Because they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Yehovah,
Proverbs 1:30	They would have none of my counsel, They despised all my reproof.
Proverbs 1:31	Therefore they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices.
Proverbs 1:32	For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.
Proverbs 1:33	But whoever listens to me shall dwell securely, And shall be quiet without fear of evil.
Proverbs 2:1	My son, if you will receive my words, And lay up my commandments with you;
Proverbs 2:2	So as to incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;
Proverbs 2:3	Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding;
Proverbs 2:4	If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures:
Proverbs 2:5	Then you shall understand the fear of Yehovah, And find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:6	For Yehovah gives wisdom; Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding:
Proverbs 2:7	He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity;
Proverbs 2:8	That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.
Proverbs 2:9	Then you shall understand righteousness and justice, And equity, yes, every good path.
Proverbs 2:10	For wisdom shall enter into your heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant to your soul;
Proverbs 2:11	Discretion shall watch over you; Understanding shall keep you:
Proverbs 2:12	To deliver you from the way of evil, From the men who speak perverse things;
Proverbs 2:13	Who forsake the paths of uprightness, To walk in the ways of darkness;
Proverbs 2:14	Who rejoice to do evil, And delight in the perverseness of evil;
Proverbs 2:15	Who are crooked in their ways, And wayward in their paths:
Proverbs 2:16	To deliver you from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;
Proverbs 2:17	Who forsakes the companion of her youth, And forgets the covenant of her God:
Proverbs 2:18	For her house inclines to death, And her paths to the dead;
Proverbs 2:19	None who go to her return again, Nor do they attain to the paths of life:
Proverbs 2:20	That you may walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous.
Proverbs 2:21	For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall remain in it.
Proverbs 2:22	But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.
Proverbs 3:1	My son, do not forget my law; But let your heart keep my commandments:
Proverbs 3:2	For length of days, and years of life, And peace, they will add to you.
Proverbs 3:3	Do not let kindness and truth forsake you: Bind them around your neck; Write them on the tablet of your heart:
Proverbs 3:4	So you shall find favor and good understanding In the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:5	Trust in Yehovah with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding:
Proverbs 3:6	In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:7	Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Yehovah, and depart from evil:
Proverbs 3:8	It will be health to your navel, And marrow to your bones.
Proverbs 3:9	Honor Yehovah with your wealth, And with the first-fruits of all your increase:
Proverbs 3:10	So your barns shall be filled with plenty, And your vats shall overflow with new wine.
Proverbs 3:11	My son, do not despise the chastening of Yehovah; Nor be weary of his reproof:
Proverbs 3:12	For whom Yehovah loves he reproves, Even as a father the son in whom he delights.
Proverbs 3:13	Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gets understanding.
Proverbs 3:14	For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, And its profit than fine gold.
Proverbs 3:15	She is more precious than rubies: And none of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
Proverbs 3:16	Length of days is in her right hand; In her left hand are riches and honor.
Proverbs 3:17	Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.
Proverbs 3:18	She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her: And happy is every one who retains her.
Proverbs 3:19	Yehovah by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding he established the heavens.
Proverbs 3:20	By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.
Proverbs 3:21	My son, do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Proverbs 3:22	So they shall be life to your soul, And grace to your neck.
Proverbs 3:23	Then you shall walk in your way securely, And your foot shall not stumble.
Proverbs 3:24	When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: Yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.
Proverbs 3:25	Do not be afraid of sudden fear, Nor of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:
Proverbs 3:26	For Yehovah will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being taken.
Proverbs 3:27	Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do it.
Proverbs 3:28	Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again, And tomorrow I will give; When you have it with you.
Proverbs 3:29	Do not devise evil against your neighbor, Seeing he dwells securely beside you.
Proverbs 3:30	Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm.
Proverbs 3:31	Do not envy the man of violence, And choose none of his ways.
Proverbs 3:32	For the perverse is an abomination to Yehovah; But his friendship is with the upright.
Proverbs 3:33	The curse of Yehovah is in the house of the wicked; But he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
Proverbs 3:34	Surely he scoffs at the scoffers; But he gives grace to the lowly.
Proverbs 3:35	The wise shall inherit glory; But shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Proverbs 4:1	Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:
Proverbs 4:2	For I give you good doctrine; Do not forsake my law.
Proverbs 4:3	For I was a son to my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
Proverbs 4:4	And he taught me, and said to me: Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;
Proverbs 4:5	Get wisdom, get understanding; Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth;
Proverbs 4:6	Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you.
Proverbs 4:7	Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yes, with all your getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4:8	Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you to honor, when you embrace her.
Proverbs 4:9	She will give to your head a garland of grace; A crown of beauty she will deliver to you.
Proverbs 4:10	Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of your life shall be many.
Proverbs 4:11	I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in paths of uprightness.
Proverbs 4:12	When you walk, your steps shall not be hampered; And if you run, you shall not stumble.
Proverbs 4:13	Take firm hold of instruction; do not let her go: Keep her; for she is your life.
Proverbs 4:14	Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil men.
Proverbs 4:15	Avoid it, do not pass by it; Turn from it, and pass on.
Proverbs 4:16	For they do not sleep, unless they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Proverbs 4:17	For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.
Proverbs 4:18	But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shines more and more to the perfect day.
Proverbs 4:19	The way of the wicked is as darkness: They do not know at what they stumble.
Proverbs 4:20	My son, attend to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
Proverbs 4:21	Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart.
Proverbs 4:22	For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 4:23	Keep your heart with all diligence; For out of it are the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:24	Put away from you a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from you.
Proverbs 4:25	Let your eyes look straight ahead, And let your eyelids look straight before you.
Proverbs 4:26	Make level the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.
Proverbs 4:27	Do not turn to the right hand nor to the left: Remove your foot from evil.
Proverbs 5:1	My son, attend to my wisdom; Incline your ear to my understanding:
Proverbs 5:2	That you may preserve discretion, And that your lips may keep knowledge.
Proverbs 5:3	For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
Proverbs 5:4	But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Proverbs 5:5	Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;
Proverbs 5:6	So that she does not find the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she does not know it.
Proverbs 5:7	Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 5:8	Remove your way far from her, And do not come near the door of her house;
Proverbs 5:9	Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel;
Proverbs 5:10	Lest strangers be filled with your strength, And your labors be in the house of an alien,
Proverbs 5:11	And you mourn at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,
Proverbs 5:12	And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;
Proverbs 5:13	Nor have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
Proverbs 5:14	I was almost in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.
Proverbs 5:15	Drink waters out of your own cistern, And running waters out of your own well.
Proverbs 5:16	Should your springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets?
Proverbs 5:17	Let them be for yourself alone, And not for strangers with you.
Proverbs 5:18	Let your fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:19	As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And be always ravished with her love.
Proverbs 5:20	For why should you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?
Proverbs 5:21	For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yehovah; And he makes level all his paths.
Proverbs 5:22	His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
Proverbs 5:23	He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbs 6:1	My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;
Proverbs 6:2	You are snared with the words of your mouth, You are taken with the words of your mouth.
Proverbs 6:3	Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor;
Proverbs 6:4	Do not give sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;
Proverbs 6:5	Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Proverbs 6:6	Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
Proverbs 6:7	Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
Proverbs 6:8	Provides her bread in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.
Proverbs 6:9	How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
Proverbs 6:10	Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
Proverbs 6:11	So your poverty shall come as a robber, And your want as an armed man.
Proverbs 6:12	A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he who walks with a perverse mouth;
Proverbs 6:13	Who winks with his eyes, who speaks with his feet, Who makes signs with his fingers;
Proverbs 6:14	In whose heart is perverseness, Who devises evil continually, Who sows discord.
Proverbs 6:15	Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; In an instant he shall be broken, and that without remedy.
Proverbs 6:16	There are six things which Yehovah hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
Proverbs 6:17	Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
Proverbs 6:18	A heart that devises wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to evil,
Proverbs 6:19	A false witness who utters lies, And he who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6:20	My son, keep the commandment of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother:
Proverbs 6:21	Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
Proverbs 6:22	When you walk, it shall lead you; When you sleep, it shall watch over you; And when you awake, it shall talk with you.
Proverbs 6:23	For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Proverbs 6:24	To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
Proverbs 6:25	Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; Nor let her take you with her eyelids.
Proverbs 6:26	For on account of a prostitute a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunts for the precious life.
Proverbs 6:27	Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
Proverbs 6:28	Or can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
Proverbs 6:29	So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 6:30	Men do not despise a thief, if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry:
Proverbs 6:31	But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the goods of his house.
Proverbs 6:32	He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He who would destroy his own soul does it.
Proverbs 6:33	Wounds and dishonor he shall get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Proverbs 6:34	For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Proverbs 6:35	He will not accept any ransom; Nor will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
Proverbs 7:1	My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with you.
Proverbs 7:2	Keep my commandments and live; And my law as the apple of your eye.
Proverbs 7:3	Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 7:4	Say to wisdom, You are my sister; And call understanding your kinswoman:
Proverbs 7:5	That they may keep you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.
Proverbs 7:6	For at the window of my house I looked out through my lattice;
Proverbs 7:7	And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,
Proverbs 7:8	Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house,
Proverbs 7:9	In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.
Proverbs 7:10	And, behold, a woman met him With the attire of a prostitute, and wily of heart.
Proverbs 7:11	(She is loud and willful; Her feet do not stay in her house:
Proverbs 7:12	Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lies in wait at every corner.)
Proverbs 7:13	So she caught him, and kissed him, And with an impudent face she said to him:
Proverbs 7:14	Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day I have paid my vows.
Proverbs 7:15	Therefore I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
Proverbs 7:16	I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
Proverbs 7:17	I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Proverbs 7:18	Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us delight ourselves with loves.
Proverbs 7:19	For the man is not at home; He has gone on a long journey:
Proverbs 7:20	He has taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.
Proverbs 7:21	With her much fair speech she causes him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forces him along.
Proverbs 7:22	He goes after her immediately, As an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;
Proverbs 7:23	Until an arrow strikes through his liver; As a bird hastens to the snare, And does not know that it is for his life.
Proverbs 7:24	Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, And attend to the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 7:25	Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; Do not go astray in her paths.
Proverbs 7:26	For she has cast down many wounded: Yes, all her slain are a mighty host.
Proverbs 7:27	Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs 8:1	Does not wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice?
Proverbs 8:2	On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she stands;
Proverbs 8:3	Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she cries aloud:
Proverbs 8:4	To you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.
Proverbs 8:5	O you simple, understand prudence; And, you fools, be of an understanding heart.
Proverbs 8:6	Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Proverbs 8:7	For my mouth shall utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Proverbs 8:8	All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
Proverbs 8:9	They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge.
Proverbs 8:10	Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.
Proverbs 8:11	For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Proverbs 8:12	I wisdom have made prudence my dwelling, And find out knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 8:13	The fear of Yehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, I hate.
Proverbs 8:14	Counsel is mine, and sound knowledge: I am understanding; I have might.
Proverbs 8:15	By me kings reign, And princes decree justice.
Proverbs 8:16	By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Proverbs 8:17	I love those who love me; And those who seek me diligently shall find me.
Proverbs 8:18	Riches and honor are with me; Yes, enduring wealth and righteousness.
Proverbs 8:19	My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; And my yield than choice silver.
Proverbs 8:20	I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;
Proverbs 8:21	That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, And that I may fill their treasuries.
Proverbs 8:22	Yehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.
Proverbs 8:23	I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.
Proverbs 8:24	When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Proverbs 8:25	Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;
Proverbs 8:26	While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
Proverbs 8:27	When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle on the face of the deep,
Proverbs 8:28	When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,
Proverbs 8:29	When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;
Proverbs 8:30	Then I was beside him, as a master workman; And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him,
Proverbs 8:31	Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.
Proverbs 8:32	Now therefore, my sons, listen to me; For blessed are those who keep my ways.
Proverbs 8:33	Hear instruction, and be wise, And do not refuse it.
Proverbs 8:34	Blessed is the man who hears me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.
Proverbs 8:35	For whoever finds me finds life, And shall obtain favor from Yehovah.
Proverbs 8:36	But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul: All those who hate me love death.
Proverbs 9:1	Wisdom has built her house; She has hewn out her seven pillars:
Proverbs 9:2	She has killed her beasts; she has mixed her wine; She has also set her table:
Proverbs 9:3	She has sent out her maidens; She cries from the highest places of the city:
Proverbs 9:4	Whoever is simple, let him turn in here: As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
Proverbs 9:5	Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine which I have mixed.
Proverbs 9:6	Leave off, you simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.
Proverbs 9:7	He who corrects a scoffer gets reviling for himself; And he who reproves a wicked man gets himself a blot.
Proverbs 9:8	Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you: Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Proverbs 9:9	Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Proverbs 9:10	The fear of Yehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:11	For by me your days shall be multiplied, And the years of your life shall be increased.
Proverbs 9:12	If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; And if you scoff, you alone shall bear it.
Proverbs 9:13	The foolish woman is loud; She is simple, and knows nothing.
Proverbs 9:14	And she sits at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city,
Proverbs 9:15	To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their ways:
Proverbs 9:16	Whoever is simple, let him turn in here; And as for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
Proverbs 9:17	Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
Proverbs 9:18	But he does not know that the dead are there; That her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
Proverbs 10:1	The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.
Proverbs 10:2	Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivers from death.
Proverbs 10:3	Yehovah will not allow the soul of the righteous to go hungry; But he thrusts away the desire of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:4	He who works with a slack hand becomes poor; But the hand of the diligent makes rich.
Proverbs 10:5	He who gathers in summer is a wise son; But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.
Proverbs 10:6	Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:7	The memory of the righteous is blessed; But the name of the wicked shall rot.
Proverbs 10:8	The wise in heart will receive commandments; But a babbling fool shall fall.
Proverbs 10:9	He who walks uprightly walks securely; But he who perverts his ways shall be found out.
Proverbs 10:10	He who winks with the eye causes sorrow; But a babbling fool shall fall.
Proverbs 10:11	The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:12	Hatred stirs up strife; But love covers all transgressions.
Proverbs 10:13	In the lips of him who has discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.
Proverbs 10:14	Wise men lay up knowledge; But the mouth of the foolish is a ruin at hand.
Proverbs 10:15	The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: The destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Proverbs 10:16	The labor of the righteous tends to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin.
Proverbs 10:17	He who heeds correction is in the way of life; But he who forsakes reproof goes astray.
Proverbs 10:18	He who hides hatred has lying lips; And he who utters a slander is a fool.
Proverbs 10:19	In the multitude of words transgression is not lacking; But he who restrains his lips does wisely.

Proverbs 30:1	The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; the oracle. The man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

Proverbs 30:15	The leech has two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yes, four that do not say, Enough:
Proverbs 30:16	Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that does not say, Enough.
Proverbs 30:17	The eye that mocks at his father, And despises to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.
Proverbs 30:18	There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not know:
Proverbs 30:19	The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
Proverbs 30:20	So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eats, and wipes her mouth, And says, I have done no wickedness.
Proverbs 30:21	For three things the earth trembles, And for four, which it cannot bear:

Proverbs 30:31	The greyhound; the male goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
Proverbs 30:32	If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, Or if you have thought evil, Lay your hand on your mouth.

Proverbs 31:14	She is like the merchant-ships; She brings her bread from far away.
Proverbs 31:15	She rises also while it is yet night, And gives food to her household, And their task to her maidens.
Proverbs 31:16	She considers a field, and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard.
Proverbs 31:17	She girds her loins with strength, And makes strong her arms.
Proverbs 31:18	She perceives that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp does not go out by night.
Proverbs 31:19	She lays her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.
Proverbs 31:20	She stretches out her hand to the poor; Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

Proverbs 31:29	Many daughters have done worthily, But you excel them all.
Proverbs 31:30	Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears Yehovah, she shall be praised.
Proverbs 31:31	Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates.
Ecclesiastes 1:1	The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes 1:2	Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 1:3	What profit has man from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 1:4	One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth abides forever.
Ecclesiastes 1:5	The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to its place where it rises.
Ecclesiastes 1:6	The wind goes toward the south, and turns about to the north; it turns about continually in its course, and the wind returns again to its circuits.
Ecclesiastes 1:7	All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers go, there they go again.
Ecclesiastes 1:8	All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
Ecclesiastes 1:9	What has been is what shall be; and what has been done is what shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:10	Is there a thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.
Ecclesiastes 1:11	There is no remembrance of the former generations; nor shall there be any remembrance of the latter generations that are to come, among those who shall come after.
Ecclesiastes 1:12	I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes 1:13	And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a grievous task that God has given to the sons of men to be exercised with.
Ecclesiastes 1:14	I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:15	What is crooked cannot be made straight; and what is lacking cannot be counted.
Ecclesiastes 1:16	I communed with my own heart, saying, Look, I have acquired great wisdom above all who were before me in Jerusalem; yes, my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
Ecclesiastes 1:17	And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:18	For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 2:1	I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:2	I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What does it accomplish?
Ecclesiastes 2:3	I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart still guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, until I might see what was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.
Ecclesiastes 2:4	I made myself great works; I built myself houses; I planted myself vineyards;
Ecclesiastes 2:5	I made myself gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;
Ecclesiastes 2:6	I made myself pools of water, to water from them the forest where trees were reared;
Ecclesiastes 2:7	I bought male servants and female servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all who were before me in Jerusalem;
Ecclesiastes 2:8	I also gathered for myself silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got myself male singers and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and those of all sorts.
Ecclesiastes 2:9	So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
Ecclesiastes 2:10	And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I did not withhold my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.
Ecclesiastes 2:11	Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:12	And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do who comes after the king? Even what has been done long ago.
Ecclesiastes 2:13	Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.
Ecclesiastes 2:14	The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.
Ecclesiastes 2:15	Then I said in my heart, As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why then was I more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:16	For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance forever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how the wise man dies even as the fool!
Ecclesiastes 2:17	So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 2:18	And I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who shall be after me.
Ecclesiastes 2:19	And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:20	Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:21	For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill; yet to a man who has not labored in it he shall leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Ecclesiastes 2:22	For what has a man from all his labor, and from the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 2:23	For all his days are but sorrows, and his toil is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:24	There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.
Ecclesiastes 2:25	For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?
Ecclesiastes 2:26	For to the man who pleases him God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives toil, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 3:1	For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:2	a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
Ecclesiastes 3:3	a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecclesiastes 3:4	a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecclesiastes 3:5	a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ecclesiastes 3:6	a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecclesiastes 3:7	a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecclesiastes 3:8	a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:9	What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?
Ecclesiastes 3:10	I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised with.
Ecclesiastes 3:11	He has made everything beautiful in its time: also he has set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:12	I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live.
Ecclesiastes 3:13	And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:14	I know that, whatever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:15	What is has been long ago; and what is to be has long ago been: and God seeks again what has passed away.
Ecclesiastes 3:16	And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.
Ecclesiastes 3:17	I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Ecclesiastes 3:18	I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may test them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.
Ecclesiastes 3:19	For what befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yes, they all have one breath; and man has no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 3:20	All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecclesiastes 3:21	Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?
Ecclesiastes 3:22	Therefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?
Ecclesiastes 4:1	Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
Ecclesiastes 4:2	Therefore I praised the dead who have been long dead more than the living who are still alive;
Ecclesiastes 4:3	yes, better than them both I esteemed him who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 4:4	Then I saw all labor and every skillful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:5	The fool folds his hands together, and eats his own flesh.
Ecclesiastes 4:6	Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:7	Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 4:8	There is one who is alone, and he does not have a second; yes, he has neither son nor brother; yet there is no end of all his labor, nor are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, he says, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yes, it is a grievous task.
Ecclesiastes 4:9	Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
Ecclesiastes 4:10	For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and does not have another to lift him up.
Ecclesiastes 4:11	Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?
Ecclesiastes 4:12	And if a man prevails against him who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:13	Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who no longer knows how to receive admonition.
Ecclesiastes 4:14	For out of prison he came forth to be king; yes, even in his kingdom he was born poor.
Ecclesiastes 4:15	I saw all the living who walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, who stood up in his place.
Ecclesiastes 4:16	There was no end of all the people, even of all those over whom he was: yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 5:1	Guard your foot when you go to the house of God; for to draw near to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they do not know that they do evil.
Ecclesiastes 5:2	Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:3	For a dream comes with a multitude of business, and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words.
Ecclesiastes 5:4	When you vow a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools: pay what you vow.
Ecclesiastes 5:5	It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
Ecclesiastes 5:6	Do not allow your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; nor say before the angel, that it was an error: why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
Ecclesiastes 5:7	For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear God.
Ecclesiastes 5:8	If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter: for one higher than the high watches; and there are higher than they.
Ecclesiastes 5:9	Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
Ecclesiastes 5:10	He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 5:11	When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to their owner, except the beholding of them with his eyes?
Ecclesiastes 5:12	The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the fullness of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
Ecclesiastes 5:13	There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by their owner to his hurt:
Ecclesiastes 5:14	and those riches perish by a bad venture; and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:15	As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked he shall go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:16	And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so he shall go: and what profit has he that he labors for the wind?
Ecclesiastes 5:17	All his days also he eats in darkness, and he is greatly vexed, and has sickness and wrath.
Ecclesiastes 5:18	Behold, what I have seen to be good and to be fitting is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him: for this is his portion.
Ecclesiastes 5:19	Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:20	For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart.
Ecclesiastes 6:1	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:
Ecclesiastes 6:2	a man to whom God gives riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner eats it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecclesiastes 6:3	If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:
Ecclesiastes 6:4	for it comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness;
Ecclesiastes 6:5	moreover it has not seen the sun nor known it; this has rest rather than the other:
Ecclesiastes 6:6	yes, though he lives a thousand years twice over, and yet enjoys no good, do not all go to one place?
Ecclesiastes 6:7	All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Ecclesiastes 6:8	For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? Or what has the poor man, who knows how to walk before the living?
Ecclesiastes 6:9	Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Ecclesiastes 6:10	Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; nor can he contend with him who is mightier than he.
Ecclesiastes 6:11	Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
Ecclesiastes 6:12	For who knows what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 7:1	A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one’s birth.
Ecclesiastes 7:2	It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:3	Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made glad.
Ecclesiastes 7:4	The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Ecclesiastes 7:5	It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:6	For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 7:7	Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.
Ecclesiastes 7:8	Better is the end of a thing than its beginning; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:9	Do not be hasty in your spirit to be angry; for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:10	Do not say, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.
Ecclesiastes 7:11	Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yes, it is more excellent for those who see the sun.
Ecclesiastes 7:12	For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellence of knowledge is, that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
Ecclesiastes 7:13	Consider the work of God: for who can make straight what he has made crooked?
Ecclesiastes 7:14	In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him.
Ecclesiastes 7:15	All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.
Ecclesiastes 7:16	Do not be overly righteous; nor make yourself overly wise: why should you destroy yourself?
Ecclesiastes 7:17	Do not be overly wicked, nor be foolish: why should you die before your time?
Ecclesiastes 7:18	It is good that you should take hold of this; yes, also do not withdraw your hand from that: for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.
Ecclesiastes 7:19	Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
Ecclesiastes 7:20	Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, who does good, and does not sin.
Ecclesiastes 7:21	Also do not take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you;
Ecclesiastes 7:22	for often also your own heart knows that you yourself likewise have cursed others.
Ecclesiastes 7:23	All this I have tested in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
Ecclesiastes 7:24	What is, is far off and exceedingly deep; who can find it out?
Ecclesiastes 7:25	I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.
Ecclesiastes 7:26	And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds: whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Ecclesiastes 7:27	Behold, this I have found, says the Preacher, adding one thing to another, to find out the account;
Ecclesiastes 7:28	which my soul still seeks, but I have not found: one man among a thousand I have found; but a woman among all those I have not found.
Ecclesiastes 7:29	Behold, this only I have found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Ecclesiastes 8:1	Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
Ecclesiastes 8:2	I counsel you, Keep the king’s command, and that in regard to the oath of God.
Ecclesiastes 8:3	Do not be hasty to go out of his presence; do not persist in an evil thing: for he does whatever pleases him.
Ecclesiastes 8:4	For the king’s word has power; and who may say to him, What are you doing?
Ecclesiastes 8:5	Whoever keeps the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerns time and judgment:
Ecclesiastes 8:6	for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:
Ecclesiastes 8:7	for he does not know what shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?
Ecclesiastes 8:8	There is no man who has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; nor has he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: nor shall wickedness deliver him who is given to it.
Ecclesiastes 8:9	All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: there is a time in which one man has power over another to his hurt.
Ecclesiastes 8:10	So I saw the wicked buried, and they came to the grave; and those who had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 8:11	Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecclesiastes 8:12	Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and prolongs his days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with those who fear God, who fear before him:
Ecclesiastes 8:13	but it shall not be well with the wicked, nor shall he prolong his days, which are like a shadow; because he does not fear before God.
Ecclesiastes 8:14	There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 8:15	Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 8:16	When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is one who neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes),
Ecclesiastes 8:17	then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yes moreover, though a wise man thinks he knows it, yet he shall not be able to find it.
Ecclesiastes 9:1	For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it is love or hatred, man does not know it; all is before them.
Ecclesiastes 9:2	All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices and to him who does not sacrifice; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he who swears, as he who fears an oath.
Ecclesiastes 9:3	This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Ecclesiastes 9:4	For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecclesiastes 9:5	For the living know that they shall die: but the dead do not know anything, nor do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecclesiastes 9:6	Their love as well as their hatred and their envy has perished long ago; nor do they have any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:7	Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.
Ecclesiastes 9:8	Let your garments be always white; and do not let your head lack oil.
Ecclesiastes 9:9	Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life of vanity, which he has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity: for that is your portion in life, and in your labor in which you labor under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:10	Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.
Ecclesiastes 9:11	I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:12	For man also does not know his time: like the fish that are taken in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.
Ecclesiastes 9:13	I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed great to me:
Ecclesiastes 9:14	There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, and besieged it, and built great siegeworks against it.
Ecclesiastes 9:15	Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Ecclesiastes 9:16	Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
Ecclesiastes 9:17	The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him who rules among fools.
Ecclesiastes 9:18	Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.
Ecclesiastes 10:1	Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
Ecclesiastes 10:2	A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
Ecclesiastes 10:3	Yes also, when the fool walks by the way, his understanding fails him, and he says to everyone that he is a fool.
Ecclesiastes 10:4	If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, do not leave your place; for gentleness allays great offenses.
Ecclesiastes 10:5	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceeds from the ruler:
Ecclesiastes 10:6	folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.
Ecclesiastes 10:7	I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes 10:8	He who digs a pit shall fall into it; and whoever breaks through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
Ecclesiastes 10:9	Whoever quarries stones shall be hurt by them; and he who splits wood is endangered by it.
Ecclesiastes 10:10	If the iron is blunt, and one does not whet the edge, then he must put forth more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Ecclesiastes 10:11	If the serpent bites before it is charmed, then there is no advantage in the charmer.
Ecclesiastes 10:12	The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Ecclesiastes 10:13	The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
Ecclesiastes 10:14	A fool also multiplies words: yet man does not know what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Ecclesiastes 10:15	The labor of fools wearies every one of them; for he does not know how to go to the city.
Ecclesiastes 10:16	Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your princes eat in the morning!
Ecclesiastes 10:17	Happy are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
Ecclesiastes 10:18	By slothfulness the roof sinks in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaks.
Ecclesiastes 10:19	A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes glad the life; and money answers all things.
Ecclesiastes 10:20	Do not revile the king, no, not in your thought; and do not revile the rich in your bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and what has wings shall tell the matter.
Ecclesiastes 11:1	Cast your bread upon the waters; for you shall find it after many days.
Ecclesiastes 11:2	Give a portion to seven, yes, even to eight; for you do not know what evil shall be upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes 11:3	If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.
Ecclesiastes 11:4	He who observes the wind shall not sow; and he who regards the clouds shall not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:5	As you do not know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child; even so you do not know the work of God who does all.
Ecclesiastes 11:6	In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Ecclesiastes 11:7	Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.
Ecclesiastes 11:8	Yes, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that comes is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 11:9	Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Ecclesiastes 11:10	Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, and put away evil from your flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:1	Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
Ecclesiastes 12:2	before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
Ecclesiastes 12:3	in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look out of the windows shall be darkened,
Ecclesiastes 12:4	and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
Ecclesiastes 12:5	yes, they shall be afraid of what is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:
Ecclesiastes 12:6	before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,
Ecclesiastes 12:7	and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:8	Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 12:9	And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Ecclesiastes 12:10	The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and what was written uprightly, even words of truth.
Ecclesiastes 12:11	The words of the wise are like goads; and like nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies, which are given by one shepherd.
Ecclesiastes 12:12	And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecclesiastes 12:13	This is the end of the matter; all has been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:14	For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
Song of Solomon 1:1	The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
Song of Solomon 1:2	Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine.
Song of Solomon 1:3	Your oils have a goodly fragrance; Your name is like oil poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.
Song of Solomon 1:4	Draw me; we will run after you: The king has brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in you; We will make mention of your love more than of wine: Rightly they love you.
Song of Solomon 1:5	I am black, but lovely, O you daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.
Song of Solomon 1:6	Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were incensed against me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; But my own vineyard I have not kept.
Song of Solomon 1:7	Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon: For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?
Song of Solomon 1:8	If you do not know, O you fair among women, Go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
Song of Solomon 1:9	I have compared you, O my love, To a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
Song of Solomon 1:10	Your cheeks are lovely with plaits of hair, Your neck with strings of jewels.
Song of Solomon 1:11	We will make you plaits of gold With studs of silver.
Song of Solomon 1:12	While the king sat at his table, My spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
Song of Solomon 1:13	My beloved is to me as a bundle of myrrh, That lies between my breasts.
Song of Solomon 1:14	My beloved is to me as a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of En-gedi.
Song of Solomon 1:15	Behold, you are fair, my love; Behold, you are fair; Your eyes are like doves.
Song of Solomon 1:16	Behold, you are fair, my beloved, yes, pleasant: Also our couch is green.
Song of Solomon 1:17	The beams of our house are cedars, And our rafters are firs.
Song of Solomon 2:1	I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.
Song of Solomon 2:2	As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon 2:3	Like the apple tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Song of Solomon 2:4	He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.
Song of Solomon 2:5	Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.
Song of Solomon 2:6	His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
Song of Solomon 2:7	I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the does of the field, That you not stir up, nor awaken my love, Until he pleases.
Song of Solomon 2:8	The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
Song of Solomon 2:9	My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag: Behold, he stands behind our wall; He looks in at the windows; He glances through the lattice.
Song of Solomon 2:10	My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Song of Solomon 2:11	For, look, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;
Song of Solomon 2:12	The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land;
Song of Solomon 2:13	The fig tree ripens her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Song of Solomon 2:14	O my dove, who are in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see your countenance, Let me hear your voice; For sweet is your voice, and your countenance is lovely.
Song of Solomon 2:15	Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.
Song of Solomon 2:16	My beloved is mine, and I am his: He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 2:17	Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether.
Song of Solomon 3:1	By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I did not find him.
Song of Solomon 3:2	I said, I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I did not find him.
Song of Solomon 3:3	The watchmen who go about the city found me; To whom I said, Have you seen him whom my soul loves?
Song of Solomon 3:4	It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother’s house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.
Song of Solomon 3:5	I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the does of the field, That you not stir up, nor awaken my love, Until he pleases.
Song of Solomon 3:6	Who is this that comes up from the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all powders of the merchant?
Song of Solomon 3:7	Behold, it is the litter of Solomon; Sixty mighty men are around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.
Song of Solomon 3:8	They all handle the sword, and are expert in war: Every man has his sword upon his thigh, Because of fear in the night.
Song of Solomon 3:9	King Solomon made himself a palanquin Of the wood of Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 3:10	He made its pillars of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst being paved with love, From the daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon 3:11	Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon, With the crown with which his mother has crowned him In the day of his wedding, And in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Song of Solomon 4:1	Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead.
Song of Solomon 4:2	Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that are newly shorn, Which have come up from the washing, Of which every one has twins, And none is bereaved among them.
Song of Solomon 4:3	Your lips are like a thread of scarlet, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Behind your veil.
Song of Solomon 4:4	Your neck is like the tower of David Built for an armory, On which there hang a thousand shields, All the shields of the mighty men.
Song of Solomon 4:5	Your two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 4:6	Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.
Song of Solomon 4:7	You are all fair, my love; And there is no spot in you.
Song of Solomon 4:8	Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, With me from Lebanon: Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions’ dens, From the mountains of the leopards.
Song of Solomon 4:9	You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, With one chain of your neck.
Song of Solomon 4:10	How fair is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine! And the fragrance of your oils than all kinds of spices!
Song of Solomon 4:11	Your lips, O my bride, drip like the honeycomb: Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 4:12	A garden shut up is my sister, my bride; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
Song of Solomon 4:13	Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants,
Song of Solomon 4:14	Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
Song of Solomon 4:15	You are a fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And flowing streams from Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 4:16	Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; Blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat his precious fruits.
Song of Solomon 5:1	I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yes, drink abundantly, O beloved.
Song of Solomon 5:2	I was asleep, but my heart was awake: It is the voice of my beloved who knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.
Song of Solomon 5:3	I have taken off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
Song of Solomon 5:4	My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was moved for him.
Song of Solomon 5:5	I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dripped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.
Song of Solomon 5:6	I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Song of Solomon 5:7	The watchmen who go about the city found me, They struck me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me.
Song of Solomon 5:8	I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him, that I am sick from love.
Song of Solomon 5:9	What is your beloved more than another beloved, O you fair among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, That you so adjure us?
Song of Solomon 5:10	My beloved is white and ruddy, The foremost among ten thousand.
Song of Solomon 5:11	His head is like the finest gold; His locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
Song of Solomon 5:12	His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, Washed with milk, and fitly set.
Song of Solomon 5:13	His cheeks are like a bed of spices, Like banks of sweet herbs: His lips are like lilies, dripping liquid myrrh.
Song of Solomon 5:14	His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl: His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
Song of Solomon 5:15	His legs are like pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Song of Solomon 5:16	His mouth is most sweet; Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon 6:1	Where has your beloved gone, O you fair among women? Where has your beloved turned, That we may seek him with you?
Song of Solomon 6:2	My beloved has gone down to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Song of Solomon 6:3	I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 6:4	You are fair, O my love, as Tirzah, Lovely as Jerusalem, Terrible as an army with banners.
Song of Solomon 6:5	Turn away your eyes from me, For they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats, That lie along the side of Gilead.
Song of Solomon 6:6	Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, Which have come up from the washing; Of which every one has twins, And none is bereaved among them.
Song of Solomon 6:7	Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Behind your veil.
Song of Solomon 6:8	There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.
Song of Solomon 6:9	My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yes, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Song of Solomon 6:10	Who is she who looks forth like the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Terrible as an army with banners?
Song of Solomon 6:11	I went down into the garden of nuts, To see the green plants of the valley, To see whether the vine budded, And the pomegranates were in flower.
Song of Solomon 6:12	Before I was aware, my soul set me Among the chariots of my princely people.
Song of Solomon 6:13	Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon you. Why will you look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?
Song of Solomon 7:1	How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skillful workman.
Song of Solomon 7:2	Your body is like a round goblet, In which no mixed wine is lacking: Your waist is like a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.
Song of Solomon 7:3	Your two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a gazelle.
Song of Solomon 7:4	Your neck is like the tower of ivory; Your eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus.
Song of Solomon 7:5	Your head upon you is like Carmel, And the hair of your head like purple; The king is held captive in its tresses.
Song of Solomon 7:6	How fair and how pleasant you are, O love, for delights!
Song of Solomon 7:7	This your stature is like a palm tree, And your breasts like its clusters.
Song of Solomon 7:8	I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches: Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, And the smell of your breath like apples,
Song of Solomon 7:9	And your mouth like the best wine, That goes down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
Song of Solomon 7:10	I am my beloved’s; And his desire is toward me.
Song of Solomon 7:11	Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.
Song of Solomon 7:12	Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded, And its blossom is open, And the pomegranates are in flower: There I will give you my love.
Song of Solomon 7:13	The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
Song of Solomon 8:1	Oh that you were like my brother, Who nursed at the breasts of my mother! When I should find you outside, I would kiss you; Yes, and none would despise me.
Song of Solomon 8:2	I would lead you, and bring you into my mother’s house, Who would instruct me; I would cause you to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.
Song of Solomon 8:3	His left hand should be under my head, And his right hand should embrace me.
Song of Solomon 8:4	I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, That you not stir up, nor awaken my love, Until he pleases.
Song of Solomon 8:5	Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you: There your mother was in labor with you, There she who brought you forth was in labor.
Song of Solomon 8:6	Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, A very flame of Yehovah.
Song of Solomon 8:7	Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can floods drown it: If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, He would be utterly despised.
Song of Solomon 8:8	We have a little sister, And she has no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?
Song of Solomon 8:9	If she is a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she is a door, We will enclose her with boards of cedar.
Song of Solomon 8:10	I am a wall, and my breasts like its towers Then I was in his eyes as one who found peace.
Song of Solomon 8:11	Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He let out the vineyard to keepers; Each one for its fruit was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
Song of Solomon 8:12	My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: You, O Solomon, shall have the thousand, And those who keep its fruit two hundred.
Song of Solomon 8:13	You who dwell in the gardens, The companions listen for your voice: Let me hear it.
Song of Solomon 8:14	Make haste, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag Upon the mountains of spices.
Isaiah 1:1	The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Isaiah 5:3	And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Isaiah 5:4	What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? why, when I looked for it to bring forth grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5	And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah 5:6	and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah 5:7	For the vineyard of Yehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.
Isaiah 5:8	Woe to those who join house to house, who lay field to field, till there is no room, and you are made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

Isaiah 5:18	Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;
Isaiah 5:19	who say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it!
Isaiah 5:20	Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:21	Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Isaiah 5:23	who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isaiah 5:24	Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 5:25	Therefore the anger of Yehovah is kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has struck them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets.

Isaiah 5:27	None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; nor shall the belt of their loins be loosed, nor the strap of their sandals be broken:
Isaiah 5:28	whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs shall be counted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:
Isaiah 5:29	their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yes, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.
Isaiah 5:30	And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress; and the light is darkened in its clouds.
Isaiah 6:1	In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
Isaiah 6:2	Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Isaiah 6:3	And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Yehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah 6:4	And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isaiah 6:5	Then I said, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yehovah of hosts.
Isaiah 6:6	Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Isaiah 6:7	and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Look, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.
Isaiah 6:8	And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:9	And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear indeed, but do not understand; and see indeed, but do not perceive.
Isaiah 6:10	Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.
Isaiah 6:11	Then I said, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
Isaiah 6:12	and Yehovah has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
Isaiah 6:13	And if there is yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stump remains, when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stump.
Isaiah 7:1	And it happened in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Isaiah 7:2	And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind.
Isaiah 7:3	Then Yehovah said to Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, you, and Shear-jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller’s field;
Isaiah 7:4	and say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear, nor let your heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
Isaiah 7:5	Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against you, saying,
Isaiah 7:6	Let us go up against Judah, and terrify it, and let us make a breach in it for ourselves, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;
Isaiah 7:7	thus says the Lord Yehovah, It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.
Isaiah 7:8	For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people:
Isaiah 7:9	and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.
Isaiah 7:10	And Yehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,
Isaiah 7:11	Ask a sign of Yehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
Isaiah 7:12	But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I test Yehovah.
Isaiah 7:13	And he said, Hear now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that you will weary my God also?

Isaiah 7:25	And all the hills that were dug with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.
Isaiah 8:1	And Yehovah said to me, Take a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
Isaiah 8:2	and I will take to myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
Isaiah 8:3	And I went to the prophetess; and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Yehovah said to me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Isaiah 8:4	For before the child knows how to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.
Isaiah 8:5	And Yehovah spoke to me yet again, saying,
Isaiah 8:6	Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
Isaiah 8:7	now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;
Isaiah 8:8	and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.
Isaiah 8:9	Make an uproar, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces.
Isaiah 8:10	Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Isaiah 8:11	For Yehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
Isaiah 8:12	Do not say, A conspiracy, concerning all that this people shall call, A conspiracy; nor fear their fear, nor be in dread of it.
Isaiah 8:13	Yehovah of hosts, him shall you sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Isaiah 8:14	And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 8:15	And many shall stumble on it, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Isaiah 8:16	Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Isaiah 8:17	And I will wait for Yehovah, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Isaiah 8:18	Behold, I and the children whom Yehovah has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yehovah of hosts, who dwells in mount Zion.

Isaiah 8:20	To the law and to the testimony! if they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
Isaiah 8:21	And they shall pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they are hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:
Isaiah 8:22	and they shall look to the earth, and, behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness they shall be driven away.
Isaiah 9:1	But there shall be no gloom to her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

Isaiah 9:7	Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth even forever. The zeal of Yehovah of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:8	The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.
Isaiah 9:9	And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Isaiah 9:10	The bricks have fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycamores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.
Isaiah 9:11	Therefore Yehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
Isaiah 9:12	the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 9:13	Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, nor have they sought Yehovah of hosts.
Isaiah 9:14	Therefore Yehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day.
Isaiah 9:15	The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
Isaiah 9:16	For those who lead this people cause them to err; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Isaiah 9:17	Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Isaiah 9:20	And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm:
Isaiah 9:21	Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 10:1	Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write perverseness;
Isaiah 10:2	to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
Isaiah 10:3	And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from afar? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?

Isaiah 28:3	The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:
Isaiah 28:4	and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which, when he who looks upon it sees it, he eats it up while it is yet in his hand.
Isaiah 28:5	In that day Yehovah of hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people;

Isaiah 28:12	to whom he said, This is the rest, give rest to him who is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Isaiah 28:13	Therefore the word of Yehovah shall be to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Isaiah 28:14	Therefore hear the word of Yehovah, you scoffers, who rule this people that is in Jerusalem:
Isaiah 28:15	Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we are in agreement; when the overflowing scourge passes through, it shall not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves:
Isaiah 28:16	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he who believes shall not be in haste.
Isaiah 28:17	And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
Isaiah 28:18	And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge passes through, then you shall be trodden down by it.
Isaiah 28:19	As often as it passes through, it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nothing but terror to understand the message.

Isaiah 28:24	Does he who plows to sow plow continually? does he continually open and harrow his ground?
Isaiah 28:25	When he has leveled its surface, does he not cast abroad the dill, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt at its border?
Isaiah 28:26	For his God instructs him rightly, and teaches him.
Isaiah 28:27	For the dill is not threshed with a sharp threshing instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the dill is beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
Isaiah 28:28	Bread grain is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he does not grind it.
Isaiah 28:29	This also comes forth from Yehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
Isaiah 29:1	Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add year to year; let the feasts come round:

Isaiah 29:8	And it shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, who fight against mount Zion.
Isaiah 29:9	Wait and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Isaiah 29:10	For Yehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, he has covered.
Isaiah 29:11	And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you; and he says, I cannot, for it is sealed:
Isaiah 29:12	and the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you; and he says, I am not learned.
Isaiah 29:13	And the Lord said, Because this people draw near to me, and with their mouth and with their lips honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught them;
Isaiah 29:14	therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.
Isaiah 29:15	Woe to those who hide their counsel deep from Yehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
Isaiah 29:16	You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of him who made it, He did not make me; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
Isaiah 29:17	Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
Isaiah 29:18	And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Isaiah 29:19	The meek also shall increase their joy in Yehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 29:20	For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who watch for iniquity are cut off;
Isaiah 29:21	who make a man an offender in his cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.
Isaiah 29:22	Therefore thus says Yehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now grow pale.

Isaiah 29:24	Those also who err in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmur shall receive instruction.
Isaiah 30:1	Woe to the rebellious children, says Yehovah, who take counsel, but not of me; and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
Isaiah 30:2	who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked of my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
Isaiah 30:3	Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Isaiah 30:4	For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
Isaiah 30:5	They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Isaiah 30:6	The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
Isaiah 30:7	For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose: therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
Isaiah 30:8	Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Isaiah 30:9	For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of Yehovah;
Isaiah 30:10	who say to the seers, Do not see; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
Isaiah 30:11	get out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Isaiah 30:12	Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;
Isaiah 30:13	therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
Isaiah 30:14	And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among its pieces a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
Isaiah 30:15	For thus said the Lord Yehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And you would not:
Isaiah 30:16	but you said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore you shall flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
Isaiah 30:17	One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you shall flee: till you are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as a banner on a hill.
Isaiah 30:18	And therefore Yehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Yehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
Isaiah 30:19	For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; he will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he hears, he will answer you.
Isaiah 30:20	And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers;
Isaiah 30:21	and your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it; when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
Isaiah 30:22	And you shall defile the overlaying of your graven images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as an unclean thing; you shall say to it, Get away from here.
Isaiah 30:23	And he will give the rain for your seed, with which you shall sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures;
Isaiah 30:24	the oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Isaiah 30:25	And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Isaiah 30:26	Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Yehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
Isaiah 30:27	Behold, the name of Yehovah comes from afar, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;
Isaiah 30:28	and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
Isaiah 30:29	You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Yehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Isaiah 30:30	And Yehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.
Isaiah 30:31	For through the voice of Yehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed; with his rod he will strike him.
Isaiah 30:32	And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Yehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourines and harps; and in battles with the brandishing of his arm he will fight with them.
Isaiah 30:33	For a Topheth is prepared of old; yes, for the king it is made ready; he has made it deep and large; its pile is fire and much wood; the breath of Yehovah, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it.
Isaiah 31:1	Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek Yehovah!
Isaiah 31:2	Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
Isaiah 31:3	Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Yehovah stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Isaiah 31:4	For thus says Yehovah to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise: so Yehovah of hosts will come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon its hill.
Isaiah 31:5	As birds hovering, so Yehovah of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will pass over and preserve it.
Isaiah 31:6	Turn to him from whom you have deeply revolted, O children of Israel.

Isaiah 31:8	And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to forced labor.
Isaiah 31:9	And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the banner, says Yehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 32:1	Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
Isaiah 32:2	And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a shelter from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
Isaiah 32:3	And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall listen.
Isaiah 32:4	And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Isaiah 32:5	The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be bountiful.
Isaiah 32:6	For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profaneness, and to utter error against Yehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Isaiah 32:7	And the instruments of the scoundrel are evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
Isaiah 32:8	But the noble devises noble things; and in noble things he shall continue.
Isaiah 32:9	Rise up, you women who are at ease, and hear my voice; you careless daughters, give ear to my speech.

Isaiah 32:12	They shall beat upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Isaiah 32:13	Upon the land of my people thorns and briers shall come up; yes, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
Isaiah 32:14	For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
Isaiah 32:15	until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is regarded as a forest.
Isaiah 32:16	Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
Isaiah 32:17	And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
Isaiah 32:18	And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
Isaiah 32:19	But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.
Isaiah 32:20	Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send forth the feet of the ox and the donkey.
Isaiah 33:1	Woe to you who destroy, and you were not destroyed; and who deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with you! When you have ceased to destroy, you shall be destroyed; and when you have made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.

Isaiah 33:9	The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is confounded and withers away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Isaiah 33:10	Now I will arise, says Yehovah; now I will lift myself up; now I will be exalted.
Isaiah 33:11	You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
Isaiah 33:12	And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
Isaiah 33:13	Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.
Isaiah 33:14	The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isaiah 33:15	He who walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil:
Isaiah 33:16	He shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the fortresses of rocks; his bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isaiah 33:17	Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reaches far.
Isaiah 33:18	Your heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed the tribute? where is he who counted the towers?
Isaiah 33:19	You shall not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you cannot comprehend, of a strange tongue that you cannot understand.
Isaiah 33:20	Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn feasts: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, whose stakes shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of its cords be broken.
Isaiah 33:21	But there Yehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars shall go, nor shall a stately ship pass by.
Isaiah 33:22	For Yehovah is our judge, Yehovah is our lawgiver, Yehovah is our king; he will save us.
Isaiah 33:23	Your rigging is loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then the prey of a great spoil was divided; the lame took the prey.
Isaiah 33:24	And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people who dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isaiah 34:1	Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples: let the earth hear, and its fullness; the world, and all things that come forth from it.
Isaiah 34:2	For Yehovah has indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter.

Isaiah 34:5	For my sword has drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Isaiah 34:6	The sword of Yehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Isaiah 34:7	And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls: and their land shall be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

Isaiah 34:11	But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell in it: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness.
Isaiah 34:12	They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
Isaiah 34:13	And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

Isaiah 34:15	There the dart-snake shall make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shade; yes, there the kites shall be gathered, each one with her mate.

Isaiah 35:3	Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

Isaiah 35:7	And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isaiah 35:8	And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, even fools, shall not err in it.
Isaiah 35:9	No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
Isaiah 35:10	and the ransomed of Yehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah 36:1	Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Isaiah 36:2	And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the fuller’s field.
Isaiah 36:3	Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to him.
Isaiah 36:4	And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?
Isaiah 36:5	I say, your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words: now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Isaiah 36:6	Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
Isaiah 36:7	But if you say to me, We trust in Yehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar?
Isaiah 36:8	Now therefore, I pray you, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders upon them.
Isaiah 36:9	How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Isaiah 36:10	And have I now come up without Yehovah against this land to destroy it? Yehovah said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Isaiah 36:11	Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray you, to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and do not speak to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
Isaiah 36:12	But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? has he not sent me to the men who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?
Isaiah 36:13	Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Isaiah 36:14	Thus says the king, Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:
Isaiah 36:15	nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Yehovah, saying, Yehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isaiah 36:16	Do not listen to Hezekiah: for thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;
Isaiah 36:17	until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Isaiah 36:18	Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Yehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Isaiah 36:19	Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Isaiah 36:20	Who are they among all the gods of these countries, who have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Isaiah 36:21	But they held their peace, and did not answer him a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Do not answer him.
Isaiah 36:22	Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Isaiah 37:1	And it happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yehovah.
Isaiah 37:2	And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Isaiah 37:3	And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of disgrace; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Isaiah 37:4	It may be Yehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yehovah your God has heard: therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.
Isaiah 37:5	So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Isaiah 37:6	And Isaiah said to them, Thus you shall say to your master, Thus says Yehovah, Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isaiah 37:7	Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isaiah 37:8	So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Isaiah 37:9	And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come out to fight against you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Isaiah 37:10	Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isaiah 37:11	Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shall you be delivered?
Isaiah 37:12	Have the gods of the nations delivered them, whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
Isaiah 37:13	Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Isaiah 37:14	And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of Yehovah, and spread it before Yehovah.
Isaiah 37:15	And Hezekiah prayed to Yehovah, saying,
Isaiah 37:16	O Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
Isaiah 37:17	Incline your ear, O Yehovah, and hear; open your eyes, O Yehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
Isaiah 37:18	Truly, Yehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
Isaiah 37:19	and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
Isaiah 37:20	Now therefore, O Yehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yehovah, even you only.
Isaiah 37:21	Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Isaiah 37:22	this is the word which Yehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Isaiah 37:23	Whom have you defied and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 37:24	By your servants you have defied the Lord, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir-trees; and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field;
Isaiah 37:25	I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
Isaiah 37:26	Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
Isaiah 37:27	Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of grain before it is grown up.
Isaiah 37:28	But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.
Isaiah 37:29	Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
Isaiah 37:30	And this shall be the sign to you: you shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
Isaiah 37:31	And the remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Isaiah 37:32	For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Yehovah of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 37:33	Therefore thus says Yehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
Isaiah 37:34	By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 37:35	For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
Isaiah 37:36	And the angel of Yehovah went forth, and struck in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
Isaiah 37:37	So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isaiah 37:38	And it happened, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place.
Isaiah 38:1	In those days Hezekiah was sick to death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Yehovah, Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.
Isaiah 38:2	Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yehovah,
Isaiah 38:3	and said, Remember now, O Yehovah, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Isaiah 38:4	Then the word of Yehovah came to Isaiah, saying,
Isaiah 38:5	Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus says Yehovah, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will add to your days fifteen years.
Isaiah 38:6	And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city.
Isaiah 38:7	And this shall be the sign to you from Yehovah, that Yehovah will do this thing that he has spoken:
Isaiah 38:8	behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which has gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial on which it had gone down.
Isaiah 38:9	The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered from his sickness.
Isaiah 38:10	I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest of my years.
Isaiah 38:11	I said, I shall not see Yehovah, even Yehovah in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
Isaiah 38:12	My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tent: I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom: From day even to night you will make an end of me.
Isaiah 38:13	I quieted myself until morning; as a lion, so he breaks all my bones: From day even to night you will make an end of me.
Isaiah 38:14	Like a swallow or a crane, so I chattered; I moaned as a dove; my eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed, be my surety.
Isaiah 38:15	What shall I say? he has both spoken to me, and himself has done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
Isaiah 38:16	O Lord, by these things men live; And wholly in them is the life of my spirit: Therefore restore me, and make me live.
Isaiah 38:17	Behold, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness: But you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; For you have cast all my sins behind your back.
Isaiah 38:18	For Sheol cannot praise you, death cannot celebrate you: Those who go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth.

Isaiah 39:2	And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

Isaiah 40:6	The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all its goodliness is as the flower of the field.

Isaiah 40:13	Who has directed the Spirit of Yehovah, or as his counselor has taught him?
Isaiah 40:14	With whom did he take counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?

Isaiah 42:6	I, Yehovah, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Isaiah 43:8	Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
Isaiah 43:9	Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Isaiah 43:10	You are my witnesses, says Yehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, nor shall there be after me.
Isaiah 43:11	I, even I, am Yehovah; and besides me there is no savior.
Isaiah 43:12	I have declared, and I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says Yehovah, and I am God.

Isaiah 43:18	Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.

Isaiah 44:3	For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your offspring:
Isaiah 44:4	and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Isaiah 44:5	One shall say, I am Yehovah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand to Yehovah, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Isaiah 44:9	Those who fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and the things that they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses neither see nor know: that they may be put to shame.

Isaiah 46:4	and even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
Isaiah 46:5	To whom will you liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Isaiah 46:6	Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god; they fall down, yes, they bow down.
Isaiah 46:7	They bear it upon the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands, from its place it shall not move: yes, one may cry to it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Isaiah 46:8	Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O you transgressors.
Isaiah 46:9	Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me;
Isaiah 46:10	declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;
Isaiah 46:11	calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yes, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
Isaiah 46:12	Listen to me, you stubborn of heart, who are far from righteousness:
Isaiah 46:13	I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not delay; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Isaiah 47:1	Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
Isaiah 47:2	Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
Isaiah 47:3	Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
Isaiah 47:4	Our Redeemer, Yehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 47:5	Sit silent, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
Isaiah 47:6	I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you showed them no mercy; upon the aged you have very heavily laid your yoke.
Isaiah 47:7	And you said, I shall be mistress forever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember their latter end.
Isaiah 47:8	Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children:
Isaiah 47:9	but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure they shall come upon you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.
Isaiah 47:10	For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, None sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
Isaiah 47:11	Therefore evil shall come upon you; you shall not know its dawning: and disaster shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you do not know.
Isaiah 47:12	Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you shall be able to profit, perhaps you may prevail.
Isaiah 47:13	You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly forecasters, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come upon you.
Isaiah 47:14	Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
Isaiah 47:15	Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander each one to his quarter; there shall be none to save you.
Isaiah 48:1	Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Yehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness
Isaiah 48:2	(for they call themselves of the holy city, and lean upon the God of Israel; Yehovah of hosts is his name):
Isaiah 48:3	I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they came to pass.
Isaiah 48:4	Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
Isaiah 48:5	therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.
Isaiah 48:6	You have heard it; behold all this; and you, will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
Isaiah 48:7	They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.
Isaiah 48:8	Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
Isaiah 48:9	For my name’s sake I will defer my anger, and for my praise I will restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off.
Isaiah 48:10	Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Isaiah 48:11	For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory I will not give to another.
Isaiah 48:12	Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isaiah 48:13	Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.
Isaiah 48:14	Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom Yehovah loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Isaiah 48:15	I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Isaiah 48:16	Come near to me, hear this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there I am: and now the Lord Yehovah has sent me, and his Spirit.
Isaiah 48:17	Thus says Yehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Yehovah your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
Isaiah 48:18	Oh that you had listened to my commandments! then your peace would have been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Isaiah 48:19	your seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Isaiah 48:20	Go forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say, Yehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob.
Isaiah 48:21	And they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Isaiah 48:22	There is no peace, says Yehovah, to the wicked.
Isaiah 49:1	Listen, O coastlands, to me; and give heed, you peoples, from afar: Yehovah has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he has made mention of my name:
Isaiah 49:2	and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he has hidden me: and he has made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he has kept me close:
Isaiah 49:3	and he said to me, You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Isaiah 49:4	But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with Yehovah, and my recompense with my God.
Isaiah 49:5	And now says Yehovah who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Yehovah, and my God has become my strength);
Isaiah 49:6	yes, he says, It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.
Isaiah 49:7	Thus says Yehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall bow down; because of Yehovah who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.
Isaiah 49:8	Thus says Yehovah, In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;
Isaiah 49:9	saying to those who are bound, Go forth; to those who are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
Isaiah 49:10	They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
Isaiah 49:11	And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Isaiah 49:12	Look, these shall come from afar; and, look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Isaiah 49:13	Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Yehovah has comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted.
Isaiah 49:14	But Zion said, Yehovah has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.
Isaiah 49:15	Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Isaiah 49:16	Behold, I have engraved you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Isaiah 49:17	Your children make haste; your destroyers and those who made you waste shall go forth from you.
Isaiah 49:18	Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, says Yehovah, you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and gird yourself with them, like a bride.
Isaiah 49:19	For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too narrow for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
Isaiah 49:20	The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
Isaiah 49:21	Then you shall say in your heart, Who has fathered these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?
Isaiah 49:22	Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
Isaiah 49:23	And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Yehovah; and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame.
Isaiah 49:24	Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?
Isaiah 49:25	But thus says Yehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
Isaiah 49:26	And I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Isaiah 50:1	Thus says Yehovah, Where is the certificate of your mother’s divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities you were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was put away.
Isaiah 50:2	Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.
Isaiah 50:3	I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
Isaiah 50:4	The Lord Yehovah has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
Isaiah 50:5	The Lord Yehovah has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backward.
Isaiah 50:6	I gave my back to the strikers, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I did not hide my face from shame and spitting.
Isaiah 50:7	For the Lord Yehovah will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
Isaiah 50:8	He who justifies me is near; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is my adversary? let him come near to me.
Isaiah 50:9	Behold, the Lord Yehovah will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? behold, they all shall grow old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Isaiah 50:10	Who is among you who fears Yehovah, who obeys the voice of his servant? he who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in the name of Yehovah, and rely upon his God.
Isaiah 50:11	Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that you have kindled. This you shall have from my hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.
Isaiah 51:1	Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yehovah: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
Isaiah 51:2	Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
Isaiah 51:3	For Yehovah has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yehovah; joy and gladness shall be found in her, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Isaiah 51:4	Attend to me, O my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
Isaiah 51:5	My righteousness is near, my salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the coastlands shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.
Isaiah 51:6	Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment; and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isaiah 51:7	Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; do not fear the reproach of men, nor be dismayed at their revilings.
Isaiah 51:8	For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.
Isaiah 51:9	Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Yehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
Isaiah 51:10	Is it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Isaiah 51:11	And the ransomed of Yehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah 51:12	I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
Isaiah 51:13	and have forgotten Yehovah your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Isaiah 51:14	The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
Isaiah 51:15	For I am Yehovah your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Yehovah of hosts is his name.
Isaiah 51:16	And I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are my people.
Isaiah 51:17	Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of Yehovah the cup of his wrath; you have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Isaiah 51:18	There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons that she has brought up.
Isaiah 51:19	These two things have befallen you, who shall bemoan you? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort you?
Isaiah 51:20	Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Yehovah, the rebuke of your God.
Isaiah 51:21	Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunk, but not with wine:
Isaiah 51:22	Thus says your Lord Yehovah, and your God who pleads the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
Isaiah 51:23	and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
Isaiah 52:1	Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no more come into you.
Isaiah 52:2	Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit on your throne, O Jerusalem: loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Isaiah 52:3	For thus says Yehovah, You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money.
Isaiah 52:4	For thus says the Lord Yehovah, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
Isaiah 52:5	Now therefore, what am I doing here, says Yehovah, seeing that my people is taken away for nothing? those who rule over them howl, says Yehovah, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.
Isaiah 52:6	Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks; behold, it is I.
Isaiah 52:7	How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

Isaiah 52:10	Yehovah has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Isaiah 52:11	Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yehovah.
Isaiah 52:12	For you shall not go out in haste, nor shall you go by flight: for Yehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 52:13	Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Isaiah 52:14	Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Isaiah 52:15	so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them they shall see; and that which they had not heard they shall understand.
Isaiah 53:1	Who has believed our message? and to whom has the arm of Yehovah been revealed?
Isaiah 53:2	For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor majesty; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Isaiah 53:3	He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we did not esteem him.
Isaiah 53:4	Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5	But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:6	All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yehovah has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:7	He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Isaiah 53:8	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 land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?
Isaiah 53:9	And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Isaiah 53:10	Yet it pleased Yehovah to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yehovah shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:11	He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself my righteous servant shall justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Isaiah 53:12	Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 54:1	Sing, O barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who were not in labor with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 54:2	Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; do not hold back: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
Isaiah 54:3	For you shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.
Isaiah 54:4	Do not fear; for you shall not be ashamed: nor be confounded; for you shall not be put to shame: for you shall forget the shame of your youth; and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.
Isaiah 54:5	For your Maker is your husband; Yehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he shall be called the God of the whole earth.
Isaiah 54:6	For Yehovah has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, says your God.
Isaiah 54:7	For a small moment I have forsaken you; but with great mercies I will gather you.
Isaiah 54:8	In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting lovingkindness I will have mercy on you, says Yehovah your Redeemer.
Isaiah 54:9	For this is as the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
Isaiah 54:10	For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from you, nor shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yehovah who has mercy on you.
Isaiah 54:11	O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in fair colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Isaiah 54:12	And I will make your pinnacles of rubies, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your border of precious stones.
Isaiah 54:13	And all your children shall be taught by Yehovah; and great shall be the peace of your children.
Isaiah 54:14	In righteousness you shall be established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Isaiah 54:15	Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you.
Isaiah 54:16	Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
Isaiah 54:17	No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yehovah, and their righteousness which is from me, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 55:1	Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money; come, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isaiah 55:2	Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which does not satisfy? listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah 55:3	Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Isaiah 55:4	Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
Isaiah 55:5	Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know; and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of Yehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
Isaiah 55:6	Seek Yehovah while he may be found; call upon him while he is near:
Isaiah 55:7	let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:8	For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 55:9	For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:10	For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
Isaiah 55:11	so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:12	For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:13	Instead of the thorn the fir-tree shall come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle-tree shall come up: and it shall be to Yehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 56:1	Thus says Yehovah, Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Isaiah 56:2	Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
Isaiah 56:3	Nor let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Yehovah, speak, saying, Yehovah will surely separate me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Isaiah 56:4	For thus says Yehovah of the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
Isaiah 56:5	To them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah 56:6	Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yehovah, to minister to him, and to love the name of Yehovah, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant;
Isaiah 56:7	even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Isaiah 56:8	The Lord Yehovah, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered.
Isaiah 56:9	All you beasts of the field, come to devour, yes, all you beasts in the forest.

Isaiah 56:11	Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds who cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
Isaiah 56:12	Come, they say, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, a day great beyond measure.
Isaiah 57:1	The righteous perishes, and no man lays it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Isaiah 57:2	He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
Isaiah 57:3	But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the prostitute.
Isaiah 57:4	Against whom do you sport yourselves? against whom do you open wide your mouth, and put out the tongue? are you not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Isaiah 57:5	you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Isaiah 57:6	Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink-offering, you have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
Isaiah 57:7	Upon a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.
Isaiah 57:8	And behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered yourself to another than me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made a covenant for yourself with them: you loved their bed where you saw it.
Isaiah 57:9	And you went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol.
Isaiah 57:10	You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you did not say, It is in vain: you found a reviving of your strength; therefore you were not faint.
Isaiah 57:11	And of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have I not held my peace even for a long time, and you do not fear me?
Isaiah 57:12	I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they shall not profit you.
Isaiah 57:13	When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
Isaiah 57:14	And he will say, Build up, build up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
Isaiah 57:15	For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 57:16	For I will not contend forever, nor will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
Isaiah 57:17	For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and struck him; I hid my face and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
Isaiah 57:18	I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
Isaiah 57:19	I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Yehovah; and I will heal him.
Isaiah 57:20	But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isaiah 57:21	There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah 58:1	Cry aloud, do not spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Isaiah 58:2	Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.
Isaiah 58:3	Why have we fasted, they say, and you do not see? why have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast you find your own pleasure, and exact all your labors.
Isaiah 58:4	Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you do not fast this day so as to make your voice heard on high.
Isaiah 58:5	Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yehovah?
Isaiah 58:6	Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Isaiah 58:7	Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Isaiah 58:8	Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yehovah shall be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:9	Then you shall call, and Yehovah will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, Here I am. If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;
Isaiah 58:10	and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;
Isaiah 58:11	and Yehovah will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
Isaiah 58:12	And those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isaiah 58:13	If you turn away your foot from the sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of Yehovah honorable; and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words:
Isaiah 58:14	then you shall delight yourself in Yehovah; and I will make you ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father: for the mouth of Yehovah has spoken it.
Isaiah 59:1	Behold, Yehovah’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isaiah 59:2	but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
Isaiah 59:3	For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue mutters wickedness.
Isaiah 59:4	None sues in righteousness, and none pleads in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isaiah 59:5	They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he who eats of their eggs dies; and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.
Isaiah 59:6	Their webs shall not become garments, nor shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
Isaiah 59:7	Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.
Isaiah 59:8	The way of peace they do not know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made for themselves crooked paths; whoever goes in them does not know peace.
Isaiah 59:9	Therefore justice is far from us, nor does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Isaiah 59:10	We grope for the wall like the blind; yes, we grope as those who have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among those who are vigorous we are as dead men.
Isaiah 59:11	We all roar like bears, and moan mournfully like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isaiah 59:12	For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
Isaiah 59:13	transgressing and denying Yehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Isaiah 59:14	And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands far off; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
Isaiah 59:15	Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Yehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
Isaiah 59:16	And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness, it upheld him.
Isaiah 59:17	And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
Isaiah 59:18	According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the coastlands he will repay recompense.
Isaiah 59:19	So they shall fear the name of Yehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Yehovah drives.
Isaiah 59:20	And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 59:21	And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yehovah: my Spirit that is upon you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says Yehovah, from this time forth and forever.
Isaiah 60:1	Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Yehovah has risen upon you.
Isaiah 60:2	For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yehovah will arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
Isaiah 60:3	And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:4	Lift up your eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
Isaiah 60:5	Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.

Isaiah 60:8	Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
Isaiah 60:9	Surely the coastlands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Yehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.
Isaiah 60:10	And foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
Isaiah 60:11	Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
Isaiah 60:12	For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Isaiah 60:13	The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Isaiah 60:14	And the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of Yehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 60:15	Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
Isaiah 60:16	You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Yehovah, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Isaiah 60:17	For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and your taskmasters righteousness.
Isaiah 60:18	Violence shall no more be heard in your land, desolation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
Isaiah 60:19	The sun shall be no more your light by day; nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but Yehovah will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.
Isaiah 60:20	Your sun shall no more go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for Yehovah will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
Isaiah 60:21	Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Isaiah 60:22	The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yehovah, will hasten it in its time.
Isaiah 61:1	The Spirit of the Lord Yehovah is upon me; because Yehovah has anointed me to preach good news to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Isaiah 61:2	to proclaim the year of Yehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
Isaiah 61:3	to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yehovah, that he may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:4	And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Isaiah 61:5	And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers.
Isaiah 61:6	But you shall be named the priests of Yehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast yourselves.
Isaiah 61:7	Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
Isaiah 61:8	For I, Yehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Isaiah 61:9	And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Yehovah has blessed.
Isaiah 61:10	I will greatly rejoice in Yehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:11	For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Yehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 62:4	You shall no more be termed Forsaken; nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzi-bah, and your land Beulah; for Yehovah delights in you, and your land shall be married.

Isaiah 62:6	I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: you who are Yehovah’s remembrancers, take no rest,
Isaiah 62:7	and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Isaiah 62:8	Yehovah has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies; and foreigners shall not drink your new wine, for which you have labored:
Isaiah 62:9	but those who have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Yehovah; and those who have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.

Isaiah 63:1	Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this one who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Isaiah 63:2	Why are you red in your apparel, and your garments like him who treads in the winevat?
Isaiah 63:3	I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yes, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my clothing.
Isaiah 63:4	For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.
Isaiah 63:5	And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore my own arm brought salvation to me; and my wrath, it upheld me.

Isaiah 63:7	I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Yehovah, and the praises of Yehovah, according to all that Yehovah has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he has bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Isaiah 63:8	For he said, Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal falsely: so he was their Savior.
Isaiah 63:9	In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isaiah 63:10	But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and himself fought against them.
Isaiah 63:11	Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying, Where is he who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he who put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?
Isaiah 63:12	who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Isaiah 63:13	who led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they did not stumble?
Isaiah 63:14	As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yehovah caused them to rest: so you led your people, to make yourself a glorious name.
Isaiah 63:15	Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassions are restrained toward me.
Isaiah 63:16	For you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us: you, O Yehovah, are our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is your name.
Isaiah 63:17	O Yehovah, why do you make us err from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance.
Isaiah 63:18	Your holy people possessed it only a little while: our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
Isaiah 63:19	We have become as those over whom you never bore rule, as those who were not called by your name.
Isaiah 64:1	Oh that you would tear open the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,
Isaiah 64:2	as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
Isaiah 64:3	When you did terrible things which we did not look for, you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
Isaiah 64:4	For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
Isaiah 64:5	You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways: behold, you were angry, and we sinned: in them we have been a long time; and shall we be saved?
Isaiah 64:6	For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Isaiah 64:7	And there is none who calls upon your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Isaiah 64:8	But now, O Yehovah, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64:9	Do not be very severely angry, O Yehovah, nor remember iniquity forever: behold, look, we beseech you, we are all your people.
Isaiah 64:10	Your holy cities have become a wilderness, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Isaiah 64:11	Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised you, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste.
Isaiah 64:12	Will you restrain yourself for these things, O Yehovah? will you hold your peace, and afflict us very severely?
Isaiah 65:1	I am inquired of by those who did not ask for me; I am found by those who did not seek me: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.
Isaiah 65:2	I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
Isaiah 65:3	a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;
Isaiah 65:4	who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Isaiah 65:5	who say, Stand by yourself, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.
Isaiah 65:6	Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yes, I will recompense into their bosom,
Isaiah 65:7	your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Yehovah, who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.
Isaiah 65:8	Thus says Yehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it: so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.
Isaiah 65:9	And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Isaiah 65:10	And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
Isaiah 65:11	But you who forsake Yehovah, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mingled wine to Destiny;
Isaiah 65:12	I will destine you to the sword, and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.
Isaiah 65:13	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame;
Isaiah 65:14	behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
Isaiah 65:15	And you shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord Yehovah will slay you; and he will call his servants by another name:
Isaiah 65:16	so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
Isaiah 65:17	For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah 65:18	But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Isaiah 65:19	And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and rejoice in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
Isaiah 65:20	There shall no more be from there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
Isaiah 65:21	And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isaiah 65:22	They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Isaiah 65:23	They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Yehovah, and their offspring with them.
Isaiah 65:24	And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Isaiah 65:25	The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 66:1	Thus says Yehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?
Isaiah 66:2	For all these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, says Yehovah: but to this man I will look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
Isaiah 66:3	He who kills an ox is as he who slays a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers swine’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
Isaiah 66:4	I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight.
Isaiah 66:5	Hear the word of Yehovah, you who tremble at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let Yehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy; but it is they who shall be put to shame.
Isaiah 66:6	A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yehovah who renders recompense to his enemies.
Isaiah 66:7	Before she was in labor, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a male child.
Isaiah 66:8	Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion was in labor, she brought forth her children.
Isaiah 66:9	Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says Yehovah: shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb? says your God.
Isaiah 66:10	Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
Isaiah 66:11	that you may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Isaiah 66:12	For thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck of it; you shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.
Isaiah 66:13	As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 66:14	And you shall see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yehovah shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
Isaiah 66:15	For, behold, Yehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Isaiah 66:16	For by fire Yehovah will execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and the slain of Yehovah shall be many.
Isaiah 66:17	Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 66:18	For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
Isaiah 66:19	And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those of them who escape to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands far off, that have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Isaiah 66:20	And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yehovah, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yehovah.
Isaiah 66:21	And of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 66:22	For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says Yehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isaiah 66:23	And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before me, says Yehovah.
Isaiah 66:24	And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.
Jeremiah 1:1	The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Jeremiah 1:2	to whom the word of Yehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Jeremiah 1:3	It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
Jeremiah 1:4	Now the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 1:5	Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah 1:6	Then I said, Ah, Lord Yehovah! behold, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child.
Jeremiah 1:7	But Yehovah said to me, Do not say, I am a child; for to whomever I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Jeremiah 1:8	Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 1:9	Then Yehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Yehovah said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth:
Jeremiah 1:10	see, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Jeremiah 1:11	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Jeremiah 1:12	Then Yehovah said to me, You have seen well: for I watch over my word to perform it.
Jeremiah 1:13	And the word of Yehovah came to me the second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling caldron; and its face is from the north.
Jeremiah 1:14	Then Yehovah said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Jeremiah 1:15	For, behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Yehovah; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 1:16	And I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and bowed down to the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah 1:17	You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you: do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
Jeremiah 1:18	For, behold, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Jeremiah 1:19	And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you, says Yehovah, to deliver you.
Jeremiah 2:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 2:2	Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yehovah, I remember for you the kindness of your youth, the love of your betrothal; how you went after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
Jeremiah 2:3	Israel was holiness to Yehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 2:4	Hear the word of Yehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
Jeremiah 2:5	Thus says Yehovah, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they have gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and have become vain?
Jeremiah 2:6	Neither did they say, Where is Yehovah who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that no one passed through, and where no man dwelt?
Jeremiah 2:7	And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat its fruit and its goodness; but when you entered, you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
Jeremiah 2:8	The priests did not say, Where is Yehovah? and those who handle the law did not know me: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
Jeremiah 2:9	Therefore I will yet contend with you, says Yehovah, and with your children’s children I will contend.
Jeremiah 2:10	For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there has been such a thing.
Jeremiah 2:11	Has a nation changed its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
Jeremiah 2:12	Be astonished, O heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be very desolate, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 2:13	For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jeremiah 2:14	Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born slave? why has he become a prey?
Jeremiah 2:15	The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 2:16	The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of your head.
Jeremiah 2:17	Have you not procured this to yourself, in that you have forsaken Yehovah your God, when he led you by the way?
Jeremiah 2:18	And now what have you to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what have you to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
Jeremiah 2:19	Your own wickedness shall correct you, and your backslidings shall reprove you: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that you have forsaken Yehovah your God, and that my fear is not in you, says the Lord, Yehovah of hosts.
Jeremiah 2:20	For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bonds; and you said, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree you did bow yourself, playing the prostitute.
Jeremiah 2:21	Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?
Jeremiah 2:22	For though you wash yourself with lye, and take much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord Yehovah.
Jeremiah 2:23	How can you say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim? see your way in the valley, know what you have done: you are a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
Jeremiah 2:24	a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all those who seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
Jeremiah 2:25	Keep your foot from being unshod, and your throat from thirst. But you said, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.
Jeremiah 2:26	As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;
Jeremiah 2:27	who say to a stock, You are my father; and to a stone, You have brought me forth: for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
Jeremiah 2:28	But where are your gods that you have made for yourself? let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble: for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.
Jeremiah 2:29	Why will you contend with me? you all have transgressed against me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 2:30	In vain have I struck your children; they received no correction: your own sword has devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Jeremiah 2:31	O generation, see the word of Yehovah. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? or a land of thick darkness? why do my people say, We are broken loose; we will come no more to you?
Jeremiah 2:32	Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Jeremiah 2:33	How well you direct your way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women you have taught your ways.
Jeremiah 2:34	Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: you did not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things.
Jeremiah 2:35	Yet you said, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you, because you say, I have not sinned.
Jeremiah 2:36	Why do you gad about so much to change your way? you shall be ashamed of Egypt also, as you were ashamed of Assyria.
Jeremiah 2:37	From there also you shall go out, with your hands upon your head: for Yehovah has rejected those in whom you trust, and you shall not prosper with them.
Jeremiah 3:1	They say, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, will he return to her again? will not that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 3:2	Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see; where have you not been lain with? By the ways have you sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your whoredoms and with your wickedness.
Jeremiah 3:3	Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; yet you had a prostitute’s forehead, you refused to be ashamed.
Jeremiah 3:4	Will you not from this time cry to me, My Father, you are the guide of my youth?
Jeremiah 3:5	Will he retain his anger forever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.
Jeremiah 3:6	Moreover Yehovah said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she has gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the prostitute.
Jeremiah 3:7	And I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me; but she did not return: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Jeremiah 3:8	And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah her sister did not fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.
Jeremiah 3:9	And it happened through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Jeremiah 3:10	And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 3:11	And Yehovah said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
Jeremiah 3:12	Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, backsliding Israel, says Yehovah; I will not look in anger upon you; for I am merciful, says Yehovah, I will not keep anger forever.
Jeremiah 3:13	Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against Yehovah your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 3:14	Return, O backsliding children, says Yehovah; for I am a husband to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
Jeremiah 3:15	And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah 3:16	And it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says Yehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Yehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.
Jeremiah 3:17	At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Jeremiah 3:18	In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.
Jeremiah 3:19	But I said, How I will put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, You shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me.
Jeremiah 3:20	Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 3:21	A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping and the supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Yehovah their God.
Jeremiah 3:22	Return, you backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we have come to you; for you are Yehovah our God.
Jeremiah 3:23	Truly in vain is the help that is looked for from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in Yehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
Jeremiah 3:24	But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Jeremiah 3:25	Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against Yehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of Yehovah our God.
Jeremiah 4:1	If you will return, O Israel, says Yehovah, if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed;
Jeremiah 4:2	and you shall swear, As Yehovah lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
Jeremiah 4:3	For thus says Yehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns.
Jeremiah 4:4	Circumcise yourselves to Yehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Jeremiah 4:5	Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
Jeremiah 4:6	Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, do not stay; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Jeremiah 4:7	A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he has gone out from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 4:8	For this gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Yehovah has not turned back from us.
Jeremiah 4:9	And it shall come to pass in that day, says Yehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Jeremiah 4:10	Then I said, Ah, Lord Yehovah! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the life.
Jeremiah 4:11	At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
Jeremiah 4:12	a full wind from these shall come for me: now I will also utter judgments against them.
Jeremiah 4:13	Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are ruined.
Jeremiah 4:14	O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
Jeremiah 4:15	For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim.
Jeremiah 4:16	Make mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 4:17	As keepers of a field they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 4:18	Your way and your doings have procured these things to you; this is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.
Jeremiah 4:19	My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Jeremiah 4:20	Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
Jeremiah 4:21	How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah 4:22	For my people are foolish, they do not know me; they are stupid children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 4:23	I beheld the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jeremiah 4:24	I beheld the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.
Jeremiah 4:25	I beheld, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.
Jeremiah 4:26	I beheld, and, behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yehovah, and before his fierce anger.
Jeremiah 4:27	For thus says Yehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
Jeremiah 4:28	For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.
Jeremiah 4:29	Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
Jeremiah 4:30	And you, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your life.
Jeremiah 4:31	For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul faints before the murderers.
Jeremiah 5:1	Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in its broad places, if you can find a man, if there is anyone who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon her.
Jeremiah 5:2	And though they say, As Yehovah lives; surely they swear falsely.
Jeremiah 5:3	O Yehovah, do not your eyes look upon truth? you have struck them, but they were not grieved; you have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Jeremiah 5:4	Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they do not know the way of Yehovah, nor the law of their God:
Jeremiah 5:5	I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of Yehovah, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Jeremiah 5:6	Therefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings have increased.
Jeremiah 5:7	How can I pardon you? your children have forsaken me, and sworn by those who are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes’ houses;
Jeremiah 5:8	they were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
Jeremiah 5:9	Shall I not visit for these things? says Yehovah; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:10	Go up upon her walls, and destroy; but do not make a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Yehovah’s.
Jeremiah 5:11	For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 5:12	They have denied Yehovah, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Jeremiah 5:13	and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
Jeremiah 5:14	Therefore thus says Yehovah, the God of hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Jeremiah 5:15	Behold, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, says Yehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor do you understand what they say.
Jeremiah 5:16	Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.
Jeremiah 5:17	And they shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat; they shall eat up your flocks and your herds; they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees; they shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.
Jeremiah 5:18	But even in those days, says Yehovah, I will not make a full end with you.
Jeremiah 5:19	And it shall come to pass, when you say, Why has Yehovah our God done all these things to us? then you shall say to them, Just as you have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Jeremiah 5:20	Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
Jeremiah 5:21	Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and do not see; who have ears, and do not hear:
Jeremiah 5:22	Do you not fear me? says Yehovah: will you not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though its waves toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.
Jeremiah 5:23	But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
Jeremiah 5:24	Neither do they say in their heart, Let us now fear Yehovah our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Jeremiah 5:25	Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
Jeremiah 5:26	For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
Jeremiah 5:27	As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and grown rich.
Jeremiah 5:28	They have grown fat, they shine: indeed, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy they do not judge.
Jeremiah 5:29	Shall I not visit for these things? says Yehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:30	An astonishing and horrible thing has come to pass in the land:
Jeremiah 5:31	the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in its end?
Jeremiah 6:1	Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.
Jeremiah 6:2	The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, I will cut off.
Jeremiah 6:3	Shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her all around; they shall feed every one in his place.
Jeremiah 6:4	Prepare war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Jeremiah 6:5	Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Jeremiah 6:6	For thus has Yehovah of hosts said, Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Jeremiah 6:7	As a well casts out its waters, so she casts out her wickedness: violence and destruction are heard in her; before me continually are sickness and wounds.
Jeremiah 6:8	Be instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you; lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited.
Jeremiah 6:9	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again your hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.
Jeremiah 6:10	To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Yehovah has become to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Jeremiah 6:11	Therefore I am full of the wrath of Yehovah; I am weary with holding it in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
Jeremiah 6:12	And their houses shall be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 6:13	For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Jeremiah 6:14	They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 6:15	Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 6:16	Thus says Yehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk in it.
Jeremiah 6:17	And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
Jeremiah 6:18	Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Jeremiah 6:19	Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
Jeremiah 6:20	To what purpose does frankincense come to me from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing to me.
Jeremiah 6:21	Therefore thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
Jeremiah 6:22	Thus says Yehovah, Behold, a people comes from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Jeremiah 6:23	They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Zion.
Jeremiah 6:24	We have heard its report; our hands grow feeble: anguish has taken hold of us, and pangs as of a woman in labor.
Jeremiah 6:25	Do not go out into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, and terror, are on every side.
Jeremiah 6:26	O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth, and roll in ashes: make mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
Jeremiah 6:27	I have made you a tester and a fortress among my people; that you may know and test their way.
Jeremiah 6:28	They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are bronze and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
Jeremiah 6:29	The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed by the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
Jeremiah 6:30	Rejected silver men shall call them, because Yehovah has rejected them.
Jeremiah 7:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 7:2	Stand in the gate of Yehovah’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Yehovah, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yehovah.
Jeremiah 7:3	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Jeremiah 7:4	Do not trust in lying words, saying, The temple of Yehovah, the temple of Yehovah, the temple of Yehovah, are these.
Jeremiah 7:5	For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
Jeremiah 7:6	if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own hurt:
Jeremiah 7:7	then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
Jeremiah 7:8	Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Jeremiah 7:9	Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
Jeremiah 7:10	and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that you may do all these abominations?
Jeremiah 7:11	Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 7:12	But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
Jeremiah 7:13	And now, because you have done all these works, says Yehovah, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer:
Jeremiah 7:14	therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
Jeremiah 7:15	And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
Jeremiah 7:16	Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
Jeremiah 7:17	Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 7:18	The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah 7:19	Do they provoke me to anger? says Yehovah; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
Jeremiah 7:20	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Jeremiah 7:21	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Jeremiah 7:22	For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jeremiah 7:23	but this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.
Jeremiah 7:24	But they did not hearken, nor incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
Jeremiah 7:25	Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
Jeremiah 7:26	yet they did not hearken to me, nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers.
Jeremiah 7:27	And you shall speak all these words to them; but they will not hearken to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
Jeremiah 7:28	And you shall say to them, This is the nation that has not hearkened to the voice of Yehovah their God, nor received instruction: truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Jeremiah 7:29	Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Yehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Jeremiah 7:30	For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, says Yehovah: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Jeremiah 7:31	And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
Jeremiah 7:32	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
Jeremiah 7:33	And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and no one shall frighten them away.
Jeremiah 7:34	Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.
Jeremiah 8:1	At that time, says Yehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Jeremiah 8:2	and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have bowed down: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Jeremiah 8:3	And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Yehovah of hosts.
Jeremiah 8:4	Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
Jeremiah 8:5	Why then has this people of Jerusalem slid back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jeremiah 8:6	I hearkened and heard, but they did not speak aright: no man repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong into the battle.
Jeremiah 8:7	Indeed, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know the law of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 8:8	How do you say, We are wise, and the law of Yehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has worked falsely.
Jeremiah 8:9	The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected the word of Yehovah; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Jeremiah 8:10	Therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest everyone deals falsely.
Jeremiah 8:11	And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 8:12	Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 8:13	I will utterly consume them, says Yehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
Jeremiah 8:14	Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Yehovah our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Yehovah.
Jeremiah 8:15	We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
Jeremiah 8:16	The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Jeremiah 8:17	For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 8:18	Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me.
Jeremiah 8:19	Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Yehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
Jeremiah 8:20	The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Jeremiah 8:21	For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold of me.
Jeremiah 8:22	Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
Jeremiah 9:1	Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jeremiah 9:2	Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Jeremiah 9:3	And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they have grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 9:4	Take heed every one of his neighbor, and do not trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
Jeremiah 9:5	And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 9:6	Your habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 9:7	Therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
Jeremiah 9:8	Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait for him.
Jeremiah 9:9	Shall I not visit them for these things? says Yehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 9:10	For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled, they are gone.
Jeremiah 9:11	And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 9:12	Who is the wise man, who may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of Yehovah has spoken, that he may declare it? why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
Jeremiah 9:13	And Yehovah says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, nor walked in it,
Jeremiah 9:14	but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them;
Jeremiah 9:15	therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Jeremiah 9:16	I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.
Jeremiah 9:17	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:
Jeremiah 9:18	and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Jeremiah 9:19	For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.
Jeremiah 9:20	Yet hear the word of Yehovah, O you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
Jeremiah 9:21	For death has come up into our windows, it has entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
Jeremiah 9:22	Speak, Thus says Yehovah, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and no one shall gather them.
Jeremiah 9:23	Thus says Yehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches;
Jeremiah 9:24	but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yehovah who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 9:25	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will punish all those who are circumcised in their uncircumcision:
Jeremiah 9:26	Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
Jeremiah 10:1	Hear the word which Yehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel:
Jeremiah 10:2	thus says Yehovah, Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
Jeremiah 10:3	For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Jeremiah 10:4	They adorn it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it does not move.
Jeremiah 10:5	They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:6	There is none like you, O Yehovah; you are great, and your name is great in might.
Jeremiah 10:7	Who should not fear you, O King of the nations? for to you it belongs; since among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
Jeremiah 10:8	But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
Jeremiah 10:9	There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
Jeremiah 10:10	But Yehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
Jeremiah 10:11	Thus shall you say to them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
Jeremiah 10:12	He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
Jeremiah 10:13	When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Jeremiah 10:14	Every man has become brutish and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah 10:15	They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10:16	The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Yehovah of hosts is his name.
Jeremiah 10:17	Gather up your wares out of the land, O you who abide in the siege.
Jeremiah 10:18	For thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
Jeremiah 10:19	Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah 10:20	My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children have gone out from me, and they are not: there is no one to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Jeremiah 10:21	For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Yehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Jeremiah 10:22	The voice of tidings, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Jeremiah 10:23	O Yehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Jeremiah 10:24	O Yehovah, correct me, but in measure; not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah 10:25	Pour out your wrath upon the nations that do not know you, and upon the families that do not call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob, indeed, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Jeremiah 11:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 11:2	Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 11:3	and say to them, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant,
Jeremiah 11:4	which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
Jeremiah 11:5	that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then I answered, and said, Amen, O Yehovah.
Jeremiah 11:6	And Yehovah said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
Jeremiah 11:7	For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jeremiah 11:8	Yet they did not obey, nor incline 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 not do them.
Jeremiah 11:9	And Yehovah said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 11:10	They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they have gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Jeremiah 11:11	Therefore thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not hearken to them.
Jeremiah 11:12	Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Jeremiah 11:13	For according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
Jeremiah 11:14	Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
Jeremiah 11:15	What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
Jeremiah 11:16	Yehovah called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and its branches are broken.
Jeremiah 11:17	For Yehovah of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
Jeremiah 11:18	And Yehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.
Jeremiah 11:19	But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.
Jeremiah 11:20	But, O Yehovah of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
Jeremiah 11:21	Therefore thus says Yehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, You shall not prophesy in the name of Yehovah, so that you do not die by our hand;
Jeremiah 11:22	therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;
Jeremiah 11:23	and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Jeremiah 12:1	Righteous are you, O Yehovah, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all those at ease who deal very treacherously?
Jeremiah 12:2	You have planted them, indeed, they have taken root; they grow, indeed, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
Jeremiah 12:3	But you, O Yehovah, know me; you see me, and test my heart toward you: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Jeremiah 12:4	How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
Jeremiah 12:5	If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?
Jeremiah 12:6	For even your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have cried aloud after you: do not believe them, though they speak fair words to you.
Jeremiah 12:7	I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jeremiah 12:8	My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest: she has uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
Jeremiah 12:9	Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her all around? go, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
Jeremiah 12:10	Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trampled my portion underfoot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jeremiah 12:11	They have made it a desolation; it mourns to me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart.
Jeremiah 12:12	Destroyers have come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Yehovah devours from one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.
Jeremiah 12:13	They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and you shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 12:14	Thus says Yehovah against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
Jeremiah 12:15	And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Jeremiah 12:16	And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Yehovah lives; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
Jeremiah 12:17	But if they will not hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 13:1	Thus says Yehovah to me, Go, and buy yourself a linen waistband, and put it upon your loins, and do not put it in water.
Jeremiah 13:2	So I bought a waistband according to the word of Yehovah, and put it upon my loins.
Jeremiah 13:3	And the word of Yehovah came to me the second time, saying,
Jeremiah 13:4	Take the waistband that you have bought, which is upon your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
Jeremiah 13:5	So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yehovah commanded me.
Jeremiah 13:6	And it happened after many days, that Yehovah said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the waistband, which I commanded you to hide there.
Jeremiah 13:7	Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it; and, behold, the waistband was ruined, it was profitable for nothing.
Jeremiah 13:8	Then the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 13:9	Thus says Yehovah, In this manner I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 13:10	This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them, shall even be as this waistband, which is profitable for nothing.
Jeremiah 13:11	For as the waistband clings to the loins of a man, so I have caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yehovah; that they may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Jeremiah 13:12	Therefore you shall speak to them this word: Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Every jar shall be filled with wine: and they shall say to you, Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?
Jeremiah 13:13	Then you shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Jeremiah 13:14	And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Yehovah: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
Jeremiah 13:15	Hear, and give ear; do not be proud; for Yehovah has spoken.
Jeremiah 13:16	Give glory to Yehovah your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it thick darkness.
Jeremiah 13:17	But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Yehovah’s flock is taken captive.
Jeremiah 13:18	Say to the king and to the queen mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headdresses have come down, even the crown of your glory.
Jeremiah 13:19	The cities of the South are shut up, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.
Jeremiah 13:20	Lift up your eyes, and behold those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
Jeremiah 13:21	What will you say, when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in labor?
Jeremiah 13:22	And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come upon me? for the greatness of your iniquity your skirts are uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
Jeremiah 13:23	Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then you also may do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Jeremiah 13:24	Therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.
Jeremiah 13:25	This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me, says Yehovah; because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Jeremiah 13:26	Therefore I will also uncover your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall appear.
Jeremiah 13:27	I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! you will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
Jeremiah 14:1	The word of Yehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
Jeremiah 14:2	Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
Jeremiah 14:3	And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads.
Jeremiah 14:4	Because of the ground which is cracked, since no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads.
Jeremiah 14:5	Indeed, the doe also in the field calves, and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
Jeremiah 14:6	And the wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
Jeremiah 14:7	Though our iniquities testify against us, act for your name’s sake, O Yehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
Jeremiah 14:8	O hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Jeremiah 14:9	Why should you be as a man dismayed, as a mighty man who cannot save? Yet you, O Yehovah, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us.
Jeremiah 14:10	Thus says Yehovah to this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet: therefore Yehovah does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Jeremiah 14:11	And Yehovah said to me, Do not pray for this people for their good.
Jeremiah 14:12	When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jeremiah 14:13	Then I said, Ah, Lord Yehovah! behold, the prophets say to them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
Jeremiah 14:14	Then Yehovah said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I did not send them, neither have I commanded them, nor did I speak to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
Jeremiah 14:15	Therefore thus says Yehovah concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I did not send them, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.
Jeremiah 14:16	And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have no one to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Jeremiah 14:17	And you shall say this word to them, Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and do not let them cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
Jeremiah 14:18	If I go out into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.
Jeremiah 14:19	Have you utterly rejected Judah? has your soul loathed Zion? why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
Jeremiah 14:20	We acknowledge, O Yehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Jeremiah 14:21	Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, do not break your covenant with us.
Jeremiah 14:22	Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? are you not he, O Yehovah our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Jeremiah 15:1	Then Yehovah said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go out.
Jeremiah 15:2	And it shall come to pass, when they say to you, Where shall we go? then you shall tell them, Thus says Yehovah: Those who are for death, to death; and those who are for the sword, to the sword; and those who are for the famine, to the famine; and those who are for captivity, to captivity.
Jeremiah 15:3	And I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yehovah: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
Jeremiah 15:4	And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 15:5	For who will have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who will bemoan you? or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
Jeremiah 15:6	You have rejected me, says Yehovah, you have gone backward: therefore I have stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with relenting.
Jeremiah 15:7	And I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return from their ways.
Jeremiah 15:8	Their widows have increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
Jeremiah 15:9	She who has borne seven languishes; she has breathed her last; her sun has gone down while it was yet day; she has been put to shame and confounded: and the residue of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 15:10	Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.
Jeremiah 15:11	Yehovah said, Truly I will strengthen you for good; truly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jeremiah 15:12	Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
Jeremiah 15:13	Your substance and your treasures I will give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Jeremiah 15:14	And I will make them pass with your enemies into a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you.
Jeremiah 15:15	O Yehovah, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
Jeremiah 15:16	Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O Yehovah, God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:17	I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoice; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.
Jeremiah 15:18	Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
Jeremiah 15:19	Therefore thus says Yehovah, If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you bring out the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.
Jeremiah 15:20	And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 15:21	And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
Jeremiah 16:1	The word of Yehovah came also to me, saying,
Jeremiah 16:2	You shall not take a wife for yourself, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.
Jeremiah 16:3	For thus says Yehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who fathered them in this land:
Jeremiah 16:4	They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 16:5	For thus says Yehovah, Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, nor bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Yehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies.
Jeremiah 16:6	Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
Jeremiah 16:7	neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Jeremiah 16:8	And you shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
Jeremiah 16:9	For thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Jeremiah 16:10	And it shall come to pass, when you show this people all these words, and they say to you, Why has Yehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yehovah our God?
Jeremiah 16:11	then you shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Yehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have bowed down to them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Jeremiah 16:12	and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not hearken to me:
Jeremiah 16:13	therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.
Jeremiah 16:14	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when it shall no more be said, As Yehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 16:15	but, As Yehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
Jeremiah 16:16	Behold, I will send for many fishers, says Yehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Jeremiah 16:17	For my eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Jeremiah 16:18	And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
Jeremiah 16:19	O Yehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you the nations shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, even vanity and things in which there is no profit.
Jeremiah 16:20	Shall a man make gods for himself, which yet are no gods?
Jeremiah 16:21	Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Yehovah.
Jeremiah 17:1	The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Jeremiah 17:2	while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
Jeremiah 17:3	O my mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
Jeremiah 17:4	And you, even of yourself, shall let go of your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you do not know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.
Jeremiah 17:5	Thus says Yehovah: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yehovah.
Jeremiah 17:6	For he shall be like the shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Jeremiah 17:7	Blessed is the man who trusts in Yehovah, and whose trust Yehovah is.
Jeremiah 17:8	For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, nor shall it cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah 17:9	The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:10	I, Yehovah, search the mind, I test the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17:11	As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
Jeremiah 17:12	A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Jeremiah 17:13	O Yehovah, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yehovah, the fountain of living waters.
Jeremiah 17:14	Heal me, O Yehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
Jeremiah 17:15	Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of Yehovah? let it come now.
Jeremiah 17:16	As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
Jeremiah 17:17	Do not be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
Jeremiah 17:18	Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Jeremiah 17:19	Thus said Yehovah to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 17:20	and say to them, Hear the word of Yehovah, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in by these gates:
Jeremiah 17:21	Thus says Yehovah, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 17:22	nor carry out a burden from your houses on the sabbath day, nor do any work: but hallow the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Jeremiah 17:23	But they did not hearken, nor incline their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
Jeremiah 17:24	And it shall come to pass, if you diligently hearken to me, says Yehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work on it;
Jeremiah 17:25	then there shall enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
Jeremiah 17:26	And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 17:27	But if you will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Jeremiah 18:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 18:2	Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.
Jeremiah 18:3	Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheel.
Jeremiah 18:4	And when the vessel that he made of the clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Jeremiah 18:5	Then the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 18:6	O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Yehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
Jeremiah 18:7	At what instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
Jeremiah 18:8	if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
Jeremiah 18:9	And at what instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Jeremiah 18:10	if they do that which is evil in my sight, so that they do not obey my voice, then I will relent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.
Jeremiah 18:11	Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yehovah: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return now every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Jeremiah 18:12	But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.
Jeremiah 18:13	Therefore thus says Yehovah: Ask now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Jeremiah 18:14	Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Jeremiah 18:15	For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;
Jeremiah 18:16	to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Jeremiah 18:17	I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Jeremiah 18:18	Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Jeremiah 18:19	Give heed to me, O Yehovah, and hearken to the voice of those who contend with me.
Jeremiah 18:20	Shall evil be repaid for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Jeremiah 18:21	Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain by death, and their young men struck by the sword in battle.
Jeremiah 18:22	Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hidden snares for my feet.
Jeremiah 18:23	Yet, Yehovah, you know all their counsel against me to slay me; do not forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger.
Jeremiah 19:1	Thus said Yehovah, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen flask, and take some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Jeremiah 19:2	and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you;
Jeremiah 19:3	and say, Hear the word of Yehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whoever hears, his ears shall tingle.
Jeremiah 19:4	Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom they did not know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
Jeremiah 19:5	and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I did not command, nor speak, nor did it come into my mind:
Jeremiah 19:6	therefore, behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter.
Jeremiah 19:7	And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 19:8	And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
Jeremiah 19:9	And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them.
Jeremiah 19:10	Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you,
Jeremiah 19:11	and shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
Jeremiah 19:12	Thus I will do to this place, says Yehovah, and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth:
Jeremiah 19:13	and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.
Jeremiah 19:14	Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Yehovah’s house, and said to all the people:
Jeremiah 19:15	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.
Jeremiah 20:1	Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Yehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Jeremiah 20:2	Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 20:3	And it happened the next day, that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yehovah has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
Jeremiah 20:4	For thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
Jeremiah 20:5	Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, indeed, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 20:6	And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.
Jeremiah 20:7	O Yehovah, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I have become a laughingstock all the day, everyone mocks me.
Jeremiah 20:8	For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yehovah has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
Jeremiah 20:9	And if I say, I will not make mention of him, 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 weary with holding it in, and I cannot contain it.
Jeremiah 20:10	For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
Jeremiah 20:11	But Yehovah is with me as a mighty and terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
Jeremiah 20:12	But, O Yehovah of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
Jeremiah 20:13	Sing to Yehovah, praise Yehovah; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Jeremiah 20:14	Cursed be the day on which I was born: let not the day on which my mother bore me be blessed.
Jeremiah 20:15	Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A male child is born to you; making him very glad.
Jeremiah 20:16	And let that man be as the cities which Yehovah overthrew, and did not relent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
Jeremiah 20:17	because he did not slay me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
Jeremiah 20:18	Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Jeremiah 21:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
Jeremiah 21:2	Inquire, please, of Yehovah for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makes war against us: perhaps Yehovah will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
Jeremiah 21:3	Then Jeremiah said to them, Thus you shall say to Zedekiah:
Jeremiah 21:4	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, outside the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
Jeremiah 21:5	And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation.
Jeremiah 21:6	And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
Jeremiah 21:7	And afterward, says Yehovah, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
Jeremiah 21:8	And to this people you shall say, Thus says Yehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
Jeremiah 21:9	He who abides in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out, and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.
Jeremiah 21:10	For I have set my face upon this city for evil, and not for good, says Yehovah: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Jeremiah 21:11	And concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear the word of Yehovah:
Jeremiah 21:12	O house of David, thus says Yehovah, Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Jeremiah 21:13	Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain, says Yehovah; you who say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
Jeremiah 21:14	And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says Yehovah; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is all around her.
Jeremiah 22:1	Thus said Yehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Jeremiah 22:2	and say, Hear the word of Yehovah, O king of Judah, who sits upon the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
Jeremiah 22:3	Thus says Yehovah: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah 22:4	For if you do this thing indeed, then there shall enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Jeremiah 22:5	But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says Yehovah, that this house shall become a desolation.
Jeremiah 22:6	For thus says Yehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon; yet surely I will make you a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
Jeremiah 22:7	And I will prepare destroyers against you, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
Jeremiah 22:8	And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why has Yehovah done this to this great city?
Jeremiah 22:9	Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of Yehovah their God, and bowed down to other gods, and served them.
Jeremiah 22:10	Do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Jeremiah 22:11	For thus says Yehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: He shall not return there any more;
Jeremiah 22:12	but in the place where they have led him captive, there he shall die, and he shall see this land no more.
Jeremiah 22:13	Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and does not give him his hire;
Jeremiah 22:14	who says, I will build myself a wide house and spacious chambers, and cuts out windows for it; and it is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Jeremiah 22:15	Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.
Jeremiah 22:16	He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 22:17	But your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Jeremiah 22:18	Therefore thus says Yehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him, saying Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Jeremiah 22:19	He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 22:20	Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.
Jeremiah 22:21	I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your manner from your youth, that you did not obey my voice.
Jeremiah 22:22	The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you shall be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
Jeremiah 22:23	O inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you shall be when pangs come upon you, the pain as of a woman in labor!
Jeremiah 22:24	As I live, says Yehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet I would pluck you from there;
Jeremiah 22:25	and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 22:26	And I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you shall die.
Jeremiah 22:27	But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they shall not return.
Jeremiah 22:28	Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel in which no one delights? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and cast into the land which they do not know?
Jeremiah 22:29	O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 22:30	Thus says Yehovah, Write this man childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
Jeremiah 23:1	Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:2	Therefore thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:3	And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
Jeremiah 23:4	And I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:5	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 23:6	In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name by which he shall be called: Yehovah our righteousness.
Jeremiah 23:7	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when they shall no more say, As Yehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 23:8	but, As Yehovah lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.
Jeremiah 23:9	Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yehovah, and because of his holy words.
Jeremiah 23:10	For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right;
Jeremiah 23:11	for both prophet and priest are profane; indeed, in my house I have found their wickedness, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:12	Therefore their way shall be to them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall in it; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:13	And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Jeremiah 23:14	In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness: they have all of them become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
Jeremiah 23:15	Therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.
Jeremiah 23:16	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, Do not hearken to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:17	They say continually to those who despise me, Yehovah has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you.
Jeremiah 23:18	For who has stood in the council of Yehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who has marked my word, and heard it?
Jeremiah 23:19	Behold, the tempest of Yehovah, even his wrath, has gone out, indeed, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah 23:20	The anger of Yehovah shall not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.
Jeremiah 23:21	I did not send these prophets, yet they ran: I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.
Jeremiah 23:22	But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 23:23	Am I a God at hand, says Yehovah, and not a God afar off?
Jeremiah 23:24	Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? says Yehovah. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:25	I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jeremiah 23:26	How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Jeremiah 23:27	who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Jeremiah 23:28	The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:29	Is not my word like fire? says Yehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 23:30	Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, says Yehovah, who steal my words every one from his neighbor.
Jeremiah 23:31	Behold, I am against the prophets, says Yehovah, who use their tongues, and say, He says.
Jeremiah 23:32	Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yehovah, and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I did not send them, nor command them; neither do they profit this people at all, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:33	And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, What is the burden of Yehovah? then you shall say to them, What burden! I will cast you off, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 23:34	And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Yehovah, I will even punish that man and his house.
Jeremiah 23:35	Thus you shall say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What has Yehovah answered? and, What has Yehovah spoken?
Jeremiah 23:36	And the burden of Yehovah you shall mention no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of Yehovah of hosts our God.
Jeremiah 23:37	Thus you shall say to the prophet, What has Yehovah answered you? and, What has Yehovah spoken?
Jeremiah 23:38	But if you say, The burden of Yehovah; therefore thus says Yehovah: Because you say this word, The burden of Yehovah, and I have sent to you, saying, You shall not say, The burden of Yehovah;
Jeremiah 23:39	therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence:
Jeremiah 23:40	and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
Jeremiah 24:1	Yehovah showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Yehovah, after Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 24:2	One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Jeremiah 24:3	Then Yehovah said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Jeremiah 24:4	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 24:5	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
Jeremiah 24:6	For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Jeremiah 24:7	And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yehovah: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
Jeremiah 24:8	And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says Yehovah, So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,
Jeremiah 24:9	I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
Jeremiah 24:10	And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they are consumed from the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
Jeremiah 25:1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),
Jeremiah 25:2	which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
Jeremiah 25:3	From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of Yehovah has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not hearkened.
Jeremiah 25:4	And Yehovah has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear),
Jeremiah 25:5	saying, Return now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yehovah has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
Jeremiah 25:6	and do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
Jeremiah 25:7	Yet you have not hearkened to me, says Yehovah; that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
Jeremiah 25:8	Therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts: Because you have not heard my words,
Jeremiah 25:9	behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Yehovah, and I will send to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Jeremiah 25:10	Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Jeremiah 25:11	And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12	And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
Jeremiah 25:13	And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
Jeremiah 25:14	For many nations and great kings shall make slaves of them, even of them; and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
Jeremiah 25:15	For thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
Jeremiah 25:16	And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
Jeremiah 25:17	Then I took the cup from Yehovah’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom Yehovah had sent me:
Jeremiah 25:18	that is, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
Jeremiah 25:19	Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jeremiah 25:20	and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
Jeremiah 25:21	Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
Jeremiah 25:22	and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
Jeremiah 25:23	Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off;
Jeremiah 25:24	and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people who dwell in the wilderness;
Jeremiah 25:25	and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
Jeremiah 25:26	and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Jeremiah 25:27	And you shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunk, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
Jeremiah 25:28	And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: You shall surely drink.
Jeremiah 25:29	For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yehovah of hosts.
Jeremiah 25:30	Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them, Yehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:31	A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Yehovah has a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 25:32	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, Behold, evil shall go out from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:33	And the slain of Yehovah shall be in that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, nor gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.
Jeremiah 25:34	Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and roll in ashes, you masters of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you shall fall like a choice vessel.
Jeremiah 25:35	And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the masters of the flock to escape.
Jeremiah 25:36	A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the masters of the flock! for Yehovah lays waste their pasture.
Jeremiah 25:37	And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 25:38	He has left his lair, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of his fierce anger.
Jeremiah 26:1	In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 26:2	Thus says Yehovah: Stand in the court of Yehovah’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yehovah’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.
Jeremiah 26:3	It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah 26:4	And you shall say to them, Thus says Yehovah: If you will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Jeremiah 26:5	to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not hearkened;
Jeremiah 26:6	then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Jeremiah 26:7	And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 26:8	And it happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, You shall surely die.
Jeremiah 26:9	Why have you prophesied in the name of Yehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 26:10	And when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the house of Yehovah; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Yehovah’s house.
Jeremiah 26:11	Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
Jeremiah 26:12	Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
Jeremiah 26:13	Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yehovah your God; and Yehovah will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
Jeremiah 26:14	But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
Jeremiah 26:15	Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for in truth Yehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
Jeremiah 26:16	Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Yehovah our God.
Jeremiah 26:17	Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Jeremiah 26:18	Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Jeremiah 26:19	Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear Yehovah, and entreat the favor of Yehovah, and Yehovah relented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.
Jeremiah 26:20	And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Yehovah, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 26:21	And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
Jeremiah 26:22	And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;
Jeremiah 26:23	and they brought Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Jeremiah 26:24	But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremiah 27:1	In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 27:2	Thus says Yehovah to me: Make bonds and bars for yourself, and put them upon your neck;
Jeremiah 27:3	and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah:
Jeremiah 27:4	and give them a charge to their masters, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus you shall say to your masters:
Jeremiah 27:5	I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Jeremiah 27:6	And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also I have given him to serve him.
Jeremiah 27:7	And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.
Jeremiah 27:8	And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve this same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says Yehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jeremiah 27:9	But as for you, do not hearken to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Jeremiah 27:10	for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
Jeremiah 27:11	But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation I will let remain in their own land, says Yehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
Jeremiah 27:12	And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Jeremiah 27:13	Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yehovah has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Jeremiah 27:14	And do not hearken to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jeremiah 27:15	For I have not sent them, says Yehovah, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.
Jeremiah 27:16	Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says Yehovah: Do not hearken to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Yehovah’s house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Jeremiah 27:17	Do not hearken to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?
Jeremiah 27:18	But if they are prophets, and if the word of Yehovah is with them, let them now make intercession to Yehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Yehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, do not go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:19	For thus says Yehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,
Jeremiah 27:20	which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
Jeremiah 27:21	indeed, thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
Jeremiah 27:22	They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day that I visit them, says Yehovah; then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Jeremiah 28:1	And it happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Yehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jeremiah 28:2	Thus speaks Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:3	Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of Yehovah’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:
Jeremiah 28:4	and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon, says Yehovah; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:5	Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of Yehovah,
Jeremiah 28:6	even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: may Yehovah do so; may Yehovah perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yehovah’s house, and all those of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.
Jeremiah 28:7	Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
Jeremiah 28:8	The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Jeremiah 28:9	The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, then the prophet shall be known, that Yehovah has truly sent him.
Jeremiah 28:10	Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.
Jeremiah 28:11	And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says Yehovah: Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Jeremiah 28:12	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 28:13	Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says Yehovah: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.
Jeremiah 28:14	For thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
Jeremiah 28:15	Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Yehovah has not sent you; but you make this people trust in a lie.
Jeremiah 28:16	Therefore thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against Yehovah.
Jeremiah 28:17	So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Jeremiah 29:1	Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Jeremiah 29:2	(after Jeconiah the king, and the queen mother, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, had departed from Jerusalem),
Jeremiah 29:3	by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying,
Jeremiah 29:4	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jeremiah 29:5	Build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit.
Jeremiah 29:6	Take wives, and father sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters: and multiply there, and do not be diminished.
Jeremiah 29:7	And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yehovah for it; for in its peace you shall have peace.
Jeremiah 29:8	For thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you; nor hearken to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
Jeremiah 29:9	For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 29:10	For thus says Yehovah, After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
Jeremiah 29:11	For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.
Jeremiah 29:12	And you shall call upon me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken to you.
Jeremiah 29:13	And you shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:14	And I will be found by you, says Yehovah, and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, says Yehovah; and I will bring you again to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah 29:15	Because you have said, Yehovah has raised up prophets for us in Babylon;
Jeremiah 29:16	thus says Yehovah concerning the king who sits upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who have not gone out with you into captivity;
Jeremiah 29:17	thus says Yehovah of hosts: Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Jeremiah 29:18	And I will pursue them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them;
Jeremiah 29:19	because they have not hearkened to my words, says Yehovah, with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 29:20	Hear therefore the word of Yehovah, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jeremiah 29:21	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
Jeremiah 29:22	and of them a curse shall be taken up by all the captives of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, May Yehovah make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
Jeremiah 29:23	because they have worked folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I did not command them; and I am he who knows, and am witness, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 29:24	And concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
Jeremiah 29:25	Thus speaks Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jeremiah 29:26	Yehovah has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of Yehovah, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
Jeremiah 29:27	Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
Jeremiah 29:28	since he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long: build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit?
Jeremiah 29:29	And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah 29:30	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 29:31	Send to all those of the captivity, saying, Thus says Yehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I did not send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie;
Jeremiah 29:32	therefore thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do to my people, says Yehovah, because he has spoken rebellion against Yehovah.
Jeremiah 30:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 30:2	Thus speaks Yehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
Jeremiah 30:3	For, behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Yehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Jeremiah 30:4	And these are the words that Yehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Jeremiah 30:5	For thus says Yehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
Jeremiah 30:6	Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in labor, and all faces turned pale?
Jeremiah 30:7	Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Jeremiah 30:8	And it shall come to pass in that day, says Yehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their slave;
Jeremiah 30:9	but they shall serve Yehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
Jeremiah 30:10	Therefore do not fear, O Jacob my servant, says Yehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and no one shall make him afraid.
Jeremiah 30:11	For I am with you, says Yehovah, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will by no means leave you unpunished.
Jeremiah 30:12	For thus says Yehovah, Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.
Jeremiah 30:13	There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.
Jeremiah 30:14	All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased.
Jeremiah 30:15	Why do you cry for your hurt? your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Jeremiah 30:16	Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and those who plunder you shall be a spoil, and all who prey upon you I will give for a prey.
Jeremiah 30:17	For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yehovah; because they have called you an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.
Jeremiah 30:18	Thus says Yehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built upon its own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.
Jeremiah 30:19	And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Jeremiah 30:20	Their children also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
Jeremiah 30:21	And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach me? says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 30:22	And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Jeremiah 30:23	Behold, the tempest of Yehovah, even his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah 30:24	The fierce anger of Yehovah shall not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand it.
Jeremiah 31:1	At that time, says Yehovah, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:2	Thus says Yehovah, The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Jeremiah 31:3	Yehovah appeared of old to me, saying, Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
Jeremiah 31:4	Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again you shall be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go out in the dances of those who make merry.
Jeremiah 31:5	Again you shall plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy its fruit.
Jeremiah 31:6	For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion to Yehovah our God.
Jeremiah 31:7	For thus says Yehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish, praise, and say, O Yehovah, save your people, the remnant of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:8	Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together: a great company they shall return here.
Jeremiah 31:9	They shall come with weeping; and with supplications I will lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
Jeremiah 31:10	Hear the word of Yehovah, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.
Jeremiah 31:11	For Yehovah has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
Jeremiah 31:12	And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of Yehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Jeremiah 31:13	Then the virgin shall rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:14	And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 31:15	Thus says Yehovah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are not.
Jeremiah 31:16	Thus says Yehovah: Keep your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for your work shall be rewarded, says Yehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
Jeremiah 31:17	And there is hope for your latter end, says Yehovah; and your children shall come again to their own border.
Jeremiah 31:18	I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed to the yoke: turn me, and I shall be turned; for you are Yehovah my God.
Jeremiah 31:19	Surely after I was turned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh: I was ashamed, indeed, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.
Jeremiah 31:20	Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearns for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 31:21	Set up road markers for yourself, make guideposts for yourself; set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your cities.
Jeremiah 31:22	How long will you go here and there, O backsliding daughter? for Yehovah has created a new thing in the earth: A woman shall encompass a man.
Jeremiah 31:23	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I bring again their captivity: May Yehovah bless you, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.
Jeremiah 31:24	And Judah and all its cities shall dwell in it together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
Jeremiah 31:25	For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul I have replenished.
Jeremiah 31:26	Upon this I awoke, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Jeremiah 31:27	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
Jeremiah 31:28	And it shall come to pass that, just as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 31:29	In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
Jeremiah 31:30	But everyone shall die for his own iniquity: every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Jeremiah 31:31	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32	not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband to them, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 31:33	But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah 31:34	And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Yehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.
Jeremiah 31:35	Thus says Yehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar; Yehovah of hosts is his name:
Jeremiah 31:36	If these ordinances depart from before me, says Yehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
Jeremiah 31:37	Thus says Yehovah: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 31:38	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when the city shall be built to Yehovah from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
Jeremiah 31:39	And the measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.
Jeremiah 31:40	And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to Yehovah; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.
Jeremiah 32:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from Yehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Jeremiah 32:2	Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
Jeremiah 32:3	For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Jeremiah 32:4	and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Jeremiah 32:5	and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he shall be until I visit him, says Yehovah: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?
Jeremiah 32:6	And Jeremiah said, The word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Jeremiah 32:7	Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.
Jeremiah 32:8	So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yehovah, and said to me, Buy my field, please, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 32:9	And I bought the field that was in Anathoth from Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed out the money to him, even seventeen shekels of silver.
Jeremiah 32:10	And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed the money to him in the balances.
Jeremiah 32:11	So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
Jeremiah 32:12	and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 32:13	And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
Jeremiah 32:14	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.
Jeremiah 32:15	For thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.
Jeremiah 32:16	Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 32:17	Ah Lord Yehovah! behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for you,
Jeremiah 32:18	who shows lovingkindness to thousands, and repays the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Yehovah of hosts is his name;
Jeremiah 32:19	great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
Jeremiah 32:20	who set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as at this day;
Jeremiah 32:21	and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
Jeremiah 32:22	and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Jeremiah 32:23	and they came in, and possessed it; but they did not obey your voice, nor walk in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
Jeremiah 32:24	Behold, the mounds have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has come to pass; and, behold, you see it.
Jeremiah 32:25	And you have said to me, O Lord Yehovah, Buy the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 32:26	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 32:27	Behold, I am Yehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:28	Therefore thus says Yehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
Jeremiah 32:29	and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah 32:30	For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 32:31	For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
Jeremiah 32:32	because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 32:33	And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
Jeremiah 32:34	But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
Jeremiah 32:35	And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Jeremiah 32:36	And now therefore thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Jeremiah 32:37	Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
Jeremiah 32:38	And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Jeremiah 32:39	and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Jeremiah 32:40	and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
Jeremiah 32:41	Indeed, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Jeremiah 32:42	For thus says Yehovah: Just as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Jeremiah 32:43	And fields shall be bought in this land, of which you say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 32:44	Men shall buy fields for money, and sign the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 33:1	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah 33:2	Thus says Yehovah who does it, Yehovah who forms it to establish it; Yehovah is his name:
Jeremiah 33:3	Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you do not know.
Jeremiah 33:4	For thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword;
Jeremiah 33:5	while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
Jeremiah 33:6	Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah 33:7	And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Jeremiah 33:8	And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.
Jeremiah 33:9	And this city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.
Jeremiah 33:10	Thus says Yehovah: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, of which you say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,
Jeremiah 33:11	the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, Give thanks to Yehovah of hosts, for Yehovah is good, for his lovingkindness endures forever; and of those who bring sacrifices of thanksgiving into the house of Yehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 33:12	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Yet again there shall be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Jeremiah 33:13	In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks shall again pass under the hands of him who numbers them, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 33:14	Behold, the days are coming, says Yehovah, when I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
Jeremiah 33:15	In those days, and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 33:16	In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which she shall be called: Yehovah our righteousness.
Jeremiah 33:17	For thus says Yehovah: David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Jeremiah 33:18	neither shall the priests the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
Jeremiah 33:19	And the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 33:20	Thus says Yehovah: If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;
Jeremiah 33:21	then my covenant may also be broken with David my servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
Jeremiah 33:22	As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured; so I will multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.
Jeremiah 33:23	And the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 33:24	Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Yehovah chose, he has cast them off? thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Jeremiah 33:25	Thus says Yehovah: If my covenant of day and night does not stand, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Jeremiah 33:26	then I will also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
Jeremiah 34:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its cities, saying:
Jeremiah 34:2	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Jeremiah 34:3	and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 34:4	Yet hear the word of Yehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus says Yehovah concerning you, You shall not die by the sword;
Jeremiah 34:5	you shall die in peace; and as with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they shall make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, saying, Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 34:6	Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Jeremiah 34:7	when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
Jeremiah 34:8	The word that came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
Jeremiah 34:9	that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free; that no one should make slaves of them, that is, of a Jew his brother.
Jeremiah 34:10	And all the princes and all the people who had entered into the covenant obeyed, that every one should let his male servant, and every one his female servant, go free, that no one should make slaves of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
Jeremiah 34:11	but afterward they turned, and caused the male servants and the female servants, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection as male servants and as female servants.
Jeremiah 34:12	Therefore the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 34:13	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Jeremiah 34:14	At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers did not hearken to me, nor incline their ear.
Jeremiah 34:15	And you had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Jeremiah 34:16	but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his male servant, and every man his female servant, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be your male servants and female servants.
Jeremiah 34:17	Therefore thus says Yehovah: You have not hearkened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says Yehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Jeremiah 34:18	And I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts;
Jeremiah 34:19	the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf;
Jeremiah 34:20	I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 34:21	And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which has gone away from you.
Jeremiah 34:22	Behold, I will command, says Yehovah, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 35:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from Yehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
Jeremiah 35:2	Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Yehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
Jeremiah 35:3	Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Jeremiah 35:4	and I brought them into the house of Yehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
Jeremiah 35:5	And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, Drink wine.
Jeremiah 35:6	But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons, forever:
Jeremiah 35:7	neither shall you build a house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you sojourn.
Jeremiah 35:8	And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
Jeremiah 35:9	nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Jeremiah 35:10	but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Jeremiah 35:11	But it happened, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 35:12	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 35:13	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 35:14	The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment. But I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; and you have not hearkened to me.
Jeremiah 35:15	I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
Jeremiah 35:16	Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not hearkened to me;
Jeremiah 35:17	therefore thus says Yehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.
Jeremiah 35:18	And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you;
Jeremiah 35:19	therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall never lack a man to stand before me.
Jeremiah 36:1	And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, saying,
Jeremiah 36:2	Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
Jeremiah 36:3	It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jeremiah 36:4	Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Yehovah, which he had spoken to him, upon a scroll of a book.
Jeremiah 36:5	And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Yehovah:
Jeremiah 36:6	therefore go, and read in the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of Yehovah in the ears of the people in Yehovah’s house upon the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
Jeremiah 36:7	It may be they will present their supplication before Yehovah, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Yehovah has pronounced against this people.
Jeremiah 36:8	And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yehovah in Yehovah’s house.
Jeremiah 36:9	Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yehovah.
Jeremiah 36:10	Then Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Yehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yehovah’s house, in the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah 36:11	And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Yehovah,
Jeremiah 36:12	he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, behold, all the princes were sitting there, that is, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Jeremiah 36:13	Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Jeremiah 36:14	Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the scroll from which you have read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
Jeremiah 36:15	And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
Jeremiah 36:16	Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
Jeremiah 36:17	And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How did you write all these words from his mouth?
Jeremiah 36:18	Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
Jeremiah 36:19	Then the princes said to Baruch, Go, hide yourself, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are.
Jeremiah 36:20	And they went in to the king into the court; but they had put the scroll away in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
Jeremiah 36:21	So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king.
Jeremiah 36:22	Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Jeremiah 36:23	And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Jeremiah 36:24	And they were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
Jeremiah 36:25	Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them.
Jeremiah 36:26	And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yehovah hid them.
Jeremiah 36:27	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 36:28	Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
Jeremiah 36:29	And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, Thus says Yehovah: You have burned this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause man and beast to cease from there?
Jeremiah 36:30	Therefore thus says Yehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Jeremiah 36:31	And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they did not hearken.
Jeremiah 36:32	Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides to them many similar words.
Jeremiah 37:1	And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah 37:2	But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened to the words of Yehovah, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 37:3	And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yehovah our God for us.
Jeremiah 37:4	Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Jeremiah 37:5	And Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 37:6	Then the word of Yehovah came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 37:7	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, Thus you shall say to the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Jeremiah 37:8	And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
Jeremiah 37:9	Thus says Yehovah, Do not deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
Jeremiah 37:10	For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained only wounded men among them, yet they would rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Jeremiah 37:11	And it happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Jeremiah 37:12	then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah 37:13	And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are deserting to the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah 37:14	Then Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not deserting to the Chaldeans. But he did not hearken to him; so Irijah laid hold of Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremiah 37:15	And the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Jeremiah 37:16	When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jeremiah 37:17	then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 37:18	Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, In what have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Jeremiah 37:19	Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Jeremiah 37:20	And now hear, please, O my lord the king: let my supplication, please, be presented before you, that you do not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Jeremiah 37:21	Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 38:1	And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
Jeremiah 38:2	Thus says Yehovah, He who abides in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.
Jeremiah 38:3	Thus says Yehovah, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Jeremiah 38:4	Then the princes said to the king, Let this man, we beg you, be put to death; since he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm.
Jeremiah 38:5	And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not one who can do anything against you.
Jeremiah 38:6	Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, which was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Jeremiah 38:7	Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
Jeremiah 38:8	Ebed-melech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Jeremiah 38:9	My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.
Jeremiah 38:10	Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.
Jeremiah 38:11	So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 38:12	And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Jeremiah 38:13	So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 38:14	Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Yehovah: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a thing; hide nothing from me.
Jeremiah 38:15	Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not hearken to me.
Jeremiah 38:16	So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Yehovah lives, who made this soul for us, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.
Jeremiah 38:17	Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Yehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If you will go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, and your house.
Jeremiah 38:18	But if you will not go out to the king of Babylon’s princes, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.
Jeremiah 38:19	And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
Jeremiah 38:20	But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of Yehovah, in that which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.
Jeremiah 38:21	But if you refuse to go out, this is the word that Yehovah has shown me:
Jeremiah 38:22	Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought out to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Your familiar friends have incited you, and have prevailed over you: now that your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.
Jeremiah 38:23	And they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
Jeremiah 38:24	Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.
Jeremiah 38:25	But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and say to you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:
Jeremiah 38:26	then you shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
Jeremiah 38:27	Then all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
Jeremiah 38:28	So Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it happened when Jerusalem was taken
Jeremiah 39:1	(in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
Jeremiah 39:2	in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city),
Jeremiah 39:3	that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, that is, Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:4	And it happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
Jeremiah 39:5	But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he passed judgment upon him.
Jeremiah 39:6	Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
Jeremiah 39:7	Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:8	And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 39:9	Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who went over to him, and the residue of the people who remained.
Jeremiah 39:10	But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Jeremiah 39:11	Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah 39:12	Take him, and look after him well, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to you.
Jeremiah 39:13	So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
Jeremiah 39:14	they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home. So he dwelt among the people.
Jeremiah 39:15	Now the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah 39:16	Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before you in that day.
Jeremiah 39:17	But I will deliver you in that day, says Yehovah; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Jeremiah 39:18	For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a prey to you; because you have put your trust in me, says Yehovah.
Jeremiah 40:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from Yehovah, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.
Jeremiah 40:2	And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, Yehovah your God pronounced this evil upon this place;
Jeremiah 40:3	and Yehovah has brought it, and done just as he spoke: because you have sinned against Yehovah, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.
Jeremiah 40:4	And now, behold, I release you this day from the chains which are upon your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look after you well; but if it seems ill to you to come with me into Babylon, refrain: behold, all the land is before you; wherever it seems good and right to you to go, go there.
Jeremiah 40:5	Now while he had not yet gone back, Go back then, he said, to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a present, and let him go.
Jeremiah 40:6	Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.
Jeremiah 40:7	Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and some of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Jeremiah 40:8	then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, that is, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Jeremiah 40:9	And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, Do not fear to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Jeremiah 40:10	As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come to us: but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.
Jeremiah 40:11	Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;
Jeremiah 40:12	then all the Jews returned out of all places where they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance.
Jeremiah 40:13	Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Jeremiah 40:14	and said to him, Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.
Jeremiah 40:15	Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, please, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he take your life, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
Jeremiah 40:16	But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, You shall not do this thing; for you speak falsely of Ishmael.
Jeremiah 41:1	Now it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Jeremiah 41:2	Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Jeremiah 41:3	Ishmael also slew all the Jews who were with him, that is, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.
Jeremiah 41:4	And it happened the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Jeremiah 41:5	that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Yehovah.
Jeremiah 41:6	And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it happened, as he met them, he said to them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
Jeremiah 41:7	And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men who were with him.
Jeremiah 41:8	But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, Do not slay us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he refrained, and did not slay them among their brothers.
Jeremiah 41:9	Now the pit into which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, by the side of Gedaliah (it was the one which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were slain.
Jeremiah 41:10	Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people who were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon.
Jeremiah 41:11	But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Jeremiah 41:12	then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Jeremiah 41:13	Now it happened that, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then they were glad.
Jeremiah 41:14	So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.
Jeremiah 41:15	But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.
Jeremiah 41:16	Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.
Jeremiah 41:17	And they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Jeremiah 41:18	because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
Jeremiah 42:1	Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Jeremiah 42:2	and said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beg you, our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to Yehovah your God, even for all this remnant (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes behold us),
Jeremiah 42:3	that Yehovah your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
Jeremiah 42:4	Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray to Yehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatever thing Yehovah shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you.
Jeremiah 42:5	Then they said to Jeremiah, May Yehovah be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which Yehovah your God shall send you to us.
Jeremiah 42:6	Whether it is good, or whether it is evil, we will obey the voice of Yehovah our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yehovah our God.
Jeremiah 42:7	And it happened after ten days, that the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 42:8	Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Jeremiah 42:9	and said to them, Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him:
Jeremiah 42:10	If you will still abide in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent of the evil that I have done to you.
Jeremiah 42:11	Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says Yehovah: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Jeremiah 42:12	And I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Jeremiah 42:13	But if you say, We will not dwell in this land; so that you do not obey the voice of Yehovah your God,
Jeremiah 42:14	saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
Jeremiah 42:15	now therefore hear the word of Yehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Jeremiah 42:16	then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, of which you are afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.
Jeremiah 42:17	So it shall be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
Jeremiah 42:18	For thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath shall be poured out upon you, when you enter into Egypt; and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.
Jeremiah 42:19	Yehovah has spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Do not go into Egypt: know certainly that I have testified to you this day.
Jeremiah 42:20	For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to Yehovah your God, saying, Pray for us to Yehovah our God; and according to all that Yehovah our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it.
Jeremiah 42:21	And I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of Yehovah your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.
Jeremiah 42:22	Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to sojourn.
Jeremiah 43:1	And it happened that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of Yehovah their God, with which Yehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Jeremiah 43:2	then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: Yehovah our God has not sent you to say, You shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there;
Jeremiah 43:3	but Baruch the son of Neriah incites you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.
Jeremiah 43:4	So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey the voice of Yehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah 43:5	But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;
Jeremiah 43:6	the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
Jeremiah 43:7	And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not obey the voice of Yehovah: and they came to Tahpanhes.
Jeremiah 43:8	Then the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Jeremiah 43:9	Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
Jeremiah 43:10	and say to them, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
Jeremiah 43:11	And he shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; those who are for death shall be given to death, and those who are for captivity to captivity, and those who are for the sword to the sword.
Jeremiah 43:12	And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go out from there in peace.
Jeremiah 43:13	He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
Jeremiah 44:1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who dwelt in the land of Egypt, who dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Jeremiah 44:2	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
Jeremiah 44:3	because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they did not know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
Jeremiah 44:4	However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.
Jeremiah 44:5	But they did not hearken, nor incline their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
Jeremiah 44:6	Therefore my wrath and my anger were poured out, and were kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.
Jeremiah 44:7	Therefore now thus says Yehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and nursing child, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining;
Jeremiah 44:8	in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to sojourn; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Jeremiah 44:9	Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 44:10	They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Jeremiah 44:11	Therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
Jeremiah 44:12	And I will take the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt they shall fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Jeremiah 44:13	For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Jeremiah 44:14	so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return except those who escape.
Jeremiah 44:15	Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 44:16	As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yehovah, we will not hearken to you.
Jeremiah 44:17	But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
Jeremiah 44:18	But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jeremiah 44:19	And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
Jeremiah 44:20	Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him that answer, saying,
Jeremiah 44:21	The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Yehovah remember them, and did it not come into his mind?
Jeremiah 44:22	so that Yehovah could no longer bear it, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed; therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
Jeremiah 44:23	Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Yehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Yehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day.
Jeremiah 44:24	Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yehovah, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
Jeremiah 44:25	Thus says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.
Jeremiah 44:26	Therefore hear the word of Yehovah, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says Yehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Yehovah lives.
Jeremiah 44:27	Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there is an end of them.
Jeremiah 44:28	And those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Jeremiah 44:29	And this shall be the sign to you, says Yehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
Jeremiah 44:30	Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.
Jeremiah 45:1	The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
Jeremiah 45:2	Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
Jeremiah 45:3	You said, Woe is me now! for Yehovah has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
Jeremiah 45:4	Thus you shall say to him, Thus says Yehovah: Behold, that which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.
Jeremiah 45:5	And do you seek great things for yourself? do not seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says Yehovah; but your life I will give to you for a prey in all places where you go.

Jeremiah 46:9	Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
Jeremiah 46:10	For that day is a day of the Lord, Yehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself on his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiated, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Yehovah of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

Jeremiah 46:28	Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, says Yehovah; for I am with you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will by no means leave you unpunished.

Jeremiah 52:14	And all the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Jeremiah 52:15	Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the deserters who had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
Jeremiah 52:16	But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and farmers.
Jeremiah 52:17	And the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yehovah, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.
Jeremiah 52:18	The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered, they took away.
Jeremiah 52:19	And the cups, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the bowls—that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,—the captain of the guard took away.
Jeremiah 52:20	The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of Yehovah—the bronze of all these vessels was beyond weight.
Jeremiah 52:21	And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference; and its thickness was four fingers: it was hollow.
Jeremiah 52:22	And a capital of bronze was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze: and the second pillar also had the same as these, and pomegranates.
Jeremiah 52:23	And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network all around.
Jeremiah 52:24	And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
Jeremiah 52:25	and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
Jeremiah 52:26	And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Jeremiah 52:27	And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Jeremiah 52:28	This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
Jeremiah 52:29	in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
Jeremiah 52:30	in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.
Jeremiah 52:31	And it happened in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison;
Jeremiah 52:32	and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
Jeremiah 52:33	and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
Jeremiah 52:34	and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Lamentations 1:1	How the city sits solitary, that was full of people! She has become as a widow, that was great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces has become tributary!
Lamentations 1:2	She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; Among all her lovers she has none to comfort her: All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies.
Lamentations 1:3	Judah has gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude; She dwells among the nations, she finds no rest: All her persecutors overtook her within the straits.
Lamentations 1:4	The ways of Zion mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly; All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh: Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
Lamentations 1:5	Her adversaries have become the head, her enemies prosper; For Yehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: Her young children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
Lamentations 1:6	And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty has departed: Her princes have become like harts that find no pasture, And they have gone without strength before the pursuer.
Lamentations 1:7	Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old: When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none helped her, The adversaries saw her, they mocked at her desolations.
Lamentations 1:8	Jerusalem has grievously sinned; therefore she has become as an unclean thing; All that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: Indeed, she sighs, and turns backward.
Lamentations 1:9	Her filthiness was in her skirts; she did not remember her latter end; Therefore she has come down wonderfully; she has no comforter: Behold, O Yehovah, my affliction; for the enemy has magnified himself.
Lamentations 1:10	The adversary has spread out his hand on all her pleasant things: For she has seen that the nations have entered into her sanctuary, Concerning whom you commanded that they should not enter into your assembly.
Lamentations 1:11	All her people sigh, they seek bread; They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul: See, O Yehovah, and behold; for I have become abject.
Lamentations 1:12	Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which is brought on me, With which Yehovah has afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Lamentations 1:13	From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: He has made me desolate and faint all the day.
Lamentations 1:14	The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand; They are knit together, they have come up on my neck; he has made my strength to fail: The Lord has delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand.
Lamentations 1:15	The Lord has rejected all my mighty men in the midst of me; He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men: The Lord has trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah.
Lamentations 1:16	For these things I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water; Because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me: My children are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.
Lamentations 1:17	Zion spreads out her hands; there is none to comfort her; Yehovah has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries: Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.
Lamentations 1:18	Yehovah is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: Please hear, all you peoples, and behold my sorrow: My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
Lamentations 1:19	I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: My priests and my elders breathed their last in the city, While they sought food for themselves to refresh their souls.
Lamentations 1:20	Behold, O Yehovah; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled; My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Abroad the sword bereaves, at home there is as death.
Lamentations 1:21	They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that you have done it: You will bring the day that you have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.
Lamentations 1:22	Let all their wickedness come before you; And do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
Lamentations 2:1	How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel, And has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
Lamentations 2:2	The Lord has swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and has not pitied: He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; he has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
Lamentations 2:3	He has cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel; He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: And he has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
Lamentations 2:4	He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as an adversary, And has slain all who were pleasant to the eye: In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
Lamentations 2:5	The Lord has become as an enemy, he has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all her palaces, he has destroyed his strongholds; And he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lamentations 2:6	And he has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly: Yehovah has caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, And has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Lamentations 2:7	The Lord has cast off his altar, he has abhorred his sanctuary; He has given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces: They have made a noise in the house of Yehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
Lamentations 2:8	Yehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; And he has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
Lamentations 2:9	Her gates are sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken her bars: Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; Indeed, her prophets find no vision from Yehovah.
Lamentations 2:10	The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, they keep silence; They have cast up dust on their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Lamentations 2:11	My eyes fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Lamentations 2:12	They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? When they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, When their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
Lamentations 2:13	What shall I testify to you? what shall I liken to you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
Lamentations 2:14	Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; And they have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captivity, But have seen for you false oracles and causes of banishment.
Lamentations 2:15	All that pass by clap their hands at you; They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
Lamentations 2:16	All your enemies have opened their mouth wide against you; They hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up; Certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
Lamentations 2:17	Yehovah has done that which he purposed; he has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old; He has thrown down, and has not pitied: And he has caused the enemy to rejoice over you; he has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
Lamentations 2:18	Their heart cried to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no respite; do not let the apple of your eye cease.
Lamentations 2:19	Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.
Lamentations 2:20	See, O Yehovah, and behold to whom you have done thus! Shall the women eat their fruit, the children who are dandled in the hands? Shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Lamentations 2:21	The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets; My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword: You have slain them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered, and not pitied.
Lamentations 2:22	You have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side; And there was none that escaped or remained in the day of Yehovah’s anger: Those whom I have dandled and brought up my enemy has consumed.
Lamentations 3:1	I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
Lamentations 3:2	He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.
Lamentations 3:3	Surely against me he turns his hand again and again all the day.
Lamentations 3:4	My flesh and my skin he has made old; he has broken my bones.
Lamentations 3:5	He has built against me, and surrounded me with gall and travail.
Lamentations 3:6	He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
Lamentations 3:7	He has walled me in, that I cannot go out; he has made my chain heavy.
Lamentations 3:8	Indeed, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.
Lamentations 3:9	He has walled up my ways with hewn stone; he has made my paths crooked.
Lamentations 3:10	He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
Lamentations 3:11	He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he has made me desolate.
Lamentations 3:12	He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
Lamentations 3:13	He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.
Lamentations 3:14	I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all the day.
Lamentations 3:15	He has filled me with bitterness, he has sated me with wormwood.
Lamentations 3:16	He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered me with ashes.
Lamentations 3:17	And you have removed my soul far off from peace; I forgot prosperity.
Lamentations 3:18	And I said, My strength has perished, and my expectation from Yehovah.
Lamentations 3:19	Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
Lamentations 3:20	My soul has them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
Lamentations 3:21	This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
Lamentations 3:22	It is of Yehovah’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail.
Lamentations 3:23	They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:24	Yehovah is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in him.
Lamentations 3:25	Yehovah is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
Lamentations 3:26	It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yehovah.
Lamentations 3:27	It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Lamentations 3:28	Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
Lamentations 3:29	Let him put his mouth in the dust, if perhaps there may be hope.
Lamentations 3:30	Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled full with reproach.
Lamentations 3:31	For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
Lamentations 3:32	For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
Lamentations 3:33	For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
Lamentations 3:34	To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
Lamentations 3:35	To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
Lamentations 3:36	To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
Lamentations 3:37	Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord does not command it?
Lamentations 3:38	Out of the mouth of the Most High do not evil and good come?
Lamentations 3:39	Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Lamentations 3:40	Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yehovah.
Lamentations 3:41	Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
Lamentations 3:42	We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.
Lamentations 3:43	You have covered with anger and pursued us; you have slain, you have not pitied.
Lamentations 3:44	You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
Lamentations 3:45	You have made us an offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
Lamentations 3:46	All our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
Lamentations 3:47	Fear and the pit have come on us, devastation and destruction.
Lamentations 3:48	My eye runs down with streams of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lamentations 3:49	My eye pours down, and does not cease, without any intermission,
Lamentations 3:50	Until Yehovah looks down, and beholds from heaven.
Lamentations 3:51	My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
Lamentations 3:52	They have chased me hard like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.
Lamentations 3:53	They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone on me.
Lamentations 3:54	Waters flowed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
Lamentations 3:55	I called on your name, O Yehovah, out of the lowest dungeon.
Lamentations 3:56	You heard my voice; do not hide your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
Lamentations 3:57	You drew near in the day that I called on you; you said, Do not fear.
Lamentations 3:58	O Lord, you have pleaded the causes of my soul; you have redeemed my life.
Lamentations 3:59	O Yehovah, you have seen my wrong; judge my cause.
Lamentations 3:60	You have seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
Lamentations 3:61	You have heard their reproach, O Yehovah, and all their devices against me,
Lamentations 3:62	The lips of those who rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
Lamentations 3:63	Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
Lamentations 3:64	You will render to them a recompense, O Yehovah, according to the work of their hands.
Lamentations 3:65	You will give them hardness of heart, your curse to them.
Lamentations 3:66	You will pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of Yehovah.
Lamentations 4:1	How the gold has become dim! how the most pure gold has changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
Lamentations 4:2	The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How they are esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Lamentations 4:3	Even the jackals draw out the breast, they nurse their young ones: The daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
Lamentations 4:4	The tongue of the nursing child cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst: The young children ask bread, and no man breaks it to them.
Lamentations 4:5	Those who fed delicately are desolate in the streets: Those who were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
Lamentations 4:6	For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid on her.
Lamentations 4:7	Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire.
Lamentations 4:8	Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: Their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered, it has become like a stick.
Lamentations 4:9	Those who are slain with the sword are better than those who are slain with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
Lamentations 4:10	The hands of the compassionate women have boiled their own children; They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lamentations 4:11	Yehovah has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his fierce anger; And he has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
Lamentations 4:12	The kings of the earth did not believe, nor all the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
Lamentations 4:13	It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
Lamentations 4:14	They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments.
Lamentations 4:15	Depart, they cried to them, Unclean! depart, depart, do not touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn here.
Lamentations 4:16	The anger of Yehovah has scattered them; he will no more regard them: They did not respect the persons of the priests, they did not favor the elders.
Lamentations 4:17	Our eyes still fail in looking for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
Lamentations 4:18	They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets: Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end has come.
Lamentations 4:19	Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens: They chased us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
Lamentations 4:20	The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Yehovah, was taken in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
Lamentations 4:21	Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, who dwell in the land of Uz: The cup shall pass through to you also; you shall be drunk, and shall make yourself naked.
Lamentations 4:22	The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry you away into captivity: He will visit your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins.
Lamentations 5:1	Remember, O Yehovah, what has come on us: Behold, and see our reproach.
Lamentations 5:2	Our inheritance has been turned to strangers, Our houses to aliens.
Lamentations 5:3	We are orphans and fatherless; Our mothers are as widows.
Lamentations 5:4	We have drunk our water for money; Our wood is sold to us.
Lamentations 5:5	Our pursuers are on our necks: We are weary, and have no rest.
Lamentations 5:6	We have given the hand to the Egyptians, And to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Lamentations 5:7	Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.
Lamentations 5:8	Servants rule over us: There is none to deliver us out of their hand.
Lamentations 5:9	We get our bread at the peril of our lives, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
Lamentations 5:10	Our skin is black like an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.
Lamentations 5:11	They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.
Lamentations 5:12	Princes were hanged up by their hand: The faces of elders were not honored.
Lamentations 5:13	The young men bore the mill; And the children stumbled under the wood.
Lamentations 5:14	The elders have ceased from the gate, The young men from their music.
Lamentations 5:15	The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance is turned into mourning.
Lamentations 5:16	The crown has fallen from our head: Woe to us! for we have sinned.
Lamentations 5:17	For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;
Lamentations 5:18	For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate: The foxes walk on it.
Lamentations 5:19	You, O Yehovah, abide for ever; Your throne is from generation to generation.
Lamentations 5:20	Why do you forget us for ever, And forsake us so long a time?
Lamentations 5:21	Turn us to yourself, O Yehovah, and we shall be turned; Renew our days as of old.
Lamentations 5:22	But you have utterly rejected us; You are very angry against us.
Ezekiel 1:1	Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Ezekiel 1:2	On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
Ezekiel 1:3	the word of Yehovah came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yehovah was there on him.
Ezekiel 1:4	And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness all around it, and out of the midst of it as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.
Ezekiel 1:5	And out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man;
Ezekiel 1:6	and each one had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.
Ezekiel 1:7	And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
Ezekiel 1:8	And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:
Ezekiel 1:9	their wings were joined one to another; they did not turn when they went; they each went straight forward.
Ezekiel 1:10	As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 1:11	And their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings of each one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Ezekiel 1:12	And they each went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they did not turn when they went.
Ezekiel 1:13	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 lightning.
Ezekiel 1:14	And the living creatures ran and returned like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Ezekiel 1:15	Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of their four faces.
Ezekiel 1:16	The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.
Ezekiel 1:17	When they went, they went in their four directions: they did not turn when they went.
Ezekiel 1:18	As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.
Ezekiel 1:19	And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Ezekiel 1:20	Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there the spirit was to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Ezekiel 1:21	When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Ezekiel 1:22	And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched out over their heads above.
Ezekiel 1:23	And under the firmament their wings were straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.
Ezekiel 1:24	And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Ezekiel 1:25	And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Ezekiel 1:26	And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, like the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness like the appearance of a man on it above.
Ezekiel 1:27	And I saw as it were glowing metal, like the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness all around him.
Ezekiel 1:28	Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yehovah. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one who spoke.
Ezekiel 2:1	And he said to me, Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.
Ezekiel 2:2	And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
Ezekiel 2:3	And he said to me, Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, who have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
Ezekiel 2:4	And the children are impudent and stiff-hearted: I send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 2:5	And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house), yet they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
Ezekiel 2:6	And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 2:7	And you shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
Ezekiel 2:8	But you, son of man, hear what I say to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat what I give you.
Ezekiel 2:9	And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and, look, a scroll of a book was in it;
Ezekiel 2:10	and he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ezekiel 3:1	And he said to me, Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 3:2	So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Ezekiel 3:3	And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this scroll that I give you. Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth like honey for sweetness.
Ezekiel 3:4	And he said to me, Son of man, go, get yourself to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
Ezekiel 3:5	For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Ezekiel 3:6	not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
Ezekiel 3:7	But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Ezekiel 3:8	Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Ezekiel 3:9	Like adamant harder than flint I have made your forehead: do not fear them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 3:10	Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
Ezekiel 3:11	And go, get yourself to those of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Ezekiel 3:12	Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Yehovah from his place.
Ezekiel 3:13	And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Ezekiel 3:14	So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Yehovah was strong on me.
Ezekiel 3:15	Then I came to those of the captivity at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Ezekiel 3:16	And it happened at the end of seven days, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 3:17	Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Ezekiel 3:18	When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.
Ezekiel 3:19	Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
Ezekiel 3:20	Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
Ezekiel 3:21	Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.
Ezekiel 3:22	And the hand of Yehovah was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.
Ezekiel 3:23	Then I arose, and went out into the plain: and, behold, the glory of Yehovah stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Ezekiel 3:24	Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.
Ezekiel 3:25	But you, son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
Ezekiel 3:26	and I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute, and shall not be a reprover to them; for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 3:27	But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 4:1	You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
Ezekiel 4:2	and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
Ezekiel 4:3	And take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 4:4	Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel 4:5	For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 4:6	And again, when you have completed these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, I have appointed it to you.
Ezekiel 4:7	And you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
Ezekiel 4:8	And, behold, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn from one side to the other, until you have completed the days of your siege.
Ezekiel 4:9	Also take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread from them for yourself; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat of it.
Ezekiel 4:10	And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
Ezekiel 4:11	And you shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
Ezekiel 4:12	And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man.
Ezekiel 4:13	And Yehovah said, Even so shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.
Ezekiel 4:14	Then I said, Ah Lord Yehovah! behold, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now I have not eaten what dies of itself, or is torn by beasts; nor has abominable flesh come into my mouth.
Ezekiel 4:15	Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow’s dung for man’s dung, and you shall prepare your bread on it.
Ezekiel 4:16	Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
Ezekiel 4:17	that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and waste away in their iniquity.
Ezekiel 5:1	And you, son of man, take a sharp sword; like a barber’s razor you shall take it for yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
Ezekiel 5:2	A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword all around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel 5:3	And you shall take from it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
Ezekiel 5:4	And of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 5:5	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are all around her.
Ezekiel 5:6	And she has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Ezekiel 5:7	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, nor have kept my ordinances, nor have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
Ezekiel 5:8	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
Ezekiel 5:9	And I will do in you what I have not done, and the like of which I will not do any more, because of all your abominations.
Ezekiel 5:10	Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you I will scatter to all the winds.
Ezekiel 5:11	Therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; my eye shall not spare, and I also will have no pity.
Ezekiel 5:12	A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine they shall be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel 5:13	Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted: and they shall know that I, Yehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
Ezekiel 5:14	Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
Ezekiel 5:15	So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes (I, Yehovah, have spoken it);
Ezekiel 5:16	when I send against them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. And I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;
Ezekiel 5:17	and I will send on you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 6:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 6:2	Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
Ezekiel 6:3	and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yehovah: Thus says the Lord Yehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
Ezekiel 6:4	And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Ezekiel 6:5	And I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.
Ezekiel 6:6	In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Ezekiel 6:7	And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 6:8	Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you shall have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.
Ezekiel 6:9	And those of you who escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how I have been broken by their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and by their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Ezekiel 6:10	And they shall know that I am Yehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
Ezekiel 6:11	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Ezekiel 6:12	He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus I will accomplish my wrath on them.
Ezekiel 6:13	And you shall know that I am Yehovah, when their slain men are among their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.
Ezekiel 6:14	And I will stretch out my hand against them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 7:1	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 7:2	And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yehovah to the land of Israel, An end: the end has come on the four corners of the land.
Ezekiel 7:3	Now the end is on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
Ezekiel 7:4	And my eye shall not spare you, nor will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations shall be in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 7:5	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it comes.
Ezekiel 7:6	An end has come, the end has come; it awakes against you; behold, it comes.
Ezekiel 7:7	Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land: the time has come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on the mountains.
Ezekiel 7:8	Now I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways; and I will bring on you all your abominations.
Ezekiel 7:9	And my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity: I will bring on you according to your ways; and your abominations shall be in the midst of you; and you shall know that I, Yehovah, strike.
Ezekiel 7:10	Behold, the day, behold, it comes: your doom has gone forth; the rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
Ezekiel 7:11	Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: nor shall there be eminence among them.
Ezekiel 7:12	The time has come, the day draws near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
Ezekiel 7:13	For the seller shall not return to what is sold, although they are still alive: for the vision concerns its whole multitude, none shall return; nor shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Ezekiel 7:14	They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goes to the battle; for my wrath is on all its multitude.
Ezekiel 7:15	The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine within: he who is in the field shall die by the sword; and he who is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Ezekiel 7:16	But those of them who escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, each one in his iniquity.
Ezekiel 7:17	All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
Ezekiel 7:18	They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
Ezekiel 7:19	They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be like an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Yehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, nor fill their bowels; because it has been the stumbling block of their iniquity.
Ezekiel 7:20	As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things in it: therefore I have made it to them like an unclean thing.
Ezekiel 7:21	And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it.
Ezekiel 7:22	My face I will also turn from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.
Ezekiel 7:23	Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
Ezekiel 7:24	Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned.
Ezekiel 7:25	Destruction comes; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
Ezekiel 7:26	Disaster shall come upon disaster, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision from the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Ezekiel 7:27	The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do to them according to their way, and according to their deserts I will judge them; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 8:1	And it happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Yehovah fell there on me.
Ezekiel 8:2	Then I looked, and, look, a likeness like the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, like the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
Ezekiel 8:3	And he stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that faces toward the north; where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.
Ezekiel 8:4	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
Ezekiel 8:5	Then he said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, north of the gate of the altar, this image of jealousy in the entrance.
Ezekiel 8:6	And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations.
Ezekiel 8:7	And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
Ezekiel 8:8	Then he said to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold, a door.
Ezekiel 8:9	And he said to me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
Ezekiel 8:10	So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed on the wall all around.
Ezekiel 8:11	And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
Ezekiel 8:12	Then he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Yehovah does not see us; Yehovah has forsaken the land.
Ezekiel 8:13	He said also to me, You shall again see yet other great abominations which they do.
Ezekiel 8:14	Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Yehovah’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
Ezekiel 8:15	Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you shall again see yet greater abominations than these.
Ezekiel 8:16	And he brought me into the inner court of Yehovah’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Yehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the temple of Yehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing down to the sun toward the east.
Ezekiel 8:17	Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and, look, they put the branch to their nose.
Ezekiel 8:18	Therefore I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.
Ezekiel 9:1	Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Ezekiel 9:2	And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
Ezekiel 9:3	And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, on which it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
Ezekiel 9:4	And Yehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in its midst.
Ezekiel 9:5	And to the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, and strike: let not your eye spare, nor have pity;
Ezekiel 9:6	slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but do not come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began with the old men who were before the house.
Ezekiel 9:7	And he said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and struck in the city.
Ezekiel 9:8	And it happened, while they were striking, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yehovah! will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?
Ezekiel 9:9	Then he said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion of justice: for they say, Yehovah has forsaken the land, and Yehovah does not see.
Ezekiel 9:10	And as for me also, my eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.
Ezekiel 9:11	And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
Ezekiel 10:1	Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, like the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Ezekiel 10:2	And he spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Ezekiel 10:3	Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Ezekiel 10:4	And the glory of Yehovah mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yehovah’s glory.
Ezekiel 10:5	And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
Ezekiel 10:6	And it happened, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:7	And the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
Ezekiel 10:8	And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:9	And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
Ezekiel 10:10	And as for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:11	When they went, they went in their four directions: they did not turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they did not turn as they went.
Ezekiel 10:12	And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
Ezekiel 10:13	As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing the whirling wheels.
Ezekiel 10:14	And each one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel 10:15	And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
Ezekiel 10:16	And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also did not turn from beside them.
Ezekiel 10:17	When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Ezekiel 10:18	And the glory of Yehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
Ezekiel 10:19	And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Yehovah’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel 10:20	This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
Ezekiel 10:21	Each one had four faces, and each one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:22	And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they each went straight forward.
Ezekiel 11:1	Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of Yehovah’s house, which faces eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ezekiel 11:2	And he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Ezekiel 11:3	who say, The time is not near to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
Ezekiel 11:4	Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
Ezekiel 11:5	And the Spirit of Yehovah fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, Thus says Yehovah: Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Ezekiel 11:6	You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.
Ezekiel 11:7	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but you shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
Ezekiel 11:8	You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 11:9	And I will bring you forth out of its midst, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ezekiel 11:10	You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 11:11	This city shall not be your caldron, nor shall you be the flesh in its midst; I will judge you in the border of Israel;
Ezekiel 11:12	and you shall know that I am Yehovah: for you have not walked in my statutes, nor have you executed my ordinances, but have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are around you.
Ezekiel 11:13	And it happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Yehovah! will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Ezekiel 11:14	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 11:15	Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far from Yehovah; to us this land is given for a possession.
Ezekiel 11:16	Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Though I have removed them far off among the nations, and though I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be a sanctuary to them for a little while in the countries where they have come.
Ezekiel 11:17	Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 11:18	And they shall come there, and they shall take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
Ezekiel 11:19	And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
Ezekiel 11:20	that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 11:21	But as for those whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 11:22	Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel 11:23	And the glory of Yehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ezekiel 11:24	And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Ezekiel 11:25	Then I spoke to those of the captivity all the things that Yehovah had shown me.
Ezekiel 12:1	The word of Yehovah also came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:2	Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and do not see, who have ears to hear, and do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 12:3	Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile, and go into exile by day in their sight; and you shall go into exile from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 12:4	And you shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile; and you shall go forth yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go forth into exile.
Ezekiel 12:5	Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry it out through it.
Ezekiel 12:6	In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark; you shall cover your face, that you may not see the land: for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 12:7	And I did so as I was commanded: I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought it out in the dark, and carried it on my shoulder in their sight.
Ezekiel 12:8	And in the morning the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:9	Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?
Ezekiel 12:10	Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are.
Ezekiel 12:11	Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so shall it be done to them; they shall go into exile, into captivity.
Ezekiel 12:12	And the prince who is among them shall bear it on his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry it out through it: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes.
Ezekiel 12:13	My net also I will spread over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there.
Ezekiel 12:14	And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Ezekiel 12:15	And they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
Ezekiel 12:16	But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 12:17	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:18	Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness;
Ezekiel 12:19	and say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Yehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and stripped of all that is in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.
Ezekiel 12:20	And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 12:21	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:22	Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?
Ezekiel 12:23	Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will make this proverb cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.
Ezekiel 12:24	For there shall no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 12:25	For I am Yehovah; I will speak, and the word that I speak shall be performed; it shall no longer be deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 12:26	Again the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 12:27	Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.
Ezekiel 12:28	Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: None of my words shall be deferred any more, but the word which I speak shall be performed, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 13:2	Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the word of Yehovah:
Ezekiel 13:3	Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Ezekiel 13:4	O Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
Ezekiel 13:5	You have not gone up into the breaches, nor built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle on the day of Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:6	They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, Yehovah says; but Yehovah has not sent them: and they have made men hope that the word would be confirmed.
Ezekiel 13:7	Have you not seen a false vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination, in that you say, Yehovah says; although I have not spoken?
Ezekiel 13:8	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:9	And my hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:10	Because, even because they have misled my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they daub it with whitewash:
Ezekiel 13:11	say to those who daub it with whitewash, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and you, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall tear it.
Ezekiel 13:12	Look, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where is the daubing with which you have daubed it?
Ezekiel 13:13	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
Ezekiel 13:14	So I will break down the wall that you have daubed with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in its midst: and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:15	Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have daubed it with whitewash; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who daubed it;
Ezekiel 13:16	that is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:17	And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
Ezekiel 13:18	and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Woe to the women who sew bands on all wrists, and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and keep souls alive for yourselves?
Ezekiel 13:19	And you have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to keep alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.
Ezekiel 13:20	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against your bands, with which you hunt the souls there to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that you hunt to make them fly.
Ezekiel 13:21	Your veils also I will tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no longer be in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 13:22	Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad, and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be kept alive;
Ezekiel 13:23	Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 14:1	Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
Ezekiel 14:2	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 14:3	Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?
Ezekiel 14:4	Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I Yehovah will answer him in it according to the multitude of his idols;
Ezekiel 14:5	that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Ezekiel 14:6	Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Return, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Ezekiel 14:7	For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire of me for himself; I Yehovah will answer him by myself:
Ezekiel 14:8	and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 14:9	And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, Yehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Ezekiel 14:10	And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks to him;
Ezekiel 14:11	that the house of Israel may no longer go astray from me, nor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 14:12	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 14:13	Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand against it, and break its staff of bread, and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and beast;
Ezekiel 14:14	though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 14:15	If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;
Ezekiel 14:16	though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
Ezekiel 14:17	Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and beast;
Ezekiel 14:18	though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they alone would be delivered themselves.
Ezekiel 14:19	Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;
Ezekiel 14:20	though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness.
Ezekiel 14:21	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!
Ezekiel 14:22	Yet, behold, in it shall be left a remnant that shall be brought out, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come out to you, and you shall see their way and their deeds; and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on it.
Ezekiel 14:23	And they shall comfort you, when you see their way and their deeds; and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 15:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 15:2	Son of man, what is the vine more than any tree, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Ezekiel 15:3	Shall wood be taken from it to make any work? or will men take a peg of it to hang any vessel on?
Ezekiel 15:4	Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?
Ezekiel 15:5	Behold, when it was whole, it was fit for no work: how much less, when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be fit for any work!
Ezekiel 15:6	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Like the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 15:7	And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I set my face against them.
Ezekiel 15:8	And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 16:1	Again the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 16:2	Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;
Ezekiel 16:3	and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah to Jerusalem: Your birth and your nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
Ezekiel 16:4	And as for your nativity, on the day you were born your navel was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Ezekiel 16:5	No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because your person was abhorred, on the day that you were born.
Ezekiel 16:6	And when I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.
Ezekiel 16:7	I caused you to multiply like what grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare.
Ezekiel 16:8	Now when I passed by you, and looked on you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yehovah, and you became mine.
Ezekiel 16:9	Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.
Ezekiel 16:10	I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I wrapped you with fine linen, and covered you with silk.
Ezekiel 16:11	And I adorned you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.
Ezekiel 16:12	And I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
Ezekiel 16:13	Thus you were adorned with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
Ezekiel 16:14	And your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 16:15	But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your whoredoms on everyone who passed by; it was his.
Ezekiel 16:16	And you took some of your garments, and made for yourself high places adorned with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, nor shall it be so.
Ezekiel 16:17	You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;
Ezekiel 16:18	and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
Ezekiel 16:19	My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a sweet savor; and thus it was, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 16:20	Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and these you have sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whoredoms a small matter,
Ezekiel 16:21	that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
Ezekiel 16:22	And in all your abominations and your whoredoms you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were weltering in your blood.
Ezekiel 16:23	And it has happened after all your wickedness (woe, woe to you! says the Lord Yehovah),
Ezekiel 16:24	that you have built for yourself a vaulted place, and have made yourself a lofty place in every street.
Ezekiel 16:25	You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your whoredom.
Ezekiel 16:26	You have also committed fornication with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your whoredom, to provoke me to anger.
Ezekiel 16:27	Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your allotted food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
Ezekiel 16:28	You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you were not satisfied.
Ezekiel 16:29	You have moreover multiplied your whoredom to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied with this.
Ezekiel 16:30	How weak is your heart, says the Lord Yehovah, seeing you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute;
Ezekiel 16:31	in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been like a prostitute, in that you scorn payment.
Ezekiel 16:32	A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!
Ezekiel 16:33	They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your whoredoms.
Ezekiel 16:34	And you are different from other women in your whoredoms, in that none follows you to play the prostitute; and since you give payment, and no payment is given to you, therefore you are different.
Ezekiel 16:35	Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of Yehovah:
Ezekiel 16:36	Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your whoredoms with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
Ezekiel 16:37	therefore behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
Ezekiel 16:38	And I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
Ezekiel 16:39	I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.
Ezekiel 16:40	They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
Ezekiel 16:41	And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no payment any more.
Ezekiel 16:42	So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will no longer be angry.
Ezekiel 16:43	Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head, says the Lord Yehovah: and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations.
Ezekiel 16:44	Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Ezekiel 16:45	You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Ezekiel 16:46	And your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Ezekiel 16:47	Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
Ezekiel 16:48	As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
Ezekiel 16:49	Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; nor did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ezekiel 16:50	And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Ezekiel 16:51	Nor has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
Ezekiel 16:52	You also, bear your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you: yes, be confounded also, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
Ezekiel 16:53	And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in the midst of them;
Ezekiel 16:54	that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them.
Ezekiel 16:55	And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
Ezekiel 16:56	For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
Ezekiel 16:57	before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.
Ezekiel 16:58	You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says Yehovah.
Ezekiel 16:59	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Ezekiel 16:60	Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.
Ezekiel 16:61	Then you shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
Ezekiel 16:62	And I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am Yehovah;
Ezekiel 16:63	that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 17:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 17:2	Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
Ezekiel 17:3	and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:
Ezekiel 17:4	he broke off the topmost of its young twigs, and carried it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of merchants.
Ezekiel 17:5	He also took some of the seed of the land, and planted it in fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it like a willow tree.
Ezekiel 17:6	And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Ezekiel 17:7	There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds where it was planted, that he might water it.
Ezekiel 17:8	It was planted in good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
Ezekiel 17:9	Say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or many people can it be raised from its roots.
Ezekiel 17:10	Yes, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind touches it? it shall wither in the beds where it grew.
Ezekiel 17:11	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 17:12	Say now to the rebellious house, Do you not know what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to himself to Babylon.
Ezekiel 17:13	And he took one of the royal seed, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;
Ezekiel 17:14	that the kingdom might be lowly, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
Ezekiel 17:15	But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape who does such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
Ezekiel 17:16	As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Ezekiel 17:17	Nor shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons.
Ezekiel 17:18	For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape.
Ezekiel 17:19	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: As I live, surely my oath that he has despised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his own head.
Ezekiel 17:20	And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Ezekiel 17:21	And all his fugitives in all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 17:22	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will also take some of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will break off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:
Ezekiel 17:23	on the mountain of the height of Israel I will plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches they shall dwell.
Ezekiel 17:24	And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Yehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish: I, Yehovah, have spoken and have done it.
Ezekiel 18:1	The word of Yehovah came to me again, saying,
Ezekiel 18:2	What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
Ezekiel 18:3	As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, you shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Ezekiel 18:4	Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.
Ezekiel 18:5	But if a man is just, and does what is lawful and right,
Ezekiel 18:6	and has not eaten on the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor has defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor has come near to a woman in her impurity,
Ezekiel 18:7	and has not wronged anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, has taken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
Ezekiel 18:8	he who has not lent at interest, nor has taken any increase, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,
Ezekiel 18:9	has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 18:10	If he fathers a son who is a robber, a shedder of blood, and who does any one of these things,
Ezekiel 18:11	and who does not do any of those duties, but even has eaten on the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Ezekiel 18:12	has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restored the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committed abomination,
Ezekiel 18:13	has lent at interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be on him.
Ezekiel 18:14	Now, look, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father’s sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not do likewise;
Ezekiel 18:15	who has not eaten on the mountains, nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Ezekiel 18:16	nor has wronged anyone, has not taken anything in pledge, nor has taken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment;
Ezekiel 18:17	who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interest nor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 18:18	As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
Ezekiel 18:19	Yet you say, Why does the son not bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 18:20	The soul that sins, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.
Ezekiel 18:21	But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:22	None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
Ezekiel 18:23	Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
Ezekiel 18:24	But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.
Ezekiel 18:25	Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not just. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? are not your ways unjust?
Ezekiel 18:26	When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in it; in his iniquity that he has done he shall die.
Ezekiel 18:27	Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does what is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Ezekiel 18:28	Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel 18:29	Yet the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not just. O house of Israel, are my ways not just? are not your ways unjust?
Ezekiel 18:30	Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each one according to his ways, says the Lord Yehovah. Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Ezekiel 18:31	Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed; and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel 18:32	For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord Yehovah: therefore turn yourselves, and live.
Ezekiel 19:1	Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezekiel 19:2	and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her cubs.
Ezekiel 19:3	And she brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Ezekiel 19:4	The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks to the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 19:5	Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her cubs, and made him a young lion.
Ezekiel 19:6	And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men.
Ezekiel 19:7	And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and all that filled it, because of the noise of his roaring.
Ezekiel 19:8	Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit.
Ezekiel 19:9	And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 19:10	Your mother was like a vine, in your blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches because of many waters.
Ezekiel 19:11	And it had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches.
Ezekiel 19:12	But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them.
Ezekiel 19:13	And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.
Ezekiel 19:14	And fire has gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
Ezekiel 20:1	And it happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Yehovah, and sat before me.
Ezekiel 20:2	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 20:3	Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.
Ezekiel 20:4	Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
Ezekiel 20:5	and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: On the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yehovah your God;
Ezekiel 20:6	on that day I swore to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
Ezekiel 20:7	And I said to them, Cast away, every man, the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Yehovah your God.
Ezekiel 20:8	But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:9	But I acted for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:10	So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:11	And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
Ezekiel 20:12	Moreover I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Yehovah who sanctifies them.
Ezekiel 20:13	But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they did not walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Ezekiel 20:14	But I acted for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ezekiel 20:15	Moreover I also swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
Ezekiel 20:16	because they rejected my ordinances, and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
Ezekiel 20:17	Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I did not destroy them, nor did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:18	And I said to their children in the wilderness, Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
Ezekiel 20:19	I am Yehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;
Ezekiel 20:20	and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Yehovah your God.
Ezekiel 20:21	But the children rebelled against me; they did not walk in my statutes, nor kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them; they profaned my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:22	Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and acted for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ezekiel 20:23	Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;
Ezekiel 20:24	because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
Ezekiel 20:25	Moreover I also gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances by which they could not live;
Ezekiel 20:26	and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 20:27	Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: In this moreover your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
Ezekiel 20:28	For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered their sacrifices there, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out their drink offerings there.
Ezekiel 20:29	Then I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? So its name is called Bamah to this day.
Ezekiel 20:30	Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Do you pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and do you play the prostitute after their abominations?
Ezekiel 20:31	and when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, I will not be inquired of by you;
Ezekiel 20:32	and what comes into your mind shall never happen, in that you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Ezekiel 20:33	As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.
Ezekiel 20:34	And I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
Ezekiel 20:35	and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.
Ezekiel 20:36	As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 20:37	And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
Ezekiel 20:38	and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and those who transgress against me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 20:39	As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord Yehovah: Go, serve each one his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols.
Ezekiel 20:40	For on my holy mountain, on the mountain of the height of Israel, says the Lord Yehovah, there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land: there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Ezekiel 20:41	As a sweet savor I will accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.
Ezekiel 20:42	And you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.
Ezekiel 20:43	And there you shall remember your ways, and all your deeds, by which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have committed.
Ezekiel 20:44	And you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 20:45	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 20:46	Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;
Ezekiel 20:47	and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Yehovah: Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it.
Ezekiel 20:48	And all flesh shall see that I, Yehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.
Ezekiel 20:49	Then I said, Ah Lord Yehovah! they say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?
Ezekiel 21:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 21:2	Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
Ezekiel 21:3	and say to the land of Israel, Thus says Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Ezekiel 21:4	Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword shall go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Ezekiel 21:5	and all flesh shall know that I, Yehovah, have drawn my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
Ezekiel 21:6	Sigh therefore, son of man; with the breaking of your loins and with bitterness you shall sigh before their eyes.
Ezekiel 21:7	And it shall be, when they say to you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 21:8	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 21:9	Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yehovah: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also polished;
Ezekiel 21:10	it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is polished that it may be like lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it despises every tree.
Ezekiel 21:11	And it is given to be polished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is polished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Ezekiel 21:12	Cry and wail, son of man; for it is against my people, it is against all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.
Ezekiel 21:13	For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that despises shall be no more? says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 21:14	You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their chambers.
Ezekiel 21:15	I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made like lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
Ezekiel 21:16	Gather yourself together, go to the right, set yourself in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.
Ezekiel 21:17	I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 21:18	The word of Yehovah came to me again, saying,
Ezekiel 21:19	Also, son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; the two of them shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
Ezekiel 21:20	You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Ezekiel 21:21	For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
Ezekiel 21:22	In his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Ezekiel 21:23	And it shall be to them like a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Ezekiel 21:24	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your deeds your sins appear; because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand.
Ezekiel 21:25	And you, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Ezekiel 21:26	thus says the Lord Yehovah: Remove the turban, and take off the crown; this shall no longer be the same; exalt what is low, and abase what is high.
Ezekiel 21:27	I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
Ezekiel 21:28	And you, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is polished, to cause it to devour, that it may be like lightning;
Ezekiel 21:29	while they see false visions for you, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Ezekiel 21:30	Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
Ezekiel 21:31	And I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
Ezekiel 21:32	You shall be fuel for the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall no longer be remembered: for I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 22:1	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 22:2	And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
Ezekiel 22:3	And you shall say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
Ezekiel 22:4	You have become guilty by your blood that you have shed, and are defiled by your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
Ezekiel 22:5	Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
Ezekiel 22:6	Behold, the princes of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
Ezekiel 22:7	In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in the midst of you they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression; in you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
Ezekiel 22:8	You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Ezekiel 22:9	Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
Ezekiel 22:10	In you they have uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you they have humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
Ezekiel 22:11	And one has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
Ezekiel 22:12	In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained from your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 22:13	Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
Ezekiel 22:14	Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
Ezekiel 22:15	And I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
Ezekiel 22:16	And you shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 22:17	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 22:18	Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
Ezekiel 22:19	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 22:20	As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
Ezekiel 22:21	Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
Ezekiel 22:22	As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; and you shall know that I, Yehovah, have poured out my wrath on you.
Ezekiel 22:23	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 22:24	Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.
Ezekiel 22:25	There is a conspiracy of her prophets in its midst, like a roaring lion tearing the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.
Ezekiel 22:26	Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Ezekiel 22:27	Her princes in its midst are like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
Ezekiel 22:28	And her prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yehovah, when Yehovah has not spoken.
Ezekiel 22:29	The people of the land have practiced oppression, and committed robbery; yes, they have oppressed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.
Ezekiel 22:30	And I sought for a man among them, who would build up the wall, and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
Ezekiel 22:31	Therefore I have poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way I have brought on their heads, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 23:1	The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel 23:2	Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Ezekiel 23:3	and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there their breasts were pressed, and there the bosom of their virginity was handled.
Ezekiel 23:4	And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
Ezekiel 23:5	And Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
Ezekiel 23:6	who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
Ezekiel 23:7	And she bestowed her whoredoms on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and with all the idols of whomever she doted on she defiled herself.
Ezekiel 23:8	Nor has she left her whoredoms since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom on her.
Ezekiel 23:9	Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
Ezekiel 23:10	These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
Ezekiel 23:11	And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.
Ezekiel 23:12	She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
Ezekiel 23:13	And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
Ezekiel 23:14	And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
Ezekiel 23:15	wearing belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them princes to look at, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
Ezekiel 23:16	And as soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
Ezekiel 23:17	And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
Ezekiel 23:18	So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.
Ezekiel 23:19	Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 23:20	And she doted on their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Ezekiel 23:21	Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
Ezekiel 23:22	Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
Ezekiel 23:23	the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
Ezekiel 23:24	And they shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against you with buckler and shield and helmet all around: and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
Ezekiel 23:25	And I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant shall be devoured by the fire.
Ezekiel 23:26	They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
Ezekiel 23:27	Thus I will make your lewdness cease from you, and your whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Ezekiel 23:28	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom your soul is alienated;
Ezekiel 23:29	and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your whoredoms shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your whoredoms.
Ezekiel 23:30	These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
Ezekiel 23:31	You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.
Ezekiel 23:32	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: You shall drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large; you shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it contains much.
Ezekiel 23:33	You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
Ezekiel 23:34	You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw its shards, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 23:35	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore bear also your lewdness and your whoredoms.
Ezekiel 23:36	Yehovah said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare to them their abominations.
Ezekiel 23:37	For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; and with their idols they have committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
Ezekiel 23:38	Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Ezekiel 23:39	For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, look, thus they have done in the midst of my house.
Ezekiel 23:40	And furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and, look, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments,
Ezekiel 23:41	and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, on which you set my incense and my oil.
Ezekiel 23:42	And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort drunkards were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of the two of them, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Ezekiel 23:43	Then I said of her who was worn out in adulteries, Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.
Ezekiel 23:44	And they went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
Ezekiel 23:45	And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
Ezekiel 23:46	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.
Ezekiel 23:47	And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Ezekiel 23:48	Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.
Ezekiel 23:49	And they shall repay your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 24:1	Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 24:2	Son of man, write down the name of the day, of this very day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this very day.
Ezekiel 24:3	And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Ezekiel 24:4	gather its pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Ezekiel 24:5	Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled in the midst of it.
Ezekiel 24:6	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! take out of it piece after piece; No lot has fallen on it.
Ezekiel 24:7	For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
Ezekiel 24:8	That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
Ezekiel 24:9	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Ezekiel 24:10	Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned.
Ezekiel 24:11	Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be melted in it, that its rust may be consumed.
Ezekiel 24:12	She has wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust does not go forth out of her; her rust does not go forth by fire.
Ezekiel 24:13	In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you were not cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
Ezekiel 24:14	I, Yehovah, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, nor will I spare, nor will I relent; according to your ways, and according to your deeds, they shall judge you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 24:15	Also the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 24:16	Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.
Ezekiel 24:17	Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your turban on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat the bread of men.
Ezekiel 24:18	So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Ezekiel 24:19	And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?
Ezekiel 24:20	Then I said to them, The word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 24:21	Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and what your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.
Ezekiel 24:22	And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Ezekiel 24:23	And your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall waste away in your iniquities, and groan one to another.
Ezekiel 24:24	Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do: when this comes, then you shall know that I am the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 24:25	And you, son of man, shall it not be on the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
Ezekiel 24:26	that on that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
Ezekiel 24:27	On that day your mouth shall be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no longer mute: so you shall be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 25:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 25:2	Son of man, set your face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them:
Ezekiel 25:3	and say to the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Yehovah: Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Because you said, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:
Ezekiel 25:4	therefore, behold, I will deliver you to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in you, and make their dwellings in you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
Ezekiel 25:5	And I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels, and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks: and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 25:6	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the malice of your soul against the land of Israel;
Ezekiel 25:7	therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and will deliver you as spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 25:8	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because Moab and Seir say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations;
Ezekiel 25:9	therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,
Ezekiel 25:10	to the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations:
Ezekiel 25:11	and I will execute judgments on Moab; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 25:12	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and avenged himself on them;
Ezekiel 25:13	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah, I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword.
Ezekiel 25:14	And I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 25:15	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because the Philistines have acted in revenge, and have taken vengeance with malice of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;
Ezekiel 25:16	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Ezekiel 25:17	And I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I lay my vengeance on them.
Ezekiel 26:1	And it happened in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 26:2	Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the gate of the peoples is broken; she has turned to me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:
Ezekiel 26:3	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
Ezekiel 26:4	And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
Ezekiel 26:5	She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yehovah; and she shall become a spoil to the nations.
Ezekiel 26:6	And her daughters who are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 26:7	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will bring against Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and many people.
Ezekiel 26:8	He shall slay with the sword your daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against you, and cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
Ezekiel 26:9	And he shall set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he shall break down your towers.
Ezekiel 26:10	Because of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover you: your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city in which a breach is made.
Ezekiel 26:11	With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all your streets; he shall slay your people with the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall go down to the ground.
Ezekiel 26:12	And they shall make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise; and they shall break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses; and they shall lay your stones and your timber and your dust in the midst of the waters.
Ezekiel 26:13	And I will cause the noise of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.
Ezekiel 26:14	And I will make you a bare rock; you shall be a place for the spreading of nets; you shall be built no more: for I Yehovah have spoken it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 26:15	Thus says the Lord Yehovah to Tyre: shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
Ezekiel 26:16	Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit on the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
Ezekiel 26:17	And they shall take up a lamentation over you, and say to you, How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who dwelt there!
Ezekiel 26:18	Now the isles shall tremble on the day of your fall; yes, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at your departure.
Ezekiel 26:19	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you;
Ezekiel 26:20	then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you may not be inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 26:21	I will make you a terror, and you shall no longer have any being; though you are sought for, yet you shall never be found again, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 27:1	The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel 27:2	And you, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;
Ezekiel 27:3	and say to Tyre, O you who dwell at the entrance of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many isles, thus says the Lord Yehovah: You, O Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel 27:4	Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders have perfected your beauty.
Ezekiel 27:5	They have made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
Ezekiel 27:6	Of the oaks of Bashan they have made your oars; they have made your benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim.
Ezekiel 27:7	Of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be an ensign for you; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was your awning.
Ezekiel 27:8	The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers: your wise men, O Tyre, were in you, they were your pilots.
Ezekiel 27:9	The old men of Gebal and its wise men were in you as your caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:10	Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.
Ezekiel 27:11	The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and valorous men were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls all around; they have perfected your beauty.
Ezekiel 27:12	Tarshish was your merchant because of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for your wares.
Ezekiel 27:13	Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your traders; they traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:14	Those of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses and war horses and mules.
Ezekiel 27:15	The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand: they brought you in exchange tusks of ivory and ebony.
Ezekiel 27:16	Syria was your merchant because of the multitude of your handiworks: they traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies.
Ezekiel 27:17	Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your traders: they traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
Ezekiel 27:18	Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks, because of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
Ezekiel 27:19	Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for your wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:20	Dedan was your trader in saddlecloths for riding.
Ezekiel 27:21	Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of your hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these they were your merchants.
Ezekiel 27:22	The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they were your traders; they traded for your wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
Ezekiel 27:23	Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were your traders.
Ezekiel 27:24	These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of cedar, among your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:25	The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise: and you were replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
Ezekiel 27:26	Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
Ezekiel 27:27	Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your caulkers, and the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you, with all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your ruin.
Ezekiel 27:28	At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside shall shake.
Ezekiel 27:29	And all who handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand on the land,
Ezekiel 27:30	and shall cause their voice to be heard over you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust on their heads; they shall wallow in the ashes:
Ezekiel 27:31	and they shall make themselves bald for you, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.
Ezekiel 27:32	And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?
Ezekiel 27:33	When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many peoples; you enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:34	At the time that you were broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell in the midst of you.
Ezekiel 27:35	All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance.
Ezekiel 27:36	The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
Ezekiel 28:1	The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel 28:2	Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God;—
Ezekiel 28:3	behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from you;
Ezekiel 28:4	by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten riches for yourself, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries;
Ezekiel 28:5	by your great wisdom and by your trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches;—
Ezekiel 28:6	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
Ezekiel 28:7	therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the most ruthless of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.
Ezekiel 28:8	They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
Ezekiel 28:9	Will you still say before him who slays you, I am God? but you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Ezekiel 28:10	You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 28:11	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 28:12	Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: You seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel 28:13	You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was in you; on the day that you were created they were prepared.
Ezekiel 28:14	You were the anointed cherub that covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:15	You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Ezekiel 28:16	By the abundance of your trade they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:17	Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may look at you.
Ezekiel 28:18	By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore I have brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who look at you.
Ezekiel 28:19	All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
Ezekiel 28:20	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 28:21	Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
Ezekiel 28:22	and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of you; and they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
Ezekiel 28:23	For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 28:24	And there shall no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn from any who are around them, who despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 28:25	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Ezekiel 28:26	And they shall dwell securely in it; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those around them who despise them; and they shall know that I am Yehovah their God.
Ezekiel 29:1	In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 29:2	Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;
Ezekiel 29:3	speak, and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, who has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
Ezekiel 29:4	And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.
Ezekiel 29:5	And I will cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall on the open field; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered; I have given you as food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens.
Ezekiel 29:6	And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Yehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 29:7	When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke, and made all their loins shake.
Ezekiel 29:8	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off from you man and beast.
Ezekiel 29:9	And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Yehovah. Because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it;
Ezekiel 29:10	therefore, behold, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
Ezekiel 29:11	No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, nor shall it be inhabited forty years.
Ezekiel 29:12	And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel 29:13	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;
Ezekiel 29:14	and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and there they shall be a lowly kingdom.
Ezekiel 29:15	It shall be the lowliest of the kingdoms; nor shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no longer rule over the nations.
Ezekiel 29:16	And it shall no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 29:17	And it happened in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 29:18	Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare; yet he had no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
Ezekiel 29:19	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Ezekiel 29:20	I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 29:21	On that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 30:1	The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel 30:2	Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Wail, Alas for the day!
Ezekiel 30:3	For the day is near, even the day of Yehovah is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.
Ezekiel 30:4	And a sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
Ezekiel 30:5	Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Ezekiel 30:6	Thus says Yehovah: Those also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh they shall fall in it by the sword, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 30:7	And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
Ezekiel 30:8	And they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
Ezekiel 30:9	On that day messengers shall go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, look, it comes.
Ezekiel 30:10	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
Ezekiel 30:11	He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
Ezekiel 30:12	And I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 30:13	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 30:14	And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No.
Ezekiel 30:15	And I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Ezekiel 30:16	And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.
Ezekiel 30:17	The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
Ezekiel 30:18	At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
Ezekiel 30:19	Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 30:20	And it happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 30:21	Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, look, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it may be strong to hold the sword.
Ezekiel 30:22	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and the one that was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Ezekiel 30:23	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel 30:24	And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
Ezekiel 30:25	And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 30:26	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 31:1	And it happened in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 31:2	Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?
Ezekiel 31:3	Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.
Ezekiel 31:4	The waters nourished it, the deep made it grow: its rivers ran all around its planting; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.
Ezekiel 31:5	Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long because of many waters, when it shot them forth.
Ezekiel 31:6	All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.
Ezekiel 31:7	Thus it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.
Ezekiel 31:8	The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not like its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.
Ezekiel 31:9	I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
Ezekiel 31:10	Therefore thus said the Lord Yehovah: Because you are exalted in stature, and he has set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Ezekiel 31:11	I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Ezekiel 31:12	And strangers, the most ruthless of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
Ezekiel 31:13	On his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be on his branches;
Ezekiel 31:14	so that none of all the trees by the waters may exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones may stand up in their height, even all that drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.
Ezekiel 31:15	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: On the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its rivers; and the great waters were held back; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
Ezekiel 31:16	I made the nations shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the lower parts of the earth.
Ezekiel 31:17	They also went down into Sheol with him to those who are slain by the sword; yes, those who were his arm, who dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations.
Ezekiel 31:18	To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the lower parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:1	And it happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 32:2	Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are like a monster in the seas; and you burst forth in your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.
Ezekiel 32:3	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I will spread out my net over you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.
Ezekiel 32:4	And I will leave you on the land, I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you, and I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with you.
Ezekiel 32:5	And I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
Ezekiel 32:6	I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.
Ezekiel 32:7	And when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make their stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.
Ezekiel 32:8	All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:9	I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.
Ezekiel 32:10	Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.
Ezekiel 32:11	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.
Ezekiel 32:12	By the swords of the mighty I will cause your multitude to fall; they are all the most ruthless of the nations: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.
Ezekiel 32:13	I will also destroy all its beasts from beside many waters; nor shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
Ezekiel 32:14	Then I will make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:15	When I make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that with which it was full, when I strike all those who dwell in it, then they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:16	This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament with it; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, they shall lament with it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:17	It happened also in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 32:18	Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.
Ezekiel 32:19	Whom do you surpass in beauty? go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.
Ezekiel 32:20	They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.
Ezekiel 32:21	The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those who help him: they have gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Ezekiel 32:22	Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;
Ezekiel 32:23	whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is all around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:24	There is Elam and all her multitude all around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.
Ezekiel 32:25	They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are all around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.
Ezekiel 32:26	There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are all around them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:27	And they shall not lie with the mighty who have fallen of the uncircumcised, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:28	But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.
Ezekiel 32:29	There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.
Ezekiel 32:30	There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
Ezekiel 32:31	Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 32:32	For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 33:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 33:2	Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them, When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him as their watchman;
Ezekiel 33:3	if, when he sees the sword coming on the land, he blows the trumpet, and warns the people;
Ezekiel 33:4	then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and does not take warning, if the sword comes, and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
Ezekiel 33:5	He heard the sound of the trumpet, and did not take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Ezekiel 33:6	But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes, and takes any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.
Ezekiel 33:7	So you, son of man, I have set you as a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Ezekiel 33:8	When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
Ezekiel 33:9	Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Ezekiel 33:10	And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we waste away in them; how then can we live?
Ezekiel 33:11	Say to them, As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel 33:12	And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him on the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it on the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall he who is righteous be able to live by it on the day that he sins.
Ezekiel 33:13	When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trusts in his righteousness, and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he has committed, in it he shall die.
Ezekiel 33:14	Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turns from his sin, and does what is lawful and right;
Ezekiel 33:15	if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he had taken by robbery, walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel 33:16	None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Ezekiel 33:17	Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not just: but as for them, their way is not just.
Ezekiel 33:18	When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
Ezekiel 33:19	And when the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live by it.
Ezekiel 33:20	Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not just. O house of Israel, I will judge each one of you according to his ways.
Ezekiel 33:21	And it happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city has been struck down.
Ezekiel 33:22	Now the hand of Yehovah had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
Ezekiel 33:23	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 33:24	Son of man, those who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given to us for an inheritance.
Ezekiel 33:25	Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
Ezekiel 33:26	You stand on your sword, you commit abomination, and you defile each one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land?
Ezekiel 33:27	Thus you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Ezekiel 33:28	And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
Ezekiel 33:29	Then they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Ezekiel 33:30	And as for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, each one to his brother, saying, Come, please, and hear what the word is that comes forth from Yehovah.
Ezekiel 33:31	And they come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Ezekiel 33:32	And, look, you are to them like a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
Ezekiel 33:33	And when this happens (behold, it comes), then they shall know that a prophet has been among them.
Ezekiel 34:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 34:2	Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
Ezekiel 34:3	You eat the fat, and you clothe yourselves with the wool, you kill the fatlings; but you do not feed the sheep.
Ezekiel 34:4	The diseased you have not strengthened, nor have you healed what was sick, nor have you bound up what was broken, nor have you brought back what was driven away, nor have you sought what was lost; but with force and with harshness you have ruled over them.
Ezekiel 34:5	And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
Ezekiel 34:6	My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill: yes, my sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth; and there was no one who searched or sought after them.
Ezekiel 34:7	Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yehovah:
Ezekiel 34:8	As I live, says the Lord Yehovah, surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep;
Ezekiel 34:9	therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of Yehovah:
Ezekiel 34:10	Thus says the Lord Yehovah, Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; nor shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
Ezekiel 34:11	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
Ezekiel 34:12	As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered on the cloudy and dark day.
Ezekiel 34:13	And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Ezekiel 34:14	I will feed them with good pasture; and on the mountains of the height of Israel their fold shall be: there they shall lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 34:15	I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 34:16	I will seek what was lost, and will bring back what was driven away, and will bind up what was broken, and will strengthen what was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice.
Ezekiel 34:17	And as for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
Ezekiel 34:18	Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the rest with your feet?
Ezekiel 34:19	And as for my sheep, they eat what you have trodden with your feet, and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.
Ezekiel 34:20	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Ezekiel 34:21	Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad;
Ezekiel 34:22	therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
Ezekiel 34:23	And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Ezekiel 34:24	And I, Yehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yehovah, have spoken it.
Ezekiel 34:25	And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Ezekiel 34:26	And I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Ezekiel 34:27	And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
Ezekiel 34:28	And they shall no longer be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
Ezekiel 34:29	And I will raise up for them a planting of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.
Ezekiel 34:30	And they shall know that I, Yehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 34:31	And you my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 35:1	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 35:2	Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Ezekiel 35:3	and say to it, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.
Ezekiel 35:4	I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 35:5	Because you have had a perpetual enmity, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
Ezekiel 35:6	therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
Ezekiel 35:7	Thus I will make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.
Ezekiel 35:8	And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses those who are slain with the sword shall fall.
Ezekiel 35:9	I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 35:10	Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Yehovah was there:
Ezekiel 35:11	therefore, as I live, says the Lord Yehovah, I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I judge you.
Ezekiel 35:12	And you shall know that I, Yehovah, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given to us to devour.
Ezekiel 35:13	And you have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it.
Ezekiel 35:14	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
Ezekiel 35:15	As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 36:1	And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yehovah.
Ezekiel 36:2	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession;
Ezekiel 36:3	therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;
Ezekiel 36:4	therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yehovah: Thus says the Lord Yehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and derision to the rest of the nations that are all around;
Ezekiel 36:5	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with malice of soul, to cast it out for a prey.
Ezekiel 36:6	Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:
Ezekiel 36:7	therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: I have sworn, saying, Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame.
Ezekiel 36:8	But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
Ezekiel 36:9	For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown;
Ezekiel 36:10	and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;
Ezekiel 36:11	and I will multiply on you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estate, and will do better for you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 36:12	Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no longer bereave them of children.
Ezekiel 36:13	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Because they say to you, You land are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;
Ezekiel 36:14	therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation any more, says the Lord Yehovah;
Ezekiel 36:15	nor will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, nor shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble any more, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 36:16	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 36:17	Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their deeds: their way before me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.
Ezekiel 36:18	Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;
Ezekiel 36:19	and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their deeds I judged them.
Ezekiel 36:20	And when they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Yehovah, and have gone forth out of his land.
Ezekiel 36:21	But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.
Ezekiel 36:22	Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.
Ezekiel 36:23	And I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Yehovah, says the Lord Yehovah, when I am sanctified in you before their eyes.
Ezekiel 36:24	For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Ezekiel 36:25	And I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, I will cleanse you.
Ezekiel 36:26	A new heart also I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:27	And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.
Ezekiel 36:28	And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:29	And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.
Ezekiel 36:30	And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may no longer receive the reproach of famine among the nations.
Ezekiel 36:31	Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Ezekiel 36:32	It is not for your sake that I do this, says the Lord Yehovah, let it be known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
Ezekiel 36:33	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.
Ezekiel 36:34	And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.
Ezekiel 36:35	And they shall say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.
Ezekiel 36:36	Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, Yehovah, have built the ruined places, and planted what was desolate: I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.
Ezekiel 36:37	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.
Ezekiel 36:38	As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 37:1	The hand of Yehovah was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Ezekiel 37:2	And he caused me to pass by them all around: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, look, they were very dry.
Ezekiel 37:3	And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Yehovah, you know.
Ezekiel 37:4	Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of Yehovah.
Ezekiel 37:5	Thus says the Lord Yehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
Ezekiel 37:6	And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 37:7	So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
Ezekiel 37:8	And I looked, and, look, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
Ezekiel 37:9	Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
Ezekiel 37:10	So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Ezekiel 37:11	Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are completely cut off.
Ezekiel 37:12	Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 37:13	And you shall know that I am Yehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people.
Ezekiel 37:14	And I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yehovah, have spoken it and performed it, says Yehovah.
Ezekiel 37:15	The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel 37:16	And you, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Ezekiel 37:17	and join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
Ezekiel 37:18	And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
Ezekiel 37:19	say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
Ezekiel 37:20	And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
Ezekiel 37:21	And say to them, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Ezekiel 37:22	and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;
Ezekiel 37:23	nor shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 37:24	And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Ezekiel 37:25	And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince forever.
Ezekiel 37:26	Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 37:27	My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ezekiel 37:28	And the nations shall know that I am Yehovah who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel 38:1	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 38:2	Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Ezekiel 38:3	and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
Ezekiel 38:4	and I will turn you around, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:
Ezekiel 38:5	Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Ezekiel 38:6	Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
Ezekiel 38:7	Be prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies that are assembled to you, and be a guard for them.
Ezekiel 38:8	After many days you shall be summoned: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out from the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
Ezekiel 38:9	And you shall ascend, you shall come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
Ezekiel 38:10	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: It shall happen on that day, that things shall come into your mind, and you shall devise an evil scheme:
Ezekiel 38:11	and you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
Ezekiel 38:12	to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten cattle and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth.
Ezekiel 38:13	Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, shall say to you, Have you come to take the spoil? have you assembled your company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?
Ezekiel 38:14	Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: On that day when my people Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it?
Ezekiel 38:15	And you shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army;
Ezekiel 38:16	and you shall come up against my people Israel, like a cloud to cover the land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
Ezekiel 38:17	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them?
Ezekiel 38:18	And it shall happen on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, says the Lord Yehovah, that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils.
Ezekiel 38:19	For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken, Surely on that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Ezekiel 38:20	so that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Ezekiel 38:21	And I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains, says the Lord Yehovah: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
Ezekiel 38:22	And with pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Ezekiel 38:23	And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:1	And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
Ezekiel 39:2	and I will turn you around, and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you against the mountains of Israel;
Ezekiel 39:3	and I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
Ezekiel 39:4	You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Ezekiel 39:5	You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:6	And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the isles; and they shall know that I am Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:7	And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel; nor will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am Yehovah, the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel 39:8	Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yehovah; this is the day of which I have spoken.
Ezekiel 39:9	And those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years;
Ezekiel 39:10	so that they shall take no wood out of the field, nor cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:11	And it shall happen on that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those who pass through: and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.
Ezekiel 39:12	And for seven months the house of Israel shall be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:13	Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be a renown for them on the day that I am glorified, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:14	And they shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through, those who bury those who remain on the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months they shall search.
Ezekiel 39:15	And those who pass through the land shall pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
Ezekiel 39:16	And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:17	And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yehovah: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.
Ezekiel 39:18	You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Ezekiel 39:19	And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Ezekiel 39:20	And you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 39:21	And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.
Ezekiel 39:22	So the house of Israel shall know that I am Yehovah their God, from that day forward.
Ezekiel 39:23	And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.
Ezekiel 39:24	According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I dealt with them; and I hid my face from them.
Ezekiel 39:25	Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: Now I will bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name.
Ezekiel 39:26	And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid;
Ezekiel 39:27	when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.
Ezekiel 39:28	And they shall know that I am Yehovah their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there;
Ezekiel 39:29	nor will I hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 40:1	In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was struck down, on that very day, the hand of Yehovah was on me, and he brought me there.
Ezekiel 40:2	In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, on which was as it were the frame of a city on the south.
Ezekiel 40:3	And he brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Ezekiel 40:4	And the man said to me, Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for you were brought here in order that I might show them to you: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 40:5	And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Ezekiel 40:6	Then he came to the gate which faces toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.
Ezekiel 40:7	And each guardroom was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the guardrooms was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
Ezekiel 40:8	He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
Ezekiel 40:9	Then he measured the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
Ezekiel 40:10	And the guardrooms of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; the three of them were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
Ezekiel 40:11	And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
Ezekiel 40:12	and a border before the guardrooms, one cubit on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the guardrooms, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Ezekiel 40:13	And he measured the gate from the roof of the one guardroom to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door opposite door.
Ezekiel 40:14	He also made posts, sixty cubits; and the court reached to the posts, all around the gate.
Ezekiel 40:15	And from the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 40:16	And there were closed windows to the guardrooms, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were all around inward; and on each post were palm trees.
Ezekiel 40:17	Then he brought me into the outer court; and, look, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty chambers were on the pavement.
Ezekiel 40:18	And the pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
Ezekiel 40:19	Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, a hundred cubits, both on the east and on the north.
Ezekiel 40:20	And the gate of the outer court that faces toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.
Ezekiel 40:21	And its guardrooms were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were according to the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
Ezekiel 40:22	And its windows, and its arches, and its palm trees, were according to the measure of the gate that faces toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.
Ezekiel 40:23	And there was a gate to the inner court opposite the other gate, both on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 40:24	And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.
Ezekiel 40:25	And there were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
Ezekiel 40:26	And there were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
Ezekiel 40:27	And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 40:28	Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
Ezekiel 40:29	and its guardrooms, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:30	And there were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:31	And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel 40:32	And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
Ezekiel 40:33	and its guardrooms, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
Ezekiel 40:34	And its arches were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel 40:35	And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured it according to these measures;
Ezekiel 40:36	its guardrooms, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows in it all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
Ezekiel 40:37	And its posts were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel 40:38	And a chamber with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.
Ezekiel 40:39	And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
Ezekiel 40:40	And on the one side outside, as one goes up to the entrance of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Ezekiel 40:41	Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, on which they slew the sacrifices.
Ezekiel 40:42	And there were four tables for the burnt offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; on which they laid the instruments with which they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
Ezekiel 40:43	And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the oblation.
Ezekiel 40:44	And outside the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and they faced toward the south; one at the side of the east gate facing toward the north.
Ezekiel 40:45	And he said to me, This chamber, which faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house;
Ezekiel 40:46	and the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yehovah to minister to him.
Ezekiel 40:47	And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, square; and the altar was before the house.
Ezekiel 40:48	Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
Ezekiel 40:49	The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Ezekiel 41:1	And he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
Ezekiel 41:2	And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured its length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits.
Ezekiel 41:3	Then he went inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits.
Ezekiel 41:4	And he measured its length, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.
Ezekiel 41:5	Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, all around the house on every side.
Ezekiel 41:6	And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side chambers all around, that they might have hold in it, and not have hold in the wall of the house.
Ezekiel 41:7	And the side chambers were broader as they encompassed the house higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher all around the house: therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest chamber to the highest by the middle chamber.
Ezekiel 41:8	I saw also that the house had a raised platform all around: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
Ezekiel 41:9	The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and what was left was the place of the side chambers that belonged to the house.
Ezekiel 41:10	And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits all around the house on every side.
Ezekiel 41:11	And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits all around.
Ezekiel 41:12	And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick all around, and its length ninety cubits.
Ezekiel 41:13	So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with its walls, a hundred cubits long;
Ezekiel 41:14	also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 41:15	And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at its back, and its galleries on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
Ezekiel 41:16	the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries all around on their three stories, opposite the threshold, paneled with wood all around, and from the ground up to the windows (now the windows were covered),
Ezekiel 41:17	to the space above the door, even to the inner house, and outside, and by all the wall all around inside and outside, by measure.
Ezekiel 41:18	And it was made with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;
Ezekiel 41:19	so that there was the face of a man toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. Thus it was made through all the house all around:
Ezekiel 41:20	from the ground to above the door cherubim and palm trees were made; thus was the wall of the temple.
Ezekiel 41:21	As for the temple, the doorposts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, its appearance was like the appearance of the temple.
Ezekiel 41:22	The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; and its corners, and its length, and its walls, were of wood: and he said to me, This is the table that is before Yehovah.
Ezekiel 41:23	And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
Ezekiel 41:24	And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other.
Ezekiel 41:25	And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, as were made on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the face of the porch outside.
Ezekiel 41:26	And there were closed windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side chambers of the house, and the thresholds.
Ezekiel 42:1	Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was opposite the separate place, and which was opposite the building toward the north.
Ezekiel 42:2	Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:3	Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story.
Ezekiel 42:4	And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits’ breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north.
Ezekiel 42:5	Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middle ones, in the building.
Ezekiel 42:6	For they were in three stories, and they did not have pillars like the pillars of the courts: therefore the uppermost was narrowed more than the lowest and the middle ones from the ground.
Ezekiel 42:7	And the wall that was outside by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, its length was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:8	For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, look, before the temple were a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 42:9	And from under these chambers was the entrance on the east side, as one goes into them from the outer court.
Ezekiel 42:10	In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers.
Ezekiel 42:11	And the way before them was like the appearance of the way of the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their exits were both according to their arrangements, and according to their doors.
Ezekiel 42:12	And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
Ezekiel 42:13	Then he said to me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests who are near to Yehovah shall eat the most holy things: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
Ezekiel 42:14	When the priests enter in, then they shall not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments in which they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach what pertains to the people.
Ezekiel 42:15	Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.
Ezekiel 42:16	He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed all around.
Ezekiel 42:17	He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed all around.
Ezekiel 42:18	He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ezekiel 42:19	He turned around to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ezekiel 42:20	He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall all around, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between what was holy and what was common.
Ezekiel 43:1	Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:2	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with his glory.
Ezekiel 43:3	And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Ezekiel 43:4	And the glory of Yehovah came into the house by the way of the gate that faces toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:5	And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Yehovah filled the house.
Ezekiel 43:6	And I heard one speaking to me out of the house; and a man stood by me.
Ezekiel 43:7	And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no longer defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
Ezekiel 43:8	in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their doorpost beside my doorpost, and there was only the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: therefore I have consumed them in my anger.
Ezekiel 43:9	Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
Ezekiel 43:10	You, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
Ezekiel 43:11	And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the house, and its arrangement, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its forms, and all its laws; and write it in their sight; that they may keep its whole form, and all its ordinances, and do them.
Ezekiel 43:12	This is the law of the house: on the top of the mountain its whole territory all around shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Ezekiel 43:13	And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border by its edge all around a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
Ezekiel 43:14	And from the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
Ezekiel 43:15	And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
Ezekiel 43:16	And the altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad, square on its four sides.
Ezekiel 43:17	And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad on its four sides; and the border around it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit all around; and its steps shall face toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:18	And he said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Yehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar on the day when they make it, to offer burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Ezekiel 43:19	You shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the Lord Yehovah, a young bull for a sin offering.
Ezekiel 43:20	And you shall take some of its blood, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
Ezekiel 43:21	You shall also take the bull of the sin offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, outside the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 43:22	And on the second day you shall offer a male goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.
Ezekiel 43:23	When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Ezekiel 43:24	And you shall bring them near before Yehovah, and the priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to Yehovah.
Ezekiel 43:25	Seven days you shall prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
Ezekiel 43:26	Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so they shall consecrate it.
Ezekiel 43:27	And when they have completed the days, it shall be that on the eighth day, and onward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 44:1	Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces toward the east; and it was shut.
Ezekiel 44:2	And Yehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, nor shall any man enter in by it; for Yehovah, the God of Israel, has entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut.
Ezekiel 44:3	As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before Yehovah; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.
Ezekiel 44:4	Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Yehovah filled the house of Yehovah: and I fell on my face.
Ezekiel 44:5	And Yehovah said to me, Son of man, mark well, and look with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of Yehovah, and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 44:6	And you shall say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yehovah: O house of Israel, let all your abominations be enough for you,
Ezekiel 44:7	in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
Ezekiel 44:8	And you have not kept the charge of my holy things; but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
Ezekiel 44:9	Thus says the Lord Yehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
Ezekiel 44:10	But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel 44:11	Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
Ezekiel 44:12	Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel; therefore I have lifted up my hand against them, says the Lord Yehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel 44:13	And they shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Ezekiel 44:14	Yet I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service, and for all that shall be done in it.
Ezekiel 44:15	But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me; and they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord Yehovah:
Ezekiel 44:16	they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.
Ezekiel 44:17	And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come on them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Ezekiel 44:18	They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen undergarments on their loins; they shall not gird themselves with anything that causes sweat.
Ezekiel 44:19	And when they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they may not sanctify the people with their garments.
Ezekiel 44:20	Nor shall they shave their heads, nor let their locks grow long; they shall only trim the hair of their heads.
Ezekiel 44:21	Nor shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
Ezekiel 44:22	Nor shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is divorced; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
Ezekiel 44:23	And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Ezekiel 44:24	And in a dispute they shall stand to judge; according to my ordinances they shall judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
Ezekiel 44:25	And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Ezekiel 44:26	And after he is cleansed, they shall count for him seven days.
Ezekiel 44:27	And on the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 44:28	And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
Ezekiel 44:29	They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Ezekiel 44:30	And the first of all the firstfruits of everything, and every oblation of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest: you shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
Ezekiel 44:31	The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it is bird or beast.
Ezekiel 45:1	Moreover, when you divide by lot the land for inheritance, you shall offer an oblation to Yehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all its territory all around.
Ezekiel 45:2	Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred in length by five hundred in breadth, square all around; and fifty cubits for its open space all around.
Ezekiel 45:3	And from this measure you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy.
Ezekiel 45:4	It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to Yehovah; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 45:5	And twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, as a possession for themselves, for twenty chambers.
Ezekiel 45:6	And you shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
Ezekiel 45:7	And whatever is for the prince shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length corresponding to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border.
Ezekiel 45:8	In the land it shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no longer oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Ezekiel 45:9	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: Enough, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my people, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 45:10	You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
Ezekiel 45:11	The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: its measure shall be according to the homer.
Ezekiel 45:12	And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
Ezekiel 45:13	This is the oblation that you shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and you shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley;
Ezekiel 45:14	and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is ten baths, even a homer (for ten baths are a homer);
Ezekiel 45:15	and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel;—for a meal offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 45:16	All the people of the land shall give to this oblation for the prince in Israel.
Ezekiel 45:17	And it shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 45:18	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull without blemish; and you shall cleanse the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 45:19	And the priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering, and put it on the doorposts of the house, and on the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court.
Ezekiel 45:20	And so you shall do on the seventh day of the month for everyone who errs, and for him who is simple: so you shall make atonement for the house.
Ezekiel 45:21	In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
Ezekiel 45:22	And on that day the prince shall prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.
Ezekiel 45:23	And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to Yehovah, seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a male goat daily for a sin offering.
Ezekiel 45:24	And he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
Ezekiel 45:25	In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, he shall do the same for the seven days; according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meal offering, and according to the oil.
Ezekiel 46:1	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: The gate of the inner court that faces toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
Ezekiel 46:2	And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go out; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
Ezekiel 46:3	And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons.
Ezekiel 46:4	And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yehovah shall be on the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;
Ezekiel 46:5	and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
Ezekiel 46:6	And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:
Ezekiel 46:7	and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
Ezekiel 46:8	And when the prince enters, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go out by the same way.
Ezekiel 46:9	But when the people of the land come before Yehovah in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go out straight ahead.
Ezekiel 46:10	And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth together.
Ezekiel 46:11	And in the feasts and in the solemn assemblies the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
Ezekiel 46:12	And when the prince prepares a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Yehovah, one shall open for him the gate that faces toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the sabbath day: then he shall go out; and after his going out one shall shut the gate.
Ezekiel 46:13	And you shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yehovah daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.
Ezekiel 46:14	And you shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance.
Ezekiel 46:15	Thus they shall prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.
Ezekiel 46:16	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
Ezekiel 46:17	But if he gives a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.
Ezekiel 46:18	Moreover the prince shall not take from the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people may not be scattered, each man from his possession.
Ezekiel 46:19	Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced toward the north: and, behold, there was a place at the rear westward.
Ezekiel 46:20	And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the meal offering; that they may not bring them out into the outer court, to sanctify the people.
Ezekiel 46:21	Then he brought me out into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
Ezekiel 46:22	In the four corners of the court there were enclosed courts, forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.
Ezekiel 46:23	And there was a wall all around in them, all around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.
Ezekiel 46:24	Then he said to me, These are the kitchens, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
Ezekiel 47:1	And he brought me back to the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward (for the forefront of the house was toward the east); and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar.
Ezekiel 47:2	Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me around by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that faces toward the east; and, behold, waters ran out on the right side.
Ezekiel 47:3	When the man went out eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles.
Ezekiel 47:4	Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the loins.
Ezekiel 47:5	Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the waters had risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through.
Ezekiel 47:6	And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river.
Ezekiel 47:7	Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Ezekiel 47:8	Then he said to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea the waters shall go which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed.
Ezekiel 47:9	And it shall happen, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters have come there, and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live wherever the river comes.
Ezekiel 47:10	And it shall happen, that fishermen shall stand by it: from En-gedi even to En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, like the fish of the great sea, exceedingly many.
Ezekiel 47:11	But its swamps, and its marshes, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt.
Ezekiel 47:12	And by the river on its bank, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, nor shall its fruit fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because its waters issue out of the sanctuary; and its fruit shall be for food, and its leaf for healing.
Ezekiel 47:13	Thus says the Lord Yehovah: This shall be the border, by which you shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
Ezekiel 47:14	And you shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I swore to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall to you for inheritance.
Ezekiel 47:15	And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;
Ezekiel 47:16	Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.
Ezekiel 47:17	And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.
Ezekiel 47:18	And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border, to the east sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
Ezekiel 47:19	And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, to the great sea. This is the south side southward.
Ezekiel 47:20	And the west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.
Ezekiel 47:21	So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 47:22	And it shall happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance for yourselves and for the strangers who sojourn among you, who shall father children among you; and they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 47:23	And it shall happen, that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourns, there you shall give him his inheritance, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 48:1	Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath (and they shall have their sides east and west), Dan, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:2	And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:3	And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:4	And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:5	And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:6	And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:7	And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:8	And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the oblation which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
Ezekiel 48:9	The oblation that you shall offer to Yehovah shall be twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth.
Ezekiel 48:10	And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation; toward the north twenty-five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yehovah shall be in its midst.
Ezekiel 48:11	It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
Ezekiel 48:12	And it shall be for them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
Ezekiel 48:13	And corresponding to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
Ezekiel 48:14	And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the firstfruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yehovah.
Ezekiel 48:15	And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for open land; and the city shall be in its midst.
Ezekiel 48:16	And these shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
Ezekiel 48:17	And the city shall have open land: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
Ezekiel 48:18	And the remainder in the length, corresponding to the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall correspond to the holy oblation; and its increase shall be for food for those who labor in the city.
Ezekiel 48:19	And those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.
Ezekiel 48:20	All the oblation shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy oblation square, with the possession of the city.
Ezekiel 48:21	And the remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, corresponding to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.
Ezekiel 48:22	Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of what is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.
Ezekiel 48:23	And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:24	And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one portion.
Ezekiel 48:25	And by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one portion.

Ezekiel 48:29	This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their various portions, says the Lord Yehovah.
Ezekiel 48:30	And these are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure;
Ezekiel 48:31	and the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
Ezekiel 48:32	And at the east side four thousand and five hundred reeds, and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.
Ezekiel 48:33	And at the south side four thousand and five hundred reeds by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.
Ezekiel 48:34	At the west side four thousand and five hundred reeds, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.
Ezekiel 48:35	It shall be eighteen thousand reeds all around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Yehovah is there.
Daniel 1:1	In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Daniel 1:2	And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god.
Daniel 1:3	And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in certain of the children of Israel, even of the royal seed and of the nobles;
Daniel 1:4	youths in whom was no blemish, but good-looking, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
Daniel 1:5	And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end of that time they should stand before the king.
Daniel 1:6	Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Daniel 1:7	And the prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed-nego.
Daniel 1:8	But Daniel resolved in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Daniel 1:9	Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
Daniel 1:10	And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? so would you endanger my head with the king.
Daniel 1:11	Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Daniel 1:12	Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
Daniel 1:13	Then let our countenances be looked upon before you, and the countenance of the youths who eat of the king’s dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants.
Daniel 1:14	So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days.
Daniel 1:15	And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king’s dainties.
Daniel 1:16	So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables.
Daniel 1:17	Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Daniel 1:18	And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 1:19	And the king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore they stood before the king.
Daniel 1:20	And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
Daniel 1:21	And Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel 2:1	And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
Daniel 2:2	Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
Daniel 2:3	And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.
Daniel 2:4	Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Daniel 2:5	The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Daniel 2:6	But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.
Daniel 2:7	They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
Daniel 2:8	The king answered and said, I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see the thing is gone from me.
Daniel 2:9	But if you do not make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the time is changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can show me its interpretation.
Daniel 2:10	The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth who can show the king’s matter, since no king, lord, or ruler, has asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.
Daniel 2:11	And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Daniel 2:12	For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:13	So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be killed; and they sought Daniel and his companions to kill them.
Daniel 2:14	Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon;
Daniel 2:15	he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
Daniel 2:16	And Daniel went in, and requested of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
Daniel 2:17	Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Daniel 2:18	that they would seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:19	Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Daniel 2:20	Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.
Daniel 2:21	And he changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding;
Daniel 2:22	he reveals the deep and secret things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.
Daniel 2:23	I thank you, and praise you, O you God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.
Daniel 2:24	Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him: Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.
Daniel 2:25	Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation.
Daniel 2:26	The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?
Daniel 2:27	Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers can show to the king;
Daniel 2:28	but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are these:
Daniel 2:29	as for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what shall come to pass.
Daniel 2:30	But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
Daniel 2:31	You, O king, saw, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its aspect was terrible.
Daniel 2:32	As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
Daniel 2:33	its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.
Daniel 2:34	You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
Daniel 2:35	Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Daniel 2:36	This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
Daniel 2:37	You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;
Daniel 2:38	and wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens he has given into your hand, and has made you rule over them all: you are the head of gold.
Daniel 2:39	And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Daniel 2:40	And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, since iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it shall break in pieces and crush.
Daniel 2:41	And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, since you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
Daniel 2:42	And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Daniel 2:43	And whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not hold together with one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay.
Daniel 2:44	And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Daniel 2:45	Since you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.
Daniel 2:46	Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors to him.
Daniel 2:47	The king answered to Daniel, and said, Truly your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you have been able to reveal this secret.
Daniel 2:48	Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:49	And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king.
Daniel 3:1	Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits, and its breadth six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 3:2	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel 3:3	Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counselors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel 3:4	Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
Daniel 3:5	that when you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up;
Daniel 3:6	and whoever does not fall down and worship shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:7	Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel 3:8	Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.
Daniel 3:9	They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live for ever.
Daniel 3:10	You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;
Daniel 3:11	and whoever does not fall down and worship, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:12	There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they do not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
Daniel 3:13	Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Daniel 3:14	Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, Is it on purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Daniel 3:15	Now if you are ready that when you hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, you fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if you do not worship, you shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hands?
Daniel 3:16	Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
Daniel 3:17	If it is so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.
Daniel 3:18	But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
Daniel 3:19	Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.
Daniel 3:20	And he commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:21	Then these men were bound in their trousers, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:22	Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
Daniel 3:23	And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3:24	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spoke and said to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
Daniel 3:25	He answered and said, Look, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.
Daniel 3:26	Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out out of the midst of the fire.
Daniel 3:27	And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counselors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.
Daniel 3:28	Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel, and delivered his servants who trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Daniel 3:29	Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything wrong 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 able to deliver in this way.
Daniel 3:30	Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 4:1	Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
Daniel 4:2	It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.
Daniel 4:3	How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Daniel 4:4	I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Daniel 4:5	I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel 4:6	Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
Daniel 4:7	Then the magicians came in, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
Daniel 4:8	But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him, saying,
Daniel 4:9	O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
Daniel 4:10	Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.
Daniel 4:11	The tree grew, and was strong, and its height reached to heaven, and its sight to the end of all the earth.
Daniel 4:12	Its leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
Daniel 4:13	I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.
Daniel 4:14	He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.
Daniel 4:15	Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
Daniel 4:16	let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.
Daniel 4:17	The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.
Daniel 4:18	This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
Daniel 4:19	Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, do not let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries.
Daniel 4:20	The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to heaven, and its sight to all the earth;
Daniel 4:21	whose leaves were fair, and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:
Daniel 4:22	it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong; for your greatness has grown, and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the end of the earth.
Daniel 4:23	And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, until seven times pass over him;
Daniel 4:24	this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:
Daniel 4:25	that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
Daniel 4:26	And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after you shall have known that the heavens rule.
Daniel 4:27	Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your tranquility.
Daniel 4:28	All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 4:29	At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.
Daniel 4:30	The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?
Daniel 4:31	While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you:
Daniel 4:32	and you shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; you shall be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
Daniel 4:33	The same hour the thing was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.
Daniel 4:34	And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation;
Daniel 4:35	and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?
Daniel 4:36	At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and my lords sought me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.
Daniel 4:37	Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.
Daniel 5:1	Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Daniel 5:2	Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink from them.
Daniel 5:3	Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.
Daniel 5:4	They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Daniel 5:5	In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand came out, and wrote opposite the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Daniel 5:6	Then the king’s countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against another.
Daniel 5:7	The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel 5:8	Then all the king’s wise men came in; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.
Daniel 5:9	Then king Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
Daniel 5:10	Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spoke and said, O king, live for ever; do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance be changed.
Daniel 5:11	There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king, I say, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Daniel 5:12	since an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and explaining of riddles, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.
Daniel 5:13	Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?
Daniel 5:14	I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
Daniel 5:15	And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing.
Daniel 5:16	But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if you can read the writing, and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel 5:17	Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Daniel 5:18	O you king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:
Daniel 5:19	and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he wanted he killed, and whom he wanted he kept alive; and whom he wanted he raised up, and whom he wanted he put down.
Daniel 5:20	But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
Daniel 5:21	and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.
Daniel 5:22	And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,
Daniel 5:23	but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.
Daniel 5:24	Then the part of the hand was sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed.
Daniel 5:25	And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Daniel 5:26	This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered your kingdom, and brought it to an end.
Daniel 5:27	TEKEL; you have been weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.
Daniel 5:28	PERES; your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Daniel 5:29	Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel 5:30	In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed.
Daniel 5:31	And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.
Daniel 6:1	It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;
Daniel 6:2	and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage.
Daniel 6:3	Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel 6:4	Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, since he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Daniel 6:5	Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Daniel 6:6	Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, King Darius, live for ever.
Daniel 6:7	All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Daniel 6:8	Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.
Daniel 6:9	Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
Daniel 6:10	And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem); and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did formerly.
Daniel 6:11	Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Daniel 6:12	Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’s interdict: Have you not signed an interdict, that every man who shall make petition to any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter.
Daniel 6:13	Then they answered and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, does not regard you, O king, nor the interdict that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
Daniel 6:14	Then the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of the sun to rescue him.
Daniel 6:15	Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establishes may be changed.
Daniel 6:16	Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said to Daniel, Your God whom you serve continually, he will deliver you.
Daniel 6:17	And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
Daniel 6:18	Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.
Daniel 6:19	Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to the den of lions.
Daniel 6:20	And when he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?
Daniel 6:21	Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live for ever.
Daniel 6:22	My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; since before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no hurt.
Daniel 6:23	Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.
Daniel 6:24	And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.
Daniel 6:25	Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.
Daniel 6:26	I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even to the end.
Daniel 6:27	He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
Daniel 6:28	So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniel 7:1	In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
Daniel 7:2	Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven broke forth upon the great sea.
Daniel 7:3	And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another.
Daniel 7:4	The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it.
Daniel 7:5	And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Daniel 7:6	After this I looked, and, look, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Daniel 7:7	After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Daniel 7:8	I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:9	I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.
Daniel 7:10	A fiery stream issued and came out from before him: thousands of thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel 7:11	I looked at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke; I watched even until the beast was killed, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
Daniel 7:12	And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
Daniel 7:13	I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Daniel 7:14	And there was given to him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:15	As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel 7:16	I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Daniel 7:17	These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth.
Daniel 7:18	But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Daniel 7:19	Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
Daniel 7:20	and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than its companions.
Daniel 7:21	I looked, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel 7:22	until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Daniel 7:23	Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Daniel 7:24	And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be different from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
Daniel 7:25	And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
Daniel 7:26	But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.
Daniel 7:27	And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Daniel 7:28	Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Daniel 8:1	In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.
Daniel 8:2	And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
Daniel 8:3	Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Daniel 8:4	I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Daniel 8:5	And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and did not touch the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:6	And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
Daniel 8:7	And I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none who could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Daniel 8:8	And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.
Daniel 8:9	And out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
Daniel 8:10	And it grew great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.
Daniel 8:11	Indeed, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel 8:12	And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
Daniel 8:13	Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall the vision be concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Daniel 8:14	And he said to me, To two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.
Daniel 8:15	And it happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16	And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.
Daniel 8:17	So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face: but he said to me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongs to the time of the end.
Daniel 8:18	Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
Daniel 8:19	And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
Daniel 8:20	The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:21	And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Daniel 8:22	And as for that which was broken, in the place of which four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Daniel 8:23	And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding riddles, shall stand up.
Daniel 8:24	And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
Daniel 8:25	And through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in their security he shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:26	And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: but shut up the vision; for it belongs to many days to come.
Daniel 8:27	And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
Daniel 9:1	In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,
Daniel 9:2	in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years of which the word of Yehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
Daniel 9:3	And I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
Daniel 9:4	And I prayed to Yehovah my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with those who love him and keep his commandments,
Daniel 9:5	we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances;
Daniel 9:6	neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Daniel 9:7	O Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.
Daniel 9:8	O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you.
Daniel 9:9	To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him;
Daniel 9:10	neither have we obeyed the voice of Yehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
Daniel 9:11	Indeed, all Israel have transgressed your law, even turning aside, that they should not obey your voice: therefore the curse has been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against him.
Daniel 9:12	And he has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; for under the whole heaven there has not been done as has been done upon Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:13	As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil has come upon us: yet we have not entreated the favor of Yehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in your truth.
Daniel 9:14	Therefore Yehovah has watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Yehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have not obeyed his voice.
Daniel 9:15	And now, O Lord our God, who have brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have made yourself renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Daniel 9:16	O Lord, according to all your righteousness, please let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all who are around us.
Daniel 9:17	Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake.
Daniel 9:18	O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name: for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousnesses, but for your great mercies’ sake.
Daniel 9:19	O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, listen and do; do not delay, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.
Daniel 9:20	And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Yehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Daniel 9:21	indeed, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Daniel 9:22	And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come out to give you wisdom and understanding.
Daniel 9:23	At the beginning of your supplications the commandment went out, and I have come to tell you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
Daniel 9:24	Seventy weeks are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
Daniel 9:25	Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times.
Daniel 9:26	And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:27	And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, wrath shall be poured out upon the desolate.
Daniel 10:1	In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Daniel 10:2	In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks.
Daniel 10:3	I ate no pleasant bread, nor did meat or wine come into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Daniel 10:4	And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,
Daniel 10:5	I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:
Daniel 10:6	his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like burnished bronze, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Daniel 10:7	And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
Daniel 10:8	So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my vigor was turned in me into ruin, and I retained no strength.
Daniel 10:9	Yet I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
Daniel 10:10	And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Daniel 10:11	And he said to me, O Daniel, you man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright; for to you I am now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.
Daniel 10:12	Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard: and I have come for your words’ sake.
Daniel 10:13	But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but, look, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Daniel 10:14	Now I have come to make you understand what shall befall your people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days.
Daniel 10:15	And when he had spoken to me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was mute.
Daniel 10:16	And, behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength.
Daniel 10:17	For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, nor was there breath left in me.
Daniel 10:18	Then one like the appearance of a man touched me again, and he strengthened me.
Daniel 10:19	And he said, O man greatly beloved, do not fear: peace be to you, be strong, indeed, be strong. And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.
Daniel 10:20	Then he said, Do you know why I have come to you? and now I will return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go out, look, the prince of Greece shall come.
Daniel 10:21	But I will tell you that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your prince.
Daniel 11:1	And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
Daniel 11:2	And now I will show you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he has grown strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.
Daniel 11:3	And a mighty king shall stand up, who shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Daniel 11:4	And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.
Daniel 11:5	And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
Daniel 11:6	And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and those who brought her, and he who fathered her, and he who strengthened her in those times.
Daniel 11:7	But out of a shoot from her roots one shall stand up in his place, who shall come to the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail.
Daniel 11:8	And also their gods, with their molten images, and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, he shall carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north.
Daniel 11:9	And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.
Daniel 11:10	And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress.
Daniel 11:11	And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come out and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Daniel 11:12	And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.
Daniel 11:13	And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.
Daniel 11:14	And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among your people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
Daniel 11:15	So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, nor his chosen people, nor shall there be any strength to stand.
Daniel 11:16	But he who comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction.
Daniel 11:17	And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, nor be for him.
Daniel 11:18	After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; indeed, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him.
Daniel 11:19	Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.
Daniel 11:20	Then one shall stand up in his place who shall cause a tax collector to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Daniel 11:21	And in his place a contemptible person shall stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Daniel 11:22	And the overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; indeed, also the prince of the covenant.
Daniel 11:23	And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people.
Daniel 11:24	In time of security he shall come even upon the richest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: indeed, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
Daniel 11:25	And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceedingly great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.
Daniel 11:26	Indeed, those who eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain.
Daniel 11:27	And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Daniel 11:28	Then he shall return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.
Daniel 11:29	At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
Daniel 11:30	For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure: he shall even return, and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.
Daniel 11:31	And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.
Daniel 11:32	And such as do wickedly against the covenant he shall pervert by flatteries; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Daniel 11:33	And those who are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.
Daniel 11:34	Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
Daniel 11:35	And some of those who are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
Daniel 11:36	And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:37	Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all.
Daniel 11:38	But in his place he shall honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones and pleasant things.
Daniel 11:39	And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whoever acknowledges him he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.
Daniel 11:40	And at the time of the end the king of the south shall contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through.
Daniel 11:41	He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Daniel 11:42	He shall stretch out his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Daniel 11:43	But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Daniel 11:44	But news out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and to utterly sweep away many.
Daniel 11:45	And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Daniel 12:1	And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.
Daniel 12:2	And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:3	And those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel 12:4	But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:5	Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood two others, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
Daniel 12:6	And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Daniel 12:7	And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Daniel 12:8	And I heard, but I did not understand: then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?
Daniel 12:9	And he said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Daniel 12:10	Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
Daniel 12:11	And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Daniel 12:12	Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Daniel 12:13	But go your way until the end comes; for you shall rest, and shall stand in your lot, at the end of the days.
Hosea 1:1	The word of Yehovah that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea 1:2	When Yehovah spoke at the first by Hosea, Yehovah said to Hosea, Go, take for yourself a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land commits great whoredom, departing from Yehovah.
Hosea 1:3	So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Hosea 1:4	And Yehovah said to him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
Hosea 1:5	And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Hosea 1:6	And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And Yehovah said to him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.
Hosea 1:7	But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Yehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hosea 1:8	Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son.
Hosea 1:9	And Yehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Hosea 1:10	Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, it shall be said to them, You are the sons of the living God.
Hosea 1:11	And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Hosea 2:1	Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Hosea 2:2	Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, nor am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Hosea 2:3	lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Hosea 2:4	Yes, upon her children I will have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;
Hosea 2:5	for their mother has played the prostitute; she who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
Hosea 2:6	Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Hosea 2:7	And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then it was better with me than now.
Hosea 2:8	For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Hosea 2:9	Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
Hosea 2:10	And now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
Hosea 2:11	I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
Hosea 2:12	And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Hosea 2:13	And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, says Yehovah.
Hosea 2:14	Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.
Hosea 2:15	And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Hosea 2:16	And it shall be at that day, says Yehovah, that you shall call me Ishi, and shall call me no more Baali.
Hosea 2:17	For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
Hosea 2:18	And in that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
Hosea 2:19	And I will betroth you to me forever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Hosea 2:20	I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yehovah.
Hosea 2:21	And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, says Yehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
Hosea 2:22	and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.
Hosea 2:23	And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
Hosea 3:1	And Yehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman beloved by her friend, and an adulteress, even as Yehovah loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins.
Hosea 3:2	So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;
Hosea 3:3	and I said to her, You shall abide for me many days; you shall not play the prostitute, and you shall not be any man’s wife: so I will also be toward you.
Hosea 3:4	For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim:
Hosea 3:5	afterward the children of Israel shall return, and seek Yehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with fear to Yehovah and to his goodness in the latter days.
Hosea 4:1	Hear the word of Yehovah, you children of Israel; for Yehovah has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Hosea 4:2	There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood touches blood.
Hosea 4:3	Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yes, the fish of the sea also shall be taken away.
Hosea 4:4	Yet let no one strive, nor let anyone reprove; for your people are as those who strive with the priest.
Hosea 4:5	And you shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
Hosea 4:6	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Hosea 4:7	As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.
Hosea 4:8	They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
Hosea 4:9	And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their doings.
Hosea 4:10	And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the prostitute, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Yehovah.
Hosea 4:11	Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.
Hosea 4:12	My people ask counsel of their piece of wood, and their staff declares to them; for the spirit of whoredom has caused them to err, and they have played the prostitute, departing from under their God.
Hosea 4:13	They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because their shade is good: therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides commit adultery.
Hosea 4:14	I will not punish your daughters when they play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go apart with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people who do not understand shall be overthrown.
Hosea 4:15	Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet let not Judah offend; and do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Yehovah lives.
Hosea 4:16	For Israel has behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now Yehovah will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Hosea 4:17	Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone.
Hosea 4:18	Their drink has become sour; they play the prostitute continually; her rulers dearly love shame.
Hosea 4:19	The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
Hosea 5:1	Hear this, O you priests, and listen, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king; for to you pertains the judgment; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Hosea 5:2	And the revolters have gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all.
Hosea 5:3	I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have played the prostitute, Israel is defiled.
Hosea 5:4	Their doings will not allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they do not know Yehovah.
Hosea 5:5	And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them.
Hosea 5:6	They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yehovah; but they shall not find him: he has withdrawn himself from them.
Hosea 5:7	They have dealt treacherously against Yehovah; for they have borne strange children: now the new moon shall devour them with their fields.
Hosea 5:8	Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind you, O Benjamin.
Hosea 5:9	Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have made known that which shall surely be.
Hosea 5:10	The princes of Judah are like those who remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Hosea 5:11	Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after man’s command.
Hosea 5:12	Therefore I am to Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Hosea 5:13	When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, nor will he cure you of your wound.
Hosea 5:14	For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.
Hosea 5:15	I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly.
Hosea 6:1	Come, and let us return to Yehovah; for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has struck down, and he will bind us up.
Hosea 6:2	After two days he will revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.
Hosea 6:3	And let us know, let us follow on to know Yehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.
Hosea 6:4	O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goes early away.
Hosea 6:5	Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and your judgments are as the light that goes forth.
Hosea 6:6	For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
Hosea 6:7	But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there they have dealt treacherously against me.
Hosea 6:8	Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity; it is stained with blood.
Hosea 6:9	And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yes, they have committed lewdness.
Hosea 6:10	In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Hosea 6:11	Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you, when I bring back the captivity of my people.
Hosea 7:1	When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.
Hosea 7:2	And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them around; they are before my face.
Hosea 7:3	They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Hosea 7:4	They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Hosea 7:5	On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers.
Hosea 7:6	For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleeps all the night; in the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Hosea 7:7	They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings have fallen: there is none among them who calls to me.
Hosea 7:8	Ephraim, he mixes himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Hosea 7:9	Strangers have devoured his strength, and he does not know it: yes, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he does not know it.
Hosea 7:10	And the pride of Israel testifies to his face: yet they have not returned to Yehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this.
Hosea 7:11	And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Hosea 7:12	When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Hosea 7:13	Woe to them! for they have wandered from me; destruction to them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Hosea 7:14	And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.
Hosea 7:15	Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.
Hosea 7:16	They return, but not to him who is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hosea 8:1	Set the trumpet to your mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of Yehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Hosea 8:2	They shall cry to me, My God, we Israel know you.
Hosea 8:3	Israel has cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Hosea 8:4	They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I did not know it: of their silver and their gold they have made idols for themselves, that they may be cut off.
Hosea 8:5	He has cast off your calf, O Samaria; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be before they attain to innocence?
Hosea 8:6	For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yes, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Hosea 8:7	For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he has no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if it should yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
Hosea 8:8	Israel is swallowed up: now they are among the nations as a vessel in which no one delights.
Hosea 8:9	For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey alone by himself: Ephraim has hired lovers.
Hosea 8:10	Yes, though they hire among the nations, now I will gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes.
Hosea 8:11	Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been to him for sinning.
Hosea 8:12	I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing.
Hosea 8:13	As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Yehovah does not accept them: now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
Hosea 8:14	For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah has multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour its castles.
Hosea 9:1	Do not rejoice, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for you have played the prostitute, departing from your God; you have loved wages upon every grain-floor.
Hosea 9:2	The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Hosea 9:3	They shall not dwell in Yehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
Hosea 9:4	They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Yehovah, nor shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices shall be to them as the bread of mourners; all who eat of it shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Yehovah.
Hosea 9:5	What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yehovah?
Hosea 9:6	For, look, they have gone away from destruction; yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
Hosea 9:7	The days of visitation have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man who has the spirit is mad, for the abundance of your iniquity, and because the enmity is great.
Hosea 9:8	Ephraim was a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his God.
Hosea 9:9	They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Hosea 9:10	I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
Hosea 9:11	As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
Hosea 9:12	Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Hosea 9:13	Ephraim, as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
Hosea 9:14	Give them, O Yehovah—what will you give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Hosea 9:15	All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.
Hosea 9:16	Ephraim is struck down, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet I will slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hosea 9:17	My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Hosea 10:1	Israel is a luxuriant vine, that puts forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made beautiful pillars.
Hosea 10:2	Their heart is divided; now they shall be found guilty: he will strike their altars, he will destroy their pillars.
Hosea 10:3	Surely now they shall say, We have no king; for we do not fear Yehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?
Hosea 10:4	They speak vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Hosea 10:5	The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for its people shall mourn over it, and its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.

Hosea 10:12	Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yehovah, until he comes and rains righteousness upon you.
Hosea 10:13	You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies; for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
Hosea 10:14	Therefore a tumult shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
Hosea 10:15	So shall Beth-el do to you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.
Hosea 11:1	When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Hosea 11:2	The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed to the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Hosea 11:3	Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
Hosea 11:4	I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as those who lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them.
Hosea 11:5	They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return to me.
Hosea 11:6	And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Hosea 11:7	And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to him who is on high, none at all will exalt him.
Hosea 11:8	How shall I give you up, Ephraim? how shall I cast you off, Israel? how shall I make you as Admah? how shall I set you as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.
Hosea 11:9	I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath.
Hosea 11:10	They shall walk after Yehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.
Hosea 11:11	They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them dwell in their houses, says Yehovah.
Hosea 11:12	Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still rules with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
Hosea 12:1	Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind: he continually multiplies lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Hosea 12:2	Yehovah has also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings he will recompense him.
Hosea 12:3	In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:
Hosea 12:4	yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spoke with us,
Hosea 12:5	even Yehovah, the God of hosts; Yehovah is his memorial name.
Hosea 12:6	Therefore turn to your God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for your God continually.
Hosea 12:7	He is a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loves to oppress.
Hosea 12:8	And Ephraim said, Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that would be sin.
Hosea 12:9	But I am Yehovah your God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Hosea 12:10	I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used similitudes.

Hosea 12:13	And by a prophet Yehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
Hosea 12:14	Ephraim has provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore his blood shall be left upon him, and his Lord shall return his reproach to him.
Hosea 13:1	When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Hosea 13:2	And now they sin more and more, and have made for themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.
Hosea 13:3	Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passes early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Hosea 13:4	Yet I am Yehovah your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall know no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
Hosea 13:5	I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Hosea 13:6	According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore they have forgotten me.
Hosea 13:7	Therefore I am to them as a lion; as a leopard I will watch by the way;
Hosea 13:8	I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear open the covering of their heart; and there I will devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
Hosea 13:9	It is your destruction, O Israel, that you are against me, against your help.
Hosea 13:10	Where now is your king, that he may save you in all your cities? and your judges, of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?
Hosea 13:11	I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
Hosea 13:12	The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.

Hosea 14:1	O Israel, return to Yehovah your God; for you have fallen by your iniquity.
Hosea 14:2	Take with you words, and return to Yehovah: say to him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.
Hosea 14:3	Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; nor will we say any more to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you the fatherless finds mercy.
Hosea 14:4	I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him.
Hosea 14:5	I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Hosea 14:6	His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Hosea 14:7	Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: its scent shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Hosea 14:8	Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is your fruit found.
Hosea 14:9	Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Yehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall in them.
Joel 1:1	The word of Yehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Joel 1:2	Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
Joel 1:3	Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
Joel 1:4	That which the cutting locust has left the swarming locust has eaten; and that which the swarming locust has left the hopping locust has eaten; and that which the hopping locust has left the destroying locust has eaten.
Joel 1:5	Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Joel 1:6	For a nation has come up upon my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
Joel 1:7	He has laid my vine waste, and stripped the bark of my fig-tree: he has made it clean bare, and cast it away; its branches are made white.
Joel 1:8	Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Joel 1:9	The meal-offering and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Yehovah; the priests, Yehovah’s ministers, mourn.
Joel 1:10	The field is laid waste, the land mourns; for the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
Joel 1:11	Be confounded, O you farmers, wail, O you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field has perished.
Joel 1:12	The vine is withered, and the fig-tree languishes; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field are withered: for joy is withered away from the sons of men.
Joel 1:13	Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God: for the meal-offering and the drink-offering are withheld from the house of your God.
Joel 1:14	Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the old men and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Yehovah your God, and cry to Yehovah.
Joel 1:15	Alas for the day! for the day of Yehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty it shall come.
Joel 1:16	Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Joel 1:17	The seeds rot under their clods; the storehouses are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the grain is withered.
Joel 1:18	How the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Joel 1:19	O Yehovah, to you I cry; for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
Joel 1:20	Yes, the beasts of the field pant to you; for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Joel 2:1	Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Yehovah comes, for it is near at hand;
Joel 2:2	a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there has never been the like, nor shall there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:3	A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has escaped them.
Joel 2:4	Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.
Joel 2:5	Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Joel 2:6	At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have grown pale.
Joel 2:7	They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march each one on his ways, and they do not break their ranks.
Joel 2:8	Nor does one thrust another; they march each one in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and do not break off their course.
Joel 2:9	They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joel 2:10	The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Joel 2:11	And Yehovah utters his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for he who executes his word is strong; for the day of Yehovah is great and very terrible; and who can endure it?
Joel 2:12	Yet even now, says Yehovah, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joel 2:13	and tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yehovah your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and relents of the evil.
Joel 2:14	Who knows whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering to Yehovah your God?
Joel 2:15	Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;
Joel 2:16	gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those who nurse at the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her room.
Joel 2:17	Let the priests, the ministers of Yehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare your people, O Yehovah, and do not give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
Joel 2:18	Then Yehovah was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
Joel 2:19	And Yehovah answered and said to his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and new wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
Joel 2:20	but I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its front into the eastern sea, and its rear into the western sea; and its stench shall come up, and its foul smell shall come up, because it has done great things.
Joel 2:21	Do not fear, O land, be glad and rejoice; for Yehovah has done great things.
Joel 2:22	Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine yield their strength.
Joel 2:23	Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yehovah your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month.
Joel 2:24	And the threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
Joel 2:25	And I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopping locust, and the destroying locust, and the cutting locust, my great army which I sent among you.
Joel 2:26	And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Yehovah your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.
Joel 2:27	And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame.
Joel 2:28	And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel 2:29	and also upon the male servants and upon the female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
Joel 2:30	And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yehovah comes.
Joel 2:32	And it shall come to pass, that whoever calls on the name of Yehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as Yehovah has said, and among the remnant those whom Yehovah calls.
Joel 3:1	For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joel 3:2	I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have divided my land,
Joel 3:3	and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
Joel 3:4	Yes, and what are you to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will you render me a recompense? and if you recompense me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense upon your own head.
Joel 3:5	Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,
Joel 3:6	and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border;
Joel 3:7	behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head;
Joel 3:8	and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Yehovah has spoken it.
Joel 3:9	Proclaim this among the nations; prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
Joel 3:10	Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Joel 3:11	Hasten, and come, all you nations round about, and gather yourselves together: there cause your mighty ones to come down, O Yehovah.
Joel 3:12	Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about.
Joel 3:13	Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Joel 3:14	Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of Yehovah is near in the valley of decision.
Joel 3:15	The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Joel 3:16	And Yehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but Yehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
Joel 3:17	So you shall know that I am Yehovah your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more.
Joel 3:18	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Yehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Joel 3:19	Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Joel 3:20	But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Joel 3:21	And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Yehovah dwells in Zion.

Amos 4:7	And I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were still three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and did not cause it to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece on which it did not rain withered.
Amos 4:8	So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you have not returned to me, says Yehovah.
Amos 4:9	I have struck you with blight and mildew: the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees the palmer-worm has devoured: yet you have not returned to me, says Yehovah.
Amos 4:10	I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men I have slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp come up even into your nostrils: yet you have not returned to me, says Yehovah.
Amos 4:11	I have overthrown cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet you have not returned to me, says Yehovah.
Amos 4:12	Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
Amos 4:13	For, behold, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth—Yehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.
Amos 5:1	Hear this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.
Amos 5:2	The virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
Amos 5:3	For thus says the Lord Yehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel.
Amos 5:4	For thus says Yehovah to the house of Israel, Seek me, and you shall live;
Amos 5:5	but do not seek Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass over to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nothing.
Amos 5:6	Seek Yehovah, and you shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
Amos 5:7	You who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,
Amos 5:8	seek him who makes the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the shadow of death into the morning, and makes the day dark with night; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth (Yehovah is his name);
Amos 5:9	who brings sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
Amos 5:10	They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks uprightly.
Amos 5:11	Therefore since you trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
Amos 5:12	For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins—you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the gate from their right.
Amos 5:13	Therefore he who is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time.
Amos 5:14	Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so Yehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you say.
Amos 5:15	Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Yehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Amos 5:16	Therefore thus says Yehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! alas! and they shall call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
Amos 5:17	And in all vineyards there shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of you, says Yehovah.
Amos 5:18	Woe to you who desire the day of Yehovah! Why would you have the day of Yehovah? It is darkness, and not light.
Amos 5:19	As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Amos 5:20	Shall not the day of Yehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amos 5:21	I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Amos 5:22	Even though you offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Amos 5:23	Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
Amos 5:24	But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Amos 5:25	Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:26	Indeed, you have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
Amos 5:27	Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says Yehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
Amos 6:1	Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
Amos 6:2	Pass over to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?
Amos 6:3	—you who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Amos 6:4	who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
Amos 6:5	who sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; who invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;
Amos 6:6	who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Amos 6:7	Therefore they shall now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of those who stretched themselves shall pass away.
Amos 6:8	The Lord Yehovah has sworn by himself, says Yehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.
Amos 6:9	And it shall happen, if ten men remain in one house, that they shall die.
Amos 6:10	And when a man’s uncle takes him up, even he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and says to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he shall say, Be quiet; for we may not make mention of the name of Yehovah.
Amos 6:11	For, behold, Yehovah commands, and the great house shall be struck with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Amos 6:12	Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? that you have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;
Amos 6:13	you who rejoice in a thing of nothing, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by our own strength?
Amos 6:14	For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, says Yehovah, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.
Amos 7:1	Thus the Lord Yehovah showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
Amos 7:2	And it happened that, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord Yehovah, please forgive: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
Amos 7:3	Yehovah relented concerning this: It shall not be, says Yehovah.
Amos 7:4	Thus the Lord Yehovah showed me: and, behold, the Lord Yehovah called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
Amos 7:5	Then I said, O Lord Yehovah, please cease: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
Amos 7:6	Yehovah relented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord Yehovah.
Amos 7:7	Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.
Amos 7:8	And Yehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumb-line. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more;
Amos 7:9	and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Amos 7:10	Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
Amos 7:11	For thus Amos says, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
Amos 7:12	Also Amaziah said to Amos, O you seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Amos 7:13	but do not prophesy again any more at Beth-el; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house.
Amos 7:14	Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a tender of sycamore-trees:
Amos 7:15	and Yehovah took me from following the flock, and Yehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
Amos 7:16	Now therefore hear the word of Yehovah: You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop your word against the house of Isaac;
Amos 7:17	therefore thus says Yehovah: Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.
Amos 8:1	Thus the Lord Yehovah showed me: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit.
Amos 8:2	And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Yehovah said to me, The end has come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Amos 8:3	And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, says the Lord Yehovah: the dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall cast them forth with silence.
Amos 8:4	Hear this, O you who would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,
Amos 8:5	saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
Amos 8:6	that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
Amos 8:7	Yehovah has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Amos 8:8	Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one who dwells in it mourn? indeed, it shall rise up wholly like the River; and it shall be troubled and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
Amos 8:9	And it shall happen in that day, says the Lord Yehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Amos 8:10	And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and its end as a bitter day.
Amos 8:11	Behold, the days come, says the Lord Yehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yehovah.
Amos 8:12	And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Yehovah, and shall not find it.
Amos 8:13	In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
Amos 8:14	Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As your god, O Dan, lives; and, As the way of Beer-sheba lives; they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos 9:1	I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Strike the capitals, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.
Amos 9:2	Though they dig into Sheol, from there my hand shall take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down.
Amos 9:3	And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there; and though they are hidden from my sight in the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
Amos 9:4	And though they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Amos 9:5	For the Lord, Yehovah of hosts, is he who touches the land and it melts, and all who dwell in it shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River, and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt;
Amos 9:6	it is he who builds his chambers in the heavens, and has founded his vault upon the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the face of the earth; Yehovah is his name.
Amos 9:7	Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says Yehovah. Have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Amos 9:8	Behold, the eyes of the Lord Yehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, says Yehovah.
Amos 9:9	For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel shall fall upon the earth.
Amos 9:10	All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us.
Amos 9:11	In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and close up its breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;
Amos 9:12	that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, says Yehovah who does this.
Amos 9:13	Behold, the days come, says Yehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
Amos 9:14	And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink their wine; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Amos 9:15	And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says Yehovah your God.
Obadiah 1:1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord Yehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Yehovah, and an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, Arise, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Obadiah 1:2	Behold, I have made you small among the nations: you are greatly despised.
Obadiah 1:3	The pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose dwelling is high; who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Obadiah 1:4	Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yehovah.
Obadiah 1:5	If thieves came to you, if robbers by night (how are you cut off!), would they not steal only until they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
Obadiah 1:6	How are the things of Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!
Obadiah 1:7	All the men of your confederacy have brought you on your way, even to the border: the men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; those who eat your bread lay a snare under you: there is no understanding in him.
Obadiah 1:8	Shall I not in that day, says Yehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
Obadiah 1:9	And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
Obadiah 1:10	For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.
Obadiah 1:11	In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
Obadiah 1:12	But do not look on the day of your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor speak proudly in the day of distress.
Obadiah 1:13	Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; indeed, do not look on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor lay hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
Obadiah 1:14	And do not stand in the crossway, to cut off those of his who escape; and do not deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
Obadiah 1:15	For the day of Yehovah is near upon all the nations: as you have done, it shall be done to you; your dealing shall return upon your own head.
Obadiah 1:16	For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; yes, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.
Obadiah 1:17	But in mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Obadiah 1:18	And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for Yehovah has spoken it.
Obadiah 1:19	And those of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and those of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Obadiah 1:20	And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, shall possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.
Obadiah 1:21	And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Yehovah’s.
Jonah 1:1	Now the word of Yehovah came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Jonah 1:2	Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness has come up before me.
Jonah 1:3	But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yehovah.
Jonah 1:4	But Yehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken.
Jonah 1:5	Then the mariners were afraid, and cried each man to his god; and they cast out the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
Jonah 1:6	So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What do you mean, O sleeper? arise, call upon your God, perhaps God will think upon us, that we may not perish.
Jonah 1:7	And they said each one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
Jonah 1:8	Then they said to him, Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is your occupation? and where do you come from? what is your country? and of what people are you?
Jonah 1:9	And he said to them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Yehovah, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.
Jonah 1:10	Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, What is this that you have done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yehovah, because he had told them.
Jonah 1:11	Then they said to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous.
Jonah 1:12	And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me out into the sea; so the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
Jonah 1:13	Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get back to the land; but they could not: for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them.
Jonah 1:14	Therefore they cried to Yehovah, and said, We beg you, O Yehovah, we beg you, let us not perish for this man’s life, and do not lay upon us innocent blood; for you, O Yehovah, have done as it pleased you.
Jonah 1:15	So they took up Jonah, and cast him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.
Jonah 1:16	Then the men feared Yehovah exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice to Yehovah, and made vows.
Jonah 1:17	And Yehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:1	Then Jonah prayed to Yehovah his God out of the fish’s belly.
Jonah 2:2	And he said, I called by reason of my affliction to Yehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And you heard my voice.
Jonah 2:3	For you cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was around me; All your waves and your billows passed over me.
Jonah 2:4	And I said, I am cast out from before your eyes; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.
Jonah 2:5	The waters surrounded me, even to the soul; The deep was around me; The weeds were wrapped about my head.
Jonah 2:6	I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me forever: Yet you have brought up my life from the pit, O Yehovah my God.
Jonah 2:7	When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yehovah; And my prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
Jonah 2:8	Those who regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy.
Jonah 2:9	But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Yehovah.
Jonah 2:10	And Yehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah 3:1	And the word of Yehovah came to Jonah the second time, saying,
Jonah 3:2	Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the preaching that I tell you.
Jonah 3:3	So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, of three days’ journey.
Jonah 3:4	And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Jonah 3:5	And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jonah 3:6	And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and removed his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jonah 3:7	And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
Jonah 3:8	but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily to God: yes, let them turn each one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
Jonah 3:9	Who knows whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we may not perish?
Jonah 3:10	And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil which he said he would do to them; and he did not do it.
Jonah 4:1	But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
Jonah 4:2	And he prayed to Yehovah, and said, Please, O Yehovah, was not this my saying, when I was still in my country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil.
Jonah 4:3	Therefore now, O Yehovah, take, I beg you, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Jonah 4:4	And Yehovah said, Do you do well to be angry?
Jonah 4:5	Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
Jonah 4:6	And Yehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his distress. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the gourd.
Jonah 4:7	But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it struck the gourd, so that it withered.
Jonah 4:8	And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
Jonah 4:9	And God said to Jonah, Do you do well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even to death.
Jonah 4:10	And Yehovah said, You have had regard for the gourd, for which you have not labored, nor made it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Jonah 4:11	and should I not have regard for Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also many cattle?
Micah 1:1	The word of Yehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Micah 1:2	Hear, you peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is in it: and let the Lord Yehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Micah 1:3	For, behold, Yehovah comes out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Micah 1:4	And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be split, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place.
Micah 1:5	For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
Micah 1:6	Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, and as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.
Micah 1:7	And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her wages shall be burned with fire, and all her idols I will lay desolate; for from the wages of a prostitute she has gathered them, and to the wages of a prostitute they shall return.
Micah 1:8	For this I will lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
Micah 1:9	For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah; it reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Micah 1:10	Do not tell it in Gath, do not weep at all: at Beth-le-aphrah I have rolled myself in the dust.
Micah 1:11	Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the inhabitant of Zaanan has not come out; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you its support.
Micah 1:12	For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yehovah to the gate of Jerusalem.
Micah 1:13	Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
Micah 1:14	Therefore you shall give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
Micah 1:15	I will yet bring to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess you: the glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam.
Micah 1:16	Make yourself bald, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight: enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they have gone into captivity from you.
Micah 2:1	Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Micah 2:2	And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Micah 2:3	Therefore thus says Yehovah: Behold, against this family I devise an evil, from which you shall not remove your necks, nor shall you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
Micah 2:4	In that day they shall take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined: he changes the portion of my people: how he removes it from me! to the rebellious he divides our fields.
Micah 2:5	Therefore you shall have no one who shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Yehovah.
Micah 2:6	Do not prophesy, thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart.
Micah 2:7	Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Yehovah restricted? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?
Micah 2:8	But of late my people has risen up as an enemy: you strip the robe from the garment from those who pass by securely as men averse to war.
Micah 2:9	The women of my people you cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my glory forever.
Micah 2:10	Arise, and depart; for this is not your resting place; because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Micah 2:11	If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Micah 2:12	I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Micah 2:13	The breaker has gone up before them: they have broken out and passed on to the gate, and have gone out through it; and their king has passed on before them, and Yehovah at the head of them.
Micah 3:1	And I said, Hear, please, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?
Micah 3:2	you who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from them, and their flesh from their bones;
Micah 3:3	who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Micah 3:4	Then they shall cry to Yehovah, but he will not answer them; indeed, he will hide his face from them at that time, just as they have worked evil in their doings.
Micah 3:5	Thus says Yehovah concerning the prophets who make my people err; who bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoever does not put something into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:
Micah 3:6	Therefore it shall be night to you, that you shall have no vision; and it shall be dark to you, that you shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Micah 3:7	And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; indeed, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
Micah 3:8	But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:9	Hear this, please, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
Micah 3:10	They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Micah 3:11	Its heads judge for reward, and its priests teach for hire, and its prophets divine for money: yet they lean upon Yehovah, and say, Is not Yehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
Micah 3:12	Therefore Zion shall for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Micah 4:1	But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Yehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.
Micah 4:2	And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Yehovah from Jerusalem;
Micah 4:3	and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah 4:4	But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Yehovah of hosts has spoken it.
Micah 4:5	For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of Yehovah our God forever and ever.
Micah 4:6	In that day, says Yehovah, I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
Micah 4:7	and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yehovah will reign over them in Mount Zion from now on even forever.
Micah 4:8	And you, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it shall come, indeed, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah 4:9	Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you, has your counselor perished, that pangs have taken hold of you as of a woman in labor?
Micah 4:10	Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor; for now you shall go out of the city, and shall dwell in the field, and shall come even to Babylon: there you shall be rescued; there Yehovah will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
Micah 4:11	And now many nations are assembled against you, who say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see our desire upon Zion.
Micah 4:12	But they do not know the thoughts of Yehovah, nor do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing floor.
Micah 4:13	Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you shall beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Yehovah, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
Micah 5:1	Now you shall gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops: he has laid siege against us; they shall strike the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Micah 5:2	But you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, who are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of you one shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:3	Therefore he will give them up, until the time that she who travails has brought forth: then the residue of his brothers shall return to the children of Israel.
Micah 5:4	And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Yehovah, in the majesty of the name of Yehovah his God: and they shall abide; for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.
Micah 5:5	And this man shall be our peace. When the Assyrian comes into our land, and when he treads in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Micah 5:6	And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its entrances: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.
Micah 5:7	And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Yehovah, as showers upon the grass, that do not wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
Micah 5:8	And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.
Micah 5:9	Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all your enemies be cut off.
Micah 5:10	And it shall come to pass in that day, says Yehovah, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you, and will destroy your chariots:
Micah 5:11	and I will cut off the cities of your land, and will throw down all your strongholds.
Micah 5:12	And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:
Micah 5:13	and I will cut off your graven images and your pillars out of the midst of you; and you shall no more bow down to the work of your hands;
Micah 5:14	and I will pluck up your Asherim out of the midst of you; and I will destroy your cities.
Micah 5:15	And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations which did not hearken.
Micah 6:1	Hear now what Yehovah says: Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
Micah 6:2	Hear, O you mountains, Yehovah’s controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yehovah has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
Micah 6:3	O my people, what have I done to you? and how have I wearied you? testify against me.
Micah 6:4	For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Micah 6:5	O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him; remember from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yehovah.
Micah 6:6	With what shall I come before Yehovah, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Micah 6:7	will Yehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Micah 6:8	He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does Yehovah require of you, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:9	The voice of Yehovah cries to the city, and the man of wisdom will see your name: hear the rod, and who has appointed it.
Micah 6:10	Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?
Micah 6:11	Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?
Micah 6:12	For its rich men are full of violence, and its inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Micah 6:13	Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound; I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Micah 6:14	You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your humiliation shall be in the midst of you: and you shall put away, but shall not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
Micah 6:15	You shall sow, but shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint yourself with oil; and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.
Micah 6:16	For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels; that I may make you a desolation, and its inhabitants a hissing: and you shall bear the reproach of my people.
Micah 7:1	Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desires the first ripe fig.
Micah 7:2	The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Micah 7:3	Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asks, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he utters the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.
Micah 7:4	The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge: the day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now shall be their perplexity.
Micah 7:5	Do not trust in a neighbor; do not put confidence in a friend; keep the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom.
Micah 7:6	For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Micah 7:7	But as for me, I will look to Yehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Micah 7:8	Do not rejoice against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Yehovah will be a light to me.
Micah 7:9	I will bear the indignation of Yehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me: he will bring me out to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
Micah 7:10	Then my enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is Yehovah your God? My eyes shall see my desire upon her; now she shall be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Micah 7:11	A day for building your walls! in that day the decree shall be far removed.
Micah 7:12	In that day they shall come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Micah 7:13	Yet the land shall be desolate because of those who dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.
Micah 7:14	Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your heritage, who dwell alone, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Micah 7:15	As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt I will show to them marvelous things.
Micah 7:16	The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf.
Micah 7:17	They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their strongholds; they shall come with fear to Yehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of you.
Micah 7:18	Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in lovingkindness.
Micah 7:19	He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7:20	You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the lovingkindness to Abraham, which you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Nahum 1:1	The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Nahum 1:2	Yehovah is a jealous God and avenges; Yehovah avenges and is full of wrath; Yehovah takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
Nahum 1:3	Yehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty: Yehovah has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Nahum 1:4	He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Nahum 1:5	The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, indeed, the world, and all who dwell in it.
Nahum 1:6	Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
Nahum 1:7	Yehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Nahum 1:8	But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Nahum 1:9	What do you devise against Yehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Nahum 1:10	For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
Nahum 1:11	There is one who has gone out from you, who devises evil against Yehovah, who counsels wickedness.
Nahum 1:12	Thus says Yehovah: Though they are in full strength, and likewise many, even so they shall be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Nahum 1:13	And now I will break his yoke from you, and will burst your bonds apart.
Nahum 1:14	And Yehovah has given commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods I will cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make your grave; for you are vile.
Nahum 1:15	Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, perform your vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
Nahum 2:1	He who dashes in pieces has come up against you: keep the fortress, watch the way, make your loins strong, fortify your power mightily.
Nahum 2:2	For Yehovah restores the majesty of Jacob, as the majesty of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine branches.
Nahum 2:3	The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are brandished.
Nahum 2:4	The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways: their appearance is like torches; they run like the lightnings.
Nahum 2:5	He remembers his nobles: they stumble in their march; they hurry to its wall, and the mantelet is prepared.
Nahum 2:6	The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
Nahum 2:7	And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her female servants moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
Nahum 2:8	But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, they cry; but no one looks back.
Nahum 2:9	Take the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all precious furnishings.
Nahum 2:10	She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melts, and the knees knock together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all have grown pale.
Nahum 2:11	Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion’s cub, and no one made them afraid?
Nahum 2:12	The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with torn flesh.
Nahum 2:13	Behold, I am against you, says Yehovah of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no more be heard.
Nahum 3:1	Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and plunder; the prey does not depart.
Nahum 3:2	The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots,
Nahum 3:3	the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies; they stumble upon their bodies;—
Nahum 3:4	because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the beautiful prostitute, the mistress of witchcrafts, who sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Nahum 3:5	Behold, I am against you, says Yehovah of hosts, and I will uncover your skirts upon your face; and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
Nahum 3:6	And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a spectacle.
Nahum 3:7	And it shall come to pass, that all those who look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? where shall I seek comforters for you?
Nahum 3:8	Are you better than No-amon, which was situated among the rivers, which had the waters all around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?
Nahum 3:9	Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
Nahum 3:10	Yet she was carried away, she went into captivity; her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Nahum 3:11	You also shall be drunk; you shall be hidden; you also shall seek a stronghold because of the enemy.
Nahum 3:12	All your fortresses shall be like fig trees with the first ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nahum 3:13	Behold, your people in the midst of you are women; the gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies: the fire has devoured your bars.
Nahum 3:14	Draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; make strong the brick kiln.
Nahum 3:15	There the fire shall devour you; the sword shall cut you off; it shall devour you like the creeping locust: make yourself many as the creeping locust; make yourself many as the locust.
Nahum 3:16	You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the creeping locust ravages, and flies away.
Nahum 3:17	Your princes are as the locusts, and your marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Nahum 3:18	Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; your nobles are at rest; your people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
Nahum 3:19	There is no relief for your hurt; your wound is grievous: all who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for upon whom has your wickedness not passed continually?
Habakkuk 1:1	The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Habakkuk 1:2	O Yehovah, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you of violence, and you will not save.
Habakkuk 1:3	Why do you show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up.
Habakkuk 1:4	Therefore the law is slackened, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
Habakkuk 1:5	Behold among the nations, and look, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days, which you will not believe though it is told you.
Habakkuk 1:6	For, look, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
Habakkuk 1:7	They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
Habakkuk 1:8	Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are fiercer than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yes, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hastens to devour.
Habakkuk 1:9	They all come for violence; the set of their faces is forward; and they gather captives like the sand.
Habakkuk 1:10	Yes, he scoffs at kings, and princes are a derision to him; he derides every stronghold; for he heaps up dust, and takes it.
Habakkuk 1:11	Then shall he sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty, even he whose might is his god.
Habakkuk 1:12	Are you not from everlasting, O Yehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Yehovah, you have ordained him for judgment; and you, O Rock, have established him for correction.
Habakkuk 1:13	You who are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and who cannot look on perverseness, why do you look on those who deal treacherously, and hold your peace when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he;
Habakkuk 1:14	and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Habakkuk 1:15	He takes up all of them with the hook, he catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet: therefore he rejoices and is glad.
Habakkuk 1:16	Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet; because by them his portion is fat, and his food plentiful.
Habakkuk 1:17	Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
Habakkuk 2:1	I will stand at my watch, and station myself on the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
Habakkuk 2:2	And Yehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, so that he who reads it may run.
Habakkuk 2:3	For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.
Habakkuk 2:4	Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:5	Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, who does not stay at home; who enlarges his desire like Sheol, and he is like death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.
Habakkuk 2:6	Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! How long? And who loads himself with pledges!
Habakkuk 2:7	Shall they not rise up suddenly who shall bite you, and awake who shall vex you, and you shall be booty for them?
Habakkuk 2:8	Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
Habakkuk 2:9	Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
Habakkuk 2:10	You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
Habakkuk 2:11	For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Habakkuk 2:12	Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
Habakkuk 2:13	Behold, is it not of Yehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Habakkuk 2:14	For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:15	Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, to you who add your venom, and make him drunk also, that you may look on their nakedness!
Habakkuk 2:16	You are filled with shame, and not glory: drink also, and be as one uncircumcised; the cup of Yehovah’s right hand shall come around to you, and foul shame shall be on your glory.
Habakkuk 2:17	For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover you, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
Habakkuk 2:18	What profits the graven image, that its maker has graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that the one who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
Habakkuk 2:19	Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake; to the mute stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Habakkuk 2:20	But Yehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Habakkuk 3:1	A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
Habakkuk 3:2	O Yehovah, I have heard the report of you, and am afraid: O Yehovah, revive your work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
Habakkuk 3:3	God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. [Selah His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.
Habakkuk 3:4	And his brightness was as the light; He had rays coming forth from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
Habakkuk 3:5	Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
Habakkuk 3:6	He stood, and measured the earth; He looked, and drove apart the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills bowed; His goings were as of old.
Habakkuk 3:7	I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
Habakkuk 3:8	Was Yehovah displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, Or your wrath against the sea, That you rode upon your horses, Upon your chariots of salvation?
Habakkuk 3:9	Your bow was made quite bare; The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah You split the earth with rivers.
Habakkuk 3:10	The mountains saw you, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high.
Habakkuk 3:11	The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of your arrows as they went, At the shining of your glittering spear.
Habakkuk 3:12	You marched through the land in indignation; You threshed the nations in anger.
Habakkuk 3:13	You went forth for the salvation of your people, For the salvation of your anointed; You wounded the head out of the house of the wicked man, Laying bare the foundation even to the neck. [Selah
Habakkuk 3:14	You pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors: They came like a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
Habakkuk 3:15	You trampled the sea with your horses, The heap of mighty waters.
Habakkuk 3:16	I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people who invade us.
Habakkuk 3:17	For though the fig tree shall not flourish, Nor shall fruit be on the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Habakkuk 3:18	Yet I will rejoice in Yehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:19	Yehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he makes my feet like hinds’ feet, And will make me walk upon my high places. For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.
Zephaniah 1:1	The word of Yehovah which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Zephaniah 1:2	I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, says Yehovah.
Zephaniah 1:3	I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the ground, says Yehovah.
Zephaniah 1:4	And I will stretch out my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarim with the priests;
Zephaniah 1:5	and those who bow down to the host of heaven upon the housetops; and those who bow down, who swear to Yehovah and swear by Malcam;
Zephaniah 1:6	and those who are turned back from following Yehovah; and those who have not sought Yehovah, nor inquired after him.
Zephaniah 1:7	Hold your peace at the presence of the Lord Yehovah; for the day of Yehovah is at hand: for Yehovah has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests.
Zephaniah 1:8	And it shall happen in the day of Yehovah’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
Zephaniah 1:9	And in that day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
Zephaniah 1:10	And in that day, says Yehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
Zephaniah 1:11	Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all those who were laden with silver are cut off.
Zephaniah 1:12	And it shall happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men who are settled on their lees, who say in their heart, Yehovah will not do good, nor will he do evil.
Zephaniah 1:13	And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: indeed, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine of them.
Zephaniah 1:14	The great day of Yehovah is near, it is near and hastens greatly, even the voice of the day of Yehovah; the mighty man cries there bitterly.
Zephaniah 1:15	That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Zephaniah 1:16	a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.
Zephaniah 1:17	And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.
Zephaniah 1:18	Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Yehovah’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make an end, indeed, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
Zephaniah 2:1	Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O nation that has no shame;
Zephaniah 2:2	before the decree brings forth, before the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Yehovah comes upon you, before the day of Yehovah’s anger comes upon you.
Zephaniah 2:3	Seek Yehovah, all you meek of the earth, who have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be you will be hidden in the day of Yehovah’s anger.
Zephaniah 2:4	For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
Zephaniah 2:5	Woe to the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yehovah is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Zephaniah 2:6	And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
Zephaniah 2:7	And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed their flocks there; in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down in the evening; for Yehovah their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.
Zephaniah 2:8	I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Zephaniah 2:9	Therefore as I live, says Yehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall make a prey of them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.
Zephaniah 2:10	This they shall have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yehovah of hosts.
Zephaniah 2:11	Yehovah will be terrible to them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, everyone from his place, even all the isles of the nations.
Zephaniah 2:12	You Ethiopians also, you shall be slain by my sword.
Zephaniah 2:13	And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.
Zephaniah 2:14	And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the capitals of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he has laid bare the cedar-work.
Zephaniah 2:15	This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how she has become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! everyone who passes by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Zephaniah 3:1	Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city!
Zephaniah 3:2	She did not obey the voice; she did not receive correction; she did not trust in Yehovah; she did not draw near to her God.
Zephaniah 3:3	Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the next day.
Zephaniah 3:4	Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Zephaniah 3:5	Yehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning he brings his justice to light, he does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame.
Zephaniah 3:6	I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passes by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
Zephaniah 3:7	I said, Only fear me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
Zephaniah 3:8	Therefore wait for me, says Yehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Zephaniah 3:9	For then I will turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Yehovah, to serve him with one consent.
Zephaniah 3:10	From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.
Zephaniah 3:11	In that day you shall not be put to shame for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you shall no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
Zephaniah 3:12	But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Yehovah.
Zephaniah 3:13	The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Zephaniah 3:14	Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Zephaniah 3:15	Yehovah has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy: the King of Israel, even Yehovah, is in the midst of you; you shall not fear evil any more.
Zephaniah 3:16	In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Do not fear; O Zion, do not let your hands be slack.
Zephaniah 3:17	Yehovah your God is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:18	I will gather those who sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of you; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach.
Zephaniah 3:19	Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; and I will save what is lame, and gather what was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame has been in all the earth.
Zephaniah 3:20	At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says Yehovah.
Haggai 1:1	In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of Yehovah came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
Haggai 1:2	Thus speaks Yehovah of hosts, saying, This people says, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Yehovah’s house to be built.
Haggai 1:3	Then the word of Yehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai 1:4	Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?
Haggai 1:5	Now therefore thus says Yehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Haggai 1:6	You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes.
Haggai 1:7	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
Haggai 1:8	Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says Yehovah.
Haggai 1:9	You looked for much, and, look, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says Yehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you runs to his own house.
Haggai 1:10	Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Haggai 1:11	And I called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, and on the oil, and on what the ground brings forth, and on men, and on cattle, and on all the labor of the hands.
Haggai 1:12	Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yehovah their God had sent him; and the people feared before Yehovah.
Haggai 1:13	Then Haggai, Yehovah’s messenger, spoke in Yehovah’s message to the people, saying, I am with you, says Yehovah.
Haggai 1:14	And Yehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yehovah of hosts, their God,
Haggai 1:15	on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
Haggai 2:1	In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Yehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai 2:2	Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
Haggai 2:3	Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?
Haggai 2:4	Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Yehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says Yehovah, and work: for I am with you, says Yehovah of hosts,
Haggai 2:5	according to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit remained among you: do not fear.
Haggai 2:6	For thus says Yehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Haggai 2:7	and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, says Yehovah of hosts.
Haggai 2:8	The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says Yehovah of hosts.
Haggai 2:9	The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says Yehovah of hosts; and in this place I will give peace, says Yehovah of hosts.
Haggai 2:10	On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai 2:11	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
Haggai 2:12	If one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt touches bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Haggai 2:13	Then Haggai said, If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touches any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Haggai 2:14	Then Haggai answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says Yehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
Haggai 2:15	And now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in the temple of Yehovah.
Haggai 2:16	Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty vessels, there were only twenty.
Haggai 2:17	I struck you with blight and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet you did not turn to me, says Yehovah.
Haggai 2:18	Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yehovah’s temple was laid, consider it.
Haggai 2:19	Is the seed yet in the barn? yes, the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not brought forth; from this day I will bless you.
Haggai 2:20	And the word of Yehovah came the second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
Haggai 2:21	Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
Haggai 2:22	and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.
Haggai 2:23	On that day, says Yehovah of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says Yehovah, and will make you like a signet; for I have chosen you, says Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 1:1	In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yehovah came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Zechariah 1:2	Yehovah was very angry with your fathers.
Zechariah 1:3	Therefore say to them, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Return to me, says Yehovah of hosts, and I will return to you, says Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 1:4	Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts, Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil deeds: but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yehovah.
Zechariah 1:5	Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live forever?
Zechariah 1:6	But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Just as Yehovah of hosts purposed to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our deeds, so has he dealt with us.
Zechariah 1:7	On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yehovah came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,
Zechariah 1:8	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 ravine; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white.
Zechariah 1:9	Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are.
Zechariah 1:10	And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Yehovah has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Zechariah 1:11	And they answered the angel of Yehovah who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sits still, and is at rest.
Zechariah 1:12	Then the angel of Yehovah answered and said, O Yehovah of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?
Zechariah 1:13	And Yehovah answered the angel who talked with me with good words, even comforting words.
Zechariah 1:14	So the angel who talked with me said to me, Cry out, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Zechariah 1:15	And I am very angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was only a little angry, and they furthered the disaster.
Zechariah 1:16	Therefore thus says Yehovah: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, says Yehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.
Zechariah 1:17	Cry out again, saying, Thus says Yehovah of hosts: My cities shall again overflow with prosperity; and Yehovah shall again comfort Zion, and shall again choose Jerusalem.
Zechariah 1:18	And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns.
Zechariah 1:19	And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Zechariah 1:20	And Yehovah showed me four craftsmen.
Zechariah 1:21	Then I said, What are these coming to do? And he spoke, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.
Zechariah 2:1	And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Zechariah 2:2	Then I said, Where are you going? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth, and what is its length.
Zechariah 2:3	And, behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him,
Zechariah 2:4	and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it.
Zechariah 2:5	For I, says Yehovah, will be to her a wall of fire all around, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Zechariah 2:6	Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, says Yehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, says Yehovah.
Zechariah 2:7	Ho Zion, escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.
Zechariah 2:8	For thus says Yehovah of hosts: After glory he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
Zechariah 2:9	For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be plunder for those who served them; and you shall know that Yehovah of hosts has sent me.
Zechariah 2:10	Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you, says Yehovah.
Zechariah 2:11	And many nations shall join themselves to Yehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
Zechariah 2:12	And Yehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Zechariah 2:13	Be silent, all flesh, before Yehovah; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation.
Zechariah 3:1	And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.
Zechariah 3:2	And Yehovah said to Satan, Yehovah rebuke you, O Satan; indeed, Yehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Zechariah 3:3	Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel.
Zechariah 3:4	And he answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments off him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel.
Zechariah 3:5	And I said, Let them set a clean turban upon his head. So they set a clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of Yehovah was standing by.
Zechariah 3:6	And the angel of Yehovah solemnly charged Joshua, saying,
Zechariah 3:7	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep my charge, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
Zechariah 3:8	Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companions who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.
Zechariah 3:9	For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its inscription, says Yehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Zechariah 3:10	In that day, says Yehovah of hosts, you shall invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah 4:1	And the angel who talked with me came again, and woke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.
Zechariah 4:2	And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon its top;
Zechariah 4:3	and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon its left side.
Zechariah 4:4	And I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Zechariah 4:5	Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:6	Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of Yehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 4:7	Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, to it.
Zechariah 4:8	Moreover the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Zechariah 4:9	The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that Yehovah of hosts has sent me to you.
Zechariah 4:10	For who has despised the day of small things? for these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel; these are the eyes of Yehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Zechariah 4:11	Then I answered, and said to him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the lampstand and upon its left side?
Zechariah 4:12	And I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?
Zechariah 4:13	And he answered me and said, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah 4:14	Then he said, These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Zechariah 5:1	Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying scroll.
Zechariah 5:2	And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.
Zechariah 5:3	Then he said to me, This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land: for everyone who steals shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and everyone who swears shall be cut off on the other side according to it.
Zechariah 5:4	I will cause it to go out, says Yehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with its timber and its stones.
Zechariah 5:5	Then the angel who talked with me went out, and said to me, Lift up now your eyes, and see what this is that goes out.
Zechariah 5:6	And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes out. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land
Zechariah 5:7	(and, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.
Zechariah 5:8	And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon its mouth.
Zechariah 5:9	Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven.
Zechariah 5:10	Then I said to the angel who talked with me, Where are these carrying the ephah?
Zechariah 5:11	And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.
Zechariah 6:1	And again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
Zechariah 6:2	In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Zechariah 6:3	and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled strong horses.
Zechariah 6:4	Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Zechariah 6:5	And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Zechariah 6:6	The chariot with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went out toward the south country.
Zechariah 6:7	And the strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Go from here, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
Zechariah 6:8	Then he cried to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
Zechariah 6:9	And the word of Yehovah came to me, saying,
Zechariah 6:10	Take from the exiles, even from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon;
Zechariah 6:11	yes, take from them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;
Zechariah 6:12	and speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Yehovah;
Zechariah 6:13	even he shall build the temple of Yehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Zechariah 6:14	And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Yehovah.
Zechariah 6:15	And those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yehovah; and you shall know that Yehovah of hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will diligently obey the voice of Yehovah your God.
Zechariah 7:1	And it happened in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Yehovah came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chislev.
Zechariah 7:2	Now the people of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Yehovah,
Zechariah 7:3	and to speak to the priests of the house of Yehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Zechariah 7:4	Then the word of Yehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
Zechariah 7:5	Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month, even these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, even to me?
Zechariah 7:6	And when you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
Zechariah 7:7	Should you not hear the words which Yehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?
Zechariah 7:8	And the word of Yehovah came to Zechariah, saying,
Zechariah 7:9	Thus has Yehovah of hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother;
Zechariah 7:10	and do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.
Zechariah 7:11	But they refused to listen, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
Zechariah 7:12	Indeed, they made their hearts like flint, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Yehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore great wrath came from Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 7:13	And it has come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Yehovah of hosts;
Zechariah 7:14	but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Zechariah 8:1	And the word of Yehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
Zechariah 8:2	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.
Zechariah 8:3	Thus says Yehovah: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth; and the mountain of Yehovah of hosts, The holy mountain.
Zechariah 8:4	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand because of great age.
Zechariah 8:5	And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.
Zechariah 8:6	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes? says Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 8:7	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Zechariah 8:8	and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Zechariah 8:9	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets who were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
Zechariah 8:10	For before those days there were no wages for man, nor any wages for beast; nor was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary: for I set all men every one against his neighbor.
Zechariah 8:11	But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days, says Yehovah of hosts.
Zechariah 8:12	For there shall be the seed of peace; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
Zechariah 8:13	And it shall come to pass that, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, but let your hands be strong.
Zechariah 8:14	For thus says Yehovah of hosts: As I purposed to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says Yehovah of hosts, and I did not relent;
Zechariah 8:15	so again I have purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: do not fear.
Zechariah 8:16	These are the things that you shall do: Speak every man the truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;
Zechariah 8:17	and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, says Yehovah.
Zechariah 8:18	And the word of Yehovah of hosts came to me, saying,
Zechariah 8:19	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace.
Zechariah 8:20	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: It shall again come to pass, that there shall come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;
Zechariah 8:21	and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go quickly to entreat the favor of Yehovah, and to seek Yehovah of hosts: I will go also.
Zechariah 8:22	Indeed, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Yehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yehovah.
Zechariah 8:23	Thus says Yehovah of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the robe of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
Zechariah 9:1	The burden of the word of Yehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yehovah);
Zechariah 9:2	and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise.
Zechariah 9:3	And Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like dust, and fine gold like the mud of the streets.
Zechariah 9:4	Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Zechariah 9:5	Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall writhe in great anguish; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Zechariah 9:6	And a mixed people shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Zechariah 9:7	And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Zechariah 9:8	And I will encamp around my house against the army, that none may pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now I have seen with my eyes.
Zechariah 9:9	Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your king comes to you; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:10	And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace to the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Zechariah 9:11	As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which there is no water.
Zechariah 9:12	Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope: even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
Zechariah 9:13	For I have bent Judah as my bow, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Zechariah 9:14	And Yehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go out like the lightning; and the Lord Yehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Zechariah 9:15	Yehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as with wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
Zechariah 9:16	And Yehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be like the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
Zechariah 9:17	For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
Zechariah 10:1	Ask rain of Yehovah in the time of the latter rain, even of Yehovah who makes lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to everyone grass in the field.
Zechariah 10:2	For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
Zechariah 10:3	My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; for Yehovah of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his majestic horse in the battle.
Zechariah 10:4	From him shall come forth the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together.
Zechariah 10:5	And they shall be like mighty men, treading down their enemies in the mud of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Yehovah is with them; and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.
Zechariah 10:6	And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Yehovah their God, and I will hear them.
Zechariah 10:7	And those of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine; yes, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be glad in Yehovah.
Zechariah 10:8	I will whistle for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased.
Zechariah 10:9	And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
Zechariah 10:10	I will bring them back also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and room shall not be found for them.
Zechariah 10:11	And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart.
Zechariah 10:12	And I will strengthen them in Yehovah; and they shall walk up and down in his name, says Yehovah.
Zechariah 11:1	Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
Zechariah 11:2	Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic ones are destroyed: wail, O you oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has come down.
Zechariah 11:3	A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! for the pride of the Jordan is laid waste.
Zechariah 11:4	Thus said Yehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;
Zechariah 11:5	whose buyers kill them, and hold themselves not guilty; and those who sell them say, Blessed be Yehovah, for I am rich; and their own shepherds do not pity them.
Zechariah 11:6	For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land, says Yehovah; but, behold, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
Zechariah 11:7	So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Zechariah 11:8	And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
Zechariah 11:9	Then I said, I will not feed you: what dies, let it die; and what is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat every one the flesh of another.
Zechariah 11:10	And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
Zechariah 11:11	And it was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock who paid attention to me knew that it was the word of Yehovah.
Zechariah 11:12	And I said to them, If you think it good, give me my wages; and if not, refrain. So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
Zechariah 11:13	And Yehovah said to me, Throw it to the potter, the lordly price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yehovah.
Zechariah 11:14	Then I cut in two my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Zechariah 11:15	And Yehovah said to me, Take for yourself once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Zechariah 11:16	For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, nor seek those who are scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor feed what is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
Zechariah 11:17	Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Zechariah 12:1	The burden of the word of Yehovah concerning Israel. Thus says Yehovah, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:
Zechariah 12:2	Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the surrounding peoples, and upon Judah also shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:3	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall be severely injured; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.
Zechariah 12:4	In that day, says Yehovah, I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open my eyes upon the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.
Zechariah 12:5	And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Yehovah of hosts their God.
Zechariah 12:6	In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right hand and on the left; and the people of Jerusalem shall again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:7	Yehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah.
Zechariah 12:8	In that day Yehovah shall defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David; and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of Yehovah before them.
Zechariah 12:9	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:10	And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah 12:11	In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Zechariah 12:12	And the land shall mourn, every family by itself; the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Zechariah 12:13	the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Zechariah 12:14	all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.
Zechariah 13:1	In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
Zechariah 13:2	And it shall come to pass in that day, says Yehovah of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zechariah 13:3	And it shall come to pass that, when anyone again prophesies, then his father and his mother who fathered him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of Yehovah; and his father and his mother who fathered him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.
Zechariah 13:4	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesies; nor shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:
Zechariah 13:5	but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondservant from my youth.
Zechariah 13:6	And one shall say to him, What are these wounds between your arms? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Zechariah 13:7	Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is my companion, says Yehovah of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.
Zechariah 13:8	And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says Yehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left in it.
Zechariah 13:9	And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them as gold is tested. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Yehovah is my God.
Zechariah 14:1	Behold, a day of Yehovah is coming, when your plunder shall be divided in the midst of you.
Zechariah 14:2	For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped; and half of the city shall go out into captivity, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zechariah 14:3	Then Yehovah shall go out, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 14:4	And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be split in the middle toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:5	And you shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yes, you shall flee, just as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Yehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with you.
Zechariah 14:6	And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves:
Zechariah 14:7	but it shall be one day which is known to Yehovah; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light.
Zechariah 14:8	And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter it shall be.
Zechariah 14:9	And Yehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day Yehovah shall be one, and his name one.
Zechariah 14:10	All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
Zechariah 14:11	And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.
Zechariah 14:12	And this shall be the plague with which Yehovah will strike all the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall rot away in their sockets, and their tongue shall rot away in their mouth.
Zechariah 14:13	And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great panic from Yehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.
Zechariah 14:14	And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
Zechariah 14:15	And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the donkey, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, like that plague.
Zechariah 14:16	And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17	And it shall be, that whoever of all the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yehovah of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain.
Zechariah 14:18	And if the family of Egypt does not go up, and does not come, neither shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague with which Yehovah will strike the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:19	This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:20	In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY To YEHOVAH; and the pots in Yehovah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah 14:21	Indeed, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to Yehovah of hosts; and all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them: and in that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 1:1	The burden of the word of Yehovah to Israel by Malachi.
Malachi 1:2	I have loved you, says Yehovah. Yet you say, How have you loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? says Yehovah: yet I loved Jacob;
Malachi 1:3	but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.
Malachi 1:4	Though Edom says, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus says Yehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The territory of wickedness, and The people against whom Yehovah has indignation forever.
Malachi 1:5	And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, Yehovah be magnified beyond the border of Israel.
Malachi 1:6	A son honors his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is my honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? says Yehovah of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And you say, How have we despised your name?
Malachi 1:7	You offer polluted bread upon my altar. And you say, How have we polluted you? In that you say, The table of Yehovah is contemptible.
Malachi 1:8	And when you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Present it now to your governor; will he be pleased with you? or will he show you favor? says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 1:9	And now, please, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us: this has been by your means: will he show favor to any of you? says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 1:10	Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says Yehovah of hosts, nor will I accept an offering from your hand.
Malachi 1:11	For from the rising of the sun even to its setting my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the Gentiles, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 1:12	But you profane it, in that you say, The table of Yehovah is polluted, and its fruit, even its food, is contemptible.
Malachi 1:13	You say also, Behold, what a weariness it is! and you have sniffed at it, says Yehovah of hosts; and you have brought what was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus you bring the offering: should I accept this from your hand? says Yehovah.
Malachi 1:14	But cursed be the deceiver, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, says Yehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.
Malachi 2:1	And now, O you priests, this commandment is for you.
Malachi 2:2	If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says Yehovah of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
Malachi 2:3	Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and you shall be taken away with it.
Malachi 2:4	And you shall know that I have sent this commandment to you, that my covenant may be with Levi, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 2:5	My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might fear; and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name.
Malachi 2:6	The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.
Malachi 2:7	For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 2:8	But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble in the law; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 2:9	Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because you have not kept my ways, but have shown partiality in the law.
Malachi 2:10	Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Malachi 2:11	Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Yehovah which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.
Malachi 2:12	Yehovah will cut off, from the man who does this, him who wakes and him who answers, out of the tents of Jacob, and him who offers an offering to Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 2:13	And this again you do: you cover the altar of Yehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, so that he no longer regards the offering, nor receives it with good will from your hand.
Malachi 2:14	Yet you say, Why? Because Yehovah has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion, and the wife of your covenant.
Malachi 2:15	And did he not make one, although he had the remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Malachi 2:16	For I hate divorce, says Yehovah, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says Yehovah of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.
Malachi 2:17	You have wearied Yehovah with your words. Yet you say, How have we wearied him? In that you say, Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of Yehovah, and he delights in them; or where is the God of justice?
Malachi 3:1	Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 3:2	But who can endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
Malachi 3:3	and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yehovah offerings in righteousness.
Malachi 3:4	Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem shall be pleasing to Yehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years.
Malachi 3:5	And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who turn aside the sojourner from his right, and do not fear me, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 3:6	For I, Yehovah, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
Malachi 3:7	From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says Yehovah of hosts. But you say, How shall we return?
Malachi 3:8	Will a man rob God? yet you rob me. But you say, How have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
Malachi 3:9	You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation.
Malachi 3:10	Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this, says Yehovah of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out for you a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:11	And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; nor shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 3:12	And all nations shall call you happy; for you shall be a delightful land, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 3:13	Your words have been harsh against me, says Yehovah. Yet you say, What have we spoken against you?
Malachi 3:14	You 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 before Yehovah of hosts?
Malachi 3:15	and now we call the proud happy; indeed, those who work wickedness are built up; indeed, they test God, and escape.
Malachi 3:16	Then those who feared Yehovah spoke one with another; and Yehovah listened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for those who feared Yehovah, and who thought upon his name.
Malachi 3:17	And they shall be mine, says Yehovah of hosts, even my own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Malachi 3:18	Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve him.
Malachi 4:1	For, behold, the day is coming, it burns like a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that is coming shall burn them up, says Yehovah of hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi 4:2	But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings; and you shall go out, and leap like calves from the stall.
Malachi 4:3	And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, says Yehovah of hosts.
Malachi 4:4	Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.
Malachi 4:5	Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yehovah comes.
Malachi 4:6	And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.
Matthew 1:1	The book of the generation of Yeshua Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew 1:2	Abraham fathered Isaac; and Isaac fathered Jacob; and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers;
Matthew 1:3	and Judah fathered Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez fathered Hezron; and Hezron fathered Ram;
Matthew 1:4	and Ram fathered Amminadab; and Amminadab fathered Nahshon; and Nahshon fathered Salmon;
Matthew 1:5	and Salmon fathered Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz fathered Obed of Ruth; and Obed fathered Jesse;
Matthew 1:6	and Jesse fathered David the king. And David fathered Solomon of her who had been the wife of Uriah;
Matthew 1:7	and Solomon fathered Rehoboam; and Rehoboam fathered Abijah; and Abijah fathered Asa;
Matthew 1:8	and Asa fathered Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat fathered Joram; and Joram fathered Uzziah;
Matthew 1:9	and Uzziah fathered Jotham; and Jotham fathered Ahaz; and Ahaz fathered Hezekiah;
Matthew 1:10	and Hezekiah fathered Manasseh; and Manasseh fathered Amon; and Amon fathered Josiah;
Matthew 1:11	and Josiah fathered Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon.
Matthew 1:12	And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah fathered Shealtiel; and Shealtiel fathered Zerubbabel;
Matthew 1:13	and Zerubbabel fathered Abiud; and Abiud fathered Eliakim; and Eliakim fathered Azor;
Matthew 1:14	and Azor fathered Sadoc; and Sadoc fathered Achim; and Achim fathered Eliud;
Matthew 1:15	and Eliud fathered Eleazar; and Eleazar fathered Matthan; and Matthan fathered Jacob;
Matthew 1:16	and Jacob fathered Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Yeshua, who is called Messiah.
Matthew 1:17	So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations.
Matthew 1:18	Now the birth of Yeshua Messiah was like this: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:19	And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.
Matthew 1:20	But when he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, you son of David, do not fear to take to you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:21	And she shall bring forth a son; and you shall call his name YESHUA; for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:22	Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Matthew 1:23	Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.
Matthew 1:24	And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took to him his wife;
Matthew 1:25	and did not know her until she had brought forth a son: and he called his name YESHUA.
Matthew 2:1	Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew 2:2	Where is he who has been born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down before him.
Matthew 2:3	And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew 2:4	And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah should be born.
Matthew 2:5	And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written through the prophet,
Matthew 2:6	And you Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are by no means least among the princes of Judah: For out of you shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.
Matthew 2:7	Then Herod secretly called the Wise-men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.
Matthew 2:8	And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and bow down before him.
Matthew 2:9	And they, having heard the king, went their way; and look, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Matthew 2:10	And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Matthew 2:11	And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and bowed before him; and opening their treasures they offered to him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:12	And being warned by God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew 2:13	Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Matthew 2:14	And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;
Matthew 2:15	and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
Matthew 2:16	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the Wise-men, was extremely angry, and sent forth, and killed all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned from the Wise-men.
Matthew 2:17	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Matthew 2:18	A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.
Matthew 2:19	But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,
Matthew 2:20	Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for those who sought the young child’s life are dead.
Matthew 2:21	And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Matthew 2:22	But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judæa in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there; and being warned by God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,
Matthew 2:23	and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene.
Matthew 3:1	And in those days comes John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, saying,
Matthew 3:2	Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 3:3	For this is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of Yehovah, Make his paths straight.
Matthew 3:4	Now John himself had his clothing of camel’s hair, and a leather belt about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Matthew 3:5	Then Jerusalem went out to him, and all Judæa, and all the region round about the Jordan;
Matthew 3:6	and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matthew 3:7	But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 3:8	Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:
Matthew 3:9	and do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Matthew 3:10	And even now the axe lies at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 3:11	I indeed baptize you in water to repentance: but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Matthew 3:12	whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3:13	Then comes Yeshua from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
Matthew 3:14	But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and do you come to me?
Matthew 3:15	But Yeshua answering said to him, Allow it now: for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allows him.
Matthew 3:16	And Yeshua, when he was baptized, went up immediately from the water: and look, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him;
Matthew 3:17	and look, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew 4:1	Then Yeshua was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Matthew 4:2	And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered.
Matthew 4:3	And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
Matthew 4:4	But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:5	Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew 4:6	and says to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and, On their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Matthew 4:7	Yeshua said to him, Again it is written, You shall not make trial of Yehovah your God.
Matthew 4:8	Again, the devil takes him to an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:9	and he said to him, All these things I will give you, if you will fall down and bow before me.
Matthew 4:10	Then says Yeshua to him, Go away, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship Yehovah your God, and him only shall you serve.
Matthew 4:11	Then the devil leaves him; and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Matthew 4:12	Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;
Matthew 4:13	and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
Matthew 4:14	that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Matthew 4:15	The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
Matthew 4:16	The people who sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.
Matthew 4:17	From that time Yeshua began to preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:18	And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers.
Matthew 4:19	And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:20	And they immediately left the nets, and followed him.
Matthew 4:21	And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Matthew 4:22	And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
Matthew 4:23	And Yeshua went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.
Matthew 4:24	And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.
Matthew 4:25	And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and from beyond the Jordan.
Matthew 5:1	And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him:
Matthew 5:2	and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
Matthew 5:3	Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:4	Blessed are those who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:5	Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:6	Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:7	Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:8	Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5:9	Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:10	Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:11	Blessed are you when men reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 5:12	Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:13	You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost its savor, with what shall it be salted? it is from then on good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under foot by men.
Matthew 5:14	You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:15	Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Matthew 5:16	Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:17	Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the prophets: I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:18	For truly I say to you, Until heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass away from the Torah, until all things are accomplished.
Matthew 5:19	Therefore whoever breaks one of these least commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:20	For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:21	You have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be in danger of the judgment:
Matthew 5:22	but I say to you, that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whoever says, You fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.
Matthew 5:23	If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
Matthew 5:24	leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:25	Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
Matthew 5:26	Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out from there, until you have paid the last farthing.
Matthew 5:27	You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery:
Matthew 5:28	but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew 5:29	And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell.
Matthew 5:30	And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and not your whole body go into hell.
Matthew 5:31	It was said also, Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Matthew 5:32	but I say to you, that everyone who puts away his wife, except for the cause of fornication, makes her an adulteress: and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
Matthew 5:33	Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, You shall not forswear yourself, but shall perform to the Lord your oaths:
Matthew 5:34	but I say to you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;
Matthew 5:35	nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Matthew 5:36	Neither shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
Matthew 5:37	But let your speech be, Yes, yes; No, no: and whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Matthew 5:38	You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Matthew 5:39	but I say to you, Do not resist him who is evil: but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:40	And if any man would go to law with you, and take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
Matthew 5:41	And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Matthew 5:42	Give to him who asks you, and from him who would borrow from you do not turn away.
Matthew 5:43	You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy:
Matthew 5:44	but I say to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you;
Matthew 5:45	that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
Matthew 5:46	For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans do the same?
Matthew 5:47	And if you salute your brothers only, what more do you do than others? do not even the Gentiles do the same?
Matthew 5:48	You therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 6:1	Take heed that you do not do your righteousness before men, to be seen by them: else you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 6:2	When therefore you do alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.
Matthew 6:3	But when you do alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand does:
Matthew 6:4	that your alms may be in secret: and your Father who sees in secret shall recompense you.
Matthew 6:5	And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.
Matthew 6:6	But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall recompense you.
Matthew 6:7	And in praying do not use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew 6:8	Therefore do not be like them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.
Matthew 6:9	After this manner therefore pray: Our Father who are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.
Matthew 6:10	Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
Matthew 6:11	Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew 6:12	And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Matthew 6:13	And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Matthew 6:14	For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Matthew 6:15	But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew 6:16	Moreover when you fast, do not be, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to fast. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward.
Matthew 6:17	But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face;
Matthew 6:18	that you may not be seen by men to fast, but by your Father who is in secret: and your Father, who sees in secret, shall recompense you.
Matthew 6:19	Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew 6:20	but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew 6:21	for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22	The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye is single, your whole body shall be full of light.
Matthew 6:23	But if your eye is evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
Matthew 6:24	No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:25	Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing?
Matthew 6:26	Behold the birds of the heaven, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much more value than they?
Matthew 6:27	And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to the measure of his life?
Matthew 6:28	And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they do not toil, neither do they spin:
Matthew 6:29	yet I say to you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:30	But if God does so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Matthew 6:31	Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed?
Matthew 6:32	For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
Matthew 6:33	But seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:34	Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow: for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient to the day is its own evil.
Matthew 7:1	Do not judge, that you may not be judged.
Matthew 7:2	For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you.
Matthew 7:3	And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Matthew 7:4	Or how will you say to your brother, Let me cast the speck out of your eye; and look, the beam is in your own eye?
Matthew 7:5	You hypocrite, first cast the beam out of your own eye; and then you shall see clearly to cast the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:6	Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.
Matthew 7:7	Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:
Matthew 7:8	for everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:9	Or what man is there among you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;
Matthew 7:10	or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?
Matthew 7:11	If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him?
Matthew 7:12	All things therefore whatever you would want men to do to you, even so do also to them: for this is the Torah and the prophets.
Matthew 7:13	Enter in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
Matthew 7:14	For narrow is the gate, and constricted the way, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.
Matthew 7:15	Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
Matthew 7:16	By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:17	Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
Matthew 7:18	A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 7:19	Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew 7:20	Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Matthew 7:21	Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22	Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by your name, and by your name cast out demons, and by your name do many mighty works?
Matthew 7:23	And then I will profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you who work lawlessness.
Matthew 7:24	Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine, and does them, shall be likened to a wise man, who built his house on the rock:
Matthew 7:25	and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall: for it was founded on the rock.
Matthew 7:26	And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not do them, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house on the sand:
Matthew 7:27	and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and struck that house; and it fell: and great was its fall.
Matthew 7:28	And it happened, when Yeshua had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
Matthew 7:29	for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
Matthew 8:1	And when he had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Matthew 8:2	And behold, there came to him a leper and bowed down before him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.
Matthew 8:3	And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be made clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew 8:4	And Yeshua says to him, See that you tell no man; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
Matthew 8:5	And when he had entered into Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
Matthew 8:6	and saying, Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, terribly tormented.
Matthew 8:7	And he says to him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew 8:8	And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
Matthew 8:9	For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
Matthew 8:10	And when Yeshua heard it, he marvelled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Matthew 8:11	And I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:
Matthew 8:12	but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 8:13	And Yeshua said to the centurion, Go your way; as you have believed, so be it done to you. And the servant was healed in that hour.
Matthew 8:14	And when Yeshua had come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
Matthew 8:15	And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered to him.
Matthew 8:16	And when evening had come, they brought to him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick:
Matthew 8:17	that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
Matthew 8:18	Now when Yeshua saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart to the other side.
Matthew 8:19	And there came a scribe, and said to him, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.
Matthew 8:20	And Yeshua says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.
Matthew 8:21	And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
Matthew 8:22	But Yeshua says to him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.
Matthew 8:23	And when he had entered into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Matthew 8:24	And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
Matthew 8:25	And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish.
Matthew 8:26	And he says to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Matthew 8:27	And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
Matthew 8:28	And when he had come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man could pass by that way.
Matthew 8:29	And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? have you come here to torment us before the time?
Matthew 8:30	Now there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding.
Matthew 8:31	And the demons begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine.
Matthew 8:32	And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Matthew 8:33	And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what had happened to those who were possessed with demons.
Matthew 8:34	And behold, all the city came out to meet Yeshua: and when they saw him, they begged him that he would depart from their borders.
Matthew 9:1	And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Matthew 9:2	And behold, they brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed: and Yeshua seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven.
Matthew 9:3	And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
Matthew 9:4	And Yeshua knowing their thoughts said, Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Matthew 9:5	For which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Matthew 9:6	But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he says to the paralytic), Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
Matthew 9:7	And he arose, and departed to his house.
Matthew 9:8	But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Matthew 9:9	And as Yeshua passed by from there, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he says to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Matthew 9:10	And it happened, as he sat at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Yeshua and his disciples.
Matthew 9:11	And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Teacher eat with the publicans and sinners?
Matthew 9:12	But when he heard it, he said, Those who are whole have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Matthew 9:13	But go and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
Matthew 9:14	Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?
Matthew 9:15	And Yeshua said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Matthew 9:16	And no man puts a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment; for that which should fill it up takes from the garment, and a worse rent is made.
Matthew 9:17	Neither do men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.
Matthew 9:18	While he spoke these things to them, behold, there came a ruler, and bowed down before him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay your hand on her, and she shall live.
Matthew 9:19	And Yeshua arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
Matthew 9:20	And behold, a woman, who had a discharge of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:
Matthew 9:21	for she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be made whole.
Matthew 9:22	But Yeshua turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Matthew 9:23	And when Yeshua came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,
Matthew 9:24	he said, Give place: for the girl is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed him to scorn.
Matthew 9:25	But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the girl arose.
Matthew 9:26	And the fame of this went forth into all that land.
Matthew 9:27	And as Yeshua passed by from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, you son of David.
Matthew 9:28	And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Yeshua says to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
Matthew 9:29	Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done to you.
Matthew 9:30	And their eyes were opened. And Yeshua strictly charged them, saying, See that no man knows it.
Matthew 9:31	But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Matthew 9:32	And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a mute man possessed with a demon.
Matthew 9:33	And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Matthew 9:34	But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the demons he casts out demons.
Matthew 9:35	And Yeshua went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
Matthew 9:36	But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.
Matthew 9:37	Then he says to his disciples, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Matthew 9:38	Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest.
Matthew 10:1	And he called to him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
Matthew 10:2	Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Matthew 10:3	Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus;
Matthew 10:4	Simon the Cananæan, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Matthew 10:5	These twelve Yeshua sent forth, and charged them, saying, Do not go into any way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans:
Matthew 10:6	but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 10:7	And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 10:8	Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely you received, freely give.
Matthew 10:9	Get no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
Matthew 10:10	no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
Matthew 10:11	And into whatever city or village you shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide until you go forth.
Matthew 10:12	And as you enter into the house, salute it.
Matthew 10:13	And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew 10:14	And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew 10:15	Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew 10:16	Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:17	But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;
Matthew 10:18	and indeed before governors and kings you shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
Matthew 10:19	But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what you shall speak.
Matthew 10:20	For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Matthew 10:21	And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Matthew 10:22	And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:23	But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for truly I say to you, You shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of man has come.
Matthew 10:24	A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
Matthew 10:25	It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household!
Matthew 10:26	Therefore do not fear them: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hidden, that shall not be known.
Matthew 10:27	What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Matthew 10:28	And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:29	Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:
Matthew 10:30	but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:31	Therefore do not fear: you are of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:32	Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:33	But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10:34	Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth: I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35	For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:
Matthew 10:36	and a man’s foes shall be those of his own household.
Matthew 10:37	He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:38	And he who does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:39	He who finds his life shall lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 10:40	He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
Matthew 10:41	He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
Matthew 10:42	And whoever gives to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he shall by no means lose his reward.
Matthew 11:1	And it happened when Yeshua had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Matthew 11:2	Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Messiah, he sent by his disciples
Matthew 11:3	and said to him, Are you he who comes, or do we look for another?
Matthew 11:4	And Yeshua answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Matthew 11:5	the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.
Matthew 11:6	And blessed is he, whoever finds no occasion of stumbling in me.
Matthew 11:7	And as these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
Matthew 11:8	But what did you go out to see? a man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Matthew 11:9	But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:10	This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way before you.
Matthew 11:11	Truly I say to you, Among those who are born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 11:12	And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and men of violence take it by force.
Matthew 11:13	For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until John.
Matthew 11:14	And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Matthew 11:15	He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:16	But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their fellows
Matthew 11:17	and say, We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.
Matthew 11:18	For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Matthew 11:19	The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works.
Matthew 11:20	Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his mighty works were done, because they did not repent.
Matthew 11:21	Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Matthew 11:22	But I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
Matthew 11:23	And you, Capernaum, shall you be exalted to heaven? you shall go down to Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew 11:24	But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
Matthew 11:25	At that season Yeshua answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to babes:
Matthew 11:26	yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Matthew 11:27	All things have been delivered to me by my Father: and no one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does any know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal him.
Matthew 11:28	Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29	Take my yoke on you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Matthew 11:30	For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 12:1	At that season Yeshua went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat.
Matthew 12:2	But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, Behold, your disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath.
Matthew 12:3	But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;
Matthew 12:4	how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
Matthew 12:5	Or have you not read in the Torah, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
Matthew 12:6	But I say to you, that one greater than the temple is here.
Matthew 12:7	But if you had known what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.
Matthew 12:8	For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
Matthew 12:9	And he departed from there, and went into their synagogue:
Matthew 12:10	and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
Matthew 12:11	And he said to them, What man shall there be among you, who has one sheep, and if this falls into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Matthew 12:12	How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
Matthew 12:13	Then he says to the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.
Matthew 12:14	But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Matthew 12:15	And Yeshua perceiving it withdrew from there: and many followed him; and he healed them all,
Matthew 12:16	and charged them that they should not make him known:
Matthew 12:17	that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Matthew 12:18	Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.
Matthew 12:19	He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
Matthew 12:20	A bruised reed he shall not break, And smoking flax he shall not quench, Until he sends forth judgment to victory.
Matthew 12:21	And in his name the Gentiles shall hope.
Matthew 12:22	Then one possessed with a demon, blind and mute, was brought to him: and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.
Matthew 12:23	And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?
Matthew 12:24	But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons.
Matthew 12:25	And knowing their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 12:26	and if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27	And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matthew 12:28	But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Matthew 12:29	Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Matthew 12:30	He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Matthew 12:31	Therefore I say to you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:32	And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.
Matthew 12:33	Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
Matthew 12:34	You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 12:35	The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things.
Matthew 12:36	And I say to you, that for every idle word that men speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.
Matthew 12:37	For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.
Matthew 12:38	Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.
Matthew 12:39	But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:
Matthew 12:40	for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:41	The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Matthew 12:42	The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:43	But the unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it.
Matthew 12:44	Then he says, I will return into my house from which I came out; and when he has come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
Matthew 12:45	Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this evil generation.
Matthew 12:46	While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, seeking to speak to him.
Matthew 12:47	And one said to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand outside, seeking to speak to you.
Matthew 12:48	But he answered and said to him who told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brothers?
Matthew 12:49	And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Matthew 12:50	For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew 13:1	On that day Yeshua went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
Matthew 13:2	And there were gathered to him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
Matthew 13:3	And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
Matthew 13:4	and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them:
Matthew 13:5	and others fell on the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Matthew 13:6	and when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew 13:7	And others fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:
Matthew 13:8	and others fell on the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Matthew 13:9	He who has ears, let him hear.
Matthew 13:10	And the disciples came, and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?
Matthew 13:11	And he answered and said to them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Matthew 13:12	For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whoever does not have, from him shall be taken away even that which he has.
Matthew 13:13	Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, neither do they understand.
Matthew 13:14	And to them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing you shall hear, and shall by no means understand; And seeing you shall see, and shall by no means perceive:
Matthew 13:15	For this people’s heart has grown dull, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
Matthew 13:16	But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew 13:17	For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
Matthew 13:18	Hear then the parable of the sower.
Matthew 13:19	When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown by the wayside.
Matthew 13:20	And he who was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
Matthew 13:21	yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while; and when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
Matthew 13:22	And he who was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Matthew 13:23	And he who was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it; who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Matthew 13:24	Another parable he set before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew 13:25	but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
Matthew 13:26	But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares also appeared.
Matthew 13:27	And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? from where then does it have tares?
Matthew 13:28	And he said to them, An enemy has done this. And the servants say to him, Do you want us then to go and gather them up?
Matthew 13:29	But he says, No; lest while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:31	Another parable he set before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Matthew 13:32	which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in its branches.
Matthew 13:33	Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.
Matthew 13:34	All these things Yeshua spoke in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spoke nothing to them:
Matthew 13:35	that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 13:36	Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matthew 13:37	And he answered and said, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew 13:38	and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
Matthew 13:39	and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.
Matthew 13:40	As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.
Matthew 13:41	The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do lawlessness,
Matthew 13:42	and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:43	Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Matthew 13:44	The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
Matthew 13:45	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
Matthew 13:46	and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:47	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Matthew 13:48	which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
Matthew 13:49	So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,
Matthew 13:50	and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13:51	Have you understood all these things? They say to him, Yes.
Matthew 13:52	And he said to them, Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Matthew 13:53	And it happened, when Yeshua had finished these parables, he departed from there.
Matthew 13:54	And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, From where does this man have this wisdom, and these mighty works?
Matthew 13:55	Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Matthew 13:56	And his sisters, are they not all with us? From where then does this man have all these things?
Matthew 13:57	And they were offended in him. But Yeshua said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.
Matthew 13:58	And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 14:1	At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Yeshua,
Matthew 14:2	and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and therefore these powers work in him.
Matthew 14:3	For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.
Matthew 14:4	For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.
Matthew 14:5	And when he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6	But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
Matthew 14:7	Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
Matthew 14:8	And she, being put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
Matthew 14:9	And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at table with him, he commanded it to be given;
Matthew 14:10	and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Matthew 14:11	And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the girl: and she brought it to her mother.
Matthew 14:12	And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Yeshua.
Matthew 14:13	Now when Yeshua heard it, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
Matthew 14:14	And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
Matthew 14:15	And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
Matthew 14:16	But Yeshua said to them, They have no need to go away; you give them something to eat.
Matthew 14:17	And they say to him, We have here only five loaves, and two fish.
Matthew 14:18	And he said, Bring them here to me.
Matthew 14:19	And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
Matthew 14:20	And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
Matthew 14:21	And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 14:22	And immediately he made the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, until he should send the multitudes away.
Matthew 14:23	And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when evening had come, he was there alone.
Matthew 14:24	But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.
Matthew 14:25	And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
Matthew 14:26	And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear.
Matthew 14:27	But immediately Yeshua spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; do not be afraid.
Matthew 14:28	And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.
Matthew 14:29	And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Yeshua.
Matthew 14:30	But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
Matthew 14:31	And immediately Yeshua stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and says to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
Matthew 14:32	And when they had gone up into the boat, the wind ceased.
Matthew 14:33	And those who were in the boat bowed down before him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God.
Matthew 14:34	And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, to Gennesaret.
Matthew 14:35	And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought to him all who were sick;
Matthew 14:36	and they begged him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole.
Matthew 15:1	Then there come to Yeshua from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,
Matthew 15:2	Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:3	And he answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?
Matthew 15:4	For God said, Honor your father and your mother: and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die the death.
Matthew 15:5	But you say, Whoever says to his father or his mother, That with which you might have been profited by me is given to God;
Matthew 15:6	he shall not honor his father. And you have made void the word of God because of your tradition.
Matthew 15:7	You hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
Matthew 15:8	This people honors me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
Matthew 15:9	But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
Matthew 15:10	And he called to him the multitude, and said to them, Hear, and understand:
Matthew 15:11	Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man; but that which proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.
Matthew 15:12	Then the disciples came, and said to him, Do you know that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?
Matthew 15:13	But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant, shall be rooted up.
Matthew 15:14	Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit.
Matthew 15:15	And Peter answered and said to him, Declare to us the parable.
Matthew 15:16	And he said, Are you also even yet without understanding?
Matthew 15:17	Do you not perceive, that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the latrine?
Matthew 15:18	But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man.
Matthew 15:19	For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:
Matthew 15:20	these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.
Matthew 15:21	And Yeshua went out from there, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15:22	And behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, you son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.
Matthew 15:23	But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us.
Matthew 15:24	But he answered and said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 15:25	But she came and bowed down before him, saying, Lord, help me.
Matthew 15:26	And he answered and said, It is not right to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
Matthew 15:27	But she said, Yes, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
Matthew 15:28	Then Yeshua answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let it be done to you even as you will. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Matthew 15:29	And Yeshua departed from there, and came near to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there.
Matthew 15:30	And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them:
Matthew 15:31	so that the multitude wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:32	And Yeshua called to him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest they faint on the way.
Matthew 15:33	And the disciples say to him, Where would we get so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?
Matthew 15:34	And Yeshua said to them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven, and a few small fish.
Matthew 15:35	And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
Matthew 15:36	and he took the seven loaves and the fish; and he gave thanks and broke, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
Matthew 15:37	And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
Matthew 15:38	And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 15:39	And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan.
Matthew 16:1	And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
Matthew 16:2	But he answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red.
Matthew 16:3	And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the heaven is red and threatening. You know how to discern the face of the heaven; but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
Matthew 16:4	An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
Matthew 16:5	And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread.
Matthew 16:6	And Yeshua said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:7	And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread.
Matthew 16:8	And Yeshua perceiving it said, O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves, because you have no bread?
Matthew 16:9	Do you not yet perceive, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Matthew 16:10	Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Matthew 16:11	How is it that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:12	Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:13	Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
Matthew 16:14	And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Matthew 16:15	He says to them, But who do you say that I am?
Matthew 16:16	And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:17	And Yeshua answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 16:18	And I also say to you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19	I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:20	Then he charged the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Messiah.
Matthew 16:21	From that time Yeshua began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
Matthew 16:22	And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Far be it from you, Lord: this shall never be to you.
Matthew 16:23	But he turned, and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan: you are a stumbling-block to me: for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.
Matthew 16:24	Then Yeshua said to his disciples, If any man wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:25	For whoever wants to save his life shall lose it: and whoever loses his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:26	For what shall a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
Matthew 16:27	For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall render to every man according to his deeds.
Matthew 16:28	Truly I say to you, There are some of those who stand here, who shall by no means taste death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Matthew 17:1	And after six days Yeshua takes with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart:
Matthew 17:2	and he was transfigured before them; and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as the light.
Matthew 17:3	And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
Matthew 17:4	And Peter answered, and said to Yeshua, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, I will make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Matthew 17:5	While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; listen to him.
Matthew 17:6	And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were greatly afraid.
Matthew 17:7	And Yeshua came and touched them and said, Arise, and do not be afraid.
Matthew 17:8	And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Yeshua only.
Matthew 17:9	And as they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man has risen from the dead.
Matthew 17:10	And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
Matthew 17:11	And he answered and said, Elijah indeed comes, and shall restore all things:
Matthew 17:12	but I say to you, that Elijah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they wanted. Even so the Son of man shall also suffer at their hands.
Matthew 17:13	Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:14	And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying,
Matthew 17:15	Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
Matthew 17:16	And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him.
Matthew 17:17	And Yeshua answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him here to me.
Matthew 17:18	And Yeshua rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.
Matthew 17:19	Then the disciples came to Yeshua apart, and said, Why could we not cast it out?
Matthew 17:20	And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here to there; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
Matthew 17:21	
Matthew 17:22	And while they stayed in Galilee, Yeshua said to them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;
Matthew 17:23	and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceedingly sorry.
Matthew 17:24	And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Does not your teacher pay the half-shekel?
Matthew 17:25	He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Yeshua spoke first to him, saying, What do you think, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?
Matthew 17:26	And when he said, From strangers, Yeshua said to him, Therefore the sons are free.
Matthew 17:27	But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up; and when you have opened his mouth, you shall find a shekel: take that, and give to them for me and you.
Matthew 18:1	In that hour the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Matthew 18:2	And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,
Matthew 18:3	and said, Truly I say to you, Unless you turn, and become as little children, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:4	Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:5	And whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me:
Matthew 18:6	but whoever causes one of these little ones believing in me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:7	Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it is necessary that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion comes!
Matthew 18:8	And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you: it is good for you to enter into life maimed or lame, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
Matthew 18:9	And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is good for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire.
Matthew 18:10	See that you do not despise one of these little ones: for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 18:11	
Matthew 18:12	What do you think? if any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and go to the mountains, and seek that which goes astray?
Matthew 18:13	And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray.
Matthew 18:14	Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18:15	And if your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone: if he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
Matthew 18:16	But if he does not listen to you, take with you one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established.
Matthew 18:17	And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly: and if he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as the Gentile and the publican.
Matthew 18:18	Truly I say to you, Whatever things you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever things you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:19	Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 18:20	For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:21	Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
Matthew 18:22	Yeshua says to him, I do not say to you, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
Matthew 18:23	Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king, who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Matthew 18:24	And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him, who owed him ten thousand talents.
Matthew 18:25	But since he did not have the means to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Matthew 18:26	The servant therefore fell down and bowed before him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.
Matthew 18:27	And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
Matthew 18:28	But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold of him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay what you owe.
Matthew 18:29	So his fellow-servant fell down and begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay you.
Matthew 18:30	And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay that which was due.
Matthew 18:31	So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told their lord all that was done.
Matthew 18:32	Then his lord called him to him, and says to him, You wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me:
Matthew 18:33	should you not also have had mercy on your fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on you?
Matthew 18:34	And his lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due.
Matthew 18:35	So also my heavenly Father shall do to you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.
Matthew 19:1	And it happened when Yeshua had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judæa beyond the Jordan;
Matthew 19:2	and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Matthew 19:3	And there came to him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Matthew 19:4	And he answered and said, Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Matthew 19:5	and said, For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall hold fast to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?
Matthew 19:6	So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
Matthew 19:7	They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?
Matthew 19:8	He says to them, Moses for your hardness of heart allowed you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it has not been so.
Matthew 19:9	And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery: and he who marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
Matthew 19:10	The disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.
Matthew 19:11	But he said to them, Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.
Matthew 19:12	For there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew 19:13	Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Matthew 19:14	But Yeshua said, Allow the little children, and do not forbid them, to come to me: for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:15	And he laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
Matthew 19:16	And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Matthew 19:17	And he said to him, Why do you ask me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew 19:18	He says to him, Which? And Yeshua said, You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
Matthew 19:19	Honor your father and your mother; and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 19:20	The young man says to him, All these things I have observed: what do I still lack?
Matthew 19:21	Yeshua said to him, If you want to be perfect, go, sell that which you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Matthew 19:22	But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one who had great possessions.
Matthew 19:23	And Yeshua said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:24	And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:25	And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?
Matthew 19:26	And Yeshua looking at them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 19:27	Then Peter answered and said to him, Look, we have left all, and followed you; what then shall we have?
Matthew 19:28	And Yeshua said to them, Truly I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19:29	And everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.
Matthew 19:30	But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.
Matthew 20:1	For the kingdom of heaven is like a man who was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:2	And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:3	And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;
Matthew 20:4	and to them he said, You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Matthew 20:5	Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matthew 20:6	And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he says to them, Why do you stand here all the day idle?
Matthew 20:7	They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, You also go into the vineyard.
Matthew 20:8	And when evening had come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.
Matthew 20:9	And when those who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each received a shilling.
Matthew 20:10	And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a shilling.
Matthew 20:11	And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
Matthew 20:12	saying, These last have spent only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
Matthew 20:13	But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not agree with me for a shilling?
Matthew 20:14	Take up that which is yours, and go your way; it is my will to give to this last, even as to you.
Matthew 20:15	Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with my own? or is your eye evil, because I am good?
Matthew 20:16	So the last shall be first, and the first last.
Matthew 20:17	And as Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said to them,
Matthew 20:18	Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
Matthew 20:19	and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
Matthew 20:20	Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, bowing down before him, and asking a certain thing of him.
Matthew 20:21	And he said to her, What do you want? She says to him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your kingdom.
Matthew 20:22	But Yeshua answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say to him, We are able.
Matthew 20:23	He says to them, My cup indeed you shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it is for them for whom it has been prepared by my Father.
Matthew 20:24	And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brothers.
Matthew 20:25	But Yeshua called them to him, and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Matthew 20:26	Not so shall it be among you: but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your minister;
Matthew 20:27	and whoever wants to be first among you shall be your servant:
Matthew 20:28	even as the Son of man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:29	And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Matthew 20:30	And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Yeshua was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David.
Matthew 20:31	And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, you son of David.
Matthew 20:32	And Yeshua stood still, and called them, and said, What do you want me to do for you?
Matthew 20:33	They say to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Matthew 20:34	And Yeshua, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately they received their sight, and followed him.
Matthew 21:1	And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two disciples,
Matthew 21:2	saying to them, Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.
Matthew 21:3	And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will send them.
Matthew 21:4	Now this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Matthew 21:5	Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, Meek, and riding on a donkey, And on a colt the foal of a donkey.
Matthew 21:6	And the disciples went, and did even as Yeshua directed them,
Matthew 21:7	and brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat on them.
Matthew 21:8	And most of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
Matthew 21:9	And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yehovah; Hosanna in the highest.
Matthew 21:10	And when he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
Matthew 21:11	And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Yeshua, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Matthew 21:12	And Yeshua entered into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
Matthew 21:13	and he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but you make it a den of robbers.
Matthew 21:14	And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Matthew 21:15	But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,
Matthew 21:16	and said to him, Do you hear what these are saying? And Yeshua says to them, Yes: did you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?
Matthew 21:17	And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
Matthew 21:18	Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
Matthew 21:19	And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only; and he says to it, Let there be no fruit from you from now on forever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.
Matthew 21:20	And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
Matthew 21:21	And Yeshua answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.
Matthew 21:22	And all things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Matthew 21:23	And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?
Matthew 21:24	And Yeshua answered and said to them, I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:25	The baptism of John, from where was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?
Matthew 21:26	But if we say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.
Matthew 21:27	And they answered Yeshua, and said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:28	But what do you think? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.
Matthew 21:29	And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.
Matthew 21:30	And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and did not go.
Matthew 21:31	Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Yeshua says to them, Truly I say to you, that the publicans and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.
Matthew 21:32	For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the publicans and the prostitutes believed him: and you, when you saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that you might believe him.
Matthew 21:33	Hear another parable: There was a man who was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to vinedressers, and went into another country.
Matthew 21:34	And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the vinedressers, to receive his fruits.
Matthew 21:35	And the vinedressers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew 21:36	Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them in like manner.
Matthew 21:37	But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
Matthew 21:38	But the vinedressers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
Matthew 21:39	And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Matthew 21:40	When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vinedressers?
Matthew 21:41	They say to him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease the vineyard to other vinedressers, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Matthew 21:42	Yeshua says to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from Yehovah, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
Matthew 21:43	Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth its fruits.
Matthew 21:44	And he who falls on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him as dust.
Matthew 21:45	And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
Matthew 21:46	And when they sought to lay hold of him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
Matthew 22:1	And Yeshua answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
Matthew 22:2	The kingdom of heaven is likened to a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
Matthew 22:3	and sent forth his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast: and they would not come.
Matthew 22:4	Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.
Matthew 22:5	But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
Matthew 22:6	and the rest laid hold of his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
Matthew 22:7	But the king was angry; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Matthew 22:8	Then he says to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9	Therefore go to the partings of the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the marriage feast.
Matthew 22:10	And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests.
Matthew 22:11	But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on a wedding-garment:
Matthew 22:12	and he says to him, Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13	Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 22:14	For many are called, but few chosen.
Matthew 22:15	Then the Pharisees went, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk.
Matthew 22:16	And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and do not care for anyone: for you do not regard the person of men.
Matthew 22:17	Tell us therefore, What do you think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
Matthew 22:18	But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, Why do you make trial of me, you hypocrites?
Matthew 22:19	Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denarius.
Matthew 22:20	And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription?
Matthew 22:21	They say to him, Cæsar’s. Then he says to them, Render therefore to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.
Matthew 22:22	And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away.
Matthew 22:23	On that day there came to him Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,
Matthew 22:24	saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Matthew 22:25	Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife to his brother;
Matthew 22:26	in like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Matthew 22:27	And after them all, the woman died.
Matthew 22:28	In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Matthew 22:29	But Yeshua answered and said to them, You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:30	For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:31	But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32	I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Matthew 22:33	And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Matthew 22:34	But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together.
Matthew 22:35	And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him:
Matthew 22:36	Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Torah?
Matthew 22:37	And he said to him, You shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:38	This is the great and first commandment.
Matthew 22:39	And a second like it is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:40	On these two commandments the whole Torah hangs, and the prophets.
Matthew 22:41	Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
Matthew 22:42	saying, What do you think of the Messiah? whose son is he? They say to him, The son of David.
Matthew 22:43	He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:44	Yehovah said to my lord, Sit on my right hand, Until I put your enemies underneath your feet?
Matthew 22:45	If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?
Matthew 22:46	And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any man dare from that day on to ask him any more questions.
Matthew 23:1	Then Yeshua spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
Matthew 23:2	saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:
Matthew 23:3	all things therefore whatever they tell you, these do and observe: but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not.
Matthew 23:4	Indeed, they bind heavy burdens and hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
Matthew 23:5	But all their works they do to be seen by men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Matthew 23:6	and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Matthew 23:7	and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
Matthew 23:8	But do not be called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
Matthew 23:9	And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven.
Matthew 23:10	Neither be called masters: for one is your master, even the Messiah.
Matthew 23:11	But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Matthew 23:12	And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
Matthew 23:13	But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
Matthew 23:14	
Matthew 23:15	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you travel over sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he has become so, you make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 23:16	Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
Matthew 23:17	You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that has sanctified the gold?
Matthew 23:18	And, Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is a debtor.
Matthew 23:19	You blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
Matthew 23:20	Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things on it.
Matthew 23:21	And he who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
Matthew 23:22	And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
Matthew 23:23	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Torah, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these you ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
Matthew 23:24	You blind guides, who strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!
Matthew 23:25	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:26	You blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
Matthew 23:27	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Matthew 23:28	Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Matthew 23:29	Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,
Matthew 23:30	and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Matthew 23:31	Therefore you witness to yourselves, that you are sons of those who killed the prophets.
Matthew 23:32	Fill up then the measure of your fathers.
Matthew 23:33	You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how shall you escape the judgment of hell?
Matthew 23:34	Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them you shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
Matthew 23:35	that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
Matthew 23:36	Truly I say to you, All these things shall come on this generation.
Matthew 23:37	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!
Matthew 23:38	Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
Matthew 23:39	For I say to you, You shall not see me from now on, until you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yehovah.
Matthew 24:1	And Yeshua went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
Matthew 24:2	But he answered and said to them, Do you not see all these things? truly I say to you, There shall not be left here one stone on another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matthew 24:3	And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the world?
Matthew 24:4	And Yeshua answered and said to them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
Matthew 24:5	For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall lead many astray.
Matthew 24:6	And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled: for these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:7	For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Matthew 24:8	But all these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:9	Then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated by all the nations for my name’s sake.
Matthew 24:10	And then many shall stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
Matthew 24:11	And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.
Matthew 24:12	And because lawlessness shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall grow cold.
Matthew 24:13	But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 24:14	And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations; and then the end shall come.
Matthew 24:15	When therefore you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him who reads understand),
Matthew 24:16	then let those who are in Judæa flee to the mountains:
Matthew 24:17	let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house:
Matthew 24:18	and let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
Matthew 24:19	But woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing in those days!
Matthew 24:20	And pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on a sabbath:
Matthew 24:21	for then there shall be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:22	And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Matthew 24:23	Then if any man says to you, Look, here is the Messiah, or, Here; do not believe it.
Matthew 24:24	For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
Matthew 24:25	Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Matthew 24:26	If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; do not go out: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; do not believe it.
Matthew 24:27	For as the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
Matthew 24:28	Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.
Matthew 24:29	But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Matthew 24:30	and then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven: and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:31	And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew 24:32	Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
Matthew 24:33	even so you also, when you see all these things, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:34	Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
Matthew 24:35	Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:36	But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
Matthew 24:37	And as were the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38	For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39	and they did not know until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:40	Then two men shall be in the field; one is taken, and one is left:
Matthew 24:41	two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.
Matthew 24:42	Watch therefore: for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.
Matthew 24:43	But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken through.
Matthew 24:44	Therefore you also be ready; for in an hour that you do not think the Son of man comes.
Matthew 24:45	Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?
Matthew 24:46	Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
Matthew 24:47	Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Matthew 24:48	But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord delays;
Matthew 24:49	and begins to beat his fellow-servants, and eats and drinks with the drunken;
Matthew 24:50	the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour when he does not know,
Matthew 24:51	and shall cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:1	Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25:2	And five of them were foolish, and five were wise.
Matthew 25:3	For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:
Matthew 25:4	but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:5	Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25:6	But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.
Matthew 25:7	Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:8	And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out.
Matthew 25:9	But the wise answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and you: go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matthew 25:10	And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:11	Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25:12	But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
Matthew 25:13	Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
Matthew 25:14	For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered to them his goods.
Matthew 25:15	And to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.
Matthew 25:16	Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made five more talents.
Matthew 25:17	In like manner he also who received the two gained two more.
Matthew 25:18	But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
Matthew 25:19	Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and settles accounts with them.
Matthew 25:20	And he who received the five talents came and brought five more talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me five talents: look, I have gained five more talents.
Matthew 25:21	His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25:22	And he also who received the two talents came and said, Lord, you delivered to me two talents: look, I have gained two more talents.
Matthew 25:23	His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things; enter into the joy of your lord.
Matthew 25:24	And he also who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter;
Matthew 25:25	and I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth: look, you have your own.
Matthew 25:26	But his lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter;
Matthew 25:27	you ought therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.
Matthew 25:28	Therefore take the talent away from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.
Matthew 25:29	For to everyone who has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away.
Matthew 25:30	And cast out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25:31	But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he shall sit on the throne of his glory:
Matthew 25:32	and all the nations shall be gathered before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
Matthew 25:33	and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:34	Then the King shall say to those on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:35	for I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in;
Matthew 25:36	naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.
Matthew 25:37	Then the righteous shall answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you? or thirsty, and give you drink?
Matthew 25:38	And when did we see you a stranger, and take you in? or naked, and clothe you?
Matthew 25:39	And when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?
Matthew 25:40	And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of these my brothers, even these least, you did it to me.
Matthew 25:41	Then he shall also say to those on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:42	for I was hungry, and you did not give me anything to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;
Matthew 25:43	I was a stranger, and you did not take me in; naked, and you did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me.
Matthew 25:44	Then they also shall answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and not minister to you?
Matthew 25:45	Then he shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of these least, you did not do it to me.
Matthew 25:46	And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
Matthew 26:1	And it happened, when Yeshua had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
Matthew 26:2	You know that after two days the passover comes, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.
Matthew 26:3	Then the chief priests, and the elders of the people, were gathered together to the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;
Matthew 26:4	and they took counsel together that they might take Yeshua by deceit, and kill him.
Matthew 26:5	But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people.
Matthew 26:6	Now when Yeshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Matthew 26:7	there came to him a woman having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table.
Matthew 26:8	But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Matthew 26:9	For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
Matthew 26:10	But Yeshua perceiving it said to them, Why do you trouble the woman? for she has done a good work for me.
Matthew 26:11	For you have the poor always with you; but you do not always have me.
Matthew 26:12	For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
Matthew 26:13	Truly I say to you, Wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Matthew 26:14	Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests,
Matthew 26:15	and said, What are you willing to give me, and I will deliver him to you? And they weighed out to him thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew 26:16	And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him to them.
Matthew 26:17	Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Yeshua, saying, Where do you want us to make ready for you to eat the passover?
Matthew 26:18	And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at your house with my disciples.
Matthew 26:19	And the disciples did as Yeshua directed them; and they made ready the passover.
Matthew 26:20	Now when evening had come, he was sitting at table with the twelve disciples;
Matthew 26:21	and as they were eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
Matthew 26:22	And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began to say to him each one, Is it I, Lord?
Matthew 26:23	And he answered and said, He who dipped his hand with me in the dish shall betray me.
Matthew 26:24	The Son of man goes, even as it is written of him: but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! it would have been good for that man if he had not been born.
Matthew 26:25	And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He says to him, You have said.
Matthew 26:26	And as they were eating, Yeshua took bread, and blessed, and broke it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Matthew 26:27	And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you;
Matthew 26:28	for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 26:29	But I say to you, I shall not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
Matthew 26:30	And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Matthew 26:31	Then Yeshua says to them, You shall all be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Matthew 26:32	But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
Matthew 26:33	But Peter answered and said to him, If all are offended in you, I will never be offended.
Matthew 26:34	Yeshua said to him, Truly I say to you, that this night, before the rooster crows, you shall deny me three times.
Matthew 26:35	Peter says to him, Even if I must die with you, yet I will not deny you. Likewise all the disciples also said.
Matthew 26:36	Then Yeshua comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Sit here, while I go over there and pray.
Matthew 26:37	And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and greatly troubled.
Matthew 26:38	Then he says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death: remain here, and watch with me.
Matthew 26:39	And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.
Matthew 26:40	And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?
Matthew 26:41	Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:42	Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, unless I drink it, your will be done.
Matthew 26:43	And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Matthew 26:44	And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.
Matthew 26:45	Then he comes to the disciples, and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matthew 26:46	Arise, let us be going: behold, he who betrays me is at hand.
Matthew 26:47	And while he was still speaking, look, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matthew 26:48	Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I kiss, that is he: take him.
Matthew 26:49	And immediately he came to Yeshua, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.
Matthew 26:50	And Yeshua said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua, and took him.
Matthew 26:51	And behold, one of those who were with Yeshua stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
Matthew 26:52	Then Yeshua says to him, Put your sword back into its place: for all those who take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 26:53	Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54	How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Matthew 26:55	In that hour Yeshua said to the multitudes, Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me.
Matthew 26:56	But all this has happened, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
Matthew 26:57	And those who had taken Yeshua led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
Matthew 26:58	But Peter followed him at a distance, to the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.
Matthew 26:59	Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Yeshua, that they might put him to death;
Matthew 26:60	and they did not find it, though many false witnesses came. But afterward two came,
Matthew 26:61	and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Matthew 26:62	And the high priest stood up, and said to him, Do you answer nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
Matthew 26:63	But Yeshua held his peace. And the high priest said to him, I adjure you by the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God.
Matthew 26:64	Yeshua says to him, You have said: nevertheless I say to you, From now on you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 26:65	Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, He has spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard the blasphemy:
Matthew 26:66	what do you think? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.
Matthew 26:67	Then they spat in his face and beat him: and some struck him with the palms of their hands,
Matthew 26:68	saying, Prophesy to us, you Messiah: who is he who struck you?
Matthew 26:69	Now Peter was sitting outside in the court: and a servant girl came to him, saying, You also were with Yeshua the Galilæan.
Matthew 26:70	But he denied before them all, saying, I do not know what you are saying.
Matthew 26:71	And when he had gone out into the porch, another servant girl saw him, and says to those who were there, This man also was with Yeshua of Nazareth.
Matthew 26:72	And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Matthew 26:73	And after a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth you also are one of them; for your speech makes you known.
Matthew 26:74	Then he began to curse and to swear, I do not know the man. And immediately the rooster crowed.
Matthew 26:75	And Peter remembered the word which Yeshua had said, Before the rooster crows, you shall deny me three times. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Matthew 27:1	Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death:
Matthew 27:2	and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
Matthew 27:3	Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew 27:4	saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see to it yourselves.
Matthew 27:5	And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
Matthew 27:6	And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.
Matthew 27:7	And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Matthew 27:8	Therefore that field was called, The field of blood, to this day.
Matthew 27:9	Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom some of the children of Israel priced;
Matthew 27:10	and they gave them for the potter’s field, as Yehovah directed me.
Matthew 27:11	Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And Yeshua said to him, You say.
Matthew 27:12	And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Matthew 27:13	Then Pilate says to him, Do you not hear how many things they witness against you?
Matthew 27:14	And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: so that the governor marveled greatly.
Matthew 27:15	Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they wanted.
Matthew 27:16	And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Matthew 27:17	When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua who is called Messiah?
Matthew 27:18	For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up.
Matthew 27:19	And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Matthew 27:20	Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Yeshua.
Matthew 27:21	But the governor answered and said to them, Which of the two do you want me to release to you? And they said, Barabbas.
Matthew 27:22	Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Yeshua who is called Messiah? They all say, Let him be crucified.
Matthew 27:23	And he said, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.
Matthew 27:24	So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see to it yourselves.
Matthew 27:25	And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Matthew 27:26	Then he released Barabbas to them; but Yeshua he scourged and delivered to be crucified.
Matthew 27:27	Then the soldiers of the governor took Yeshua into the Prætorium, and gathered to him the whole cohort.
Matthew 27:28	And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Matthew 27:29	And they twisted a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Matthew 27:30	And they spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
Matthew 27:31	And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.
Matthew 27:32	And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
Matthew 27:33	And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,
Matthew 27:34	they gave him wine to drink mixed with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.
Matthew 27:35	And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;
Matthew 27:36	and they sat and watched him there.
Matthew 27:37	And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS YESHUA THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Matthew 27:38	Then two robbers are crucified with him, one on the right hand and one on the left.
Matthew 27:39	And those who passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Matthew 27:40	and saying, You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Matthew 27:41	In like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Matthew 27:42	He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
Matthew 27:43	He trusts in God; let him deliver him now, if he desires him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Matthew 27:44	And the robbers also who were crucified with him cast the same reproach on him.
Matthew 27:45	Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
Matthew 27:46	And about the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Matthew 27:47	And some of those who stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calls Elijah.
Matthew 27:48	And immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Matthew 27:49	And the rest said, Leave him alone; let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.
Matthew 27:50	And Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
Matthew 27:51	And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth quaked; and the rocks were split;
Matthew 27:52	and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
Matthew 27:53	and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
Matthew 27:54	Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Matthew 27:55	And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Yeshua from Galilee, ministering to him:
Matthew 27:56	among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Matthew 27:57	And when evening had come, a rich man from Arimathæa came, named Joseph, who himself also was Yeshua’s disciple:
Matthew 27:58	this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.
Matthew 27:59	And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matthew 27:60	and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.
Matthew 27:61	And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Matthew 27:62	Now on the next day, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
Matthew 27:63	saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was still alive, After three days I rise again.
Matthew 27:64	Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.
Matthew 27:65	Pilate said to them, You have a guard: go, make it as secure as you can.
Matthew 27:66	So they went, and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.
Matthew 28:1	Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Matthew 28:2	And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
Matthew 28:3	His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow:
Matthew 28:4	and for fear of him the guards quaked, and became as dead men.
Matthew 28:5	And the angel answered and said to the women, Do not fear; for I know that you seek Yeshua, who has been crucified.
Matthew 28:6	He is not here; for he has risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew 28:7	And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He has risen from the dead; and look, he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him: look, I have told you.
Matthew 28:8	And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word.
Matthew 28:9	And behold, Yeshua met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and bowed down before him.
Matthew 28:10	Then Yeshua says to them, Do not fear: go tell my brothers to depart into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
Matthew 28:11	Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened.
Matthew 28:12	And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,
Matthew 28:13	saying, Say, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
Matthew 28:14	And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and keep you out of trouble.
Matthew 28:15	So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continues until this day.
Matthew 28:16	But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Yeshua had appointed them.
Matthew 28:17	And when they saw him, they bowed down before him; but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18	And Yeshua came to them and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:19	Go therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
Matthew 28:20	teaching them to observe all things whatever I commanded you: and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.
Mark 1:1	The beginning of the gospel of Yeshua Messiah, the Son of God.
Mark 1:2	Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way;
Mark 1:3	The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of Yehovah, Make his paths straight;
Mark 1:4	John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance to remission of sins.
Mark 1:5	And all the country of Judæa went out to him, and all those of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mark 1:6	And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather belt about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
Mark 1:7	And he preached, saying, There comes after me he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
Mark 1:8	I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
Mark 1:9	And it happened in those days, that Yeshua came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Mark 1:10	And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn open, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
Mark 1:11	and a voice came out of the heavens, You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased.
Mark 1:12	And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.
Mark 1:13	And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
Mark 1:14	Now after John was delivered up, Yeshua came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
Mark 1:15	and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe in the gospel.
Mark 1:16	And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.
Mark 1:17	And Yeshua said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men.
Mark 1:18	And immediately they left the nets, and followed him.
Mark 1:19	And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.
Mark 1:20	And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
Mark 1:21	And they go into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
Mark 1:22	And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark 1:23	And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Mark 1:24	saying, What have we to do with you, Yeshua you Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, the Holy One of God.
Mark 1:25	And Yeshua rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him.
Mark 1:26	And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
Mark 1:27	And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
Mark 1:28	And the report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee around.
Mark 1:29	And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Mark 1:30	Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and immediately they tell him of her:
Mark 1:31	and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
Mark 1:32	And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.
Mark 1:33	And all the city was gathered together at the door.
Mark 1:34	And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Mark 1:35	And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.
Mark 1:36	And Simon and those who were with him followed after him;
Mark 1:37	and they found him, and say to him, All are seeking you.
Mark 1:38	And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end I came out.
Mark 1:39	And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
Mark 1:40	And there comes to him a leper, begging him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If you will, you can make me clean.
Mark 1:41	And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and says to him, I will; be made clean.
Mark 1:42	And immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
Mark 1:43	And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him out,
Mark 1:44	and says to him, See that you say nothing to any man: but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
Mark 1:45	But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so that Yeshua could no longer openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
Mark 2:1	And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was in the house.
Mark 2:2	And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even around the door: and he spoke the word to them.
Mark 2:3	And they come, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four.
Mark 2:4	And when they could not come near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.
Mark 2:5	And Yeshua seeing their faith says to the paralytic, Son, your sins are forgiven.
Mark 2:6	But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mark 2:7	Why does this man speak like this? he blasphemes: who can forgive sins but one, even God?
Mark 2:8	And immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, says to them, Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
Mark 2:9	Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?
Mark 2:10	But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he says to the paralytic),
Mark 2:11	I say to you, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.
Mark 2:12	And he arose, and immediately took up the bed, and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it like this.
Mark 2:13	And he went out again by the seaside; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.
Mark 2:14	And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphæus sitting at the tax booth, and he says to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
Mark 2:15	And it happened, that he was reclining at table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
Mark 2:16	And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, How is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?
Mark 2:17	And when Yeshua heard it, he says to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick: I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
Mark 2:18	And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say to him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?
Mark 2:19	And Yeshua said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mark 2:20	But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
Mark 2:21	No man sews a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: otherwise what should fill it up takes from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.
Mark 2:22	And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perishes, and the skins: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins.
Mark 2:23	And it happened, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears.
Mark 2:24	And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they do on the sabbath day what is not lawful?
Mark 2:25	And he said to them, Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and those who were with him?
Mark 2:26	How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?
Mark 2:27	And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mark 2:28	so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
Mark 3:1	And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered.
Mark 3:2	And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
Mark 3:3	And he says to the man who had his hand withered, Stand forth.
Mark 3:4	And he says to them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
Mark 3:5	And when he had looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out your hand. And he stretched it out; and his hand was restored.
Mark 3:6	And the Pharisees went out, and immediately with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Mark 3:7	And Yeshua with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judæa,
Mark 3:8	and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him.
Mark 3:9	And he spoke to his disciples, that a little boat should wait for him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:
Mark 3:10	for he had healed many; so that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him.
Mark 3:11	And the unclean spirits, whenever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God.
Mark 3:12	And he charged them much that they should not make him known.
Mark 3:13	And he goes up into the mountain, and calls to him those whom he himself wanted; and they went to him.
Mark 3:14	And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach,
Mark 3:15	and to have authority to cast out demons:
Mark 3:16	and Simon he surnamed Peter;
Mark 3:17	and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:
Mark 3:18	and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Cananæan,
Mark 3:19	and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And he comes into a house.
Mark 3:20	And the multitude comes together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
Mark 3:21	And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold of him: for they said, He is beside himself.
Mark 3:22	And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.
Mark 3:23	And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Mark 3:24	And if a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Mark 3:25	And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
Mark 3:26	And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.
Mark 3:27	But no one can enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house.
Mark 3:28	Truly I say to you, All their sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme:
Mark 3:29	but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin:
Mark 3:30	because they said, He has an unclean spirit.
Mark 3:31	And his mother and his brothers come; and, standing outside, they sent to him, calling him.
Mark 3:32	And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say to him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside are seeking you.
Mark 3:33	And he answers them, and says, Who is my mother and my brothers?
Mark 3:34	And looking around on those who sat around him, he says, Behold, my mother and my brothers!
Mark 3:35	For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Mark 4:1	And again he began to teach by the seaside. And there is gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land.
Mark 4:2	And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Mark 4:3	Listen: Behold, the sower went out to sow:
Mark 4:4	and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.
Mark 4:5	And other seed fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
Mark 4:6	and when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Mark 4:7	And other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mark 4:8	And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
Mark 4:9	And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 4:10	And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him about the parables.
Mark 4:11	And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables:
Mark 4:12	that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them.
Mark 4:13	And he says to them, Do you not know this parable? and how shall you know all the parables?
Mark 4:14	The sower sows the word.
Mark 4:15	And these are those by the wayside, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them.
Mark 4:16	And these in like manner are those who are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy;
Mark 4:17	and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.
Mark 4:18	And others are those who are sown among the thorns; these are those who have heard the word,
Mark 4:19	and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mark 4:20	And these are those who were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
Mark 4:21	And he said to them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand?
Mark 4:22	For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be manifested; nor was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.
Mark 4:23	If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 4:24	And he said to them, Take heed what you hear: with what measure you measure it shall be measured to you; and more shall be given to you.
Mark 4:25	For he who has, to him shall be given: and he who does not have, from him shall be taken away even what he has.
Mark 4:26	And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;
Mark 4:27	and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he does not know how.
Mark 4:28	The earth bears fruit by itself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Mark 4:29	But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.
Mark 4:30	And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?
Mark 4:31	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,
Mark 4:32	yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow of it.
Mark 4:33	And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;
Mark 4:34	and without a parable he did not speak to them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.
Mark 4:35	And on that day, when evening had come, he says to them, Let us go over to the other side.
Mark 4:36	And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Mark 4:37	And there arises a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was now filling.
Mark 4:38	And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, do you not care that we perish?
Mark 4:39	And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:40	And he said to them, Why are you fearful? do you not yet have faith?
Mark 4:41	And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mark 5:1	And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.
Mark 5:2	And when he had come out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mark 5:3	who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could bind him any more, no, not even with a chain;
Mark 5:4	because he had often been bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.
Mark 5:5	And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones.
Mark 5:6	And when he saw Yeshua from afar, he ran and bowed down before him;
Mark 5:7	and crying out with a loud voice, he says, What have I to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.
Mark 5:8	For he said to him, Come out, you unclean spirit, out of the man.
Mark 5:9	And he asked him, What is your name? And he says to him, My name is Legion; for we are many.
Mark 5:10	And he begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Mark 5:11	Now there was there on the mountainside a great herd of swine feeding.
Mark 5:12	And they begged him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mark 5:13	And he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea.
Mark 5:14	And those who fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had happened.
Mark 5:15	And they come to Yeshua, and see him who was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind, even him who had the legion: and they were afraid.
Mark 5:16	And those who saw it declared to them how it happened to him who was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine.
Mark 5:17	And they began to beg him to depart from their borders.
Mark 5:18	And as he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him.
Mark 5:19	And he did not allow him, but says to him, Go to your house to your friends, and tell them how great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.
Mark 5:20	And he went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how great things Yeshua had done for him: and all men marveled.
Mark 5:21	And when Yeshua had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea.
Mark 5:22	And there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jaïrus by name; and seeing him, he falls at his feet,
Mark 5:23	and begs him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death: I beg you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live.
Mark 5:24	And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him.
Mark 5:25	And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mark 5:26	and had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,
Mark 5:27	having heard the things concerning Yeshua, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment.
Mark 5:28	For she said, If I touch even his garments, I shall be made whole.
Mark 5:29	And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.
Mark 5:30	And immediately Yeshua, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone out, turned around in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?
Mark 5:31	And his disciples said to him, You see the multitude thronging you, and do you say, Who touched me?
Mark 5:32	And he looked around to see her who had done this thing.
Mark 5:33	But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Mark 5:34	And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace, and be healed of your plague.
Mark 5:35	While he was still speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why do you trouble the Teacher any further?
Mark 5:36	But Yeshua, not heeding the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not fear, only believe.
Mark 5:37	And he allowed no man to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Mark 5:38	And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholds a tumult, and many weeping and wailing greatly.
Mark 5:39	And when he had entered in, he says to them, Why do you make a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleeps.
Mark 5:40	And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all out, takes the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and goes in where the child was.
Mark 5:41	And taking the child by the hand, he says to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to you, Arise.
Mark 5:42	And immediately the girl rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed immediately with a great amazement.
Mark 5:43	And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
Mark 6:1	And he went out from there; and he comes into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Mark 6:2	And when the sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where does this man have these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given to this man, and what are such mighty works done by his hands?
Mark 6:3	Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.
Mark 6:4	And Yeshua said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Mark 6:5	And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Mark 6:6	And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
Mark 6:7	And he calls to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
Mark 6:8	and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money in their purse;
Mark 6:9	but to go shod with sandals: and, he said, do not put on two coats.
Mark 6:10	And he said to them, Wherever you enter into a house, there abide till you depart from there.
Mark 6:11	And whatever place does not receive you, and they do not hear you, as you go out from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them.
Mark 6:12	And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
Mark 6:13	And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.
Mark 6:14	And king Herod heard of it; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers work in him.
Mark 6:15	But others said, It is Elijah. And others said, It is a prophet, even as one of the prophets.
Mark 6:16	But Herod, when he heard of it, said, John, whom I beheaded, he has risen.
Mark 6:17	For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.
Mark 6:18	For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.
Mark 6:19	And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;
Mark 6:20	for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.
Mark 6:21	And when a convenient day came, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;
Mark 6:22	and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those who reclined at table with him; and the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.
Mark 6:23	And he swore to her, Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to the half of my kingdom.
Mark 6:24	And she went out, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.
Mark 6:25	And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
Mark 6:26	And the king was exceedingly sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who reclined at table, he would not reject her.
Mark 6:27	And immediately the king sent a soldier of his guard, and commanded him to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Mark 6:28	and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
Mark 6:29	And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
Mark 6:30	And the apostles gather themselves together to Yeshua; and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
Mark 6:31	And he says to them, Come yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
Mark 6:32	And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.
Mark 6:33	And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.
Mark 6:34	And he came out and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:35	And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;
Mark 6:36	send them away, that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves something to eat.
Mark 6:37	But he answered and said to them, You give them something to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them something to eat?
Mark 6:38	And he says to them, How many loaves do you have? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Mark 6:39	And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass.
Mark 6:40	And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Mark 6:41	And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
Mark 6:42	And they all ate, and were filled.
Mark 6:43	And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes.
Mark 6:44	And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Mark 6:45	And immediately he made his disciples enter into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sends the multitude away.
Mark 6:46	And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray.
Mark 6:47	And when evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
Mark 6:48	And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:
Mark 6:49	but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
Mark 6:50	for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and says to them, Be of good cheer: it is I; do not be afraid.
Mark 6:51	And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves;
Mark 6:52	for they did not understand about the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
Mark 6:53	And when they had crossed over, they came to the land to Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
Mark 6:54	And when they had come out of the boat, immediately the people knew him,
Mark 6:55	and ran around that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those who were sick, where they heard he was.
Mark 6:56	And wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch if only the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Mark 7:1	And there are gathered together to him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,
Mark 7:2	and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands.
Mark 7:3	(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands diligently, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders;
Mark 7:4	and when they come from the marketplace, unless they bathe themselves, they do not eat; and there are many other things, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brass vessels.)
Mark 7:5	And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?
Mark 7:6	And he said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me.
Mark 7:7	But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.
Mark 7:8	You leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
Mark 7:9	And he said to them, Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Mark 7:10	For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him die the death:
Mark 7:11	but you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God;
Mark 7:12	you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother;
Mark 7:13	making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have delivered: and many such things you do.
Mark 7:14	And he called to him the multitude again, and said to them, Hear me all of you, and understand:
Mark 7:15	there is nothing outside the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.
Mark 7:16	
Mark 7:17	And when he had entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.
Mark 7:18	And he says to them, Are you so without understanding also? Do you not perceive, that whatever from outside goes into the man, it cannot defile him;
Mark 7:19	because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into the latrine? —cleansing all foods.
Mark 7:20	And he said, What proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
Mark 7:21	For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,
Mark 7:22	covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:
Mark 7:23	all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7:24	And from there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hidden.
Mark 7:25	But immediately a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
Mark 7:26	Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mark 7:27	And he said to her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not right to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
Mark 7:28	But she answered and says to him, Yes, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
Mark 7:29	And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.
Mark 7:30	And she went away to her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out.
Mark 7:31	And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.
Mark 7:32	And they bring to him one who was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beg him to lay his hand upon him.
Mark 7:33	And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;
Mark 7:34	and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Mark 7:35	And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
Mark 7:36	And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they proclaimed it.
Mark 7:37	And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well; he makes even the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.
Mark 8:1	In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called to him his disciples, and says to them,
Mark 8:2	I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mark 8:3	and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from far away.
Mark 8:4	And his disciples answered him, From where shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?
Mark 8:5	And he asked them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven.
Mark 8:6	And he commands the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
Mark 8:7	And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them.
Mark 8:8	And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.
Mark 8:9	And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Mark 8:10	And immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mark 8:11	And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
Mark 8:12	And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and says, Why does this generation seek a sign? truly I say to you, No sign shall be given to this generation.
Mark 8:13	And he left them, and again entering into the boat departed to the other side.
Mark 8:14	And they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
Mark 8:15	And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
Mark 8:16	And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread.
Mark 8:17	And Yeshua perceiving it says to them, Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet perceive, nor understand? do you have your heart hardened?
Mark 8:18	Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember?
Mark 8:19	When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They say to him, Twelve.
Mark 8:20	And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you take up? And they say to him, Seven.
Mark 8:21	And he said to them, Do you not yet understand?
Mark 8:22	And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beg him to touch him.
Mark 8:23	And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Do you see anything?
Mark 8:24	And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.
Mark 8:25	Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked steadfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.
Mark 8:26	And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.
Mark 8:27	And Yeshua went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
Mark 8:28	And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.
Mark 8:29	And he asked them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answers and says to him, You are the Messiah.
Mark 8:30	And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Mark 8:31	And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark 8:32	And he spoke the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
Mark 8:33	But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and says, Get behind me, Satan; for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.
Mark 8:34	And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mark 8:35	For whoever would save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it.
Mark 8:36	For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Mark 8:37	For what should a man give in exchange for his life?
Mark 8:38	For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mark 9:1	And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here of those who stand by, who shall by no means taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark 9:2	And after six days Yeshua takes with him Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;
Mark 9:3	and his garments became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
Mark 9:4	And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Yeshua.
Mark 9:5	And Peter answers and says to Yeshua, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
Mark 9:6	For he did not know what to answer; for they became greatly afraid.
Mark 9:7	And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Mark 9:8	And suddenly looking around, they saw no one any more, except Yeshua only with themselves.
Mark 9:9	And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, except when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead.
Mark 9:10	And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean.
Mark 9:11	And they asked him, saying, How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?
Mark 9:12	And he said to them, Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
Mark 9:13	But I say to you, that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wished, even as it is written of him.
Mark 9:14	And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.
Mark 9:15	And immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
Mark 9:16	And he asked them, What are you questioning with them?
Mark 9:17	And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Mark 9:18	and wherever it takes him, it throws him down: and he foams, and grinds his teeth, and pines away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.
Mark 9:19	And he answers them and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
Mark 9:20	And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
Mark 9:21	And he asked his father, How long has it been since this came to him? And he said, From childhood.
Mark 9:22	And often it has cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
Mark 9:23	And Yeshua said to him, If you can! All things are possible to the one believing.
Mark 9:24	Immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help my unbelief.
Mark 9:25	And when Yeshua saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Mark 9:26	And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.
Mark 9:27	But Yeshua took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
Mark 9:28	And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?
Mark 9:29	And he said to them, This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer.
Mark 9:30	And they went out from there, and passed through Galilee; and he did not want any man to know it.
Mark 9:31	For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again.
Mark 9:32	But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Mark 9:33	And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were you reasoning on the way?
Mark 9:34	But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest.
Mark 9:35	And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he says to them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mark 9:36	And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Mark 9:37	Whoever receives one of such little children in my name, receives me: and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.
Mark 9:38	John said to him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following us.
Mark 9:39	But Yeshua said, Do not forbid him: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
Mark 9:40	For he who is not against us is for us.
Mark 9:41	For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink, because you are Messiah’s, truly I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.
Mark 9:42	And whoever causes one of these little ones believing in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Mark 9:43	And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off: it is good for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.
Mark 9:44	
Mark 9:45	And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off: it is good for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell.
Mark 9:46	
Mark 9:47	And if your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out: it is good for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;
Mark 9:48	where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark 9:49	For everyone shall be salted with fire.
Mark 9:50	Salt is good: but if the salt has lost its saltness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
Mark 10:1	And he arose from there, and comes into the borders of Judæa and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
Mark 10:2	And there came to him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? testing him.
Mark 10:3	And he answered and said to them, What did Moses command you?
Mark 10:4	And they said, Moses allowed one to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
Mark 10:5	But Yeshua said to them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
Mark 10:6	But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female he made them.
Mark 10:7	For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;
Mark 10:8	and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.
Mark 10:9	What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
Mark 10:10	And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter.
Mark 10:11	And he says to them, Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her:
Mark 10:12	and if she herself puts away her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.
Mark 10:13	And they were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them.
Mark 10:14	But when Yeshua saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, Allow the little children to come to me; do not forbid them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:15	Truly I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall by no means enter into it.
Mark 10:16	And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
Mark 10:17	And as he was going out into the way, one ran to him, and knelt to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Mark 10:18	And Yeshua said to him, Why do you call me good? none is good except one, even God.
Mark 10:19	You know the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.
Mark 10:20	And he said to him, Teacher, all these things I have observed from my youth.
Mark 10:21	And Yeshua looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Mark 10:22	But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one who had great possessions.
Mark 10:23	And Yeshua looked around, and says to his disciples, How hard it shall be for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:24	And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Yeshua answers again, and says to them, Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:25	It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:26	And they were astonished exceedingly, saying to him, Then who can be saved?
Mark 10:27	Yeshua looking upon them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
Mark 10:28	Peter began to say to him, Look, we have left all, and have followed you.
Mark 10:29	Yeshua said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,
Mark 10:30	but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Mark 10:31	But many who are first shall be last; and the last first.
Mark 10:32	And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Yeshua was going before them: and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen to him,
Mark 10:33	saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
Mark 10:34	and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again.
Mark 10:35	And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.
Mark 10:36	And he said to them, What do you want me to do for you?
Mark 10:37	And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on your right hand, and one on your left hand, in your glory.
Mark 10:38	But Yeshua said to them, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Mark 10:39	And they said to him, We are able. And Yeshua said to them, The cup that I drink you shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized with you shall be baptized:
Mark 10:40	but to sit on my right hand or on my left hand is not mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.
Mark 10:41	And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.
Mark 10:42	And Yeshua called them to him, and says to them, You know that those who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Mark 10:43	But it is not so among you: but whoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;
Mark 10:44	and whoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all.
Mark 10:45	For the Son of man also did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:46	And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timæus, Bartimæus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the wayside.
Mark 10:47	And when he heard that it was Yeshua the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me.
Mark 10:48	And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out all the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
Mark 10:49	And Yeshua stood still, and said, Call him. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calls you.
Mark 10:50	And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Yeshua.
Mark 10:51	And Yeshua answered him, and said, What do you want me to do for you? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
Mark 10:52	And Yeshua said to him, Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him in the way.
Mark 11:1	And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
Mark 11:2	and says to them, Go your way into the village that is opposite you: and immediately as you enter into it, you shall find a colt tied, on which no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
Mark 11:3	And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him; and immediately he will send him back here.
Mark 11:4	And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street; and they loose him.
Mark 11:5	And certain of those who stood there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the colt?
Mark 11:6	And they said to them even as Yeshua had said: and they let them go.
Mark 11:7	And they bring the colt to Yeshua, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
Mark 11:8	And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
Mark 11:9	And those who went before, and those who followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yehovah:
Mark 11:10	Blessed is the kingdom that comes, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
Mark 11:11	And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Mark 11:12	And on the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he hungered.
Mark 11:13	And seeing a fig tree far off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find anything on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.
Mark 11:14	And he answered and said to it, May no man eat fruit from you from now on forever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark 11:15	And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
Mark 11:16	and he would not allow any man to carry a vessel through the temple.
Mark 11:17	And he taught, and said to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a den of robbers.
Mark 11:18	And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
Mark 11:19	And every evening he went out of the city.
Mark 11:20	And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Mark 11:21	And Peter calling to remembrance says to him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which you cursed has withered away.
Mark 11:22	And Yeshua answering says to them, Have faith in God.
Mark 11:23	Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea; and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it.
Mark 11:24	Therefore I say to you, All things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
Mark 11:25	And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:26	
Mark 11:27	And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
Mark 11:28	and they said to him, By what authority are you doing these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?
Mark 11:29	And Yeshua said to them, I will ask you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 11:30	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
Mark 11:31	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
Mark 11:32	But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all truly held John to be a prophet.
Mark 11:33	And they answered Yeshua and say, We do not know. And Yeshua says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 12:1	And he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into another country.
Mark 12:2	And at the season he sent to the vinedressers a servant, that he might receive from the vinedressers some of the fruits of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3	And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark 12:4	And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
Mark 12:5	And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mark 12:6	He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mark 12:7	But those vinedressers said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
Mark 12:8	And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Mark 12:9	What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the vinedressers, and will give the vineyard to others.
Mark 12:10	Have you not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, This was made the head of the corner;
Mark 12:11	This was from Yehovah, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
Mark 12:12	And they sought to lay hold of him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.
Mark 12:13	And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
Mark 12:14	And when they had come, they say to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and do not care for anyone; for you do not regard the person of men, but truly teach the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
Mark 12:15	Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you test me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
Mark 12:16	And they brought it. And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cæsar’s.
Mark 12:17	And Yeshua said to them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marveled greatly at him.
Mark 12:18	And there come to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Mark 12:19	Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Mark 12:20	There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
Mark 12:21	and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
Mark 12:22	and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
Mark 12:23	In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her as wife.
Mark 12:24	Yeshua said to them, Is it not for this reason that you err, that you do not know the scriptures, nor the power of God?
Mark 12:25	For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.
Mark 12:26	But concerning the dead, that they are raised; have you not read in the book of Moses, in the place concerning the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Mark 12:27	He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you do greatly err.
Mark 12:28	And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?
Mark 12:29	Yeshua answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; Yehovah our God, Yehovah is one:
Mark 12:30	and you shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
Mark 12:31	The second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
Mark 12:32	And the scribe said to him, Truly, Teacher, you have well said that he is one; and there is no other but he:
Mark 12:33	and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
Mark 12:34	And when Yeshua saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any question.
Mark 12:35	And Yeshua answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David?
Mark 12:36	David himself said in the Holy Spirit, Yehovah said to my lord, Sit on my right hand, Till I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.
Mark 12:37	David himself calls him Lord; and from where is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Mark 12:38	And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and to have salutations in the marketplaces,
Mark 12:39	and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:
Mark 12:40	those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
Mark 12:41	And he sat down opposite the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in much.
Mark 12:42	And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
Mark 12:43	And he called to him his disciples, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow cast in more than all those who are casting into the treasury:
Mark 12:44	for they all cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Mark 13:1	And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!
Mark 13:2	And Yeshua said to him, Do you see these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down.
Mark 13:3	And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Mark 13:4	Tell us, when will these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?
Mark 13:5	And Yeshua began to say to them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
Mark 13:6	Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray.
Mark 13:7	And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled: these things must come to pass; but the end is not yet.
Mark 13:8	For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in various places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of birth pains.
Mark 13:9	But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues you shall be beaten; and before governors and kings you shall stand for my sake, for a testimony to them.
Mark 13:10	And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.
Mark 13:11	And when they lead you to judgment, and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you shall speak: but whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
Mark 13:12	And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Mark 13:13	And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he who endures to the end, he shall be saved.
Mark 13:14	But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those who are in Judæa flee to the mountains:
Mark 13:15	and let him who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:
Mark 13:16	and let him who is in the field not return back to take his cloak.
Mark 13:17	But woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse in those days!
Mark 13:18	And pray that it may not be in the winter.
Mark 13:19	For those days shall be tribulation, such as there has not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.
Mark 13:20	And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
Mark 13:21	And then if any man says to you, Look, here is the Messiah; or, Look, there; do not believe it:
Mark 13:22	for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect.
Mark 13:23	But take heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.
Mark 13:24	But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Mark 13:25	and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken.
Mark 13:26	And then they shall see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:27	And then he shall send out the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mark 13:28	Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near;
Mark 13:29	even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that he is near, even at the doors.
Mark 13:30	Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things are accomplished.
Mark 13:31	Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Mark 13:32	But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
Mark 13:33	Take heed, watch and pray: for you do not know when the time is.
Mark 13:34	It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the gatekeeper to watch.
Mark 13:35	Watch therefore: for you do not know when the lord of the house comes, whether at evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;
Mark 13:36	lest coming suddenly he finds you sleeping.
Mark 13:37	And what I say to you I say to all, Watch.
Mark 14:1	Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:
Mark 14:2	for they said, Not during the feast, lest perhaps there shall be a tumult of the people.
Mark 14:3	And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he reclined at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard very costly; and she broke the flask, and poured it over his head.
Mark 14:4	But there were some who had indignation among themselves, saying, To what purpose has this waste of the ointment been made?
Mark 14:5	For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
Mark 14:6	But Yeshua said, Let her alone; why do you trouble her? she has done a good work on me.
Mark 14:7	For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do them good: but me you do not always have.
Mark 14:8	She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
Mark 14:9	And truly I say to you, Wherever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Mark 14:10	And Judas Iscariot, he who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
Mark 14:11	And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him to them.
Mark 14:12	And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say to him, Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the passover?
Mark 14:13	And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man bearing a pitcher of water shall meet you: follow him;
Mark 14:14	and wherever he enters in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Mark 14:15	And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready: and there make ready for us.
Mark 14:16	And the disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
Mark 14:17	And when it was evening he comes with the twelve.
Mark 14:18	And as they sat and were eating, Yeshua said, Truly I say to you, One of you shall betray me, even he who eats with me.
Mark 14:19	They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?
Mark 14:20	And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
Mark 14:21	For the Son of man goes, even as it is written of him: but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! it would be good for that man if he had not been born.
Mark 14:22	And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take: this is my body.
Mark 14:23	And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.
Mark 14:24	And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Mark 14:25	Truly I say to you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Mark 14:26	And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
Mark 14:27	And Yeshua says to them, All of you shall be offended: for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
Mark 14:28	But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
Mark 14:29	But Peter said to him, Although all shall be offended, yet I will not.
Mark 14:30	And Yeshua says to him, Truly I say to you, that you today, even this night, before the cock crows twice, shall deny me three times.
Mark 14:31	But he spoke exceedingly vehemently, If I must die with you, I will not deny you. And in like manner they all also said.
Mark 14:32	And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.
Mark 14:33	And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and greatly troubled.
Mark 14:34	And he says to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch.
Mark 14:35	And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
Mark 14:36	And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me: yet not what I will, but what you will.
Mark 14:37	And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? could you not watch one hour?
Mark 14:38	Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mark 14:39	And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
Mark 14:40	And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him.
Mark 14:41	And he comes the third time, and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mark 14:42	Arise, let us be going: behold, he who betrays me is at hand.
Mark 14:43	And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas comes, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Mark 14:44	Now he who betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomever I kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
Mark 14:45	And when he had come, immediately he came to him, and says, Rabbi; and kissed him.
Mark 14:46	And they laid hands on him, and took him.
Mark 14:47	But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Mark 14:48	And Yeshua answered and said to them, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
Mark 14:49	I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take me: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
Mark 14:50	And they all left him, and fled.
Mark 14:51	And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked body: and they lay hold of him;
Mark 14:52	but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked.
Mark 14:53	And they led Yeshua away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
Mark 14:54	And Peter had followed him far off, even inside, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
Mark 14:55	Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Yeshua to put him to death; and did not find it.
Mark 14:56	For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree together.
Mark 14:57	And certain men stood up, and bore false witness against him, saying,
Mark 14:58	We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.
Mark 14:59	And not even so did their witness agree together.
Mark 14:60	And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Yeshua, saying, Do you answer nothing? what is it which these witness against you?
Mark 14:61	But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed?
Mark 14:62	And Yeshua said, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14:63	And the high priest tore his clothes, and says, What further need have we of witnesses?
Mark 14:64	You have heard the blasphemy: what do you think? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Mark 14:65	And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands.
Mark 14:66	And as Peter was beneath in the court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest;
Mark 14:67	and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and says, You also were with the Nazarene, even Yeshua.
Mark 14:68	But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what you are saying: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed.
Mark 14:69	And the maid saw him, and began again to say to those who stood by, This is one of them.
Mark 14:70	But he again denied it. And after a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilæan.
Mark 14:71	But he began to curse, and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak.
Mark 14:72	And immediately the second time the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word, how Yeshua said to him, Before the cock crows twice, you shall deny me three times. And when he thought on it, he wept.
Mark 15:1	And immediately in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Yeshua, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.
Mark 15:2	And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answering says to him, You say.
Mark 15:3	And the chief priests accused him of many things.
Mark 15:4	And Pilate again asked him, saying, Do you answer nothing? behold how many things they accuse you of.
Mark 15:5	But Yeshua no more answered anything; so that Pilate marveled.
Mark 15:6	Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.
Mark 15:7	And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with those who had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder.
Mark 15:8	And the multitude went up and began to ask him to do as he was accustomed to do for them.
Mark 15:9	And Pilate answered them, saying, Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?
Mark 15:10	For he perceived that out of envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
Mark 15:11	But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas to them.
Mark 15:12	And Pilate again answered and said to them, What then shall I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?
Mark 15:13	And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Mark 15:14	And Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.
Mark 15:15	And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered Yeshua, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
Mark 15:16	And the soldiers led him away inside the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band.
Mark 15:17	And they clothe him with purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, they put it on him;
Mark 15:18	and they began to greet him, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mark 15:19	And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees paid homage to him.
Mark 15:20	And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.
Mark 15:21	And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross.
Mark 15:22	And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Mark 15:23	And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he did not receive it.
Mark 15:24	And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take.
Mark 15:25	And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Mark 15:26	And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark 15:27	And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.
Mark 15:28	
Mark 15:29	And those who passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! you who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,
Mark 15:30	save yourself, and come down from the cross.
Mark 15:31	In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
Mark 15:32	Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with him reproached him.
Mark 15:33	And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Mark 15:34	And at the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Mark 15:35	And some of those who stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calls Elijah.
Mark 15:36	And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Wait; let us see whether Elijah comes to take him down.
Mark 15:37	And Yeshua uttered a loud voice, and breathed his last.
Mark 15:38	And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom.
Mark 15:39	And when the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he so breathed his last, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Mark 15:40	And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
Mark 15:41	who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Mark 15:42	And when evening had now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Mark 15:43	there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councilor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua.
Mark 15:44	And Pilate marveled whether he were already dead: and calling to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead long.
Mark 15:45	And when he learned it from the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph.
Mark 15:46	And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
Mark 15:47	And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Mark 16:1	And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Mark 16:2	And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun had risen.
Mark 16:3	And they were saying among themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?
Mark 16:4	and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceedingly great.
Mark 16:5	And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
Mark 16:6	And he says to them, Do not be amazed: you seek Yeshua, the Nazarene, who has been crucified: he has risen; he is not here: behold, the place where they laid him!
Mark 16:7	But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you shall see him, as he said to you.
Mark 16:8	And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them: and they said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
Mark 16:9	Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
Mark 16:10	She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
Mark 16:11	And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen by her, disbelieved.
Mark 16:12	And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.
Mark 16:13	And they went away and told it to the rest: nor did they believe them.
Mark 16:14	And afterward he was manifested to the eleven themselves as they reclined at table; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
Mark 16:15	And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
Mark 16:16	He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.
Mark 16:17	And these signs shall accompany those who have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:18	they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall by no means hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:19	So then the Lord Yeshua, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mark 16:20	And they went out, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.
Luke 1:1	Inasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,
Luke 1:2	even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
Luke 1:3	it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write to you in order, most excellent Theophilus;
Luke 1:4	that you might know the certainty concerning the things in which you were instructed.
Luke 1:5	There was in the days of Herod, king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Luke 1:6	And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke 1:7	And they had no child, because Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now advanced in years.
Luke 1:8	Now it happened, while he was performing the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,
Luke 1:9	according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense.
Luke 1:10	And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
Luke 1:11	And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Luke 1:12	And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him.
Luke 1:13	But the angel said to him, Do not fear, Zacharias: because your supplication has been heard, and your wife Elisabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.
Luke 1:14	And you shall have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luke 1:15	For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.
Luke 1:16	And many of the children of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God.
Luke 1:17	And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.
Luke 1:18	And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
Luke 1:19	And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you these good tidings.
Luke 1:20	And behold, you shall be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Luke 1:21	And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marveled while he lingered in the temple.
Luke 1:22	And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs to them, and remained mute.
Luke 1:23	And it happened, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he departed to his house.
Luke 1:24	And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,
Luke 1:25	Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.
Luke 1:26	Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luke 1:27	to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
Luke 1:28	And he came in to her, and said, Hail, you who are highly favored, the Lord is with you.
Luke 1:29	But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what manner of greeting this might be.
Luke 1:30	And the angel said to her, Do not fear, Mary: for you have found favor with God.
Luke 1:31	And behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name YESHUA.
Luke 1:32	He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:
Luke 1:33	and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:34	And Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, seeing I do not know a man?
Luke 1:35	And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you: therefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:36	And behold, Elisabeth your kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.
Luke 1:37	For no word from God shall be void of power.
Luke 1:38	And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:39	And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;
Luke 1:40	and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elisabeth.
Luke 1:41	And it happened, when Elisabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;
Luke 1:42	and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Luke 1:43	And from where does this come to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:44	For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
Luke 1:45	And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
Luke 1:46	And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
Luke 1:47	And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
Luke 1:48	For he has looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from now on all generations shall call me blessed.
Luke 1:49	For he who is mighty has done great things to me; And holy is his name.
Luke 1:50	And his mercy is to generations and generations On those who fear him.
Luke 1:51	He has shown strength with his arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart.
Luke 1:52	He has put down princes from their thrones, And has exalted those of low degree.
Luke 1:53	The hungry he has filled with good things; And the rich he has sent away empty.
Luke 1:54	He has given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy
Luke 1:55	(As he spoke to our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed forever.
Luke 1:56	And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Luke 1:57	Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she gave birth to a son.
Luke 1:58	And her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy toward her; and they rejoiced with her.
Luke 1:59	And it happened on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Luke 1:60	And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Luke 1:61	And they said to her, There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.
Luke 1:62	And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called.
Luke 1:63	And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they all marveled.
Luke 1:64	And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
Luke 1:65	And fear came on all who lived around them: and all these sayings were talked about throughout all the hill country of Judæa.
Luke 1:66	And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
Luke 1:67	And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
Luke 1:68	Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; For he has visited and accomplished redemption for his people,
Luke 1:69	And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David
Luke 1:70	(As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old),
Luke 1:71	Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us;
Luke 1:72	To show mercy toward our fathers, And to remember his holy covenant;
Luke 1:73	The oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
Luke 1:74	To grant to us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,
Luke 1:75	In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Luke 1:76	And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High: For you shall go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;
Luke 1:77	To give knowledge of salvation to his people In the remission of their sins,
Luke 1:78	Because of the tender mercy of our God, By which the sunrise from on high shall visit us,
Luke 1:79	To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; To guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 1:80	And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts until the day of his showing to Israel.
Luke 2:1	Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.
Luke 2:2	This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
Luke 2:3	And all went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city.
Luke 2:4	And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;
Luke 2:5	to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being with child.
Luke 2:6	And it happened, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.
Luke 2:7	And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:8	And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Luke 2:9	And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them: and they were greatly afraid.
Luke 2:10	And the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:
Luke 2:11	for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord.
Luke 2:12	And this is the sign to you: You shall find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.
Luke 2:13	And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luke 2:14	Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.
Luke 2:15	And it happened, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.
Luke 2:16	And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
Luke 2:17	And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.
Luke 2:18	And all who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds.
Luke 2:19	But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Luke 2:20	And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them.
Luke 2:21	And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called YESHUA, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Luke 2:22	And when the days of their purification according to the Torah of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord
Luke 2:23	(as it is written in the Torah of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),
Luke 2:24	and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Luke 2:25	And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Luke 2:26	And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.
Luke 2:27	And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Yeshua, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the Torah,
Luke 2:28	then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Luke 2:29	Now let your servant depart, Lord, According to your word, in peace;
Luke 2:30	For my eyes have seen your salvation,
Luke 2:31	Which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
Luke 2:32	A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of your people Israel.
Luke 2:33	And his father and his mother were marveling at the things which were spoken concerning him;
Luke 2:34	and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;
Luke 2:35	yes, and a sword shall pierce through your own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.
Luke 2:36	And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Luke 2:37	and she had been a widow even to eighty-four years), who did not depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.
Luke 2:38	And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Luke 2:39	And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the Torah of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Luke 2:40	And the child grew, and became strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke 2:41	And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.
Luke 2:42	And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;
Luke 2:43	and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Yeshua stayed behind in Jerusalem; and his parents did not know it;
Luke 2:44	but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their relatives and acquaintances:
Luke 2:45	and when they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.
Luke 2:46	And it happened, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:
Luke 2:47	and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
Luke 2:48	And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said to him, Son, why have you thus dealt with us? behold, your father and I sought you sorrowing.
Luke 2:49	And he said to them, How is it that you sought me? did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
Luke 2:50	And they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them.
Luke 2:51	And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luke 2:52	And Yeshua advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Luke 3:1	Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituræa and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
Luke 3:2	in the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Luke 3:3	And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance to remission of sins;
Luke 3:4	as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of Yehovah, Make his paths straight.
Luke 3:5	Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;
Luke 3:6	And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Luke 3:7	He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized by him, You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Luke 3:8	Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father: for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Luke 3:9	And even now the axe also lies at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luke 3:10	And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?
Luke 3:11	And he answered and said to them, He who has two coats, let him impart to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.
Luke 3:12	And there came also tax collectors to be baptized, and they said to him, Teacher, what must we do?
Luke 3:13	And he said to them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.
Luke 3:14	And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said to them, Extort from no one by violence, nor accuse anyone wrongfully; and be content with your wages.
Luke 3:15	And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Messiah;
Luke 3:16	John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
Luke 3:17	whose winnowing fork is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
Luke 3:18	With many other exhortations therefore he preached good tidings to the people;
Luke 3:19	but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
Luke 3:20	added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
Luke 3:21	Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, that, Yeshua also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Luke 3:22	and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.
Luke 3:23	And Yeshua himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
Luke 3:24	the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,
Luke 3:25	the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,
Luke 3:26	the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,
Luke 3:27	the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,
Luke 3:28	the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
Luke 3:29	the son of Yeshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,
Luke 3:30	the son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,
Luke 3:31	the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
Luke 3:32	the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,
Luke 3:33	the son of Amminadab, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,
Luke 3:34	the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
Luke 3:35	the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,
Luke 3:36	the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
Luke 3:37	the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,
Luke 3:38	the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
Luke 4:1	And Yeshua, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness
Luke 4:2	during forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he was hungry.
Luke 4:3	And the devil said to him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.
Luke 4:4	And Yeshua answered to him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.
Luke 4:5	And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke 4:6	And the devil said to him, To you I will give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it has been delivered to me; and to whomever I will I give it.
Luke 4:7	If you therefore will bow down before me, it shall all be yours.
Luke 4:8	And Yeshua answered and said to him, It is written, You shall worship Yehovah your God, and him only shall you serve.
Luke 4:9	And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here:
Luke 4:10	for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you, to guard you:
Luke 4:11	and, On their hands they shall bear you up, Lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.
Luke 4:12	And Yeshua answering said to him, It is said, You shall not make trial of Yehovah your God.
Luke 4:13	And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Luke 4:14	And Yeshua returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out concerning him through all the surrounding region.
Luke 4:15	And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Luke 4:16	And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read.
Luke 4:17	And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
Luke 4:18	The Spirit of Yehovah is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are bruised,
Luke 4:19	To proclaim the acceptable year of Yehovah.
Luke 4:20	And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luke 4:21	And he began to say to them, Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your ears.
Luke 4:22	And all bore him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is this not Joseph’s son?
Luke 4:23	And he said to them, Doubtless you will say to me this parable, Physician, heal yourself: whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your own country.
Luke 4:24	And he said, Truly I say to you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country.
Luke 4:25	But in truth I say to you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;
Luke 4:26	and to none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
Luke 4:27	And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.
Luke 4:28	And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;
Luke 4:29	and they rose up, and cast him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
Luke 4:30	But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
Luke 4:31	And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:
Luke 4:32	and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority.
Luke 4:33	And in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,
Luke 4:34	Ah! what have we to do with you, Yeshua you Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
Luke 4:35	And Yeshua rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.
Luke 4:36	And amazement came upon all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Luke 4:37	And a rumor went out concerning him into every place of the surrounding region.
Luke 4:38	And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was suffering from a great fever; and they begged him for her.
Luke 4:39	And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered to them.
Luke 4:40	And when the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Luke 4:41	And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God. And rebuking them, he did not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.
Luke 4:42	And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came to him, and would have kept him, that he should not go from them.
Luke 4:43	But he said to them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for this reason I was sent.
Luke 4:44	And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
Luke 5:1	Now it happened, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;
Luke 5:2	and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
Luke 5:3	And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat.
Luke 5:4	And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch.
Luke 5:5	And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets.
Luke 5:6	And when they had done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish; and their nets were breaking;
Luke 5:7	and they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
Luke 5:8	But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Yeshua’s knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Luke 5:9	For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken;
Luke 5:10	and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Yeshua said to Simon, Do not fear; from now on you shall catch men.
Luke 5:11	And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.
Luke 5:12	And it happened, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.
Luke 5:13	And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be made clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Luke 5:14	And he charged him to tell no one: but go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
Luke 5:15	But so much the more the report concerning him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
Luke 5:16	But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed.
Luke 5:17	And it happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galilee and Judæa and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal.
Luke 5:18	And behold, men bring on a bed a man who was paralyzed: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Luke 5:19	And not finding by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Yeshua.
Luke 5:20	And seeing their faith, he said, Man, your sins are forgiven you.
Luke 5:21	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Luke 5:22	But Yeshua perceiving their reasonings, answered and said to them, Why do you reason in your hearts?
Luke 5:23	Which is easier, to say, Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise and walk?
Luke 5:24	But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (he said to him who was paralyzed), I say to you, Arise, and take up your couch, and go to your house.
Luke 5:25	And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Luke 5:26	And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.
Luke 5:27	And after these things he went out, and saw a tax collector, named Levi, sitting at the tax booth, and said to him, Follow me.
Luke 5:28	And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him.
Luke 5:29	And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of tax collectors and of others who were reclining at table with them.
Luke 5:30	And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?
Luke 5:31	And Yeshua answering said to them, Those who are in health have no need of a physician; but those who are sick.
Luke 5:32	I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.
Luke 5:33	And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees; but yours eat and drink.
Luke 5:34	And Yeshua said to them, Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luke 5:35	But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.
Luke 5:36	And he spoke also a parable to them: No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old.
Luke 5:37	And no one puts new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
Luke 5:38	But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
Luke 5:39	And no one having drunk old wine desires new; for he says, The old is good.
Luke 6:1	Now it happened on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.
Luke 6:2	But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do you do that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?
Luke 6:3	And Yeshua answering them said, Have you not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and those who were with him;
Luke 6:4	how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to those who were with him; which it is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?
Luke 6:5	And he said to them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
Luke 6:6	And it happened on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Luke 6:7	And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.
Luke 6:8	But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Luke 6:9	And Yeshua said to them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?
Luke 6:10	And he looked around on them all, and said to him, Stretch out your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored.
Luke 6:11	But they were filled with madness; and discussed with one another what they might do to Yeshua.
Luke 6:12	And it happened in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke 6:13	And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:
Luke 6:14	Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke 6:15	and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
Luke 6:16	and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;
Luke 6:17	and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judæa and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luke 6:18	and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
Luke 6:19	And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all.
Luke 6:20	And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are you poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:21	Blessed are you who hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now: for you shall laugh.
Luke 6:22	Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
Luke 6:23	Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner their fathers did to the prophets.
Luke 6:24	But woe to you who are rich! for you have received your consolation.
Luke 6:25	Woe to you, you who are full now! for you shall hunger. Woe to you, you who laugh now! for you shall mourn and weep.
Luke 6:26	Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner their fathers did to the false prophets.
Luke 6:27	But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Luke 6:28	bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
Luke 6:29	To him who strikes you on the one cheek offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak do not withhold your coat also.
Luke 6:30	Give to everyone who asks you; and from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
Luke 6:31	And as you wish that men should do to you, you also do to them likewise.
Luke 6:32	And if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? for even sinners love those who love them.
Luke 6:33	And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? for even sinners do the same.
Luke 6:34	And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
Luke 6:35	But love your enemies, and do them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
Luke 6:36	Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Luke 6:37	And do not judge, and you shall not be judged: and do not condemn, and you shall not be condemned: release, and you shall be released:
Luke 6:38	give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure you measure it shall be measured to you again.
Luke 6:39	And he spoke also a parable to them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?
Luke 6:40	The disciple is not above his teacher: but everyone when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.
Luke 6:41	And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your own eye?
Luke 6:42	Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, let me cast out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to cast out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
Luke 6:43	For there is no good tree that brings forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that brings forth good fruit.
Luke 6:44	For each tree is known by its own fruit. For from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes.
Luke 6:45	The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Luke 6:46	And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say?
Luke 6:47	Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you whom he is like:
Luke 6:48	he is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well built.
Luke 6:49	But he who hears, and does not do them, is like a man who built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.
Luke 7:1	After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Luke 7:2	And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Luke 7:3	And when he heard concerning Yeshua, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant.
Luke 7:4	And they, when they came to Yeshua, begged him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that you should do this for him;
Luke 7:5	for he loves our nation, and himself built us our synagogue.
Luke 7:6	And Yeshua went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, do not trouble yourself; for I am not worthy that you should come under my roof:
Luke 7:7	therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come to you: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luke 7:8	For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
Luke 7:9	And when Yeshua heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Luke 7:10	And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole.
Luke 7:11	And it happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
Luke 7:12	Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one who was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.
Luke 7:13	And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Do not weep.
Luke 7:14	And he came near and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Arise.
Luke 7:15	And he who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Luke 7:16	And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has arisen among us: and, God has visited his people.
Luke 7:17	And this report went out concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the surrounding region.
Luke 7:18	And the disciples of John told him of all these things.
Luke 7:19	And John calling to him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Are you he who comes, or do we look for another?
Luke 7:20	And when the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who comes, or do we look for another?
Luke 7:21	In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.
Luke 7:22	And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
Luke 7:23	And blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Luke 7:24	And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
Luke 7:25	But what did you go out to see? a man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.
Luke 7:26	But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
Luke 7:27	This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way before you.
Luke 7:28	I say to you, Among those who are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he who is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Luke 7:29	And all the people when they heard, and the tax collectors, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luke 7:30	But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, not being baptized by him.
Luke 7:31	To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
Luke 7:32	They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call to one another; who say, We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.
Luke 7:33	For John the Baptist has come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.
Luke 7:34	The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!
Luke 7:35	And wisdom is justified by all her children.
Luke 7:36	And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and reclined at table.
Luke 7:37	And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster flask of ointment,
Luke 7:38	and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Luke 7:39	Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that touches him, that she is a sinner.
Luke 7:40	And Yeshua answering said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he says, Teacher, say on.
Luke 7:41	A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty.
Luke 7:42	When they had nothing with which to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?
Luke 7:43	Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said to him, You have rightly judged.
Luke 7:44	And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet: but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Luke 7:45	You gave me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Luke 7:46	My head with oil you did not anoint: but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Luke 7:47	Therefore I say to you, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.
Luke 7:48	And he said to her, Your sins are forgiven.
Luke 7:49	And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgives sins?
Luke 7:50	And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.
Luke 8:1	And it happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,
Luke 8:2	and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
Luke 8:3	and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them out of their means.
Luke 8:4	And when a great multitude came together, and those of every city came to him, he spoke by a parable:
Luke 8:5	The sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.
Luke 8:6	And some fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Luke 8:7	And some fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
Luke 8:8	And some fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 8:9	And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
Luke 8:10	And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
Luke 8:11	Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luke 8:12	And those by the wayside are those who have heard; then comes the devil, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
Luke 8:13	And those on the rock are those who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Luke 8:14	And that which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luke 8:15	And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luke 8:16	And no one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
Luke 8:17	For nothing is hidden, that shall not be made manifest; nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.
Luke 8:18	Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinks he has.
Luke 8:19	And there came to him his mother and brothers, and they could not get to him for the crowd.
Luke 8:20	And it was told him, Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.
Luke 8:21	But he answered and said to them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it.
Luke 8:22	Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake: and they set out.
Luke 8:23	But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
Luke 8:24	And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Luke 8:25	And he said to them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marveled, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
Luke 8:26	And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
Luke 8:27	And when he had come out upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in any house, but in the tombs.
Luke 8:28	And when he saw Yeshua, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.
Luke 8:29	For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For many times it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the deserts.
Luke 8:30	And Yeshua asked him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.
Luke 8:31	And they begged him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.
Luke 8:32	Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they begged him that he would give them permission to enter into them. And he gave them permission.
Luke 8:33	And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
Luke 8:34	And when those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
Luke 8:35	And they went out to see what had happened; and they came to Yeshua, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Yeshua: and they were afraid.
Luke 8:36	And those who saw it told them how he who was possessed with demons was made whole.
Luke 8:37	And all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned.
Luke 8:38	But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,
Luke 8:39	Return to your house, and declare how great things God has done for you. And he went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city how great things Yeshua had done for him.
Luke 8:40	And as Yeshua returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
Luke 8:41	And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Yeshua’s feet, and begged him to come into his house;
Luke 8:42	for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes pressed around him.
Luke 8:43	And a woman having a discharge of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed by any,
Luke 8:44	came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her discharge of blood stopped.
Luke 8:45	And Yeshua said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and those who were with him, Master, the multitudes press you and crush you.
Luke 8:46	But Yeshua said, Someone touched me; for I perceived that power had gone out from me.
Luke 8:47	And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Luke 8:48	And he said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace.
Luke 8:49	While he was still speaking, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher.
Luke 8:50	But Yeshua hearing it, answered him, Do not fear: only believe, and she shall be made whole.
Luke 8:51	And when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.
Luke 8:52	And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Do not weep; for she is not dead, but sleeps.
Luke 8:53	And they laughed at him in scorn, knowing that she was dead.
Luke 8:54	But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Girl, arise.
Luke 8:55	And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that something be given her to eat.
Luke 8:56	And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
Luke 9:1	And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Luke 9:2	And he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:3	And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
Luke 9:4	And into whatever house you enter, there abide, and from there depart.
Luke 9:5	And as many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Luke 9:6	And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
Luke 9:7	Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;
Luke 9:8	and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen again.
Luke 9:9	And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
Luke 9:10	And the apostles, when they had returned, declared to him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida.
Luke 9:11	But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and those who had need of healing he cured.
Luke 9:12	And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and country, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place.
Luke 9:13	But he said to them, You give them something to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fish; unless we should go and buy food for all this people.
Luke 9:14	For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each.
Luke 9:15	And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Luke 9:16	And he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Luke 9:17	And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
Luke 9:18	And it happened, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
Luke 9:19	And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
Luke 9:20	And he said to them, But who do you say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.
Luke 9:21	But he charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no one;
Luke 9:22	saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
Luke 9:23	And he said to all, If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Luke 9:24	For whoever would save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Luke 9:25	For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?
Luke 9:26	For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in his own glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.
Luke 9:27	But I tell you truly, There are some of those who stand here, who shall by no means taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:28	And it happened about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
Luke 9:29	And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became white and dazzling.
Luke 9:30	And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;
Luke 9:31	who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luke 9:32	Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men who stood with him.
Luke 9:33	And it happened, as they were parting from him, Peter said to Yeshua, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.
Luke 9:34	And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Luke 9:35	And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear him.
Luke 9:36	And when the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.
Luke 9:37	And it happened, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Luke 9:38	And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only child:
Luke 9:39	and behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.
Luke 9:40	And I begged your disciples to cast it out; and they could not.
Luke 9:41	And Yeshua answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring your son here.
Luke 9:42	And as he was still coming, the demon dashed him down, and tore him grievously. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
Luke 9:43	And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,
Luke 9:44	Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.
Luke 9:45	But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
Luke 9:46	And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.
Luke 9:47	But when Yeshua saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,
Luke 9:48	and said to them, Whoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me: and whoever shall receive me receives him who sent me: for he who is least among you all, the same is great.
Luke 9:49	And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.
Luke 9:50	But Yeshua said to him, Do not forbid him: for he who is not against you is for you.
Luke 9:51	And it happened, when the days were nearly come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Luke 9:52	and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Luke 9:53	And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.
Luke 9:54	And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
Luke 9:55	But he turned, and rebuked them.
Luke 9:56	And they went to another village.
Luke 9:57	And as they went on the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow you wherever you go.
Luke 9:58	And Yeshua said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven have nests; but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.
Luke 9:59	And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.
Luke 9:60	But he said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but you go and proclaim abroad the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:61	And another also said, I will follow you, Lord; but first allow me to bid farewell to those who are at my house.
Luke 9:62	But Yeshua said to him, No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 10:1	Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come.
Luke 10:2	And he said to them, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few: therefore pray the Lord of the harvest, that he send out laborers into his harvest.
Luke 10:3	Go your ways; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
Luke 10:4	Carry no purse, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.
Luke 10:5	And into whatever house you shall enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luke 10:6	And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again.
Luke 10:7	And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
Luke 10:8	And into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
Luke 10:9	and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come near to you.
Luke 10:10	But into whatever city you shall enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
Luke 10:11	Even the dust from your city, that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.
Luke 10:12	I say to you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Luke 10:13	Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luke 10:14	But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.
Luke 10:15	And you, Capernaum, shall you be exalted to heaven? you shall be brought down to Hades.
Luke 10:16	He who hears you hears me; and he who rejects you rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.
Luke 10:17	And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.
Luke 10:18	And he said to them, I saw Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.
Luke 10:19	Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke 10:20	Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:21	In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to babes: yes, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Luke 10:22	All things have been delivered to me by my Father: and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him.
Luke 10:23	And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see:
Luke 10:24	for I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
Luke 10:25	And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put him to the test, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 10:26	And he said to him, What is written in the Torah? how do you read?
Luke 10:27	And he answering said, You shall love Yehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
Luke 10:28	And he said to him, You have answered right: do this, and you shall live.
Luke 10:29	But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Yeshua, And who is my neighbor?
Luke 10:30	Yeshua answered and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luke 10:31	And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Luke 10:32	And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Luke 10:33	But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
Luke 10:34	and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luke 10:35	And on the next day he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever you spend more, I, when I come back again, will repay you.
Luke 10:36	Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?
Luke 10:37	And he said, He who showed mercy on him. And Yeshua said to him, Go, and you do likewise.
Luke 10:38	Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luke 10:39	And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word.
Luke 10:40	But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? tell her therefore to help me.
Luke 10:41	But the Lord answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things:
Luke 10:42	but one thing is needful: for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke 11:1	And it happened, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
Luke 11:2	And he said to them, When you pray, say, Father, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
Luke 11:3	Give us day by day our daily bread.
Luke 11:4	And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not bring us into temptation.
Luke 11:5	And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luke 11:6	for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
Luke 11:7	and he from within shall answer and say, Do not trouble me: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give you?
Luke 11:8	I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will arise and give him as many as he needs.
Luke 11:9	And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
Luke 11:10	For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
Luke 11:11	And which of you who is a father, if his son shall ask for a loaf, will give him a stone? or for a fish, will for a fish give him a serpent?
Luke 11:12	Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
Luke 11:13	If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
Luke 11:14	And he was casting out a demon that was mute. And it happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
Luke 11:15	But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons he casts out demons.
Luke 11:16	And others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
Luke 11:17	But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falls.
Luke 11:18	And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
Luke 11:19	And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Luke 11:20	But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Luke 11:21	When the strong man fully armed guards his own court, his goods are in peace:
Luke 11:22	but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
Luke 11:23	He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not gather with me scatters.
Luke 11:24	The unclean spirit when he has gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, I will turn back to my house from which I came out.
Luke 11:25	And when he has come, he finds it swept and put in order.
Luke 11:26	Then he goes, and takes to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.
Luke 11:27	And it happened, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed.
Luke 11:28	But he said, Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:29	And when the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeks after a sign; and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Luke 11:30	For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Luke 11:31	The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Luke 11:32	The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Luke 11:33	No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar, nor under the bushel, but on the stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
Luke 11:34	The lamp of your body is your eye: when your eye is single, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.
Luke 11:35	Look therefore whether the light that is in you is not darkness.
Luke 11:36	If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.
Luke 11:37	Now as he spoke, a Pharisee asks him to dine with him: and he went in, and reclined at table.
Luke 11:38	And when the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner.
Luke 11:39	And the Lord said to him, Now you the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
Luke 11:40	You foolish ones, did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
Luke 11:41	But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean to you.
Luke 11:42	But woe to you Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Luke 11:43	Woe to you Pharisees! for you love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Luke 11:44	Woe to you! for you are as the tombs which do not appear, and the men who walk over them do not know it.
Luke 11:45	And one of the lawyers answering says to him, Teacher, in saying this you reproach us also.
Luke 11:46	And he said, Woe to you lawyers also! for you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
Luke 11:47	Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke 11:48	So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
Luke 11:49	Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they shall kill and persecute;
Luke 11:50	that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luke 11:51	from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
Luke 11:52	Woe to you lawyers! for you took away the key of knowledge: you did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.
Luke 11:53	And when he had come out from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;
Luke 11:54	lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
Luke 12:1	In the meantime, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they trampled one another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2	But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hidden, that shall not be known.
Luke 12:3	Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:4	And I say to you my friends, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke 12:5	But I will warn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, who after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.
Luke 12:6	Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
Luke 12:7	But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear: you are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:8	And I say to you, Everyone who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Luke 12:9	but he who denies me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Luke 12:10	And everyone who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
Luke 12:11	And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say:
Luke 12:12	for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.
Luke 12:13	And one out of the multitude said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
Luke 12:14	But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Luke 12:15	And he said to them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
Luke 12:16	And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luke 12:17	and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere to store my fruits?
Luke 12:18	And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
Luke 12:19	And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.
Luke 12:20	But God said to him, You foolish one, this night your soul is required of you; and the things which you have prepared, whose shall they be?
Luke 12:21	So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luke 12:22	And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Do not be anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on.
Luke 12:23	For the life is more than the food, and the body than the clothing.
Luke 12:24	Consider the ravens, that they neither sow nor reap; which have no storeroom nor barn; and God feeds them: of how much more value are you than the birds!
Luke 12:25	And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to the measure of his life?
Luke 12:26	If then you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?
Luke 12:27	Consider the lilies, how they grow: they do not toil, nor do they spin; yet I say to you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke 12:28	But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O you of little faith?
Luke 12:29	And do not seek what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, nor be of doubtful mind.
Luke 12:30	For all these things the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
Luke 12:31	Yet seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.
Luke 12:32	Do not fear, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke 12:33	Sell that which you have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief draws near, nor moth destroys.
Luke 12:34	For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:35	Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
Luke 12:36	and be yourselves like men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Luke 12:37	Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: truly I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and have them recline at table, and shall come and serve them.
Luke 12:38	And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Luke 12:39	But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken into.
Luke 12:40	You also be ready: for in an hour that you do not think the Son of man comes.
Luke 12:41	And Peter said, Lord, are you speaking this parable to us, or even to all?
Luke 12:42	And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Luke 12:43	Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
Luke 12:44	Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Luke 12:45	But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunk;
Luke 12:46	the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour when he does not know, and shall cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
Luke 12:47	And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and did not make ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
Luke 12:48	but he who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him they will ask the more.
Luke 12:49	I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?
Luke 12:50	But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Luke 12:51	Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, No; but rather division:
Luke 12:52	for from now on there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke 12:53	They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:54	And he said to the multitudes also, When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, There comes a shower; and so it comes to pass.
Luke 12:55	And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, There will be a scorching heat; and it comes to pass.
Luke 12:56	You hypocrites, you know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that you do not know how to interpret this time?
Luke 12:57	And why even of yourselves do you not judge what is right?
Luke 12:58	For as you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make every effort to be free of him; lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge shall deliver you to the officer, and the officer shall cast you into prison.
Luke 12:59	I say to you, You shall by no means come out from there, until you have paid the very last mite.
Luke 13:1	Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Luke 13:2	And he answered and said to them, Do you think that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things?
Luke 13:3	I tell you, No: but, unless you repent, you shall all in like manner perish.
Luke 13:4	Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that they were offenders above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
Luke 13:5	I tell you, No: but, unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Luke 13:6	And he spoke this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
Luke 13:7	And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why does it also use up the ground?
Luke 13:8	And he answering says to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and put manure on it:
Luke 13:9	and if it bears fruit from then on, well; but if not, you shall cut it down.
Luke 13:10	And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
Luke 13:11	And behold, a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent over, and could by no means lift herself up.
Luke 13:12	And when Yeshua saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.
Luke 13:13	And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Luke 13:14	And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Yeshua had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath.
Luke 13:15	But the Lord answered him, and said, You hypocrites, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
Luke 13:16	And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, look, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?
Luke 13:17	And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Luke 13:18	He said therefore, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
Luke 13:19	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in its branches.
Luke 13:20	And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luke 13:21	It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.
Luke 13:22	And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on to Jerusalem.
Luke 13:23	And one said to him, Lord, are there few who are saved? And he said to them,
Luke 13:24	Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke 13:25	When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I do not know where you are from;
Luke 13:26	then you shall begin to say, We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets;
Luke 13:27	and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.
Luke 13:28	There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast out.
Luke 13:29	And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Luke 13:30	And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.
Luke 13:31	In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get out, and go from here: for Herod wants to kill you.
Luke 13:32	And he said to them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am perfected.
Luke 13:33	Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside Jerusalem.
Luke 13:34	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you would not!
Luke 13:35	Behold, your house is left to you desolate: and I say to you, You shall not see me, until you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yehovah.
Luke 14:1	And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
Luke 14:2	And behold, there was before him a certain man who had the dropsy.
Luke 14:3	And Yeshua answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?
Luke 14:4	But they were silent. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Luke 14:5	And he said to them, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a well, and will not immediately draw him up on a sabbath day?
Luke 14:6	And they could not reply to these things.
Luke 14:7	And he spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose out the chief seats; saying to them,
Luke 14:8	When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit down in the chief seat; lest perhaps a more honorable man than you be invited by him,
Luke 14:9	and he who invited you and him shall come and say to you, Give this man place; and then you shall begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Luke 14:10	But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher: then you shall have glory in the presence of all who recline at table with you.
Luke 14:11	For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled; and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
Luke 14:12	And he said to him also who had invited him, When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors; lest perhaps they also invite you in return, and a recompense be made to you.
Luke 14:13	But when you make a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luke 14:14	and you shall be blessed; because they have nothing with which to recompense you: for you shall be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14:15	And when one of those who reclined at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Luke 14:16	But he said to him, A certain man made a great supper; and he invited many:
Luke 14:17	and he sent out his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, Come; for all things are now ready.
Luke 14:18	And they all with one consent began to make excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it; please have me excused.
Luke 14:19	And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them; please have me excused.
Luke 14:20	And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Luke 14:21	And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and maimed and blind and lame.
Luke 14:22	And the servant said, Lord, what you commanded is done, and yet there is room.
Luke 14:23	And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:24	For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.
Luke 14:25	Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said to them,
Luke 14:26	If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27	Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:28	For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
Luke 14:29	Lest perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
Luke 14:30	saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Luke 14:31	Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
Luke 14:32	Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation, and asks conditions of peace.
Luke 14:33	So therefore whoever of you does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:34	Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt has lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?
Luke 14:35	It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke 15:1	Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him to hear him.
Luke 15:2	And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
Luke 15:3	And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
Luke 15:4	What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he finds it?
Luke 15:5	And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke 15:6	And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Luke 15:7	I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
Luke 15:8	Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
Luke 15:9	And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Luke 15:10	Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
Luke 15:11	And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Luke 15:12	and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of your substance that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
Luke 15:13	And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with reckless living.
Luke 15:14	And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Luke 15:15	And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Luke 15:16	And he would gladly have filled his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no one gave to him.
Luke 15:17	But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
Luke 15:18	I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight:
Luke 15:19	I am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
Luke 15:20	And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Luke 15:21	And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight: I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
Luke 15:22	But the father said to his servants, Bring out quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Luke 15:23	and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:
Luke 15:24	for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Luke 15:25	Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Luke 15:26	And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.
Luke 15:27	And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.
Luke 15:28	But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and pleaded with him.
Luke 15:29	But he answered and said to his father, Look, these many years I have served you, and I never transgressed a commandment of yours; and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Luke 15:30	but when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fatted calf.
Luke 15:31	And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Luke 15:32	But it was fitting to make merry and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Luke 16:1	And he said also to the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and this man was accused to him that he was wasting his goods.
Luke 16:2	And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of you? give the account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward.
Luke 16:3	And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I do not have strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Luke 16:4	I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Luke 16:5	And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
Luke 16:6	And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
Luke 16:7	Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your bond, and write eighty.
Luke 16:8	And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.
Luke 16:9	And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.
Luke 16:10	He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he who is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
Luke 16:11	If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luke 16:12	And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Luke 16:13	No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke 16:14	And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
Luke 16:15	And he said to them, You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Luke 16:16	The Torah and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone enters violently into it.
Luke 16:17	But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Torah to fall.
Luke 16:18	Everyone who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and he who marries one who is put away from a husband commits adultery.
Luke 16:19	Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
Luke 16:20	and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luke 16:21	and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luke 16:22	And it happened, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
Luke 16:23	And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:24	And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.
Luke 16:25	But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.
Luke 16:26	And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.
Luke 16:27	And he said, I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
Luke 16:28	for I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:29	But Abraham says, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luke 16:30	And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.
Luke 16:31	And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rises from the dead.
Luke 17:1	And he said to his disciples, It is impossible that occasions of stumbling should not come; but woe to him, through whom they come!
Luke 17:2	It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Luke 17:3	Take heed to yourselves: if your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
Luke 17:4	And if he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times turns again to you, saying, I repent; you shall forgive him.
Luke 17:5	And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.
Luke 17:6	And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say to this sycamine tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
Luke 17:7	But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say to him, when he has come in from the field, Come immediately and recline at table;
Luke 17:8	and will not rather say to him, Prepare what I may eat for supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, until I have eaten and drunk; and afterward you shall eat and drink?
Luke 17:9	Does he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?
Luke 17:10	Even so you also, when you shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.
Luke 17:11	And it happened, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee.
Luke 17:12	And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men who were lepers, who stood far off:
Luke 17:13	and they lifted up their voices, saying, Yeshua, Master, have mercy on us.
Luke 17:14	And when he saw them, he said to them, Go and show yourselves to the priests. And it happened, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:15	And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;
Luke 17:16	and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:17	And Yeshua answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
Luke 17:18	Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this stranger?
Luke 17:19	And he said to him, Arise, and go your way: your faith has made you whole.
Luke 17:20	And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation:
Luke 17:21	nor shall they say, Look, here! or, There! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17:22	And he said to the disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it.
Luke 17:23	And they shall say to you, Look, there! Look, here! do not go away, nor follow after them:
Luke 17:24	for as the lightning, when it flashes out of the one part under the heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.
Luke 17:25	But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Luke 17:26	And as it happened in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luke 17:27	They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28	Likewise even as it happened in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
Luke 17:29	but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
Luke 17:30	after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
Luke 17:31	In that day, he who shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him who is in the field likewise not return back.
Luke 17:32	Remember Lot’s wife.
Luke 17:33	Whoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luke 17:34	I say to you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luke 17:35	There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luke 17:36	
Luke 17:37	And they answering say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the eagles will also be gathered together.
Luke 18:1	And he spoke a parable to them to the effect that they ought always to pray, and not lose heart;
Luke 18:2	saying, There was in a city a judge, who did not fear God, and did not regard man:
Luke 18:3	and there was a widow in that city; and she came often to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
Luke 18:4	And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I do not fear God, nor regard man;
Luke 18:5	yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.
Luke 18:6	And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
Luke 18:7	And shall not God avenge his elect, who cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?
Luke 18:8	I say to you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, shall he find faith on the earth?
Luke 18:9	And he spoke also this parable to certain ones who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated all others with contempt:
Luke 18:10	Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
Luke 18:11	The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank you, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
Luke 18:12	I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get.
Luke 18:13	But the tax collector, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but struck his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner.
Luke 18:14	I say to you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled; but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
Luke 18:15	And they were bringing to him also their babies, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Luke 18:16	But Yeshua called them to him, saying, Allow the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them: for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
Luke 18:17	Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall by no means enter into it.
Luke 18:18	And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke 18:19	And Yeshua said to him, Why do you call me good? no one is good, except one, even God.
Luke 18:20	You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.
Luke 18:21	And he said, All these things I have observed from my youth up.
Luke 18:22	And when Yeshua heard it, he said to him, One thing you still lack: sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Luke 18:23	But when he heard these things, he became exceedingly sorrowful; for he was very rich.
Luke 18:24	And Yeshua seeing him said, How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Luke 18:25	For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Luke 18:26	And those who heard it said, Then who can be saved?
Luke 18:27	But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Luke 18:28	And Peter said, Look, we have left our own, and followed you.
Luke 18:29	And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
Luke 18:30	who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
Luke 18:31	And he took to him the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished to the Son of man.
Luke 18:32	For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:
Luke 18:33	and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Luke 18:34	And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not perceive the things that were said.
Luke 18:35	And it happened, as he drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging:
Luke 18:36	and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant.
Luke 18:37	And they told him, that Yeshua of Nazareth passes by.
Luke 18:38	And he cried, saying, Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke 18:39	And those who went before rebuked him, that he should be silent: but he cried out all the more, You son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke 18:40	And Yeshua stood, and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
Luke 18:41	What do you want me to do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
Luke 18:42	And Yeshua said to him, Receive your sight: your faith has made you whole.
Luke 18:43	And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
Luke 19:1	And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
Luke 19:2	And behold, a man called by name Zacchæus; and he was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
Luke 19:3	And he sought to see Yeshua who he was; and could not because of the crowd, because he was small of stature.
Luke 19:4	And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Luke 19:5	And when Yeshua came to the place, he looked up, and said to him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at your house.
Luke 19:6	And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Luke 19:7	And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.
Luke 19:8	And Zacchæus stood, and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted anything from anyone, I restore fourfold.
Luke 19:9	And Yeshua said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.
Luke 19:10	For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke 19:11	And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
Luke 19:12	He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luke 19:13	And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Trade with this until I come.
Luke 19:14	But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not want this man to reign over us.
Luke 19:15	And it happened, when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
Luke 19:16	And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.
Luke 19:17	And he said to him, Well done, you good servant: because you were found faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.
Luke 19:18	And the second came, saying, Your pound, Lord, has made five pounds.
Luke 19:19	And he said to him also, You also be over five cities.
Luke 19:20	And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I kept laid up in a cloth:
Luke 19:21	for I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.
Luke 19:22	He says to him, Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
Luke 19:23	then why did you not put my money into the bank, and I at my coming would have required it with interest?
Luke 19:24	And he said to those who stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it to him who has the ten pounds.
Luke 19:25	And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.
Luke 19:26	I say to you, that to everyone who has shall be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.
Luke 19:27	But these my enemies, who did not want me to reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
Luke 19:28	And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
Luke 19:29	And it happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
Luke 19:30	saying, Go your way into the village opposite you; in which as you enter you shall find a colt tied, on which no one ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
Luke 19:31	And if anyone asks you, Why do you loose him? thus you shall say, The Lord has need of him.
Luke 19:32	And those who were sent went away, and found even as he had said to them.
Luke 19:33	And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why are you loosing the colt?
Luke 19:34	And they said, The Lord has need of him.
Luke 19:35	And they brought him to Yeshua: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Yeshua on it.
Luke 19:36	And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
Luke 19:37	And as he was now drawing near, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
Luke 19:38	saying, Blessed is the King who comes in the name of Yehovah: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke 19:39	And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples.
Luke 19:40	And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
Luke 19:41	And when he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
Luke 19:42	saying, If you had known in this day, even you, the things which belong to peace! but now they are hidden from your eyes.
Luke 19:43	For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies shall cast up a bank around you, and surround you, and keep you in on every side,
Luke 19:44	and shall dash you to the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone upon another; because you did not know the time of your visitation.
Luke 19:45	And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold,
Luke 19:46	saying to them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but you have made it a den of robbers.
Luke 19:47	And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
Luke 19:48	and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
Luke 20:1	And it happened, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
Luke 20:2	and they spoke, saying to him, Tell us: By what authority do you do these things? or who is he who gave you this authority?
Luke 20:3	And he answered and said to them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
Luke 20:4	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
Luke 20:5	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not believe him?
Luke 20:6	But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Luke 20:7	And they answered, that they did not know where it was from.
Luke 20:8	And Yeshua said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Luke 20:9	And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into another country for a long time.
Luke 20:10	And at the season he sent to the vinedressers a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty.
Luke 20:11	And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
Luke 20:12	And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him out.
Luke 20:13	And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
Luke 20:14	But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
Luke 20:15	And they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Luke 20:16	He will come and destroy these vinedressers, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
Luke 20:17	But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
Luke 20:18	Everyone who falls on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
Luke 20:19	And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spoke this parable against them.
Luke 20:20	And they watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
Luke 20:21	And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and do not accept the person of any, but truly teach the way of God:
Luke 20:22	Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
Luke 20:23	But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
Luke 20:24	Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And they said, Cæsar’s.
Luke 20:25	And he said to them, Then render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
Luke 20:26	And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and were silent.
Luke 20:27	And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection;
Luke 20:28	and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Luke 20:29	There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
Luke 20:30	and the second:
Luke 20:31	and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
Luke 20:32	Afterward the woman also died.
Luke 20:33	In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her as wife.
Luke 20:34	And Yeshua said to them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luke 20:35	but those who are counted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luke 20:36	for neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Luke 20:37	But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when he calls Yehovah the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Luke 20:38	Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Luke 20:39	And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, you have well said.
Luke 20:40	For they did not dare to ask him any question any more.
Luke 20:41	And he said to them, How do they say that the Messiah is David’s son?
Luke 20:42	For David himself says in the book of Psalms, Yehovah said to my lord, Sit on my right hand,
Luke 20:43	Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.
Luke 20:44	David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
Luke 20:45	And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
Luke 20:46	Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
Luke 20:47	who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
Luke 21:1	And he looked up, and saw the rich men who were casting their gifts into the treasury.
Luke 21:2	And he saw a certain poor widow casting in there two mites.
Luke 21:3	And he said, Truly I say to you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:
Luke 21:4	for all these out of their abundance cast in to the gifts; but she out of her poverty cast in all the living that she had.
Luke 21:5	And as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and offerings, he said,
Luke 21:6	As for these things which you behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Luke 21:7	And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?
Luke 21:8	And he said, Take heed that you are not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is at hand: do not go after them.
Luke 21:9	And when you shall hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified: for these things must come to pass first; but the end is not immediately.
Luke 21:10	Then he said to them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
Luke 21:11	and there shall be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven.
Luke 21:12	But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
Luke 21:13	It shall turn out to you for a testimony.
Luke 21:14	Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:
Luke 21:15	for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to contradict.
Luke 21:16	But you shall be delivered up even by parents, and brothers, and relatives, and friends; and some of you they shall cause to be put to death.
Luke 21:17	And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
Luke 21:18	And not a hair of your head shall perish.
Luke 21:19	In your patience you shall win your souls.
Luke 21:20	But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
Luke 21:21	Then let those who are in Judæa flee to the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of her depart out; and let not those who are in the country enter into it.
Luke 21:22	For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luke 21:23	Woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
Luke 21:24	And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Luke 21:25	And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;
Luke 21:26	men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Luke 21:27	And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 21:28	But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draws near.
Luke 21:29	And he spoke to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:
Luke 21:30	when they now shoot forth, you see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now near.
Luke 21:31	Even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Luke 21:32	Truly I say to you, This generation shall not pass away, until all things are accomplished.
Luke 21:33	Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luke 21:34	But take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:
Luke 21:35	for so shall it come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.
Luke 21:36	But watch at every season, making supplication, that you may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke 21:37	And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.
Luke 21:38	And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.
Luke 22:1	Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
Luke 22:2	And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people.
Luke 22:3	And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luke 22:4	And he went away, and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him to them.
Luke 22:5	And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.
Luke 22:6	And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
Luke 22:7	And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed.
Luke 22:8	And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat.
Luke 22:9	And they said to him, Where do you want us to make ready?
Luke 22:10	And he said to them, Behold, when you have entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house into which he goes.
Luke 22:11	And you shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Luke 22:12	And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
Luke 22:13	And they went, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke 22:14	And when the hour had come, he sat down, and the apostles with him.
Luke 22:15	And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Luke 22:16	for I say to you, I shall not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luke 22:17	And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
Luke 22:18	for I say to you, I shall not drink from now on of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luke 22:19	And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.
Luke 22:20	And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.
Luke 22:21	But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
Luke 22:22	For the Son of man indeed goes, as it has been determined: but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!
Luke 22:23	And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
Luke 22:24	And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was considered to be greatest.
Luke 22:25	And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and those who have authority over them are called Benefactors.
Luke 22:26	But you shall not be so: but he who is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he who is chief, as he who serves.
Luke 22:27	For which is greater, he who reclines at table, or he who serves? is it not he who reclines at table? but I am in the midst of you as he who serves.
Luke 22:28	But you are those who have continued with me in my temptations;
Luke 22:29	and I appoint to you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed to me,
Luke 22:30	that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and you shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luke 22:31	Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:
Luke 22:32	but I made supplication for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.
Luke 22:33	And he said to him, Lord, with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.
Luke 22:34	And he said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day, until you shall deny three times that you know me.
Luke 22:35	And he said to them, When I sent you out without purse, and bag, and shoes, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.
Luke 22:36	And he said to them, But now, he who has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he who has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.
Luke 22:37	For I say to you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with the lawless: for that which concerns me has fulfillment.
Luke 22:38	And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.
Luke 22:39	And he came out, and went, as his custom was, to the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.
Luke 22:40	And when he was at the place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation.
Luke 22:41	And he was parted from them about a stone’s throw; and he knelt down and prayed,
Luke 22:42	saying, Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done.
Luke 22:43	And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
Luke 22:44	And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
Luke 22:45	And when he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,
Luke 22:46	and said to them, Why do you sleep? rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.
Luke 22:47	While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near to Yeshua to kiss him.
Luke 22:48	But Yeshua said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?
Luke 22:49	And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?
Luke 22:50	And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Luke 22:51	But Yeshua answered and said, Allow them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Luke 22:52	And Yeshua said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
Luke 22:53	When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Luke 22:54	And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed far off.
Luke 22:55	And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
Luke 22:56	And a certain servant girl seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking steadfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.
Luke 22:57	But he denied, saying, Woman, I do not know him.
Luke 22:58	And after a little while another saw him, and said, You also are one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.
Luke 22:59	And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Truly this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan.
Luke 22:60	But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.
Luke 22:61	And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before the rooster crows this day you shall deny me three times.
Luke 22:62	And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Luke 22:63	And the men who held Yeshua mocked him, and beat him.
Luke 22:64	And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he who struck you?
Luke 22:65	And many other things they spoke against him, reviling him.
Luke 22:66	And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,
Luke 22:67	If you are the Messiah, tell us. But he said to them, If I tell you, you will not believe:
Luke 22:68	and if I ask you, you will not answer.
Luke 22:69	But from now on the Son of man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.
Luke 22:70	And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? And he said to them, You say that I am.
Luke 22:71	And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.
Luke 23:1	And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate.
Luke 23:2	And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Messiah a king.
Luke 23:3	And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say.
Luke 23:4	And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man.
Luke 23:5	But they were all the more urgent, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even to this place.
Luke 23:6	But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilæan.
Luke 23:7	And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
Luke 23:8	Now when Herod saw Yeshua, he was exceedingly glad: for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
Luke 23:9	And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
Luke 23:10	And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.
Luke 23:11	And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.
Luke 23:12	And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke 23:13	And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Luke 23:14	and said to them, You brought to me this man, as one who perverts the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him:
Luke 23:15	no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back to us; and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Luke 23:16	I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
Luke 23:17	
Luke 23:18	But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas:—
Luke 23:19	one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.
Luke 23:20	And Pilate spoke to them again, desiring to release Yeshua;
Luke 23:21	but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him.
Luke 23:22	And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil has this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him.
Luke 23:23	But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed.
Luke 23:24	And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done.
Luke 23:25	And he released him who for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Yeshua he delivered up to their will.
Luke 23:26	And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Yeshua.
Luke 23:27	And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.
Luke 23:28	But Yeshua turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Luke 23:29	For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.
Luke 23:30	Then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Luke 23:31	For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Luke 23:32	And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Luke 23:33	And when they came to the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left.
Luke 23:34	And Yeshua said, Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots.
Luke 23:35	And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Messiah of God, his chosen.
Luke 23:36	And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,
Luke 23:37	and saying, If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.
Luke 23:38	And there was also an inscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke 23:39	And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed at him, saying, Are you not the Messiah? save yourself and us.
Luke 23:40	But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Do you not even fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?
Luke 23:41	And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing wrong.
Luke 23:42	And he said, Yeshua, remember me when you come in your kingdom.
Luke 23:43	And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with me in Paradise.
Luke 23:44	And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,
Luke 23:45	the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was torn in the midst.
Luke 23:46	And Yeshua, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he breathed his last.
Luke 23:47	And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
Luke 23:48	And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts.
Luke 23:49	And all his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood far off, seeing these things.
Luke 23:50	And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councilor, a good and righteous man
Luke 23:51	(he had not consented to their counsel and deed), a man of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:
Luke 23:52	this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Yeshua.
Luke 23:53	And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where no one had ever yet lain.
Luke 23:54	And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Luke 23:55	And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.
Luke 23:56	And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
Luke 24:1	But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
Luke 24:2	And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
Luke 24:3	And they entered in, and did not find the body of the Lord Yeshua.
Luke 24:4	And it happened, while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:
Luke 24:5	and as they were frightened and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead?
Luke 24:6	He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,
Luke 24:7	saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Luke 24:8	And they remembered his words,
Luke 24:9	and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
Luke 24:10	Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things to the apostles.
Luke 24:11	And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.
Luke 24:12	But Peter arose, and ran to the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he sees the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which had come to pass.
Luke 24:13	And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:14	And they talked with each other of all these things which had happened.
Luke 24:15	And it happened, while they talked and questioned together, that Yeshua himself drew near, and went with them.
Luke 24:16	But their eyes were held so that they should not know him.
Luke 24:17	And he said to them, What words are these that you exchange with one another, as you walk? And they stood still, looking sad.
Luke 24:18	And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said to him, Are you the only one sojourning in Jerusalem who does not know the things which have come to pass there in these days?
Luke 24:19	And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Yeshua the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
Luke 24:20	and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
Luke 24:21	But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.
Luke 24:22	Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;
Luke 24:23	and when they did not find his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
Luke 24:24	And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they did not see.
Luke 24:25	And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
Luke 24:26	Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27	And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke 24:28	And they drew near to the village, where they were going: and he acted as though he would go further.
Luke 24:29	And they urged him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them.
Luke 24:30	And it happened, when he had reclined at table with them, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.
Luke 24:31	And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Luke 24:32	And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spoke to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
Luke 24:33	And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
Luke 24:34	saying, The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.
Luke 24:35	And they related the things that happened in the way, and how he was known by them in the breaking of the bread.
Luke 24:36	And as they spoke these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, Peace be to you.
Luke 24:37	But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit.
Luke 24:38	And he said to them, Why are you troubled? and why do questionings arise in your heart?
Luke 24:39	See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see me having.
Luke 24:40	And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Luke 24:41	And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Do you have anything here to eat?
Luke 24:42	And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish.
Luke 24:43	And he took it, and ate before them.
Luke 24:44	And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the Torah of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.
Luke 24:45	Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;
Luke 24:46	and he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Messiah should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;
Luke 24:47	and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:48	You are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:49	And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high.
Luke 24:50	And he led them out until they were opposite Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Luke 24:51	And it happened, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.
Luke 24:52	And they bowed down before him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
Luke 24:53	and were continually in the temple, blessing God.
John 1:1	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and what God was, the Word was.
John 1:2	He was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3	All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that has been made.
John 1:4	In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5	And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness did not apprehend it.
John 1:6	There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7	This man came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
John 1:8	He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light.
John 1:9	There was the true light, even the light which lights every man, coming into the world.
John 1:10	He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
John 1:11	He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
John 1:12	But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those believing in his name:
John 1:13	who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14	And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
John 1:15	John bears witness of him, and cries out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me has become before me: for he was before me.
John 1:16	For of his fullness we all received, and grace for grace.
John 1:17	For the Torah was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Yeshua Messiah.
John 1:18	No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten, being what God is, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
John 1:19	And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who are you?
John 1:20	And he confessed, and did not deny; and he confessed, I am not the Messiah.
John 1:21	And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered, No.
John 1:22	Therefore they said to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say of yourself?
John 1:23	He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of Yehovah, as Isaiah the prophet said.
John 1:24	And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
John 1:25	And they asked him, and said to him, Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
John 1:26	John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you stands one whom you do not know,
John 1:27	even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.
John 1:28	These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
John 1:29	The next day he sees Yeshua coming to him, and says, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:30	This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me: for he was before me.
John 1:31	And I did not know him; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I came baptizing in water.
John 1:32	And John bore witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it remained on him.
John 1:33	And I did not know him: but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, On whomever you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.
John 1:34	And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
John 1:35	Again the next day John was standing, and two of his disciples;
John 1:36	and he looked at Yeshua as he walked, and says, Behold, the Lamb of God!
John 1:37	And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Yeshua.
John 1:38	And Yeshua turned, and beheld them following, and says to them, What do you seek? And they said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where are you staying?
John 1:39	He says to them, Come, and you shall see. They came therefore and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
John 1:40	One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
John 1:41	He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Messiah).
John 1:42	He brought him to Yeshua. Yeshua looked at him, and said, You are Simon the son of John: you shall be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
John 1:43	The next day he decided to go out into Galilee, and he finds Philip: and Yeshua says to him, Follow me.
John 1:44	Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
John 1:45	Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the Torah, and the prophets, wrote, Yeshua of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
John 1:46	And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.
John 1:47	Yeshua saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John 1:48	Nathanael says to him, From where do you know me? Yeshua answered and said to him, Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
John 1:49	Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are King of Israel.
John 1:50	Yeshua answered and said to him, Because I said to you, I saw you underneath the fig tree, do you believe? you shall see greater things than these.
John 1:51	And he says to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, You shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man.
John 2:1	And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Yeshua was there:
John 2:2	and Yeshua also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
John 2:3	And when the wine failed, the mother of Yeshua says to him, They have no wine.
John 2:4	And Yeshua says to her, Woman, what have I to do with you? my hour has not yet come.
John 2:5	His mother says to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do it.
John 2:6	Now there were six waterpots of stone set there according to the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
John 2:7	Yeshua says to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
John 2:8	And he says to them, Draw some out now, and take it to the ruler of the feast. And they took it.
John 2:9	And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calls the bridegroom,
John 2:10	and says to him, Every man sets out the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: you have kept the good wine until now.
John 2:11	This beginning of his signs Yeshua did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
John 2:12	After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they did not stay there many days.
John 2:13	And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
John 2:14	And he found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sitting:
John 2:15	and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;
John 2:16	and to those who sold the doves he said, Take these things from here; do not make my Father’s house a house of merchandise.
John 2:17	His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for your house shall eat me up.
John 2:18	The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?
John 2:19	Yeshua answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
John 2:20	The Jews therefore said, Forty-six years this temple was in building, and will you raise it up in three days?
John 2:21	But he spoke of the temple of his body.
John 2:22	When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spoke this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Yeshua had said.
John 2:23	Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs which he did.
John 2:24	But Yeshua did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,
John 2:25	and because he did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
John 3:1	Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2	This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him.
John 3:3	Yeshua answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4	Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
John 3:5	Yeshua answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:6	That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7	Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born anew.
John 3:8	The wind blows where it will, and you hear its voice, but do not know where it comes from, and where it goes: so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
John 3:9	Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be?
John 3:10	Yeshua answered and said to him, Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?
John 3:11	Truly, truly, I say to you, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and you do not receive our witness.
John 3:12	If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John 3:13	And no one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven.
John 3:14	And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;
John 3:15	that everyone believing may in him have eternal life.
John 3:16	For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that everyone believing in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:17	For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.
John 3:18	The one believing in him is not judged: the one not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19	And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
John 3:20	For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his works should be reproved.
John 3:21	But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been carried out in God.
John 3:22	After these things Yeshua and his disciples came into the land of Judæa; and there he remained with them, and baptized.
John 3:23	And John also was baptizing in Ænon near Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
John 3:24	For John had not yet been cast into prison.
John 3:25	There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.
John 3:26	And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, behold, he baptizes, and all men come to him.
John 3:27	John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from heaven.
John 3:28	You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but, that I am sent before him.
John 3:29	He who has the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: therefore this joy of mine is made full.
John 3:30	He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:31	He who comes from above is above all: he who is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks: he who comes from heaven is above all.
John 3:32	What he has seen and heard, of that he bears witness; and no man receives his witness.
John 3:33	He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
John 3:34	For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God: for he does not give the Spirit by measure.
John 3:35	The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
John 3:36	The one believing in the Son has eternal life; but the one disobeying the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
John 4:1	When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Yeshua was making and baptizing more disciples than John
John 4:2	(although Yeshua himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
John 4:3	he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
John 4:4	And he had to pass through Samaria.
John 4:5	So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
John 4:6	and Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being wearied from his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John 4:7	There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Yeshua says to her, Give me a drink.
John 4:8	For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
John 4:9	The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
John 4:10	Yeshua answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
John 4:11	The woman says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then do you get that living water?
John 4:12	Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
John 4:13	Yeshua answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again:
John 4:14	but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.
John 4:15	The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come all the way here to draw.
John 4:16	Yeshua says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
John 4:17	The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Yeshua says to her, You said well, I have no husband:
John 4:18	for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly.
John 4:19	The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
John 4:20	Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21	Yeshua says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you worship the Father.
John 4:22	You worship that which you do not know: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
John 4:23	But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
John 4:24	God is a Spirit: and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
John 4:25	The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes (he who is called Messiah): when he has come, he will declare to us all things.
John 4:26	Yeshua says to her, I who speak to you am he.
John 4:27	And at this his disciples came; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What do you seek? or, Why do you speak with her?
John 4:28	So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the people,
John 4:29	Come, see a man who told me all things that I ever did: can this be the Messiah?
John 4:30	They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
John 4:31	Meanwhile the disciples urged him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
John 4:32	But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know.
John 4:33	The disciples therefore said one to another, Has anyone brought him anything to eat?
John 4:34	Yeshua says to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
John 4:35	Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already to harvest.
John 4:36	He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal; that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
John 4:37	For in this the saying is true, One sows, and another reaps.
John 4:38	I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
John 4:39	And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that I ever did.
John 4:40	So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them: and he stayed there two days.
John 4:41	And many more believed because of his word;
John 4:42	and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.
John 4:43	And after the two days he went out from there into Galilee.
John 4:44	For Yeshua himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
John 4:45	So when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
John 4:46	He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
John 4:47	When he heard that Yeshua had come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
John 4:48	Yeshua therefore said to him, Unless you see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.
John 4:49	The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
John 4:50	Yeshua says to him, Go your way; your son lives. The man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him, and he went his way.
John 4:51	And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
John 4:52	So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
John 4:53	So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua said to him, Your son lives: and he himself believed, and his whole house.
John 4:54	This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee.
John 5:1	After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Yeshua went up to Jerusalem.
John 5:2	Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
John 5:3	In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, withered.
John 5:4	
John 5:5	And a certain man was there, who had been thirty-eight years in his infirmity.
John 5:6	When Yeshua saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that condition, he says to him, Do you want to be made whole?
John 5:7	The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steps down before me.
John 5:8	Yeshua says to him, Arise, take up your bed, and walk.
John 5:9	And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.
John 5:10	So the Jews said to him who was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.
John 5:11	But he answered them, He who made me whole, he said to me, Take up your bed, and walk.
John 5:12	They asked him, Who is the man who said to you, Take up your bed, and walk?
John 5:13	But he who was healed did not know who it was; for Yeshua had withdrawn, a multitude being in the place.
John 5:14	Afterward Yeshua finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest something worse happen to you.
John 5:15	The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Yeshua who had made him whole.
John 5:16	And for this reason the Jews persecuted Yeshua, because he did these things on the sabbath.
John 5:17	But Yeshua answered them, My Father works even until now, and I work.
John 5:18	For this reason therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John 5:19	Yeshua therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing: for whatever things he does, these the Son also does in like manner.
John 5:20	For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does: and greater works than these he will show him, that you may marvel.
John 5:21	For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he will.
John 5:22	For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son;
John 5:23	that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
John 5:24	Truly, truly, I say to you, The one hearing my word, and believing him who sent me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John 5:25	Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live.
John 5:26	For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself:
John 5:27	and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
John 5:28	Do not marvel at this: for the hour comes, in which all who are in the tombs shall hear his voice,
John 5:29	and shall come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
John 5:30	I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
John 5:31	If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
John 5:32	It is another who bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true.
John 5:33	You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
John 5:34	But the witness which I receive is not from man: however, I say these things, that you may be saved.
John 5:35	He was the lamp that burns and shines; and you were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
John 5:36	But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.
John 5:37	And the Father who sent me, he has borne witness of me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
John 5:38	And you do not have his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him you do not believe.
John 5:39	You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;
John 5:40	and you will not come to me, that you may have life.
John 5:41	I do not receive glory from men.
John 5:42	But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
John 5:43	I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me: if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.
John 5:44	How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and the glory that comes from the only God you do not seek?
John 5:45	Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
John 5:46	For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me.
John 5:47	But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe my words?
John 6:1	After these things Yeshua went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
John 6:2	And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on those who were sick.
John 6:3	And Yeshua went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
John 6:4	Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
John 6:5	Yeshua therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude comes to him, says to Philip, From where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?
John 6:6	And this he said to test him: for he himself knew what he would do.
John 6:7	Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone may take a little.
John 6:8	One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, says to him,
John 6:9	There is a boy here, who has five barley loaves, and two fish: but what are these among so many?
John 6:10	Yeshua said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
John 6:11	Yeshua therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.
John 6:12	And when they were filled, he says to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, that nothing may be lost.
John 6:13	So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
John 6:14	When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is truly the prophet who comes into the world.
John 6:15	Yeshua therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain by himself.
John 6:16	And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea;
John 6:17	and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Yeshua had not yet come to them.
John 6:18	And the sea was rising because a great wind was blowing.
John 6:19	When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Yeshua walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat: and they were afraid.
John 6:20	But he says to them, It is I; do not be afraid.
John 6:21	They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
John 6:22	The next day the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except one, and that Yeshua had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone
John 6:23	(however, there came boats from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):
John 6:24	when the multitude therefore saw that Yeshua was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Yeshua.
John 6:25	And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did you come here?
John 6:26	Yeshua answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.
John 6:27	Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides to eternal life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him the Father, even God, has sealed.
John 6:28	They said therefore to him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
John 6:29	Yeshua answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.
John 6:30	They said therefore to him, What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? what work do you do?
John 6:31	Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.
John 6:32	Yeshua therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.
John 6:33	For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.
John 6:34	They said therefore to him, Lord, give us this bread always.
John 6:35	Yeshua said to them, I am the bread of life: the one coming to me shall not hunger, and the one believing in me shall never thirst.
John 6:36	But I said to you, that you have seen me, and yet do not believe.
John 6:37	All that which the Father gives me shall come to me; and him who comes to me I will by no means cast out.
John 6:38	For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
John 6:39	And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all that which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
John 6:40	For this is the will of my Father, that everyone beholding the Son, and believing in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:41	The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven.
John 6:42	And they said, Is not this Yeshua, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how does he now say, I have come down out of heaven?
John 6:43	Yeshua answered and said to them, Do not murmur among yourselves.
John 6:44	No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me draws him: and I will raise him up in the last day.
John 6:45	It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Everyone who has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.
John 6:46	Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God, he has seen the Father.
John 6:47	Truly, truly, I say to you, The one believing has eternal life.
John 6:48	I am the bread of life.
John 6:49	Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
John 6:50	This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die.
John 6:51	I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eats of this bread, he shall live forever: and indeed the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
John 6:52	The Jews therefore disputed with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John 6:53	Yeshua therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves.
John 6:54	He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:55	For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
John 6:56	He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
John 6:57	As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who eats me, he also shall live because of me.
John 6:58	This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he who eats this bread shall live forever.
John 6:59	These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
John 6:60	Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
John 6:61	But Yeshua, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, Does this cause you to stumble?
John 6:62	What then if you should behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before?
John 6:63	It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.
John 6:64	But there are some of you who are not believing. For Yeshua knew from the beginning who they were who were not believing, and who it was who would betray him.
John 6:65	And he said, For this reason I have said to you, that no man can come to me, unless it is given to him by the Father.
John 6:66	After this many of his disciples went back, and no longer walked with him.
John 6:67	Yeshua said therefore to the twelve, Do you also want to go away?
John 6:68	Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life.
John 6:69	And we have believed and know that you are the Holy One of God.
John 6:70	Yeshua answered them, Did I not choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?
John 6:71	Now he spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
John 7:1	And after these things Yeshua walked in Galilee: for he did not want to walk in Judæa, because the Jews sought to kill him.
John 7:2	Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
John 7:3	His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judæa, that your disciples also may behold your works which you do.
John 7:4	For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.
John 7:5	For not even his brothers believed in him.
John 7:6	Yeshua therefore says to them, My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.
John 7:7	The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
John 7:8	Go up to the feast: I am not going up to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
John 7:9	And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
John 7:10	But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
John 7:11	The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
John 7:12	And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.
John 7:13	Yet no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
John 7:14	But when it was now the midst of the feast Yeshua went up into the temple, and taught.
John 7:15	The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned?
John 7:16	Yeshua therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
John 7:17	If any man wills to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.
John 7:18	He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, he is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John 7:19	Did not Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you does the Torah? Why do you seek to kill me?
John 7:20	The multitude answered, You have a demon: who seeks to kill you?
John 7:21	Yeshua answered and said to them, I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
John 7:22	Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath you circumcise a man.
John 7:23	If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the Torah of Moses may not be broken; are you angry with me, because I made a man entirely whole on the sabbath?
John 7:24	Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
John 7:25	Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
John 7:26	And look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Messiah?
John 7:27	However, we know this man, where he is from: but when the Messiah comes, no one knows where he is from.
John 7:28	Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You both know me, and know where I am from; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
John 7:29	I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
John 7:30	They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
John 7:31	But of the multitude many believed in him; and they said, When the Messiah comes, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?
John 7:32	The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
John 7:33	Yeshua therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him who sent me.
John 7:34	You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, you cannot come.
John 7:35	The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
John 7:36	What is this word that he said, You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?
John 7:37	Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Yeshua stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
John 7:38	The one believing in me, as the scripture has said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:39	But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet given; because Yeshua was not yet glorified.
John 7:40	Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is truly the prophet.
John 7:41	Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee?
John 7:42	Has not the scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
John 7:43	So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
John 7:44	And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
John 7:45	The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why did you not bring him?
John 7:46	The officers answered, Never did a man speak like this.
John 7:47	The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are you also led astray?
John 7:48	Has any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
John 7:49	But this multitude that does not know the Torah is accursed.
John 7:50	Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him before, being one of them),
John 7:51	Does our Torah judge a man, unless it first hears from him and knows what he does?
John 7:52	They answered and said to him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
John 7:53	[And they went every man to his own house:
John 8:1	but Yeshua went to the mount of Olives.
John 8:2	And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.
John 8:3	And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
John 8:4	they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in adultery, in the very act.
John 8:5	Now in the Torah Moses commanded us to stone such: what then do you say of her?
John 8:6	And this they said, testing him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Yeshua stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
John 8:7	But when they continued asking him, he raised himself up, and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
John 8:8	And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
John 8:9	And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even to the last: and Yeshua was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
John 8:10	And Yeshua raised himself up, and said to her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn you?
John 8:11	And she said, No man, Lord. And Yeshua said, Neither do I condemn you: go your way; from now on sin no more.]
John 8:12	Again therefore Yeshua spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 8:13	The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bear witness of yourself; your witness is not true.
John 8:14	Yeshua answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, or where I am going.
John 8:15	You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
John 8:16	And even if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
John 8:17	And indeed in your Torah it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
John 8:18	I am he who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.
John 8:19	They said therefore to him, Where is your Father? Yeshua answered, You know neither me, nor my Father: if you knew me, you would know my Father also.
John 8:20	These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour had not yet come.
John 8:21	He said therefore again to them, I go away, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go, you cannot come.
John 8:22	The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, you cannot come?
John 8:23	And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:24	I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins: for unless you believe that I am he, you shall die in your sins.
John 8:25	They said therefore to him, Who are you? Yeshua said to them, Even that which I have also spoken to you from the beginning.
John 8:26	I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: however, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world.
John 8:27	They did not perceive that he spoke to them of the Father.
John 8:28	Yeshua therefore said, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.
John 8:29	And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.
John 8:30	As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
John 8:31	Yeshua therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, If you abide in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
John 8:32	and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:33	They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how do you say, You shall be made free?
John 8:34	Yeshua answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
John 8:35	And the bondservant does not abide in the house forever: the son abides forever.
John 8:36	If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
John 8:37	I know that you are Abraham’s seed; yet you seek to kill me, because my word has no free course in you.
John 8:38	I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and you also do the things which you heard from your father.
John 8:39	They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Yeshua says to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
John 8:40	But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God: this Abraham did not do.
John 8:41	You do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:42	Yeshua said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came forth and have come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
John 8:43	Why do you not understand my speech? It is because you cannot hear my word.
John 8:44	You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:45	But because I say the truth, you do not believe me.
John 8:46	Which of you convicts me of sin? If I say truth, why do you not believe me?
John 8:47	He who is of God hears the words of God: for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.
John 8:48	The Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
John 8:49	Yeshua answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
John 8:50	But I do not seek my own glory: there is one who seeks and judges.
John 8:51	Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keeps my word, he shall never see death.
John 8:52	The Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my word, he shall never taste of death.
John 8:53	Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
John 8:54	Yeshua answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me; of whom you say, that he is your God;
John 8:55	and you have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I do not know him, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
John 8:56	Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
John 8:57	The Jews therefore said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
John 8:58	Yeshua said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was born, I am.
John 8:59	They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Yeshua hid himself, and went out of the temple.
John 9:1	And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
John 9:2	And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
John 9:3	Yeshua answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
John 9:4	We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.
John 9:5	When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 9:6	When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the saliva, and anointed his eyes with the clay,
John 9:7	and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
John 9:8	The neighbors therefore, and those who saw him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he who sat and begged?
John 9:9	Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
John 9:10	They said therefore to him, How then were your eyes opened?
John 9:11	He answered, The man who is called Yeshua made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.
John 9:12	And they said to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
John 9:13	They bring to the Pharisees him who formerly was blind.
John 9:14	Now it was the sabbath on the day when Yeshua made the clay, and opened his eyes.
John 9:15	Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
John 9:16	Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. But others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
John 9:17	They say therefore to the blind man again, What do you say of him, since he opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
John 9:18	The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
John 9:19	and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?
John 9:20	His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
John 9:21	but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.
John 9:22	These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Messiah, he should be put out of the synagogue.
John 9:23	Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.
John 9:24	So they called a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
John 9:25	He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I do not know: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
John 9:26	They said therefore to him, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?
John 9:27	He answered them, I told you even now, and you did not hear; why do you want to hear it again? do you also want to become his disciples?
John 9:28	And they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses.
John 9:29	We know that God has spoken to Moses: but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.
John 9:30	The man answered and said to them, Why, in this is the marvel, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.
John 9:31	We know that God does not hear sinners: but if any man is a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.
John 9:32	Since the world began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind.
John 9:33	If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
John 9:34	They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
John 9:35	Yeshua heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Do you believe in the Son of God?
John 9:36	He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
John 9:37	Yeshua said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.
John 9:38	And he said, Lord, I believe. And he bowed down before him.
John 9:39	And Yeshua said, For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see; and that those who see may become blind.
John 9:40	Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, Are we also blind?
John 9:41	Yeshua said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin: but now you say, We see: your sin remains.
John 10:1	Truly, truly, I say to you, He who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
John 10:2	But he who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
John 10:3	To him the gatekeeper opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.
John 10:4	When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
John 10:5	And a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him: for they do not know the voice of strangers.
John 10:6	This parable Yeshua spoke to them: but they did not understand what things they were which he spoke to them.
John 10:7	Yeshua therefore said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8	All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9	I am the door; by me if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.
John 10:10	The thief does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
John 10:11	I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:12	He who is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them:
John 10:13	he flees because he is a hireling, and does not care for the sheep.
John 10:14	I am the good shepherd; and I know my own, and my own know me,
John 10:15	even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:16	And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd.
John 10:17	Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
John 10:18	No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I received from my Father.
John 10:19	There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words.
John 10:20	And many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?
John 10:21	Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?
John 10:22	And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:
John 10:23	it was winter; and Yeshua was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
John 10:24	The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him, How long do you hold us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.
John 10:25	Yeshua answered them, I told you, and you do not believe: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me.
John 10:26	But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.
John 10:27	My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28	and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
John 10:29	My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
John 10:30	I and the Father are one.
John 10:31	The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32	Yeshua answered them, Many good works I have shown you from the Father; for which of those works do you stone me?
John 10:33	The Jews answered him, For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; and because you, being a man, make yourself God.
John 10:34	Yeshua answered them, Is it not written in your Torah, I said, You are gods?
John 10:35	If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
John 10:36	do you say of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:37	If I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me.
John 10:38	But if I do them, though you do not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
John 10:39	They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand.
John 10:40	And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first; and there he stayed.
John 10:41	And many came to him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things that John spoke of this man were true.
John 10:42	And many believed in him there.
John 11:1	Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
John 11:2	And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
John 11:3	The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you love is sick.
John 11:4	But when Yeshua heard it, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
John 11:5	Now Yeshua loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
John 11:6	When therefore he heard that he was sick, he remained at that time two days in the place where he was.
John 11:7	Then after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judæa again.
John 11:8	The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you; and are you going there again?
John 11:9	Yeshua answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
John 11:10	But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.
John 11:11	These things he spoke: and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
John 11:12	The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.
John 11:13	Now Yeshua had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
John 11:14	Then Yeshua therefore said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John 11:15	And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; nevertheless let us go to him.
John 11:16	Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
John 11:17	So when Yeshua came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
John 11:18	Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;
John 11:19	and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
John 11:20	Martha therefore, when she heard that Yeshua was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house.
John 11:21	Martha therefore said to Yeshua, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
John 11:22	And even now I know that, whatever you ask of God, God will give you.
John 11:23	Yeshua says to her, Your brother shall rise again.
John 11:24	Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
John 11:25	Yeshua said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: the one believing in me, though he dies, yet he shall live;
John 11:26	and everyone living and believing in me shall never die. Do you believe this?
John 11:27	She says to him, Yes, Lord: I have believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, even he who comes into the world.
John 11:28	And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calls you.
John 11:29	And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went to him.
John 11:30	(Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)
John 11:31	The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
John 11:32	Mary therefore, when she came where Yeshua was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
John 11:33	When Yeshua therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
John 11:34	and said, Where have you laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.
John 11:35	Yeshua wept.
John 11:36	The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
John 11:37	But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have caused this man also not to die?
John 11:38	Yeshua therefore again groaning in himself comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
John 11:39	Yeshua says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, says to him, Lord, by this time the body decays; for he has been dead four days.
John 11:40	Yeshua says to her, Did I not say to you, that, if you believed, you would see the glory of God?
John 11:41	So they took away the stone. And Yeshua lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank you that you heard me.
John 11:42	And I knew that you hear me always: but because of the multitude that stands around I said it, that they may believe that you sent me.
John 11:43	And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
John 11:44	He who was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Yeshua says to them, Unbind him, and let him go.
John 11:45	Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed in him.
John 11:46	But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Yeshua had done.
John 11:47	The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? for this man does many signs.
John 11:48	If we let him alone like this, all men will believe in him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.
John 11:49	But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all,
John 11:50	nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish.
John 11:51	Now this he did not say of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua should die for the nation;
John 11:52	and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
John 11:53	So from that day on they took counsel that they might put him to death.
John 11:54	Yeshua therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he remained with the disciples.
John 11:55	Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves.
John 11:56	They sought therefore for Yeshua, and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?
John 11:57	Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.
John 12:1	Yeshua therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Yeshua raised from the dead.
John 12:2	So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him.
John 12:3	Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Yeshua, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
John 12:4	But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, says,
John 12:5	Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?
John 12:6	Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put into it.
John 12:7	Yeshua therefore said, Let her keep it for the day of my burial.
John 12:8	For the poor you have always with you; but me you do not always have.
John 12:9	The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Yeshua’s sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
John 12:10	But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;
John 12:11	because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed in Yeshua.
John 12:12	The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Yeshua was coming to Jerusalem,
John 12:13	took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yehovah, even the King of Israel.
John 12:14	And Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written,
John 12:15	Do not fear, daughter of Zion: behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.
John 12:16	These things his disciples did not understand at first: but when Yeshua was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
John 12:17	The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore witness.
John 12:18	For this reason also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
John 12:19	The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, See how you prevail nothing; look, the world has gone after him.
John 12:20	Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast:
John 12:21	these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Yeshua.
John 12:22	Philip comes and tells Andrew: Andrew comes, and Philip, and they tell Yeshua.
John 12:23	And Yeshua answers them, saying, The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
John 12:24	Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it abides by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
John 12:25	He who loves his life loses it; and he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal.
John 12:26	If any man serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be: if any man serves me, him will the Father honor.
John 12:27	Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this reason I came to this hour.
John 12:28	Father, glorify your name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
John 12:29	The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel has spoken to him.
John 12:30	Yeshua answered and said, This voice has not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
John 12:31	Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
John 12:32	And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
John 12:33	But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
John 12:34	The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Torah that the Messiah abides forever: and how do you say, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
John 12:35	Yeshua therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you: and he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
John 12:36	While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Yeshua spoke, and he departed and hid himself from them.
John 12:37	But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him:
John 12:38	that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of Yehovah been revealed?
John 12:39	For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,
John 12:40	He has blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them.
John 12:41	These things Isaiah said, because he saw his glory; and he spoke of him.
John 12:42	Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John 12:43	for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.
John 12:44	And Yeshua cried out and said, The one believing in me does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
John 12:45	And he who beholds me beholds him who sent me.
John 12:46	I have come as a light into the world, that everyone believing in me may not abide in the darkness.
John 12:47	And if any man hears my sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him: for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48	He who rejects me, and does not receive my sayings, has one who judges him: the word that I spoke, it shall judge him in the last day.
John 12:49	For I did not speak from myself; but the Father who sent me, he has given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:50	And I know that his commandment is life eternal; the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.
John 13:1	Now before the feast of the passover, Yeshua knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
John 13:2	And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
John 13:3	Yeshua, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goes to God,
John 13:4	rises from supper, and lays aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself.
John 13:5	Then he pours water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.
John 13:6	So he comes to Simon Peter. He says to him, Lord, do you wash my feet?
John 13:7	Yeshua answered and said to him, What I do you do not know now; but you shall understand afterward.
John 13:8	Peter says to him, You shall never wash my feet. Yeshua answered him, If I do not wash you, you have no part with me.
John 13:9	Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
John 13:10	Yeshua says to him, He who is bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet, but is entirely clean: and you are clean, but not all.
John 13:11	For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean.
John 13:12	So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you?
John 13:13	You call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and you say well; for so I am.
John 13:14	If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:15	For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
John 13:16	Truly, truly, I say to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither is one who is sent greater than he who sent him.
John 13:17	If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
John 13:18	I do not speak of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.
John 13:19	From now on I tell you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, you may believe that I am he.
John 13:20	Truly, truly, I say to you, He who receives whomever I send receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
John 13:21	When Yeshua had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall betray me.
John 13:22	The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke.
John 13:23	There was at the table reclining in Yeshua’s bosom one of his disciples, whom Yeshua loved.
John 13:24	Simon Peter therefore beckons to him, and says to him, Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.
John 13:25	He leaning back, as he was, on Yeshua’s breast says to him, Lord, who is it?
John 13:26	Yeshua therefore answers, It is he for whom I shall dip the morsel, and give it to him. So when he had dipped the morsel, he takes it and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
John 13:27	And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Yeshua therefore says to him, What you do, do quickly.
John 13:28	Now no man at the table knew for what purpose he spoke this to him.
John 13:29	For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Yeshua said to him, Buy what things we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
John 13:30	He then having received the morsel went out immediately: and it was night.
John 13:31	When therefore he had gone out, Yeshua says, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;
John 13:32	and God shall glorify him in himself, and immediately he shall glorify him.
John 13:33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me: and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come; so now I say to you.
John 13:34	A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
John 13:35	By this all men shall know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:36	Simon Peter says to him, Lord, where are you going? Yeshua answered, Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward.
John 13:37	Peter says to him, Lord, why can I not follow you even now? I will lay down my life for you.
John 13:38	Yeshua answers, Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, till you have denied me three times.
John 14:1	Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2	In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3	And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
John 14:4	And where I go, you know the way.
John 14:5	Thomas says to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going; how do we know the way?
John 14:6	Yeshua says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me.
John 14:7	If you had known me, you would have known my Father also: from now on you know him, and have seen him.
John 14:8	Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
John 14:9	Yeshua says to him, Have I been so long with you, and do you not know me, Philip? he who has seen me has seen the Father; how do you say, Show us the Father?
John 14:10	Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say to you I do not speak from myself: but the Father abiding in me does his works.
John 14:11	Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
John 14:12	Truly, truly, I say to you, The one believing in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these he shall do; because I go to the Father.
John 14:13	And whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14	If you ask anything in my name, that I will do.
John 14:15	If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
John 14:16	And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever,
John 14:17	even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it does not behold him, nor know him: you know him; for he abides with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18	I will not leave you desolate: I come to you.
John 14:19	Yet a little while, and the world beholds me no more; but you behold me: because I live, you shall live also.
John 14:20	In that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
John 14:21	He who has my commandments, and keeps them, it is he who loves me: and he who loves me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:22	Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, what has come to pass that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?
John 14:23	Yeshua answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:24	He who does not love me does not keep my words: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
John 14:25	These things I have spoken to you, while still abiding with you.
John 14:26	But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John 14:27	Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
John 14:28	You heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come to you. If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.
John 14:29	And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, you may believe.
John 14:30	I will no longer speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me;
John 14:31	but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
John 15:1	I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
John 15:2	Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes it away: and every branch that bears fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:3	Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
John 15:4	Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine; so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
John 15:5	I am the vine, you are the branches: He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:6	If a man does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
John 15:7	If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.
John 15:8	In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you shall be my disciples.
John 15:9	Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
John 15:10	If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:11	These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
John 15:12	This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
John 15:13	Greater love has no man than this, that a man lays down his life for his friends.
John 15:14	You are my friends, if you do the things which I command you.
John 15:15	No longer do I call you servants; for the servant does not know what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:16	You did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
John 15:17	These things I command you, that you may love one another.
John 15:18	If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
John 15:19	If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
John 15:20	Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
John 15:21	But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me.
John 15:22	If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
John 15:23	He who hates me hates my Father also.
John 15:24	If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
John 15:25	But this comes to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Torah, They hated me without a cause.
John 15:26	But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
John 15:27	and you also bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
John 16:1	These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be caused to stumble.
John 16:2	They shall put you out of the synagogues: indeed, the hour comes, that whoever kills you shall think that he offers service to God.
John 16:3	And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
John 16:4	But these things I have spoken to you, that when their hour has come, you may remember them, that I told you. And these things I did not say to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
John 16:5	But now I go to him who sent me; and none of you asks me, Where are you going?
John 16:6	But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
John 16:7	Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
John 16:8	And he, when he has come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John 16:9	of sin, because they do not believe in me;
John 16:10	of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you behold me no more;
John 16:11	of judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
John 16:12	I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
John 16:13	However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatever things he shall hear, these he shall speak: and he shall declare to you the things that are to come.
John 16:14	He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it to you.
John 16:15	All things that the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that he takes of mine, and shall declare it to you.
John 16:16	A little while, and you behold me no more; and again a little while, and you shall see me.
John 16:17	Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you do not behold me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
John 16:18	They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? We do not know what he says.
John 16:19	Yeshua perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me?
John 16:20	Truly, truly, I say to you, that you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
John 16:21	A woman when she is in labor has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
John 16:22	And you therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes away from you.
John 16:23	And in that day you shall ask me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, If you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
John 16:24	Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
John 16:25	These things I have spoken to you in dark sayings: the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.
John 16:26	In that day you shall ask in my name: and I do not say to you, that I will pray the Father for you;
John 16:27	for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
John 16:28	I came out from the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John 16:29	His disciples say, Look, now you speak plainly, and speak no dark saying.
John 16:30	Now we know that you know all things, and do not need that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.
John 16:31	Yeshua answered them, Do you now believe?
John 16:32	Behold, the hour comes, indeed, has come, that you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
John 16:33	These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 17:1	These things Yeshua spoke; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that the Son may glorify you:
John 17:2	even as you gave him authority over all flesh, that to all whom you have given him, he should give eternal life.
John 17:3	And this is life eternal, that they should know you the only true God, and him whom you sent, even Yeshua Messiah.
John 17:4	I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work which you have given me to do.
John 17:5	And now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.
John 17:6	I manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.
John 17:7	Now they know that all things that you have given me are from you:
John 17:8	for the words which you gave me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew truly that I came forth from you, and they believed that you sent me.
John 17:9	I pray for them: I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me; for they are yours:
John 17:10	and all things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine: and I am glorified in them.
John 17:11	And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
John 17:12	While I was with them, I kept them in your name which you have given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished except the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:13	But now I come to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
John 17:14	I have given them your word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15	I do not pray that you should take them from the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.
John 17:16	They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:17	Sanctify them in the truth: your word is truth.
John 17:18	As you sent me into the world, even so I sent them into the world.
John 17:19	And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
John 17:20	Neither for these only do I pray, but for those also believing in me through their word;
John 17:21	that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that you sent me.
John 17:22	And the glory which you have given me I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;
John 17:23	I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
John 17:24	Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
John 17:25	O righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me;
John 17:26	and I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.
John 18:1	When Yeshua had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples.
John 18:2	Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Yeshua often went there with his disciples.
John 18:3	Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
John 18:4	Yeshua therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went out, and says to them, Whom do you seek?
John 18:5	They answered him, Yeshua of Nazareth. Yeshua says to them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
John 18:6	When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
John 18:7	Again therefore he asked them, Whom do you seek? And they said, Yeshua of Nazareth.
John 18:8	Yeshua answered, I told you that I am he; if therefore you seek me, let these go their way:
John 18:9	that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, Of those whom you have given me I did not lose one.
John 18:10	Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.
John 18:11	Yeshua therefore said to Peter, Put the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?
John 18:12	So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Yeshua and bound him,
John 18:13	and led him to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
John 18:14	Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John 18:15	And Simon Peter followed Yeshua, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and entered in with Yeshua into the court of the high priest;
John 18:16	but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought in Peter.
John 18:17	The maid therefore who kept the door says to Peter, Are you also one of this man’s disciples? He says, I am not.
John 18:18	Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
John 18:19	The high priest therefore asked Yeshua about his disciples, and about his teaching.
John 18:20	Yeshua answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret I spoke nothing.
John 18:21	Why do you ask me? ask those who have heard me, what I spoke to them: behold, these know the things which I said.
John 18:22	And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Yeshua with his hand, saying, Do you answer the high priest like this?
John 18:23	Yeshua answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why do you strike me?
John 18:24	Annas therefore sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
John 18:25	Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, Are you also one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not.
John 18:26	One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, says, Did I not see you in the garden with him?
John 18:27	Peter therefore denied again: and immediately the cock crowed.
John 18:28	They lead Yeshua therefore from Caiaphas into the Prætorium: and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into the Prætorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
John 18:29	Pilate therefore went out to them, and says, What accusation do you bring against this man?
John 18:30	They answered and said to him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him up to you.
John 18:31	Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your Torah. The Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
John 18:32	that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
John 18:33	Pilate therefore entered again into the Prætorium, and called Yeshua, and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
John 18:34	Yeshua answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell it to you concerning me?
John 18:35	Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me: what have you done?
John 18:36	Yeshua answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from here.
John 18:37	Pilate therefore said to him, Are you a king then? Yeshua answered, You say that I am a king. To this end I have been born, and to this end I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.
John 18:38	Pilate says to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, I find no crime in him.
John 18:39	But you have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover: do you wish therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?
John 18:40	They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19:1	Then Pilate therefore took Yeshua, and scourged him.
John 19:2	And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and clothed him in a purple garment;
John 19:3	and they came to him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.
John 19:4	And Pilate went out again, and says to them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him.
John 19:5	Yeshua therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate says to them, Behold, the man!
John 19:6	When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him.
John 19:7	The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by the Torah he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
John 19:8	When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was all the more afraid;
John 19:9	and he entered into the Prætorium again, and says to Yeshua, Where are you from? But Yeshua gave him no answer.
John 19:10	Pilate therefore says to him, Do you not speak to me? do you not know that I have power to release you, and have power to crucify you?
John 19:11	Yeshua answered him, You would have no power against me, unless it had been given you from above: therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.
John 19:12	After this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If you release this man, you are not Cæsar’s friend: everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Cæsar.
John 19:13	When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Yeshua out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
John 19:14	Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Behold, your King!
John 19:15	They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar.
John 19:16	Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified.
John 19:17	They took Yeshua therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, to the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha:
John 19:18	where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Yeshua in the midst.
John 19:19	And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, YESHUA OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:20	This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek.
John 19:21	The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The King of the Jews; but, that he said, I am King of the Jews.
John 19:22	Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
John 19:23	The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Yeshua, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
John 19:24	They said therefore one to another, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.
John 19:25	These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Yeshua his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
John 19:26	When Yeshua therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he says to his mother, Woman, behold, your son!
John 19:27	Then he says to the disciple, Behold, your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
John 19:28	After this Yeshua, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, says, I thirst.
John 19:29	There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.
John 19:30	When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
John 19:31	The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
John 19:32	The soldiers therefore came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him:
John 19:33	but when they came to Yeshua, and saw that he was dead already, they did not break his legs:
John 19:34	however, one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out blood and water.
John 19:35	And he who has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knows that he says what is true, that you also may believe.
John 19:36	For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
John 19:37	And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
John 19:38	And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Yeshua: and Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore, and took away his body.
John 19:39	And there came also Nicodemus, he who at first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.
John 19:40	So they took the body of Yeshua, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.
John 19:41	Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb in which no man had yet been laid.
John 19:42	There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Yeshua.
John 20:1	Now on the first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.
John 20:2	She runs therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Yeshua loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.
John 20:3	Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
John 20:4	And they both ran together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;
John 20:5	and stooping and looking in, he sees the linen cloths lying; yet he did not go in.
John 20:6	Simon Peter therefore also comes, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholds the linen cloths lying,
John 20:7	and the face cloth, that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
John 20:8	Then therefore the other disciple also went in, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.
John 20:9	For as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
John 20:10	So the disciples went away again to their own home.
John 20:11	But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;
John 20:12	and she beholds two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Yeshua had lain.
John 20:13	And they say to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.
John 20:14	When she had said this, she turned around, and beholds Yeshua standing, and did not know that it was Yeshua.
John 20:15	Yeshua says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, says to him, Sir, if you have carried him from here, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.
John 20:16	Yeshua says to her, Mary. She turns herself, and says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.
John 20:17	Yeshua says to her, Do not touch me; for I have not yet ascended to the Father: but go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
John 20:18	Mary Magdalene comes and tells the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that he had said these things to her.
John 20:19	When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Yeshua came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace be to you.
John 20:20	And when he had said this, he showed to them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
John 20:21	Yeshua therefore said to them again, Peace be to you: as the Father has sent me, even so I send you.
John 20:22	And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit:
John 20:23	if you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.
John 20:24	But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Yeshua came.
John 20:25	The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John 20:26	And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Yeshua comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you.
John 20:27	Then he says to Thomas, Reach your finger here, and see my hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into my side: and do not be faithless, but believing.
John 20:28	Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
John 20:29	Yeshua says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 20:30	Many other signs therefore Yeshua did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:
John 20:31	but these are written, that you may believe that Yeshua is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in his name.
John 21:1	After these things Yeshua manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself in this way.
John 21:2	There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
John 21:3	Simon Peter says to them, I am going fishing. They say to him, We also are coming with you. They went out, and entered into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.
John 21:4	But when day was now breaking, Yeshua stood on the beach: yet the disciples did not know that it was Yeshua.
John 21:5	Yeshua therefore says to them, Children, have you anything to eat? They answered him, No.
John 21:6	And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
John 21:7	That disciple therefore whom Yeshua loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his coat around him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
John 21:8	But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net full of fish.
John 21:9	So when they got out on the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
John 21:10	Yeshua says to them, Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.
John 21:11	Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three: and although there were so many, the net was not torn.
John 21:12	Yeshua says to them, Come and have breakfast. And none of the disciples dared to inquire of him, Who are you? knowing that it was the Lord.
John 21:13	Yeshua comes, and takes the bread, and gives them, and the fish likewise.
John 21:14	This is now the third time that Yeshua was manifested to the disciples, after he had risen from the dead.
John 21:15	So when they had eaten breakfast, Yeshua says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He says to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He says to him, Feed my lambs.
John 21:16	He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? He says to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He says to him, Tend my sheep.
John 21:17	He says to him the third time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Yeshua says to him, Feed my sheep.
John 21:18	Truly, truly, I say to you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked where you wished: but when you are old, you shall stretch out your hands, and another shall gird you, and carry you where you do not wish.
John 21:19	Now this he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he says to him, Follow me.
John 21:20	Peter, turning around, sees the disciple whom Yeshua loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he who betrays you?
John 21:21	Peter therefore seeing him says to Yeshua, Lord, and what shall this man do?
John 21:22	Yeshua says to him, If I will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.
John 21:23	This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that that disciple would not die: yet Yeshua did not say to him, that he would not die; but, If I will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?
John 21:24	This is the disciple who bears witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.
John 21:25	And there are also many other things which Yeshua did, which, if they were written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.
Acts 1:1	The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Yeshua began both to do and to teach,
Acts 1:2	until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen:
Acts 1:3	to whom he also showed himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
Acts 1:4	and, being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, you heard from me:
Acts 1:5	for John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
Acts 1:6	They therefore, when they had come together, asked him, saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
Acts 1:7	And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father has set within his own authority.
Acts 1:8	But you shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:9	And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acts 1:10	And while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Acts 1:11	who also said, You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? this Yeshua, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you saw him going into heaven.
Acts 1:12	Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.
Acts 1:13	And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Acts 1:14	These all with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Yeshua, and with his brothers.
Acts 1:15	And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty),
Acts 1:16	Brothers, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Yeshua.
Acts 1:17	For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Acts 1:18	(Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Acts 1:19	And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
Acts 1:20	For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell in it: and, His office let another take.
Acts 1:21	Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua went in and went out among us,
Acts 1:22	beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.
Acts 1:23	And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 1:24	And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which of these two you have chosen,
Acts 1:25	to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.
Acts 1:26	And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 2:1	And when the day of Pentecost had now come, they were all together in one place.
Acts 2:2	And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3	And there appeared to them tongues parting apart, as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
Acts 2:4	And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:5	Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Acts 2:6	And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speaking in his own language.
Acts 2:7	And they were all amazed and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilæans?
Acts 2:8	And how do we hear, every man in our own language in which we were born?
Acts 2:9	Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
Acts 2:10	in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
Acts 2:11	Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God.
Acts 2:12	And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What does this mean?
Acts 2:13	But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
Acts 2:14	But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, saying, You men of Judæa, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words.
Acts 2:15	For these are not drunk, as you suppose; seeing it is only the third hour of the day;
Acts 2:16	but this is that which has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
Acts 2:17	And it shall be in the last days, says God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:18	Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
Acts 2:19	And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
Acts 2:20	The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of Yehovah comes, That great and notable day:
Acts 2:21	And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the name of Yehovah shall be saved.
Acts 2:22	You men of Israel, hear these words: Yeshua of Nazareth, a man approved of God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as you yourselves know;
Acts 2:23	him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hand of lawless men crucified and killed:
Acts 2:24	whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Acts 2:25	For David says concerning him, I saw Yehovah always before my face; For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
Acts 2:26	Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:
Acts 2:27	Because you will not leave my soul to Hades, Neither will you give your Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 2:28	You made known to me the ways of life; You shall make me full of gladness with your countenance.
Acts 2:29	Brothers, I may say to you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
Acts 2:30	Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set one upon his throne;
Acts 2:31	he foreseeing this spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that neither was he left to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
Acts 2:32	This Yeshua God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33	Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured forth this, which you see and hear.
Acts 2:34	For David did not ascend into the heavens: but he says himself, Yehovah said to my lord, Sit on my right hand,
Acts 2:35	Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.
Acts 2:36	Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Yeshua whom you crucified.
Acts 2:37	Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brothers, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38	And Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the remission of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:39	For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call to him.
Acts 2:40	And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation.
Acts 2:41	So those who received his word were baptized: and there were added to them in that day about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:42	And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Acts 2:43	And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
Acts 2:44	And all those believing were together, and had all things in common;
Acts 2:45	and they sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, as any man had need.
Acts 2:46	And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
Acts 2:47	praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those who were being saved.
Acts 3:1	Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Acts 3:2	And a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered into the temple;
Acts 3:3	who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive alms.
Acts 3:4	And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us.
Acts 3:5	And he paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Acts 3:6	But Peter said, Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, walk.
Acts 3:7	And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength.
Acts 3:8	And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Acts 3:9	And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
Acts 3:10	and they recognized him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
Acts 3:11	And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
Acts 3:12	And when Peter saw it, he answered the people, You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? or why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
Acts 3:13	The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Yeshua; whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
Acts 3:14	But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
Acts 3:15	and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses.
Acts 3:16	And by faith in his name has his name made this man strong, whom you see and know: yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Acts 3:17	And now, brothers, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
Acts 3:18	But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Messiah should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
Acts 3:19	Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:20	and that he may send the Messiah who has been appointed for you, even Yeshua:
Acts 3:21	whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old.
Acts 3:22	Moses indeed said, A prophet shall Yehovah God raise up to you from among your brothers, like me; to him shall you listen in all things whatever he shall speak to you.
Acts 3:23	And it shall be, that every soul that does not listen to that prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
Acts 3:24	Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.
Acts 3:25	You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:26	To you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
Acts 4:1	And as they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Acts 4:2	being greatly troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Yeshua the resurrection from the dead.
Acts 4:3	And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day: for it was now evening.
Acts 4:4	But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Acts 4:5	And it happened on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;
Acts 4:6	and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest.
Acts 4:7	And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have you done this?
Acts 4:8	Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, You rulers of the people, and elders,
Acts 4:9	if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been made whole;
Acts 4:10	let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him does this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:11	He is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12	And in no one else is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:13	Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ordinary men, they marveled; and they recognized them, that they had been with Yeshua.
Acts 4:14	And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Acts 4:15	But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Acts 4:16	saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
Acts 4:17	But so that it may spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak from now on to no man in this name.
Acts 4:18	And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yeshua.
Acts 4:19	But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you judge:
Acts 4:20	for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
Acts 4:21	And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for what was done.
Acts 4:22	For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was performed.
Acts 4:23	And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Acts 4:24	And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, you who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them:
Acts 4:25	who by the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David your servant, said, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things?
Acts 4:26	The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against Yehovah, and against his Anointed:
Acts 4:27	for truly in this city against your holy Servant Yeshua, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
Acts 4:28	to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
Acts 4:29	And now, Lord, look upon their threats: and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Acts 4:30	while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Yeshua.
Acts 4:31	And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:32	And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things in common.
Acts 4:33	And with great power the apostles gave their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua: and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:34	For neither was there anyone among them who lacked: for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Acts 4:35	and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made to each, as anyone had need.
Acts 4:36	And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being translated, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by birth,
Acts 4:37	having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Acts 5:1	But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Acts 5:2	and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Acts 5:3	But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Acts 5:4	While it remained, did it not remain your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied to men, but to God.
Acts 5:5	And Ananias hearing these words fell down and breathed his last: and great fear came upon all who heard it.
Acts 5:6	And the young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Acts 5:7	And it was about three hours later, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Acts 5:8	And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Acts 5:9	But Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
Acts 5:10	And she fell down immediately at his feet, and breathed her last: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Acts 5:11	And great fear came upon the whole assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
Acts 5:12	And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people: and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Acts 5:13	But of the rest no man dared join himself to them: however, the people magnified them;
Acts 5:14	and believers were all the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women:
Acts 5:15	so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.
Acts 5:16	And there also came together the multitude from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
Acts 5:17	But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
Acts 5:18	and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
Acts 5:19	But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,
Acts 5:20	Go, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.
Acts 5:21	And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Acts 5:22	But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned, and reported,
Acts 5:23	saying, We found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing at the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no man inside.
Acts 5:24	Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them as to what this would grow into.
Acts 5:25	And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.
Acts 5:26	Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
Acts 5:27	And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
Acts 5:28	saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
Acts 5:29	But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:30	The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Acts 5:31	Him God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Acts 5:32	And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.
Acts 5:33	But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and intended to kill them.
Acts 5:34	But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, and commanded to put the men outside a little while.
Acts 5:35	And he said to them, You men of Israel, take care regarding these men, what you are about to do.
Acts 5:36	For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was killed; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
Acts 5:37	After this man Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away some of the people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Acts 5:38	And now I say to you, Keep away from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown:
Acts 5:39	but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; lest perhaps you be found even to be fighting against God.
Acts 5:40	And they agreed with him: and when they had called the apostles to them, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.
Acts 5:41	They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
Acts 5:42	And every day, in the temple and at home, they did not cease to teach and to preach Yeshua as the Messiah.
Acts 6:1	Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.
Acts 6:2	And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to them, and said, It is not right that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.
Acts 6:3	Therefore, brothers, look out from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
Acts 6:4	But we will continue steadfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
Acts 6:5	And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaüs a proselyte of Antioch;
Acts 6:6	whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
Acts 6:7	And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
Acts 6:8	And Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
Acts 6:9	But there arose certain of those who were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
Acts 6:10	And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Acts 6:11	Then they secretly induced men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
Acts 6:12	And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,
Acts 6:13	and set up false witnesses, who said, This man does not cease to speak words against this holy place, and the Torah:
Acts 6:14	for we have heard him say, that this Yeshua of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
Acts 6:15	And all who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as if it were the face of an angel.
Acts 7:1	And the high priest said, Are these things so?
Acts 7:2	And he said, Brothers and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Acts 7:3	and said to him, Go out from your land, and from your kindred, and come into the land which I shall show you.
Acts 7:4	Then he came out of the land of the Chaldæans, and lived in Haran: and from there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land, in which you now dwell:
Acts 7:5	and he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not even enough to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
Acts 7:6	And God spoke in this way, that his seed should sojourn in a foreign land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and mistreat them, four hundred years.
Acts 7:7	And the nation to which they shall be in bondage I will judge, said God: and after that they shall come out, and serve me in this place.
Acts 7:8	And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham fathered Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Acts 7:9	And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,
Acts 7:10	and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
Acts 7:11	Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no food.
Acts 7:12	But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Acts 7:13	And on the second visit Joseph was made known to his brothers; and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.
Acts 7:14	And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
Acts 7:15	And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;
Acts 7:16	and they were carried over to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Acts 7:17	But as the time of the promise drew near which God had granted to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Acts 7:18	until there arose another king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Acts 7:19	He dealt craftily with our race, and mistreated our fathers, that they should cast out their babies so that they might not live.
Acts 7:20	At this time Moses was born, and was exceedingly beautiful; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:
Acts 7:21	and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him as her own son.
Acts 7:22	And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.
Acts 7:23	But when he was nearly forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers the children of Israel.
Acts 7:24	And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian:
Acts 7:25	and he supposed that his brothers understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Acts 7:26	And the following day he appeared to them as they fought, and would have reconciled them again, saying, Men, you are brothers; why do you wrong one another?
Acts 7:27	But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Acts 7:28	Would you kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?
Acts 7:29	And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he fathered two sons.
Acts 7:30	And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Acts 7:31	And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to look, there came a voice of the Lord,
Acts 7:32	I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and did not dare to look.
Acts 7:33	And the Lord said to him, Take the shoes off your feet: for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
Acts 7:34	I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send you into Egypt.
Acts 7:35	This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him has God sent to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.
Acts 7:36	This man led them out, having done wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Acts 7:37	This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up to you from among your brothers, like me.
Acts 7:38	This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give to us:
Acts 7:39	to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but pushed him away from them, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Acts 7:40	saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
Acts 7:41	And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Acts 7:42	But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did you offer to me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Acts 7:43	And you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which you made to bow down to them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Acts 7:44	Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses appointed, that he should make it according to the pattern that he had seen.
Acts 7:45	Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they took possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, until the days of David;
Acts 7:46	who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
Acts 7:47	But Solomon built him a house.
Acts 7:48	However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; as the prophet says,
Acts 7:49	The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will you build me? says Yehovah: Or what is the place of my rest?
Acts 7:50	Did not my hand make all these things?
Acts 7:51	You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do you.
Acts 7:52	Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? and they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One; of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers;
Acts 7:53	you who received the Torah as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it.
Acts 7:54	Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed their teeth at him.
Acts 7:55	But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Yeshua standing at the right hand of God,
Acts 7:56	and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.
Acts 7:57	But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;
Acts 7:58	and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Acts 7:59	And they stoned Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Yeshua, receive my spirit.
Acts 7:60	And he knelt down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, do not hold this sin against them. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 8:1	And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
Acts 8:2	And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.
Acts 8:3	But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women he committed them to prison.
Acts 8:4	Therefore those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the word.
Acts 8:5	And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Messiah.
Acts 8:6	And the multitudes paid attention with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.
Acts 8:7	For from many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed.
Acts 8:8	And there was much joy in that city.
Acts 8:9	But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who previously in the city practiced sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, claiming that he himself was someone great:
Acts 8:10	to whom they all paid attention, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great.
Acts 8:11	And they paid attention to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Acts 8:12	But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Yeshua Messiah, they were baptized, both men and women.
Acts 8:13	And Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.
Acts 8:14	Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
Acts 8:15	who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
Acts 8:16	for as yet it had fallen upon none of them: they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Acts 8:17	Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:18	Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
Acts 8:19	saying, Give me also this power, that whoever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:20	But Peter said to him, May your silver perish with you, because you have thought to obtain the gift of God with money.
Acts 8:21	You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right before God.
Acts 8:22	Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of your heart shall be forgiven you.
Acts 8:23	For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.
Acts 8:24	And Simon answered and said, Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.
Acts 8:25	They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Acts 8:26	But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: this is desert.
Acts 8:27	And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
Acts 8:28	and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Acts 8:29	And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
Acts 8:30	And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Do you understand what you are reading?
Acts 8:31	And he said, How can I, unless someone guides me? And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Acts 8:32	Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So he does not open his mouth:
Acts 8:33	In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.
Acts 8:34	And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this? of himself, or of someone else?
Acts 8:35	And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached to him Yeshua.
Acts 8:36	And as they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch says, Behold, here is water; what hinders me from being baptized?
Acts 8:37	
Acts 8:38	And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Acts 8:39	And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Acts 8:40	But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Cæsarea.
Acts 9:1	But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Acts 9:2	and asked him for letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Acts 9:3	And as he journeyed, it happened that he drew near to Damascus: and suddenly there shone around him a light out of heaven:
Acts 9:4	and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
Acts 9:5	And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Yeshua whom you persecute:
Acts 9:6	but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
Acts 9:7	And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no man.
Acts 9:8	And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Acts 9:9	And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Acts 9:10	Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Acts 9:11	And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prays;
Acts 9:12	and he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
Acts 9:13	But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem:
Acts 9:14	and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon your name.
Acts 9:15	But the Lord said to him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 9:16	for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Acts 9:17	And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Yeshua, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 9:18	And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;
Acts 9:19	and he took food and was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Acts 9:20	And immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
Acts 9:21	And all who heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? and he had come here for this purpose, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.
Acts 9:22	But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
Acts 9:23	And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:
Acts 9:24	but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:
Acts 9:25	but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Acts 9:26	And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Acts 9:27	But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
Acts 9:28	And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,
Acts 9:29	preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spoke and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.
Acts 9:30	And when the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
Acts 9:31	So the assembly throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.
Acts 9:32	And it happened, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Acts 9:33	And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years; for he was paralyzed.
Acts 9:34	And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Yeshua Messiah heals you: arise, and make your bed. And immediately he arose.
Acts 9:35	And all who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Acts 9:36	Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by translation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and acts of charity which she did.
Acts 9:37	And it happened in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Acts 9:38	And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, Do not delay to come on to us.
Acts 9:39	And Peter arose and went with them. And when he had come, they brought him into the upper room: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
Acts 9:40	But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Acts 9:41	And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Acts 9:42	And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed in the Lord.
Acts 9:43	And it happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Acts 10:1	Now there was a certain man in Cæsarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the cohort called the Italian cohort,
Acts 10:2	a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
Acts 10:3	He saw in a vision clearly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
Acts 10:4	And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being terrified, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms have gone up for a memorial before God.
Acts 10:5	And now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
Acts 10:6	he lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
Acts 10:7	And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually;
Acts 10:8	and having related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Acts 10:9	Now on the next day, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:
Acts 10:10	and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;
Acts 10:11	and he sees the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, like a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:
Acts 10:12	in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.
Acts 10:13	And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
Acts 10:14	But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean.
Acts 10:15	And a voice came to him again the second time, What God has cleansed, do not call common.
Acts 10:16	And this was done three times: and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
Acts 10:17	Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself as to what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
Acts 10:18	and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
Acts 10:19	And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are seeking you.
Acts 10:20	But arise, and go down, and go with them, without doubting: for I have sent them.
Acts 10:21	And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom you seek: what is the reason why you have come?
Acts 10:22	And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was instructed by God through a holy angel to send for you to come to his house, and to hear words from you.
Acts 10:23	So he called them in and lodged them. And on the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Acts 10:24	And on the next day they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his close friends.
Acts 10:25	And when it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and bowed down before him.
Acts 10:26	But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
Acts 10:27	And as he talked with him, he went in, and finds many who had come together:
Acts 10:28	and he said to them, You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean:
Acts 10:29	therefore I also came without objection, when I was sent for. I ask therefore for what reason you sent for me.
Acts 10:30	And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Acts 10:31	and says, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.
Acts 10:32	Send therefore to Joppa, and call to you Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the seaside.
Acts 10:33	Immediately therefore I sent to you; and you have done well to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord.
Acts 10:34	And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality:
Acts 10:35	but in every nation he who fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.
Acts 10:36	The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Yeshua Messiah (he is Lord of all)—
Acts 10:37	that saying you yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Acts 10:38	even Yeshua of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
Acts 10:39	And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they killed, hanging him on a tree.
Acts 10:40	Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
Acts 10:41	not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Acts 10:42	And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.
Acts 10:43	To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name everyone believing in him shall receive remission of sins.
Acts 10:44	While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Acts 10:45	And those of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because on the Gentiles also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.
Acts 10:46	For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then Peter answered,
Acts 10:47	Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
Acts 10:48	And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Acts 11:1	Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Acts 11:2	And when Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Acts 11:3	saying, You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them.
Acts 11:4	But Peter began, and explained the matter to them in order, saying,
Acts 11:5	I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, like a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came right down to me:
Acts 11:6	upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.
Acts 11:7	And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
Acts 11:8	But I said, By no means, Lord: for nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.
Acts 11:9	But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not call common.
Acts 11:10	And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Acts 11:11	And behold, at that moment three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea to me.
Acts 11:12	And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. And these six brothers also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:
Acts 11:13	and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and bring Simon, whose surname is Peter;
Acts 11:14	who shall speak to you words by which you shall be saved, you and all your house.
Acts 11:15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
Acts 11:16	And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Acts 11:17	If then God gave to them the same gift as he did also to us, when we believed in the Lord Yeshua Messiah, who was I, that I could withstand God?
Acts 11:18	And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also has God granted repentance to life.
Acts 11:19	So those who were scattered abroad because of the tribulation that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except only to Jews.
Acts 11:20	But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Yeshua.
Acts 11:21	And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
Acts 11:22	And the report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem: and they sent out Barnabas as far as Antioch:
Acts 11:23	who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cling to the Lord:
Acts 11:24	for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
Acts 11:25	And he went out to Tarsus to look for Saul;
Acts 11:26	and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people; and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 11:27	Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Acts 11:28	And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and indicated by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world: which happened in the days of Claudius.
Acts 11:29	And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judæa:
Acts 11:30	which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Acts 12:1	Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hands to afflict some of the assembly.
Acts 12:2	And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Acts 12:3	And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread.
Acts 12:4	And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people.
Acts 12:5	Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly by the assembly to God for him.
Acts 12:6	And when Herod was about to bring him out, that same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
Acts 12:7	And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell: and he struck Peter on the side, and woke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.
Acts 12:8	And the angel said to him, Dress yourself, and put on your sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Wrap your garment around you, and follow me.
Acts 12:9	And he went out, and followed; and he did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
Acts 12:10	And when they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel departed from him.
Acts 12:11	And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know for certain, that the Lord has sent his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Acts 12:12	And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.
Acts 12:13	And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl came to answer, named Rhoda.
Acts 12:14	And when she recognized Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in, and reported that Peter stood before the gate.
Acts 12:15	And they said to her, You are out of your mind. But she kept insisting that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
Acts 12:16	But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
Acts 12:17	But he, motioning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things to James, and to the brothers. And he departed, and went to another place.
Acts 12:18	Now as soon as it was day, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, over what had become of Peter.
Acts 12:19	And when Herod had searched for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and stayed there.
Acts 12:20	Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
Acts 12:21	And on an appointed day Herod put on his royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made a speech to them.
Acts 12:22	And the people shouted, saying, The voice of a god, and not of a man.
Acts 12:23	And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and breathed his last.
Acts 12:24	But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Acts 12:25	And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
Acts 13:1	Now there were at Antioch, in the assembly that was there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Acts 13:2	And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Acts 13:3	Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Acts 13:4	So they, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
Acts 13:5	And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
Acts 13:6	And when they had gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Yeshua;
Acts 13:7	who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man called to him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:8	But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Acts 13:9	But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
Acts 13:10	and said, O full of all deceit and all villainy, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Acts 13:11	And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Acts 13:12	Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Acts 13:13	Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Acts 13:14	But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
Acts 13:15	And after the reading of the Torah and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.
Acts 13:16	And Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:
Acts 13:17	The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of it.
Acts 13:18	And for about forty years he bore with them like a nursing father in the wilderness.
Acts 13:19	And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
Acts 13:20	and after these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Acts 13:21	And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Acts 13:22	And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bore witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
Acts 13:23	Of this man’s seed God has according to promise brought to Israel a Savior, Yeshua;
Acts 13:24	when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Acts 13:25	And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, there comes one after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.
Acts 13:26	Brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us the word of this salvation has been sent.
Acts 13:27	For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Acts 13:28	And though they found no cause of death in him, yet they asked Pilate that he should be killed.
Acts 13:29	And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
Acts 13:30	But God raised him from the dead:
Acts 13:31	and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
Acts 13:32	And we bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Acts 13:33	that God has fulfilled this to our children, in that he raised up Yeshua; as also it is written in the second psalm, You are my Son, today I have begotten you.
Acts 13:34	And as concerning the fact that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.
Acts 13:35	Because he says also in another psalm, You will not give your Holy One to see corruption.
Acts 13:36	For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
Acts 13:37	but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
Acts 13:38	Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you:
Acts 13:39	and by him everyone believing is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
Acts 13:40	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
Acts 13:41	Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which you shall by no means believe, if one declares it to you.
Acts 13:42	And as they went out, they begged that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
Acts 13:43	Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 13:44	And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:45	But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Acts 13:46	And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
Acts 13:47	For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 13:48	And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Acts 13:49	And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Acts 13:50	But the Jews urged on the devout women of high standing, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.
Acts 13:51	But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Acts 13:52	And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 14:1	And it happened in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
Acts 14:2	But the Jews who were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
Acts 14:3	So they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Acts 14:4	But the multitude of the city was divided; and part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Acts 14:5	And when there was made an attempt both by the Gentiles and by the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,
Acts 14:6	they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region:
Acts 14:7	and there they preached the gospel.
Acts 14:8	And at Lystra there sat a certain man, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
Acts 14:9	This man heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
Acts 14:10	said with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped up and walked.
Acts 14:11	And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.
Acts 14:12	And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
Acts 14:13	And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the multitudes.
Acts 14:14	But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their garments, and rushed out among the multitude, crying out
Acts 14:15	and saying, Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them:
Acts 14:16	who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
Acts 14:17	And yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
Acts 14:18	And with these sayings they scarcely restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them.
Acts 14:19	But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
Acts 14:20	But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
Acts 14:21	And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
Acts 14:22	confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
Acts 14:23	And when they had appointed for them elders in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Acts 14:24	And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.
Acts 14:25	And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
Acts 14:26	and from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
Acts 14:27	And when they had come, and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Acts 14:28	And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
Acts 15:1	And some men came down from Judæa and taught the brothers, saying, Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.
Acts 15:2	And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, the brothers appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Acts 15:3	They therefore, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all the brothers.
Acts 15:4	And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
Acts 15:5	But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Torah of Moses.
Acts 15:6	And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter.
Acts 15:7	And when there had been much debate, Peter rose up, and said to them, Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Acts 15:8	And God, who knows the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us;
Acts 15:9	and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Acts 15:10	Now therefore why do you put God to the test, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Acts 15:11	But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, in the same way as they.
Acts 15:12	And all the multitude kept silent; and they listened to Barnabas and Paul relating what signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
Acts 15:13	And after they had finished speaking, James answered, saying, Brothers, listen to me:
Acts 15:14	Symeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Acts 15:15	And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Acts 15:16	After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which has fallen; And I will build again its ruins, And I will set it up:
Acts 15:17	That the rest of mankind may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
Acts 15:18	Says Yehovah, who makes these things known from of old.
Acts 15:19	Therefore my judgment is, that we do not trouble those who from among the Gentiles turn to God;
Acts 15:20	but that we write to them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Acts 15:21	For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
Acts 15:22	Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers:
Acts 15:23	and they wrote this by them, The apostles and the elders, brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
Acts 15:24	Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;
Acts 15:25	it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Acts 15:26	men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Acts 15:27	We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Acts 15:28	For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
Acts 15:29	that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if you keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Farewell.
Acts 15:30	So they, when they were sent off, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Acts 15:31	And when they had read it, they rejoiced at the encouragement.
Acts 15:32	And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
Acts 15:33	And after they had spent some time there, they were sent off in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them.
Acts 15:34	
Acts 15:35	But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Acts 15:36	And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.
Acts 15:37	And Barnabas wanted to take with them John also, who was called Mark.
Acts 15:38	But Paul did not think it good to take with them him who withdrew from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work.
Acts 15:39	And there arose a sharp contention, so that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus:
Acts 15:40	but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
Acts 15:41	And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Acts 16:1	And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
Acts 16:2	He was well spoken of by the brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium.
Acts 16:3	Paul wanted him to go out with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Acts 16:4	And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Acts 16:5	So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Acts 16:6	And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Acts 16:7	and when they had come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Yeshua did not allow them;
Acts 16:8	and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Acts 16:9	And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, pleading with him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Acts 16:10	And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Acts 16:11	Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis;
Acts 16:12	and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony: and we were staying in this city some days.
Acts 16:13	And on the sabbath day we went out outside the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
Acts 16:14	And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to pay attention to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Acts 16:15	And when she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay there. And she prevailed upon us.
Acts 16:16	And it happened, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain slave girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune-telling.
Acts 16:17	She, following after Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.
Acts 16:18	And this she did for many days. But Paul, being greatly troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Yeshua Messiah to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Acts 16:19	But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
Acts 16:20	and when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, are greatly troubling our city,
Acts 16:21	and proclaim customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
Acts 16:22	And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore their garments off them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Acts 16:23	And when they had laid many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them safely:
Acts 16:24	who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Acts 16:25	But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Acts 16:26	and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and everyone’s bonds were loosed.
Acts 16:27	And the jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Acts 16:28	But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.
Acts 16:29	And he called for lights and rushed in, and, trembling with fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
Acts 16:30	and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Acts 16:31	And they said, Believe in the Lord Yeshua, and you shall be saved, you and your house.
Acts 16:32	And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, with all who were in his house.
Acts 16:33	And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Acts 16:34	And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
Acts 16:35	But when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go.
Acts 16:36	And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Acts 16:37	But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? no indeed; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Acts 16:38	And the officers reported these words to the magistrates: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans;
Acts 16:39	and they came and appealed to them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
Acts 16:40	And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
Acts 17:1	Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews:
Acts 17:2	and Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures,
Acts 17:3	explaining and demonstrating that it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Yeshua, whom, he said, I proclaim to you, is the Messiah.
Acts 17:4	And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the leading women not a few.
Acts 17:5	But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took to them some wicked men of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
Acts 17:6	And when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, These who have turned the world upside down have come here also;
Acts 17:7	whom Jason has received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Yeshua.
Acts 17:8	And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
Acts 17:9	And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Acts 17:10	And the brothers immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Beroea: who when they had come there went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Acts 17:11	Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
Acts 17:12	Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of high standing, and of men, not a few.
Acts 17:13	But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.
Acts 17:14	And then immediately the brothers sent Paul out to go as far as the sea: and Silas and Timothy remained there still.
Acts 17:15	But those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
Acts 17:16	Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
Acts 17:17	So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
Acts 17:18	And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? others, He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods: because he preached Yeshua and the resurrection.
Acts 17:19	And they took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
Acts 17:20	For you bring some strange things to our ears: we want to know therefore what these things mean.
Acts 17:21	(Now all the Athenians and the foreigners living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.)
Acts 17:22	And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, You men of Athens, in all things I perceive that you are very religious.
Acts 17:23	For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you.
Acts 17:24	The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;
Acts 17:25	neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
Acts 17:26	and he made from one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their habitation;
Acts 17:27	that they should seek God, if perhaps they might feel their way toward him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:
Acts 17:28	for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as some even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Acts 17:29	Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and the imagination of man.
Acts 17:30	The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commands men that they should all everywhere repent:
Acts 17:31	because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.
Acts 17:32	Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear you concerning this again.
Acts 17:33	So Paul went out from among them.
Acts 17:34	But some men clung to him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Acts 18:1	After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Acts 18:2	And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came to them;
Acts 18:3	and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them, and they worked; for by their trade they were tentmakers.
Acts 18:4	And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Acts 18:5	But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Acts 18:6	And when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from now on I will go to the Gentiles.
Acts 18:7	And he departed from there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Acts 18:8	And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
Acts 18:9	And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent:
Acts 18:10	for I am with you, and no man shall attack you to harm you: for I have many people in this city.
Acts 18:11	And he lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Acts 18:12	But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Acts 18:13	saying, This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the Torah.
Acts 18:14	But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villainy, O you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you:
Acts 18:15	but if they are questions about words and names and your own Torah, see to it yourselves; I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.
Acts 18:16	And he drove them from the judgment seat.
Acts 18:17	And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.
Acts 18:18	And Paul, having stayed after this many days longer, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having cut his hair in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow.
Acts 18:19	And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Acts 18:20	And when they asked him to stay a longer time, he did not consent;
Acts 18:21	but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again to you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
Acts 18:22	And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Acts 18:23	And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Acts 18:24	Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.
Acts 18:25	This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, knowing only the baptism of John:
Acts 18:26	and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Acts 18:27	And when he wanted to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Acts 18:28	for he powerfully refuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Acts 19:1	And it happened, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found some disciples:
Acts 19:2	and he said to them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? And they said to him, No, we have not even heard whether the Holy Spirit was given.
Acts 19:3	And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism.
Acts 19:4	And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in him who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua.
Acts 19:5	And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Acts 19:6	And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
Acts 19:7	And they were in all about twelve men.
Acts 19:8	And he entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading as to the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:9	But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Acts 19:10	And this continued for two years; so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 19:11	And God did extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul:
Acts 19:12	so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
Acts 19:13	But some of the traveling Jews, exorcists, also undertook to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, I adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches.
Acts 19:14	And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.
Acts 19:15	And the evil spirit answered and said to them, Yeshua I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
Acts 19:16	And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overpowered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Acts 19:17	And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
Acts 19:18	Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
Acts 19:19	And not a few of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Acts 19:20	So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed.
Acts 19:21	Now after these things were ended, Paul resolved in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
Acts 19:22	And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
Acts 19:23	And about that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Acts 19:24	For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business to the craftsmen;
Acts 19:25	whom he gathered together, with the workmen of similar trades, and said, Men, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
Acts 19:26	And you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods:
Acts 19:27	and not only is there danger that this trade of ours may come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana may be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worships.
Acts 19:28	And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Acts 19:29	And the city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s traveling companions.
Acts 19:30	And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
Acts 19:31	And some of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
Acts 19:32	Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and most of them did not know why they had come together.
Acts 19:33	And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make a defense to the people.
Acts 19:34	But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Acts 19:35	And when the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he says, You men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Acts 19:36	Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
Acts 19:37	For you have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
Acts 19:38	If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a complaint against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Acts 19:39	But if you seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly.
Acts 19:40	For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause for it: and regarding it we shall not be able to give account of this disorderly gathering.
Acts 19:41	And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Acts 20:1	And after the uproar had ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
Acts 20:2	And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.
Acts 20:3	And when he had spent three months there, and a plot was laid against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
Acts 20:4	And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
Acts 20:5	But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.
Acts 20:6	And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; where we stayed seven days.
Acts 20:7	And on the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and prolonged his speech until midnight.
Acts 20:8	And there were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
Acts 20:9	And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, overcome by deep sleep; and as Paul talked still longer, being overcome by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
Acts 20:10	And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Do not be alarmed; for his life is in him.
Acts 20:11	And when he had gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until daybreak, so he departed.
Acts 20:12	And they brought the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.
Acts 20:13	But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there: for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land.
Acts 20:14	And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
Acts 20:15	And sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.
Acts 20:16	For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Acts 20:17	And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the assembly.
Acts 20:18	And when they had come to him, he said to them, You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
Acts 20:19	serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with tears, and with trials which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;
Acts 20:20	how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,
Acts 20:21	testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Acts 20:22	And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall happen to me there:
Acts 20:23	except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
Acts 20:24	But I do not hold my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Yeshua, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:25	And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.
Acts 20:26	Therefore I testify to you this day, that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
Acts 20:27	For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
Acts 20:28	Pay attention to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.
Acts 20:29	I know that after my departure fierce wolves shall come in among you, not sparing the flock;
Acts 20:30	and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
Acts 20:31	Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
Acts 20:32	And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Acts 20:33	I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or clothing.
Acts 20:34	You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.
Acts 20:35	In all things I gave you an example, that by laboring in this way you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Acts 20:36	And when he had spoken this, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Acts 20:37	And they all wept greatly, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
Acts 20:38	sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
Acts 21:1	And when it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
Acts 21:2	and having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Acts 21:3	And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Acts 21:4	And having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
Acts 21:5	And when it happened that we had completed the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and said farewell to each other;
Acts 21:6	and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
Acts 21:7	And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
Acts 21:8	And on the next day we departed, and came to Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.
Acts 21:9	Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.
Acts 21:10	And as we stayed there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Acts 21:11	And coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Acts 21:12	And when we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:13	Then Paul answered, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Acts 21:14	And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Acts 21:15	And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:16	And there went with us also some of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
Acts 21:17	And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Acts 21:18	And the following day Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Acts 21:19	And when he had greeted them, he related one by one the things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Acts 21:20	And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said to him, You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed; and they are all zealous for the Torah:
Acts 21:21	and they have been informed concerning you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
Acts 21:22	What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that you have come.
Acts 21:23	Do therefore this that we say to you: We have four men who have a vow on them;
Acts 21:24	take these, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things of which they have been informed concerning you; but that you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the Torah.
Acts 21:25	But as concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
Acts 21:26	Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, giving notice of the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Acts 21:27	And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Acts 21:28	crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Torah, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and has defiled this holy place.
Acts 21:29	For they had previously seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
Acts 21:30	And all the city was stirred, and the people ran together; and they seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.
Acts 21:31	And as they were seeking to kill him, word came up to the commander of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Acts 21:32	And immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the commander and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Acts 21:33	Then the commander came near, and seized him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Acts 21:34	And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Acts 21:35	And when he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Acts 21:36	for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
Acts 21:37	And as Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he says to the commander, May I say something to you? And he said, Do you know Greek?
Acts 21:38	Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
Acts 21:39	But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city: and I beg you, permit me to speak to the people.
Acts 21:40	And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned with his hand to the people; and when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Acts 22:1	Brothers and fathers, hear the defense which I now make to you.
Acts 22:2	And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they became all the more quiet: and he says,
Acts 22:3	I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the Torah of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are this day:
Acts 22:4	and I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Acts 22:5	As also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders: from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and journeyed to Damascus to bring those also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
Acts 22:6	And it happened, that, as I made my journey, and drew near to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light around me.
Acts 22:7	And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
Acts 22:8	And I answered, Who are you, Lord? And he said to me, I am Yeshua of Nazareth, whom you persecute.
Acts 22:9	And those who were with me saw indeed the light, but they did not hear the voice of him who spoke to me.
Acts 22:10	And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told you of all things which are appointed for you to do.
Acts 22:11	And when I could not see because of the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me I came into Damascus.
Acts 22:12	And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Torah, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,
Acts 22:13	came to me, and standing by me said to me, Brother Saul, receive your sight. And in that very hour I looked up at him.
Acts 22:14	And he said, The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
Acts 22:15	For you shall be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Acts 22:16	And now why do you wait? arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.
Acts 22:17	And it happened, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,
Acts 22:18	and saw him saying to me, Hurry, and get out of Jerusalem quickly; because they will not receive your testimony concerning me.
Acts 22:19	And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those believing in you:
Acts 22:20	and when the blood of Stephen your witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of those who killed him.
Acts 22:21	And he said to me, Depart: for I will send you far away from here to the Gentiles.
Acts 22:22	And they listened to him up to this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
Acts 22:23	And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
Acts 22:24	the commander commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what reason they so shouted against him.
Acts 22:25	And when they had stretched him out with the straps, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Acts 22:26	And when the centurion heard it, he went to the commander and told him, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman.
Acts 22:27	And the commander came and said to him, Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.
Acts 22:28	And the commander answered, With a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was born a Roman.
Acts 22:29	Then those who were about to examine him immediately departed from him: and the commander also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Acts 22:30	But on the next day, desiring to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
Acts 23:1	And Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.
Acts 23:2	And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Acts 23:3	Then Paul said to him, God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall: and do you sit to judge me according to the Torah, and command me to be struck contrary to the Torah?
Acts 23:4	And those who stood by said, Do you revile God’s high priest?
Acts 23:5	And Paul said, I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest: for it is written, You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.
Acts 23:6	But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Acts 23:7	And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.
Acts 23:8	For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.
Acts 23:9	And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up, and contended sharply, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?
Acts 23:10	And when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
Acts 23:11	And the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Take courage: for as you have testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must you bear witness also at Rome.
Acts 23:12	And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
Acts 23:13	And there were more than forty who made this conspiracy.
Acts 23:14	And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
Acts 23:15	Now therefore you with the council notify the commander that he bring him down to you, as though you would judge his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to kill him.
Acts 23:16	But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their ambush, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Acts 23:17	And Paul called to him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man to the commander; for he has something to tell him.
Acts 23:18	So he took him, and brought him to the commander, and says, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to say to you.
Acts 23:19	And the commander took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that you have to tell me?
Acts 23:20	And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring down Paul tomorrow to the council, as though you would inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.
Acts 23:21	Therefore do not yield to them: for more than forty of their men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him: and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.
Acts 23:22	So the commander let the young man go, commanding him, Tell no man that you have informed me of these things.
Acts 23:23	And he called to him two of the centurions, and said, Get ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Cæsarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at the third hour of the night:
Acts 23:24	and he told them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on them, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Acts 23:25	And he wrote a letter in this form:
Acts 23:26	Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
Acts 23:27	This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
Acts 23:28	And desiring to know the reason why they accused him, I brought him down to their council:
Acts 23:29	whom I found to be accused about questions of their Torah, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
Acts 23:30	And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, commanding his accusers also to speak against him before you.
Acts 23:31	So the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Acts 23:32	But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks:
Acts 23:33	and they, when they came to Cæsarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Acts 23:34	And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
Acts 23:35	I will hear you fully, he said, when your accusers also have come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s palace.
Acts 24:1	And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, and with an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
Acts 24:2	And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your providence evils are corrected for this nation,
Acts 24:3	we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Acts 24:4	But, that I may not weary you further, I beg you to hear us briefly in your kindness.
Acts 24:5	For we have found this man a plague, and a stirrer of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Acts 24:6	who moreover attempted to profane the temple: whom also we seized:
Acts 24:7	
Acts 24:8	from whom you will be able, by examining him yourself, to learn of all these things of which we accuse him.
Acts 24:9	And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.
Acts 24:10	And when the governor had motioned to him to speak, Paul answered, Since I know that you have been for many years a judge to this nation, I cheerfully make my defense:
Acts 24:11	seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:
Acts 24:12	and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.
Acts 24:13	Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Acts 24:14	But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Torah, and which are written in the prophets;
Acts 24:15	having hope toward God, which these themselves also look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.
Acts 24:16	In this I also exercise myself to have a conscience without offense toward God and men always.
Acts 24:17	Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:
Acts 24:18	in the midst of which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor with tumult: but there were some Jews from Asia—
Acts 24:19	who ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
Acts 24:20	Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council,
Acts 24:21	unless it is for this one statement, that I cried out standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day.
Acts 24:22	But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.
Acts 24:23	And he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody, and should have some freedom; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister to him.
Acts 24:24	But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewish woman, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Messiah Yeshua.
Acts 24:25	And as he reasoned about righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go away for now; and when I have a convenient time, I will call you to me.
Acts 24:26	He hoped at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: therefore he also sent for him more often, and conversed with him.
Acts 24:27	But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Acts 25:1	Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea.
Acts 25:2	And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they urged him,
Acts 25:3	asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.
Acts 25:4	However, Festus answered that Paul was kept in custody at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart there shortly.
Acts 25:5	Let them therefore, he says, who are in authority among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.
Acts 25:6	And when he had stayed among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Cæsarea; and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Acts 25:7	And when he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and serious charges which they could not prove;
Acts 25:8	while Paul said in his defense, Neither against the Torah of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cæsar, have I sinned at all.
Acts 25:9	But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me?
Acts 25:10	But Paul said, I am standing before Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews I have done no wrong, as you also very well know.
Acts 25:11	If then I am a wrongdoer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Cæsar.
Acts 25:12	Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, You have appealed to Cæsar: to Cæsar shall you go.
Acts 25:13	Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cæsarea, and greeted Festus.
Acts 25:14	And as they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Acts 25:15	about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for sentence against him.
Acts 25:16	To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man before the accused has the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Acts 25:17	When therefore they had come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Acts 25:18	Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;
Acts 25:19	but had some questions against him about their own religion, and about one Yeshua, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Acts 25:20	And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Acts 25:21	But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Cæsar.
Acts 25:22	And Agrippa said to Festus, I also would like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, he says, you shall hear him.
Acts 25:23	So on the next day, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanders and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
Acts 25:24	And Festus says, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Acts 25:25	But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
Acts 25:26	Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, king Agrippa, that, after examination has been made, I may have something to write.
Acts 25:27	For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not also to indicate the charges against him.
Acts 26:1	And Agrippa said to Paul, You are permitted to speak for yourself. Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense:
Acts 26:2	I consider myself fortunate, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews:
Acts 26:3	especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Acts 26:4	My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem, all the Jews know;
Acts 26:5	having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.
Acts 26:6	And now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;
Acts 26:7	to which promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!
Acts 26:8	Why is it judged incredible by you, if God raises the dead?
Acts 26:9	I truly thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Yeshua of Nazareth.
Acts 26:10	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 put to death I gave my vote against them.
Acts 26:11	And punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Acts 26:12	In this connection, as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
Acts 26:13	at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me.
Acts 26:14	And when we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? it is hard for you to kick against the goads.
Acts 26:15	And I said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Yeshua whom you persecute.
Acts 26:16	But arise, and stand upon your feet: for to this end I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness both of the things in which you have seen me, and of the things in which I will appear to you;
Acts 26:17	delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Acts 26:18	to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
Acts 26:19	Therefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:
Acts 26:20	but declared both to those of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judæa, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Acts 26:21	For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple, and tried to kill me.
Acts 26:22	Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come;
Acts 26:23	that the Messiah must suffer, and that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.
Acts 26:24	And as he was making his defense this way, Festus says with a loud voice, Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you mad.
Acts 26:25	But Paul says, I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus; but I speak words of truth and soberness.
Acts 26:26	For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this has not been done in a corner.
Acts 26:27	King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.
Acts 26:28	And Agrippa said to Paul, With but little persuasion you would make me a Christian.
Acts 26:29	And Paul said, I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.
Acts 26:30	And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them:
Acts 26:31	and when they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
Acts 26:32	And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been set free, if he had not appealed to Cæsar.
Acts 27:1	And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.
Acts 27:2	And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Acts 27:3	And the next day we put in at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and be cared for.
Acts 27:4	And putting to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Acts 27:5	And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Acts 27:6	And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us on board it.
Acts 27:7	And when we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us to go further, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, opposite Salmone;
Acts 27:8	and with difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens; near which was the city of Lasea.
Acts 27:9	And when much time had been spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Acts 27:10	and said to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
Acts 27:11	But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
Acts 27:12	And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to put to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a harbor of Crete, facing northeast and southeast.
Acts 27:13	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
Acts 27:14	But not long after there rushed down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
Acts 27:15	and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.
Acts 27:16	And running under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
Acts 27:17	and when they had hoisted it up, they used supports, undergirding the ship; and, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
Acts 27:18	And as we were violently tossed by the storm, the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard;
Acts 27:19	and the third day they threw out with their own hands the tackle of the ship.
Acts 27:20	And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
Acts 27:21	And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood up in the midst of them, and said, Men, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.
Acts 27:22	And now I urge you to take courage; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Acts 27:23	For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
Acts 27:24	saying, Do not fear, Paul; you must stand before Cæsar: and behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.
Acts 27:25	Therefore, men, take courage: for I believe God, that it shall be just as it has been spoken to me.
Acts 27:26	But we must run aground on a certain island.
Acts 27:27	But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were drawing near to some land:
Acts 27:28	and they took soundings, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Acts 27:29	And fearing that we might run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.
Acts 27:30	And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under pretense as though they would lay out anchors from the bow,
Acts 27:31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these remain in the ship, you cannot be saved.
Acts 27:32	Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Acts 27:33	And while the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
Acts 27:34	Therefore I urge you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for not a hair shall perish from the head of any of you.
Acts 27:35	And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he broke it, and began to eat.
Acts 27:36	Then they all took courage, and they themselves also took food.
Acts 27:37	And we were in all in the ship two hundred seventy-six souls.
Acts 27:38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Acts 27:39	And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
Acts 27:40	And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
Acts 27:41	But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
Acts 27:42	And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Acts 27:43	But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard, and get to the land first;
Acts 27:44	and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it happened, that they all escaped safely to the land.
Acts 28:1	And when we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Melita.
Acts 28:2	And the natives showed us unusual kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the falling rain, and because of the cold.
Acts 28:3	But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Acts 28:4	And when the natives saw the venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.
Acts 28:5	However, he shook off the creature into the fire, and suffered no harm.
Acts 28:6	But they expected that he would swell up, or suddenly fall down dead: but when they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
Acts 28:7	Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us courteously three days.
Acts 28:8	And it happened, that the father of Publius lay sick with fever and dysentery: to whom Paul went in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.
Acts 28:9	And when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured:
Acts 28:10	who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.
Acts 28:11	And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.
Acts 28:12	And putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Acts 28:13	And from there we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;
Acts 28:14	where we found brothers, and were invited to stay with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.
Acts 28:15	And from there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
Acts 28:16	And when we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Acts 28:17	And it happened, that after three days he called together those who were the leaders of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:
Acts 28:18	who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Acts 28:19	But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Cæsar; not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation.
Acts 28:20	For this reason therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
Acts 28:21	And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judæa concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any harm of you.
Acts 28:22	But we desire to hear from you what you think: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.
Acts 28:23	And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him at his lodging in great numbers; to whom he explained the matter, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Yeshua, both from the Torah of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Acts 28:24	And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Acts 28:25	And when they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,
Acts 28:26	saying, Go to this people, and say, By hearing you shall hear, and shall by no means understand; And seeing you shall see, and shall by no means perceive:
Acts 28:27	For this people’s heart has grown dull, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest perhaps they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
Acts 28:28	Let it be known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles: they will also hear.
Acts 28:29	
Acts 28:30	And he stayed two whole years in his own rented dwelling, and received all who came in to him,
Acts 28:31	preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Yeshua Messiah with all boldness, no one forbidding him.
Romans 1:1	Paul, a servant of Yeshua Messiah, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,
Romans 1:2	which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
Romans 1:3	concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Romans 1:4	who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Yeshua Messiah our Lord,
Romans 1:5	through whom we received grace and apostleship, to obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;
Romans 1:6	among whom are you also, called to be Yeshua Messiah’s:
Romans 1:7	to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Romans 1:8	First, I thank my God through Yeshua Messiah for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Romans 1:9	For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
Romans 1:10	making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
Romans 1:11	For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established;
Romans 1:12	that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
Romans 1:13	And I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that often I purposed to come to you (and was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
Romans 1:14	I am a debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Romans 1:15	So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
Romans 1:16	For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17	For in it is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.
Romans 1:18	For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;
Romans 1:19	because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it to them.
Romans 1:20	For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:
Romans 1:21	because, knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor give thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22	Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23	and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:24	Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:
Romans 1:25	because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 1:26	For this cause God gave them up to vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans 1:27	and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.
Romans 1:28	And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Romans 1:29	being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans 1:30	backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 1:31	without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
Romans 1:32	who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practice them.
Romans 2:1	Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges: for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.
Romans 2:2	And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
Romans 2:3	And do you reckon this, O man, who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
Romans 2:4	Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
Romans 2:5	but according to your hardness and impenitent heart you treasure up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Romans 2:6	who will render to every man according to his works:
Romans 2:7	to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:
Romans 2:8	but to those who are factious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation,
Romans 2:9	tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man who works evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;
Romans 2:10	but glory and honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
Romans 2:11	for there is no partiality with God.
Romans 2:12	For as many as have sinned without the Torah shall also perish without the Torah: and as many as have sinned under the Torah shall be judged by the Torah;
Romans 2:13	for not the hearers of the Torah are just before God, but the doers of the Torah shall be justified;
Romans 2:14	(for when Gentiles who do not have the Torah do by nature the things of the Torah, these, not having the Torah, are a law to themselves;
Romans 2:15	in that they show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness with it, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them);
Romans 2:16	in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Yeshua Messiah.
Romans 2:17	But if you bear the name of a Jew, and rest upon the Torah, and glory in God,
Romans 2:18	and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the Torah,
Romans 2:19	and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
Romans 2:20	a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the Torah the form of knowledge and of the truth;
Romans 2:21	you therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? you who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
Romans 2:22	you who say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Romans 2:23	you who glory in the Torah, through your transgression of the Torah do you dishonor God?
Romans 2:24	For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.
Romans 2:25	For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the Torah: but if you are a transgressor of the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Romans 2:26	If therefore the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Torah, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
Romans 2:27	and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Torah, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the Torah?
Romans 2:28	For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29	but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 3:1	What advantage then has the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?
Romans 3:2	Much in every way: first of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Romans 3:3	For what if some were without faith? shall their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Romans 3:4	God forbid: indeed, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your words, And might prevail when you come into judgment.
Romans 3:5	But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visits with wrath? (I speak in the manner of men.)
Romans 3:6	God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Romans 3:7	But if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:8	and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
Romans 3:9	What then? are we better than they? No, not at all: for we have already charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;
Romans 3:10	as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
Romans 3:11	There is none who understands, There is none who seeks after God;
Romans 3:12	They have all turned aside, they have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not so much as one:
Romans 3:13	Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
Romans 3:14	Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Romans 3:15	Their feet are swift to shed blood;
Romans 3:16	Destruction and misery are in their ways;
Romans 3:17	And the way of peace they have not known:
Romans 3:18	There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans 3:19	Now we know that whatever things the Torah says, it speaks to those who are under the Torah; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:
Romans 3:20	because by the works of the Torah shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the Torah comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21	But now apart from the Torah a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Torah and the prophets;
Romans 3:22	even the righteousness of God through faith in Yeshua Messiah to all those believing; for there is no distinction;
Romans 3:23	for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:24	being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua:
Romans 3:25	whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done previously, in the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:26	for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present time: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Yeshua.
Romans 3:27	Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? of works? No: but by a law of faith.
Romans 3:28	We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the Torah.
Romans 3:29	Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also:
Romans 3:30	since indeed God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
Romans 3:31	Do we then make the Torah of none effect through faith? God forbid: no, we establish the Torah.
Romans 4:1	What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
Romans 4:2	For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to glory in; but not toward God.
Romans 4:3	For what says the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:4	Now to the one who works, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.
Romans 4:5	But to the one not working, but believing in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
Romans 4:6	Even as David also pronounces blessing upon the man, to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works,
Romans 4:7	saying, Blessed are they whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
Romans 4:8	Blessed is the man to whom Yehovah will not reckon sin.
Romans 4:9	Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.
Romans 4:10	How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:
Romans 4:11	and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all those believing, though they are in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them;
Romans 4:12	and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
Romans 4:13	For not through the Torah was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:14	For if those who are of the Torah are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is nullified:
Romans 4:15	for the Torah works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
Romans 4:16	For this reason it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; so that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the Torah, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
Romans 4:17	(as it is written, A father of many nations I have made you) before him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
Romans 4:18	Who in hope believed against hope, so that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall your seed be.
Romans 4:19	And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb;
Romans 4:20	yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
Romans 4:21	and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Romans 4:22	Therefore also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:23	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned to him;
Romans 4:24	but for our sake also, to whom it shall be reckoned, those believing in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead,
Romans 4:25	who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.
Romans 5:1	Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Yeshua Messiah;
Romans 5:2	through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3	And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation works steadfastness;
Romans 5:4	and steadfastness, proven character; and proven character, hope:
Romans 5:5	and hope does not put to shame; because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5:6	For while we were yet weak, in due season Messiah died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:7	For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for perhaps for the good man someone would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8	But God commends his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us.
Romans 5:9	Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.
Romans 5:10	For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;
Romans 5:11	and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua Messiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
Romans 5:12	Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned:—
Romans 5:13	for until the Torah sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Romans 5:14	Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him who was to come.
Romans 5:15	But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Yeshua Messiah, abound to the many.
Romans 5:16	And not as through one who sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.
Romans 5:17	For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Yeshua Messiah.
Romans 5:18	So then as through one trespass the judgment came to all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came to all men to justification of life.
Romans 5:19	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.
Romans 5:20	And the Torah came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more:
Romans 5:21	that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Yeshua Messiah our Lord.
Romans 6:1	What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2	God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live in it?
Romans 6:3	Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Messiah Yeshua were baptized into his death?
Romans 6:4	We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that just as Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5	For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;
Romans 6:6	knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
Romans 6:7	for he who has died is justified from sin.
Romans 6:8	But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with him;
Romans 6:9	knowing that Messiah being raised from the dead dies no more; death no more has dominion over him.
Romans 6:10	For the death that he died, he died to sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
Romans 6:11	Even so you also reckon yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua.
Romans 6:12	Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey its lusts:
Romans 6:13	neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
Romans 6:14	For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under Torah, but under grace.
Romans 6:15	What then? shall we sin, because we are not under Torah, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans 6:16	Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
Romans 6:17	But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were servants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered;
Romans 6:18	and being made free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
Romans 6:19	I speak in the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh: for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to lawlessness to lawlessness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness to sanctification.
Romans 6:20	For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
Romans 6:21	What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Romans 6:22	But now having been made free from sin and having become servants to God, you have your fruit to sanctification, and the end eternal life.
Romans 6:23	For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
Romans 7:1	Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the Torah), that the Torah has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
Romans 7:2	For the woman who has a husband is bound by the Torah to the husband while he lives; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.
Romans 7:3	So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband dies, she is free from the Torah, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
Romans 7:4	Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Torah through the body of Messiah; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
Romans 7:5	For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the Torah, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
Romans 7:6	But now we have been discharged from the Torah, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:7	What shall we say then? Is the Torah sin? God forbid. However, I would not have known sin, except through the Torah: for I would not have known coveting, unless the Torah had said, You shall not covet:
Romans 7:8	but sin, finding occasion, worked in me through the commandment all kinds of coveting: for apart from the Torah sin is dead.
Romans 7:9	And I was alive apart from the Torah once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
Romans 7:10	and the commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death:
Romans 7:11	for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.
Romans 7:12	So that the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Romans 7:13	Did then that which is good become death to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good;—that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
Romans 7:14	For we know that the Torah is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 7:15	For that which I do I do not know: for not what I want, that I practice; but what I hate, that I do.
Romans 7:16	But if what I do not want, that I do, I consent to the Torah that it is good.
Romans 7:17	So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Romans 7:18	For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.
Romans 7:19	For the good which I want I do not do: but the evil which I do not want, that I practice.
Romans 7:20	But if what I do not want, that I do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Romans 7:21	I find then this principle, that, to me who wants to do good, evil is present.
Romans 7:22	For I delight in the Torah of God according to the inward man:
Romans 7:23	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 in my members.
Romans 7:24	Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
Romans 7:25	I thank God through Yeshua Messiah our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the Torah of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1	There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua.
Romans 8:2	For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Romans 8:3	For what the Torah could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans 8:4	that the ordinance of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:5	For those who are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Romans 8:6	For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
Romans 8:7	because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Torah of God, neither indeed can it be:
Romans 8:8	and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:9	But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Messiah, he is not his.
Romans 8:10	And if Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:11	But if the Spirit of him who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Messiah Yeshua from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:12	So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh:
Romans 8:13	for if you live according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
Romans 8:14	For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:15	For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans 8:16	The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
Romans 8:17	and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Messiah; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
Romans 8:18	For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us.
Romans 8:19	For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Romans 8:20	For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
Romans 8:21	that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
Romans 8:22	For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
Romans 8:23	And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, that is, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:24	For in hope we were saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees?
Romans 8:25	But if we hope for that which we do not see, then with patience we wait for it.
Romans 8:26	And in like manner the Spirit also helps our weakness: for we do not know how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;
Romans 8:27	and he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans 8:28	And we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:29	For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers:
Romans 8:30	and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8:31	What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Romans 8:32	He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
Romans 8:33	Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God who justifies;
Romans 8:34	who is he who condemns? It is Messiah Yeshua who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Romans 8:35	Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans 8:36	Even as it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Romans 8:37	No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Romans 8:38	For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Romans 8:39	nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
Romans 9:1	I speak the truth in Messiah, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
Romans 9:2	that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
Romans 9:3	For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Messiah for my brothers’ sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Romans 9:4	who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Romans 9:5	whose are the fathers, and of whom is Messiah as concerning the flesh. God who is over all be blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 9:6	But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:
Romans 9:7	neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
Romans 9:8	That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
Romans 9:9	For this is a word of promise, According to this season I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Romans 9:10	And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac—
Romans 9:11	for the children being not yet born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
Romans 9:12	it was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Romans 9:13	Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
Romans 9:14	What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Romans 9:15	For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
Romans 9:16	So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
Romans 9:17	For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I raised you up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
Romans 9:18	So then he has mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.
Romans 9:19	You will say then to me, Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?
Romans 9:20	No but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did you make me like this?
Romans 9:21	Or does the potter not have a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
Romans 9:22	What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Romans 9:23	and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
Romans 9:24	even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
Romans 9:25	As he says also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, who was not beloved.
Romans 9:26	And it shall be, that in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, There they shall be called sons of the living God.
Romans 9:27	And Isaiah cries concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
Romans 9:28	for Yehovah will execute his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
Romans 9:29	And, as Isaiah has said before, Unless Yehovah of hosts had left us a seed, We would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.
Romans 9:30	What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
Romans 9:31	but Israel, following after the Torah of righteousness, did not arrive at that Torah.
Romans 9:32	Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
Romans 9:33	even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense: And the one believing in him shall not be put to shame.
Romans 10:1	Brothers, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.
Romans 10:2	For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans 10:3	For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:4	For Messiah is the goal of the Torah to righteousness to everyone believing.
Romans 10:5	For Moses writes that the man who does the righteousness which is of the Torah shall live by it.
Romans 10:6	But the righteousness which is of faith says this, Do not say in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down:)
Romans 10:7	or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)
Romans 10:8	But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:
Romans 10:9	because if you confess with your mouth Yeshua as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:
Romans 10:10	for with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation.
Romans 10:11	For the scripture says, Everyone believing in him shall not be put to shame.
Romans 10:12	For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call upon him:
Romans 10:13	for, Whoever shall call upon the name of Yehovah shall be saved.
Romans 10:14	How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans 10:15	and how shall they preach, unless they are sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:16	But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?
Romans 10:17	So belief comes of hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.
Romans 10:18	But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, truly, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.
Romans 10:19	But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding I will anger you.
Romans 10:20	And Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found by those who did not seek me; I became manifest to those who did not ask for me.
Romans 10:21	But as to Israel he says, All the day long I spread out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.
Romans 11:1	I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Romans 11:2	God did not cast off his people whom he foreknew. Or do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? how he pleads with God against Israel:
Romans 11:3	Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have dug down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Romans 11:4	But what does the answer of God say to him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Romans 11:5	Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Romans 11:6	But if it is by grace, it is no longer of works: otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Romans 11:7	What then? That which Israel seeks for, he did not obtain; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
Romans 11:8	just as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.
Romans 11:9	And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumbling block, and a recompense to them:
Romans 11:10	Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow down their back always.
Romans 11:11	I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12	Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
Romans 11:13	But I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
Romans 11:14	if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
Romans 11:15	For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Romans 11:16	And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:17	But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18	do not glory over the branches: but if you glory, it is not you who bear the root, but the root you.
Romans 11:19	You will say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Romans 11:20	Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be highminded, but fear:
Romans 11:21	for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
Romans 11:22	Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, God’s goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.
Romans 11:23	And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Romans 11:24	For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
Romans 11:25	For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a hardening in part has befallen Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
Romans 11:26	and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans 11:27	And this is my covenant to them, When I shall take away their sins.
Romans 11:28	As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
Romans 11:29	For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.
Romans 11:30	For as you in times past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
Romans 11:31	even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32	For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:33	O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond tracing out!
Romans 11:34	For who has known the mind of Yehovah? or who has been his counselor?
Romans 11:35	or who has first given to him, that it shall be repaid to him again?
Romans 11:36	For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.
Romans 12:1	I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
Romans 12:2	And do not be conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:3	For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, just as God has dealt to each man a measure of faith.
Romans 12:4	For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function:
Romans 12:5	so we, who are many, are one body in Messiah, and individually members one of another.
Romans 12:6	And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
Romans 12:7	or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
Romans 12:8	or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9	Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.
Romans 12:10	In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;
Romans 12:11	in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans 12:12	rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Romans 12:13	contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
Romans 12:14	Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
Romans 12:15	Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
Romans 12:16	Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with things that are lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
Romans 12:17	Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.
Romans 12:18	If it is possible, as much as lies in you, be at peace with all men.
Romans 12:19	Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says Yehovah.
Romans 12:20	But if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him a drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire upon his head.
Romans 12:21	Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 13:1	Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but from God; and the powers that be are ordained by God.
Romans 13:2	Therefore he who resists the power, withstands the ordinance of God: and those who withstand shall receive judgment upon themselves.
Romans 13:3	For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And do you want to have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise from the same:
Romans 13:4	for he is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
Romans 13:5	Therefore you must be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Romans 13:6	For because of this you also pay tribute; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing.
Romans 13:7	Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
Romans 13:8	Owe no man anything, except to love one another: for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Torah.
Romans 13:9	For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Romans 13:10	Love works no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfillment of the Torah.
Romans 13:11	And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.
Romans 13:12	The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
Romans 13:13	Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.
Romans 13:14	But put on the Lord Yeshua Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Romans 14:1	But receive him who is weak in faith, yet not for passing judgment on his opinions.
Romans 14:2	One man has faith to eat all things: but he who is weak eats herbs.
Romans 14:3	Do not let him who eats despise him who does not eat; and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats: for God has received him.
Romans 14:4	Who are you who judge the servant of another? to his own lord he stands or falls. Indeed, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord has power to make him stand.
Romans 14:5	One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
Romans 14:6	He who regards the day, regards it to the Lord: and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
Romans 14:7	For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
Romans 14:8	For whether we live, we live to the Lord; or whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:9	For to this end Messiah died and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
Romans 14:10	But you, why do you judge your brother? or you again, why do you despise your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.
Romans 14:11	For it is written, As I live, says Yehovah, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans 14:12	So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 14:13	Therefore let us not judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling.
Romans 14:14	I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Yeshua, that nothing is unclean of itself: except that to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans 14:15	For if because of food your brother is grieved, you no longer walk in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
Romans 14:16	Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil:
Romans 14:17	for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:18	For he who serves Messiah in this is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.
Romans 14:19	So then let us pursue the things which make for peace, and the things by which we may edify one another.
Romans 14:20	Do not overthrow the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean; however it is evil for that man who eats with offense.
Romans 14:21	It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything by which your brother stumbles.
Romans 14:22	The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not judge himself in that which he approves.
Romans 14:23	But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; and whatever is not from faith is sin.
Romans 15:1	Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans 15:2	Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to edification.
Romans 15:3	For Messiah also did not please himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.
Romans 15:4	For whatever things were written previously were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:5	Now may the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Messiah Yeshua:
Romans 15:6	that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Romans 15:7	Therefore receive one another, even as Messiah also received you, to the glory of God.
Romans 15:8	For I say that Messiah has been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
Romans 15:9	and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, And sing to your name.
Romans 15:10	And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.
Romans 15:11	And again, Praise Yehovah, all you Gentiles; And let all the peoples praise him.
Romans 15:12	And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, And he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him the Gentiles shall hope.
Romans 15:13	Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:14	And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Romans 15:15	But I write the more boldly to you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me by God,
Romans 15:16	that I should be a minister of Messiah Yeshua to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:17	Therefore I have my glorying in Messiah Yeshua in things pertaining to God.
Romans 15:18	For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
Romans 15:19	in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and all around even to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Messiah;
Romans 15:20	indeed, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Messiah was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;
Romans 15:21	but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no news of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
Romans 15:22	Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:
Romans 15:23	but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
Romans 15:24	whenever I go to Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)—
Romans 15:25	but now, I say, I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.
Romans 15:26	For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
Romans 15:27	Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister to them in material things.
Romans 15:28	When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you to Spain.
Romans 15:29	And I know that, when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Messiah.
Romans 15:30	Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Yeshua Messiah, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Romans 15:31	that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judæa, and that my ministry which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
Romans 15:32	that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.
Romans 15:33	Now may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Romans 16:1	I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the assembly that is at Cenchreæ:
Romans 16:2	that you receive her in the Lord, in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of myself as well.
Romans 16:3	Greet Prisca and Aquila my fellow workers in Messiah Yeshua,
Romans 16:4	who for my life risked their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles:
Romans 16:5	and greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epænetus my beloved, who is the firstfruits of Asia to Messiah.
Romans 16:6	Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on you.
Romans 16:7	Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Messiah before me.
Romans 16:8	Greet Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.
Romans 16:9	Greet Urbanus our fellow worker in Messiah, and Stachys my beloved.
Romans 16:10	Greet Apelles the approved in Messiah. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.
Romans 16:11	Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
Romans 16:12	Greet Tryphæna and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Greet Persis the beloved, who labored much in the Lord.
Romans 16:13	Greet Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Romans 16:14	Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
Romans 16:15	Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.
Romans 16:16	Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the assemblies of Messiah greet you.
Romans 16:17	Now I urge you, brothers, watch out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned: and turn away from them.
Romans 16:18	For those who are such do not serve our Lord Messiah, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
Romans 16:19	For your obedience has become known to all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I want you to be wise to that which is good, and simple to that which is evil.
Romans 16:20	And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah be with you.
Romans 16:21	Timothy my fellow worker greets you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
Romans 16:22	I Tertius, who write the epistle, greet you in the Lord.
Romans 16:23	Gaius my host, and of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus the treasurer of the city greets you, and Quartus the brother.
Romans 16:24	
Romans 16:25	Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Yeshua Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept in silence through times eternal,
Romans 16:26	but now has been manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations to obedience of faith:
Romans 16:27	to the only wise God, through Yeshua Messiah, to whom be the glory forever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:1	Paul, called to be an apostle of Yeshua Messiah through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1 Corinthians 1:2	to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, even those who are sanctified in Messiah Yeshua, called to be saints, with all who call upon the name of our Lord Yeshua Messiah in every place, their Lord and ours:
1 Corinthians 1:3	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
1 Corinthians 1:4	I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Messiah Yeshua;
1 Corinthians 1:5	that in everything you were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;
1 Corinthians 1:6	even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:
1 Corinthians 1:7	so that you lack no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Yeshua Messiah;
1 Corinthians 1:8	who shall also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
1 Corinthians 1:9	God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Yeshua Messiah our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:10	Now I beseech you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:11	For it has been made known to me concerning you, my brothers, by those who are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1 Corinthians 1:12	Now this I mean, that each one of you says, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Messiah.
1 Corinthians 1:13	Is Messiah divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:14	I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;
1 Corinthians 1:15	lest any man should say that you were baptized into my name.
1 Corinthians 1:16	And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
1 Corinthians 1:17	For Messiah did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Messiah should be made void.
1 Corinthians 1:18	For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing; but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19	For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning I will bring to nothing.
1 Corinthians 1:20	Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
1 Corinthians 1:21	For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
1 Corinthians 1:22	Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians 1:23	but we preach Messiah crucified, to Jews a stumbling block, and to Gentiles foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1:24	but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:25	Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:26	For consider your calling, brothers, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1 Corinthians 1:27	but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame those who are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
1 Corinthians 1:28	and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, God chose, yes, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:
1 Corinthians 1:29	that no flesh should glory before God.
1 Corinthians 1:30	But of him you are in Messiah Yeshua, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:
1 Corinthians 1:31	that, just as it is written, He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 2:1	And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.
1 Corinthians 2:2	For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yeshua Messiah, and him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:3	And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1 Corinthians 2:4	And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1 Corinthians 2:5	that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:6	We speak wisdom, however, among those who are mature: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
1 Corinthians 2:7	but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds to our glory:
1 Corinthians 2:8	which none of the rulers of this world has known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
1 Corinthians 2:9	but as it is written, Things which eye did not see, and ear did not hear, And which did not enter into the heart of man, Whatever things God prepared for those who love him.
1 Corinthians 2:10	But to us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:11	For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knows, except the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:12	But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
1 Corinthians 2:13	Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Spirit teaches; combining spiritual things with spiritual words.
1 Corinthians 2:14	Now the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
1 Corinthians 2:15	But he who is spiritual judges all things, and he himself is judged by no man.
1 Corinthians 2:16	For who has known the mind of Yehovah, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Messiah.
1 Corinthians 3:1	And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to babes in Messiah.
1 Corinthians 3:2	I fed you with milk, not with solid food; for you were not yet able to bear it: no, not even now are you able;
1 Corinthians 3:3	for you are still carnal: for since there is among you jealousy and strife, are you not carnal, and do you not walk according to the manner of men?
1 Corinthians 3:4	For when one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not men?
1 Corinthians 3:5	What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him.
1 Corinthians 3:6	I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7	So then neither is he who plants anything, nor he who waters; but God who gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:8	Now he who plants and he who waters are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
1 Corinthians 3:9	For we are God’s fellow-workers: you are God’s field, God’s building.
1 Corinthians 3:10	According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation; and another builds on it. But let each man take heed how he builds on it.
1 Corinthians 3:11	For no man can lay another foundation than that which is laid, which is Yeshua Messiah.
1 Corinthians 3:12	But if any man builds on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1 Corinthians 3:13	each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is.
1 Corinthians 3:14	If any man’s work which he built on it shall abide, he shall receive a reward.
1 Corinthians 3:15	If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.
1 Corinthians 3:16	Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17	If any man destroys the temple of God, God shall destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are you.
1 Corinthians 3:18	Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
1 Corinthians 3:19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness:
1 Corinthians 3:20	and again, Yehovah knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.
1 Corinthians 3:21	Therefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;
1 Corinthians 3:22	whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1 Corinthians 3:23	and you are Messiah’s; and Messiah is God’s.
1 Corinthians 4:1	Let a man so regard us, as ministers of Messiah, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1 Corinthians 4:2	Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
1 Corinthians 4:3	But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man’s judgment: indeed, I do not judge my own self.
1 Corinthians 4:4	For I know nothing against myself; yet I am not justified by this: but he who judges me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:5	Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then each man shall have his praise from God.
1 Corinthians 4:6	Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us you might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.
1 Corinthians 4:7	For who makes you differ? and what do you have that you did not receive? but if you did receive it, why do you glory as if you had not received it?
1 Corinthians 4:8	Already you are filled, already you have become rich, you have come to reign without us: yes, and I would that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
1 Corinthians 4:9	For, I think, God has set forth us the apostles last of all, as men condemned to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
1 Corinthians 4:10	We are fools for Messiah’s sake, but you are wise in Messiah; we are weak, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have dishonor.
1 Corinthians 4:11	Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;
1 Corinthians 4:12	and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
1 Corinthians 4:13	being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
1 Corinthians 4:14	I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
1 Corinthians 4:15	For though you have ten thousand guardians in Messiah, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Messiah Yeshua I fathered you through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:16	I beseech you therefore, be imitators of me.
1 Corinthians 4:17	For this cause I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Messiah, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
1 Corinthians 4:18	Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
1 Corinthians 4:19	But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills; and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians 4:20	For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
1 Corinthians 4:21	What do you want? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
1 Corinthians 5:1	It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father’s wife.
1 Corinthians 5:2	And you are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he who had done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians 5:3	For I truly, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him who has so done this thing,
1 Corinthians 5:4	in the name of our Lord Yeshua, you being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yeshua,
1 Corinthians 5:5	to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua.
1 Corinthians 5:6	Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:7	Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For our passover also has been sacrificed, even Messiah:
1 Corinthians 5:8	therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 5:9	I wrote to you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;
1 Corinthians 5:10	not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would need to go out of the world:
1 Corinthians 5:11	but as it is, I wrote to you not to keep company, if any man who is named a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat.
1 Corinthians 5:12	For what have I to do with judging those who are outside? Do you not judge those who are within?
1 Corinthians 5:13	But those who are outside God judges. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.
1 Corinthians 6:1	Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:2	Or do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1 Corinthians 6:3	Do you not know that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?
1 Corinthians 6:4	If then you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you set those to judge who are of no account in the assembly?
1 Corinthians 6:5	I say this to move you to shame. What, can there not be found among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brothers,
1 Corinthians 6:6	but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?
1 Corinthians 6:7	No, already it is altogether a defect in you, that you have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded?
1 Corinthians 6:8	No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brothers.
1 Corinthians 6:9	Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor men who lie with males,
1 Corinthians 6:10	nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:11	And such were some of you: but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Yeshua Messiah, and in the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:12	All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1 Corinthians 6:13	Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: but God shall bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:
1 Corinthians 6:14	and God both raised the Lord, and will raise us up through his power.
1 Corinthians 6:15	Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? shall I then take away the members of Messiah, and make them members of a prostitute? God forbid.
1 Corinthians 6:16	Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? for, The two, he says, shall become one flesh.
1 Corinthians 6:17	But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:18	Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body; but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.
1 Corinthians 6:19	Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? and you are not your own;
1 Corinthians 6:20	for you were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.
1 Corinthians 7:1	Now concerning the things about which you wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1 Corinthians 7:2	But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:3	Let the husband render to the wife her due: and likewise also the wife to the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:4	The wife does not have power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband does not have power over his own body, but the wife.
1 Corinthians 7:5	Do not defraud one another, except it be by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7:6	But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
1 Corinthians 7:7	Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. However each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.
1 Corinthians 7:8	But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1 Corinthians 7:9	But if they do not have self-control, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1 Corinthians 7:10	But to the married I give charge, yes, not I, but the Lord, That the wife should not depart from her husband
1 Corinthians 7:11	(but if she does depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband should not leave his wife.
1 Corinthians 7:12	But to the rest I say, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her.
1 Corinthians 7:13	And the woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:14	For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: otherwise your children would be unclean; but now they are holy.
1 Corinthians 7:15	Yet if the unbelieving departs, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us in peace.
1 Corinthians 7:16	For how do you know, O wife, whether you shall save your husband? or how do you know, O husband, whether you shall save your wife?
1 Corinthians 7:17	Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the assemblies.
1 Corinthians 7:18	Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Has any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
1 Corinthians 7:19	Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God.
1 Corinthians 7:20	Let each man abide in that calling in which he was called.
1 Corinthians 7:21	Were you called being a bondservant? do not be concerned about it: but even if you can become free, use it rather.
1 Corinthians 7:22	For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he who was called being free, is Messiah’s bondservant.
1 Corinthians 7:23	You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.
1 Corinthians 7:24	Brothers, let each man, in whatever state he was called, in that abide with God.
1 Corinthians 7:25	Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
1 Corinthians 7:26	I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is.
1 Corinthians 7:27	Are you bound to a wife? do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? do not seek a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:28	But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you.
1 Corinthians 7:29	But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened, that from now on both those who have wives may be as though they had none;
1 Corinthians 7:30	and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
1 Corinthians 7:31	and those who use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passes away.
1 Corinthians 7:32	But I would have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
1 Corinthians 7:33	but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
1 Corinthians 7:34	and is divided. So also the woman who is unmarried and the virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
1 Corinthians 7:35	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 you may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
1 Corinthians 7:36	But if any man thinks that he behaves improperly toward his virgin daughter, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he will; he does not sin; let them marry.
1 Corinthians 7:37	But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power concerning his own will, and has determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, shall do well.
1 Corinthians 7:38	So then both he who gives his own virgin daughter in marriage does well; and he who does not give her in marriage shall do better.
1 Corinthians 7:39	A wife is bound for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:40	But she is happier if she abides as she is, in my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 8:1	Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
1 Corinthians 8:2	If any man thinks that he knows anything, he does not yet know as he ought to know;
1 Corinthians 8:3	but if any man loves God, the same is known by him.
1 Corinthians 8:4	Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
1 Corinthians 8:5	For though there are those that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are many gods, and many lords;
1 Corinthians 8:6	yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we to him; and one Lord, Yeshua Messiah, through whom are all things, and we through him.
1 Corinthians 8:7	However there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being accustomed until now to the idol, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
1 Corinthians 8:8	But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we do not eat, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better.
1 Corinthians 8:9	But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.
1 Corinthians 8:10	For if a man sees you who have knowledge reclining at table in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
1 Corinthians 8:11	For through your knowledge he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Messiah died.
1 Corinthians 8:12	And thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Messiah.
1 Corinthians 8:13	Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh forevermore, that I may not cause my brother to stumble.
1 Corinthians 9:1	Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Yeshua our Lord? are you not my work in the Lord?
1 Corinthians 9:2	If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 9:3	My defense to those who examine me is this.
1 Corinthians 9:4	Have we no right to eat and to drink?
1 Corinthians 9:5	Have we no right to lead about a wife who is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?
1 Corinthians 9:6	Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to refrain from working?
1 Corinthians 9:7	What soldier ever serves at his own expense? who plants a vineyard, and does not eat its fruit? or who feeds a flock, and does not eat of the milk of the flock?
1 Corinthians 9:8	Do I speak these things according to the manner of men? or does not the Torah also say the same?
1 Corinthians 9:9	For it is written in the Torah of Moses, You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain. Is it for the oxen that God cares,
1 Corinthians 9:10	or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, for our sake it was written: because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes, to thresh in hope of partaking.
1 Corinthians 9:11	If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians 9:12	If others partake of this right over you, do we not yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Messiah.
1 Corinthians 9:13	Do you not know that those who minister about sacred things eat of the things of the temple, and those who wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar?
1 Corinthians 9:14	Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the gospel should live from the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:15	But I have used none of these things: and I do not write these things that it may be so done in my case; for it would be good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
1 Corinthians 9:16	For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is to me, if I do not preach the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:17	For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward: but if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.
1 Corinthians 9:18	What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:19	For though I was free from all men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more.
1 Corinthians 9:20	And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under Torah, as under Torah, not being myself under Torah, that I might gain those who are under Torah;
1 Corinthians 9:21	to those who are without the Torah, as without the Torah, not being without the Torah of God, but within the Torah of Messiah, that I might gain those who are without the Torah.
1 Corinthians 9:22	To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.
1 Corinthians 9:23	And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
1 Corinthians 9:24	Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Even so run; that you may attain.
1 Corinthians 9:25	And every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1 Corinthians 9:26	I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so I fight, as not beating the air:
1 Corinthians 9:27	but I discipline my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
1 Corinthians 10:1	For I would not, brothers, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1 Corinthians 10:2	and were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1 Corinthians 10:3	and all ate the same spiritual food;
1 Corinthians 10:4	and all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Messiah.
1 Corinthians 10:5	However with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians 10:6	Now these things were our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1 Corinthians 10:7	Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1 Corinthians 10:8	Nor let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
1 Corinthians 10:9	Nor let us put the Lord to the test, as some of them put him to the test, and perished by the serpents.
1 Corinthians 10:10	Nor murmur, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
1 Corinthians 10:11	Now these things happened to them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
1 Corinthians 10:12	Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 10:13	No temptation has taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able; but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:14	Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
1 Corinthians 10:15	I speak as to wise men; judge what I say.
1 Corinthians 10:16	The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Messiah?
1 Corinthians 10:17	seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:18	Consider Israel according to the flesh: do not those who eat the sacrifices have communion with the altar?
1 Corinthians 10:19	What do I say then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
1 Corinthians 10:20	But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I do not want you to have communion with demons.
1 Corinthians 10:21	You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
1 Corinthians 10:22	Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
1 Corinthians 10:23	All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.
1 Corinthians 10:24	Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor’s good.
1 Corinthians 10:25	Whatever is sold in the meat market, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake;
1 Corinthians 10:26	for the earth is Yehovah’s, and its fullness.
1 Corinthians 10:27	If one of those who do not believe invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go; whatever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
1 Corinthians 10:28	But if any man says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, do not eat it, for the sake of him who told you, and for conscience’ sake:
1 Corinthians 10:29	conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
1 Corinthians 10:30	If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
1 Corinthians 10:31	Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:32	Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God:
1 Corinthians 10:33	even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 11:1	Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.
1 Corinthians 11:2	Now I praise you that you remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
1 Corinthians 11:3	But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Messiah is God.
1 Corinthians 11:4	Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
1 Corinthians 11:5	But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
1 Corinthians 11:6	For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
1 Corinthians 11:7	For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1 Corinthians 11:8	For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:
1 Corinthians 11:9	for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
1 Corinthians 11:10	for this cause the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
1 Corinthians 11:11	Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:12	For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
1 Corinthians 11:13	Judge in yourselves: is it proper that a woman pray to God unveiled?
1 Corinthians 11:14	Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
1 Corinthians 11:15	But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1 Corinthians 11:16	But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the assemblies of God.
1 Corinthians 11:17	But in giving you this charge, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.
1 Corinthians 11:18	For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
1 Corinthians 11:19	For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be made manifest among you.
1 Corinthians 11:20	When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:
1 Corinthians 11:21	for in your eating each one takes his own supper before the other; and one is hungry, and another is drunk.
1 Corinthians 11:22	What, do you not have houses to eat and to drink in? or do you despise the assembly of God, and put to shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you.
1 Corinthians 11:23	For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Yeshua in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
1 Corinthians 11:24	and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: do this in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:25	In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians 11:26	For as often as you eat this bread, and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till he comes.
1 Corinthians 11:27	Therefore whoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:28	But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
1 Corinthians 11:29	For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he does not discern the body.
1 Corinthians 11:30	For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
1 Corinthians 11:31	But if we discerned ourselves, we would not be judged.
1 Corinthians 11:32	But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
1 Corinthians 11:33	Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
1 Corinthians 11:34	If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together may not be to judgment. And the rest I will set in order whenever I come.
1 Corinthians 12:1	Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I would not have you ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12:2	You know that when you were Gentiles you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
1 Corinthians 12:3	Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God says, Yeshua is anathema; and no man can say, Yeshua is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4	Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:5	And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord.
1 Corinthians 12:6	And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7	But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
1 Corinthians 12:8	For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:
1 Corinthians 12:9	to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:10	and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another various kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians 12:11	but all these the one and the same Spirit works, distributing to each one individually even as he wills.
1 Corinthians 12:12	For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Messiah.
1 Corinthians 12:13	For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slave or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14	For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Corinthians 12:15	If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not for that reason not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:16	And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not for that reason not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:17	If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
1 Corinthians 12:18	But now God has set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
1 Corinthians 12:19	And if they were all one member, where would the body be?
1 Corinthians 12:20	But now they are many members, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:21	And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1 Corinthians 12:22	No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
1 Corinthians 12:23	and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant presentability;
1 Corinthians 12:24	whereas our presentable parts have no need: but God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;
1 Corinthians 12:25	that there should be no division in the body; but that the members should have the same care for one another.
1 Corinthians 12:26	And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians 12:27	Now you are the body of Messiah, and individually members of it.
1 Corinthians 12:28	And God has set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:29	Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1 Corinthians 12:30	do all have gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 12:31	But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover I show you a most excellent way.
1 Corinthians 13:1	If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:2	And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:3	And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:4	Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not brag, is not puffed up,
1 Corinthians 13:5	does not act unbecomingly, does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take account of evil;
1 Corinthians 13:6	does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
1 Corinthians 13:7	bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:8	Love never fails: but whether there are prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall be done away.
1 Corinthians 13:9	For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
1 Corinthians 13:10	but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
1 Corinthians 13:11	When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.
1 Corinthians 13:12	For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I shall know fully even as I also was fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:13	But now abides faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 14:1	Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:2	For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God; for no man understands; but in the spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:3	But he who prophesies speaks to men edification, and exhortation, and consolation.
1 Corinthians 14:4	He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
1 Corinthians 14:5	Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that you should prophesy: and greater is he who prophesies than he who speaks with tongues, unless he interprets, that the assembly may receive edifying.
1 Corinthians 14:6	But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
1 Corinthians 14:7	Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they do not give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1 Corinthians 14:8	For if the trumpet gives an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?
1 Corinthians 14:9	So also you, unless you utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for you will be speaking into the air.
1 Corinthians 14:10	There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without meaning.
1 Corinthians 14:11	If then I do not know the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him who speaks a barbarian, and he who speaks will be a barbarian to me.
1 Corinthians 14:12	So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the edifying of the assembly.
1 Corinthians 14:13	Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:14	For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:15	What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1 Corinthians 14:16	Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the unlearned say the Amen at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not know what you say?
1 Corinthians 14:17	For you truly give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
1 Corinthians 14:18	I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:
1 Corinthians 14:19	however in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:20	Brothers, do not be children in mind: yet in malice be babes, but in mind be men.
1 Corinthians 14:21	In the Torah it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people; and not even thus will they hear me, says Yehovah.
1 Corinthians 14:22	Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those believing, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those believing.
1 Corinthians 14:23	If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that you are mad?
1 Corinthians 14:24	But if all prophesy, and there comes in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;
1 Corinthians 14:25	the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
1 Corinthians 14:26	What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to edifying.
1 Corinthians 14:27	If any man speaks in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one interpret:
1 Corinthians 14:28	but if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the assembly; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1 Corinthians 14:29	And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern.
1 Corinthians 14:30	But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.
1 Corinthians 14:31	For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;
1 Corinthians 14:32	and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
1 Corinthians 14:33	for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,
1 Corinthians 14:34	let the women keep silence in the assemblies: for it is not permitted to them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also says the Torah.
1 Corinthians 14:35	And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the assembly.
1 Corinthians 14:36	What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or did it come to you alone?
1 Corinthians 14:37	If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 14:38	But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1 Corinthians 14:39	Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking with tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:40	But let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 15:1	Now I make known to you, brothers, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
1 Corinthians 15:2	by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3	For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4	and that he was buried; and that he has been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:5	and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;
1 Corinthians 15:6	then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
1 Corinthians 15:7	then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;
1 Corinthians 15:8	and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also.
1 Corinthians 15:9	For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the assembly of God.
1 Corinthians 15:10	But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1 Corinthians 15:11	Whether then it is I or they, so we preach, and so you believed.
1 Corinthians 15:12	Now if Messiah is preached that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:13	But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Messiah has not been raised either:
1 Corinthians 15:14	and if Messiah has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.
1 Corinthians 15:15	Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Messiah: whom he did not raise up, if indeed the dead are not raised.
1 Corinthians 15:16	For if the dead are not raised, then Messiah has not been raised either:
1 Corinthians 15:17	and if Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
1 Corinthians 15:18	Then those also who have fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
1 Corinthians 15:19	If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
1 Corinthians 15:20	But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who are asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:21	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22	For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:23	But each in his own order: Messiah the firstfruits; then those who are Messiah’s, at his coming.
1 Corinthians 15:24	Then comes the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:25	For he must reign, till he has put all his enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26	The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.
1 Corinthians 15:27	For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he says, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
1 Corinthians 15:28	And when all things have been subjected to him, then the Son himself also shall be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:29	Otherwise what shall those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?
1 Corinthians 15:30	why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
1 Corinthians 15:31	I affirm by that glorying in you, brothers, which I have in Messiah Yeshua our Lord, I die daily.
1 Corinthians 15:32	If according to the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
1 Corinthians 15:33	Do not be deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.
1 Corinthians 15:34	Awake to soberness righteously, and do not sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak this to move you to shame.
1 Corinthians 15:35	But someone will say, How are the dead raised? and with what kind of body do they come?
1 Corinthians 15:36	You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies:
1 Corinthians 15:37	and that which you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat, or of some other kind;
1 Corinthians 15:38	but God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
1 Corinthians 15:39	All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.
1 Corinthians 15:40	There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
1 Corinthians 15:41	There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
1 Corinthians 15:42	So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1 Corinthians 15:43	it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1 Corinthians 15:44	it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:45	So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:46	However that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:47	The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:48	As is the earthy, such are those also who are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are those also who are heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:49	And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:50	Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:51	Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians 15:52	in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:53	For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:54	But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then the saying that is written shall come to pass, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Corinthians 15:55	O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
1 Corinthians 15:56	The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the Torah:
1 Corinthians 15:57	but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
1 Corinthians 15:58	Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 16:1	Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the assemblies of Galatia, so also do you.
1 Corinthians 16:2	Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
1 Corinthians 16:3	And when I arrive, whomever you shall approve, them I will send with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem:
1 Corinthians 16:4	and if it is fitting for me to go also, they shall go with me.
1 Corinthians 16:5	But I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;
1 Corinthians 16:6	but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that you may send me forward on my journey wherever I go.
1 Corinthians 16:7	For I do not wish to see you now in passing; for I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
1 Corinthians 16:8	But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost;
1 Corinthians 16:9	for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Corinthians 16:10	Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; for he works the work of the Lord, as I also do:
1 Corinthians 16:11	let no man therefore despise him. But send him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me: for I expect him with the brothers.
1 Corinthians 16:12	But concerning Apollos the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brothers: and it was not at all his will to come now; but he will come when he has opportunity.
1 Corinthians 16:13	Watch, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:14	Let all that you do be done in love.
1 Corinthians 16:15	Now I beseech you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to minister to the saints),
1 Corinthians 16:16	that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
1 Corinthians 16:17	And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied.
1 Corinthians 16:18	For they refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge those who are such.
1 Corinthians 16:19	The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you much in the Lord, with the assembly that is in their house.
1 Corinthians 16:20	All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Corinthians 16:21	The greeting of me Paul with my own hand.
1 Corinthians 16:22	If any man does not love the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha.
1 Corinthians 16:23	The grace of the Lord Yeshua Messiah be with you.
1 Corinthians 16:24	My love be with you all in Messiah Yeshua. Amen.
2 Corinthians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
2 Corinthians 1:2	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2 Corinthians 1:3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;
2 Corinthians 1:4	who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:5	For as the sufferings of Messiah abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Messiah.
2 Corinthians 1:6	But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which works in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
2 Corinthians 1:7	and our hope for you is steadfast; knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:8	For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning our affliction which befell us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so that we despaired even of life:
2 Corinthians 1:9	indeed, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead:
2 Corinthians 1:10	who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;
2 Corinthians 1:11	you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf.
2 Corinthians 1:12	For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
2 Corinthians 1:13	For we write no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end:
2 Corinthians 1:14	as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Yeshua.
2 Corinthians 1:15	And in this confidence I intended to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit;
2 Corinthians 1:16	and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be sent on my journey to Judæa.
2 Corinthians 1:17	When I therefore intended this, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yes yes and the no no?
2 Corinthians 1:18	But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yes and no.
2 Corinthians 1:19	For the Son of God, Yeshua Messiah, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but in him is yes.
2 Corinthians 1:20	For however many are the promises of God, in him is the yes: therefore also through him is the Amen, to the glory of God through us.
2 Corinthians 1:21	Now he who establishes us with you in Messiah, and anointed us, is God;
2 Corinthians 1:22	who also sealed us, and gave us the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
2 Corinthians 1:23	But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I refrained from coming to Corinth.
2 Corinthians 1:24	Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith you stand fast.
2 Corinthians 2:1	But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:2	For if I make you sorrowful, who then is he who makes me glad but he who is made sorrowful by me?
2 Corinthians 2:3	And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from those of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2 Corinthians 2:4	For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not that you should be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly for you.
2 Corinthians 2:5	But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I may not press too heavily) to you all.
2 Corinthians 2:6	Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
2 Corinthians 2:7	so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.
2 Corinthians 2:8	Therefore I urge you to confirm your love toward him.
2 Corinthians 2:9	For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
2 Corinthians 2:10	But to whom you forgive anything, I forgive also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes I have forgiven it in the presence of Messiah;
2 Corinthians 2:11	that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2 Corinthians 2:12	Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Messiah, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,
2 Corinthians 2:13	I had no relief for my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.
2 Corinthians 2:14	But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, and makes manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place.
2 Corinthians 2:15	For we are a sweet fragrance of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;
2 Corinthians 2:16	to the one a fragrance from death to death; to the other a fragrance from life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2 Corinthians 2:17	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, we speak in Messiah.
2 Corinthians 3:1	Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or do we need, as some do, epistles of commendation to you or from you?
2 Corinthians 3:2	You are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
2 Corinthians 3:3	being made manifest that you are an epistle of Messiah, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.
2 Corinthians 3:4	And such confidence we have through Messiah toward God:
2 Corinthians 3:5	not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;
2 Corinthians 3:6	who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:7	But if the ministry of death, written, and engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look intently upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was passing away:
2 Corinthians 3:8	how shall not rather the ministry of the spirit be with glory?
2 Corinthians 3:9	For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, much rather does the ministry of righteousness exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians 3:10	For truly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses it.
2 Corinthians 3:11	For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
2 Corinthians 3:12	Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
2 Corinthians 3:13	and are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look intently on the end of that which was passing away:
2 Corinthians 3:14	but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Messiah.
2 Corinthians 3:15	But to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.
2 Corinthians 3:16	But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:17	Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:18	But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:1	Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we do not lose heart:
2 Corinthians 4:2	but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3	And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish:
2 Corinthians 4:4	in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.
2 Corinthians 4:5	For we do not preach ourselves, but Messiah Yeshua as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Yeshua’s sake.
2 Corinthians 4:6	Seeing it is God, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yeshua Messiah.
2 Corinthians 4:7	But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;
2 Corinthians 4:8	we are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair;
2 Corinthians 4:9	pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;
2 Corinthians 4:10	always carrying about in the body the dying of Yeshua, that the life also of Yeshua may be manifested in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:11	For we who live are always delivered to death for Yeshua’s sake, that the life also of Yeshua may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
2 Corinthians 4:12	So then death works in us, but life in you.
2 Corinthians 4:13	But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore I spoke; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;
2 Corinthians 4:14	knowing that he who raised up the Lord Yeshua shall raise us up also with Yeshua, and shall present us with you.
2 Corinthians 4:15	For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16	Therefore we do not lose heart; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:17	For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
2 Corinthians 4:18	while we do not look 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 5:1	For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:2	For truly in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
2 Corinthians 5:3	if indeed being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2 Corinthians 5:4	For indeed we who are in this tabernacle groan, being burdened; not because we want to be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
2 Corinthians 5:5	Now he who prepared us for this very thing is God, who gave to us the pledge of the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:6	Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
2 Corinthians 5:7	(for we walk by faith, not by sight);
2 Corinthians 5:8	we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:9	Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing to him.
2 Corinthians 5:10	For we must all be made manifest before the judgment seat of Messiah; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether it is good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:11	Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
2 Corinthians 5:12	We are not again commending ourselves to you, but speak as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who glory in appearance, and not in heart.
2 Corinthians 5:13	For whether we are beside ourselves, it is to God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is to you.
2 Corinthians 5:14	For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;
2 Corinthians 5:15	and he died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
2 Corinthians 5:16	Therefore from now on we know no man according to the flesh: even though we have known Messiah according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
2 Corinthians 5:17	Therefore if any man is in Messiah, he is a new creature: the old things have passed away; behold, they have become new.
2 Corinthians 5:18	But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians 5:19	that is, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20	We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Messiah, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:21	Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 6:1	And working together with him we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain
2 Corinthians 6:2	(for he says, At an acceptable time I hearkened to you, And in a day of salvation I helped you: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation):
2 Corinthians 6:3	giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministry may not be blamed;
2 Corinthians 6:4	but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
2 Corinthians 6:5	in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleepless nights, in fastings;
2 Corinthians 6:6	in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love without hypocrisy,
2 Corinthians 6:7	in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2 Corinthians 6:8	by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;
2 Corinthians 6:9	as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
2 Corinthians 6:10	as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
2 Corinthians 6:11	Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged.
2 Corinthians 6:12	You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections.
2 Corinthians 6:13	Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as to my children), you also be enlarged.
2 Corinthians 6:14	Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and lawlessness? or what communion has light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:15	And what concord has Messiah with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:16	And what agreement has a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Corinthians 6:17	Therefore Come out from among them, and be separate, says Yehovah, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you,
2 Corinthians 6:18	And will be to you a Father, And you shall be to me sons and daughters, says Yehovah Almighty.
2 Corinthians 7:1	Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:2	Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.
2 Corinthians 7:3	I do not say it to condemn you: for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
2 Corinthians 7:4	Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
2 Corinthians 7:5	For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side; outside were fightings, within were fears.
2 Corinthians 7:6	Nevertheless he who comforts the lowly, even God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
2 Corinthians 7:7	and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.
2 Corinthians 7:8	For though I made you sorrowful with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it (for I see that that epistle made you sorrowful, though only for a while),
2 Corinthians 7:9	I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to repentance; for you were made sorrowful in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
2 Corinthians 7:10	For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, a repentance which brings no regret: but the sorrow of the world works death.
2 Corinthians 7:11	For behold, this very thing, that you were made sorrowful in a godly manner, what earnest care it produced in you, indeed what clearing of yourselves, indeed what indignation, indeed what fear, indeed what longing, indeed what zeal, indeed what avenging! In everything you proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
2 Corinthians 7:12	So although I wrote to you, I did not write for the sake of him who did the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest to you in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 7:13	Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we rejoiced even more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
2 Corinthians 7:14	For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
2 Corinthians 7:15	And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.
2 Corinthians 7:16	I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
2 Corinthians 8:1	Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the assemblies of Macedonia;
2 Corinthians 8:2	how in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality.
2 Corinthians 8:3	For according to their power, I bear witness, yes and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,
2 Corinthians 8:4	begging us with much entreaty in regard to this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:
2 Corinthians 8:5	and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.
2 Corinthians 8:6	So much so that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also.
2 Corinthians 8:7	But as you abound in everything, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you abound in this grace also.
2 Corinthians 8:8	I do not speak by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.
2 Corinthians 8:9	For you know the grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:10	And in this I give my judgment: for this is advantageous for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will.
2 Corinthians 8:11	But now complete the doing also; that as there was the readiness to will, so there may be the completion also out of your ability.
2 Corinthians 8:12	For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have.
2 Corinthians 8:13	For I do not say this that others may be eased and you distressed;
2 Corinthians 8:14	but by equality: your abundance being a supply at this present time for their need, that their abundance also may become a supply for your need; that there may be equality:
2 Corinthians 8:15	as it is written, He who gathered much had nothing left over; and he who gathered little had no lack.
2 Corinthians 8:16	But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus.
2 Corinthians 8:17	For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went out to you of his own accord.
2 Corinthians 8:18	And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel is spread through all the assemblies;
2 Corinthians 8:19	and not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and to show our readiness:
2 Corinthians 8:20	avoiding this, that any man should blame us in the matter of this bounty which is ministered by us:
2 Corinthians 8:21	for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
2 Corinthians 8:22	And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which he has in you.
2 Corinthians 8:23	Whether any inquire about Titus, he is my partner and my fellow worker toward you; or our brothers, they are the messengers of the assemblies, they are the glory of Messiah.
2 Corinthians 8:24	Show therefore to them in the face of the assemblies the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.
2 Corinthians 9:1	For as concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 Corinthians 9:2	for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared since a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up very many of them.
2 Corinthians 9:3	But I have sent the brothers, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, you may be prepared:
2 Corinthians 9:4	lest by any means, if any of Macedonia come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to say you) should be put to shame in this confidence.
2 Corinthians 9:5	I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers, that they would go before to you, and make up beforehand your previously promised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.
2 Corinthians 9:6	But this I say, He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully.
2 Corinthians 9:7	Let each man do just as he has purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:8	And God is able to make all grace abound to you; that you, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work:
2 Corinthians 9:9	as it is written, He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor; His righteousness abides forever.
2 Corinthians 9:10	And he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
2 Corinthians 9:11	you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which works through us thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:12	For the ministry of this service not only fills up the measure of the needs of the saints, but abounds also through many thanksgivings to God;
2 Corinthians 9:13	seeing that through the proving of you by this ministry they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Messiah, and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all;
2 Corinthians 9:14	while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you.
2 Corinthians 9:15	Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians 10:1	Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Messiah, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:
2 Corinthians 10:2	indeed, I beg you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence with which I count to be bold against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.
2 Corinthians 10:3	For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
2 Corinthians 10:4	(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds);
2 Corinthians 10:5	casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Messiah;
2 Corinthians 10:6	and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.
2 Corinthians 10:7	You look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusts in himself that he is Messiah’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Messiah’s, so also are we.
2 Corinthians 10:8	For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:
2 Corinthians 10:9	that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
2 Corinthians 10:10	For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.
2 Corinthians 10:11	Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.
2 Corinthians 10:12	For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of those who commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
2 Corinthians 10:13	But we will not glory beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even to you.
2 Corinthians 10:14	For we do not overextend ourselves, as though we did not reach to you: for we came even as far as to you in the gospel of Messiah:
2 Corinthians 10:15	not glorying beyond our measure, that is, in other men’s labors; but having hope that, as your faith grows, we shall be magnified in you according to our province to further abundance,
2 Corinthians 10:16	so as to preach the gospel even to the parts beyond you, and not to glory in another’s province in regard to things ready to our hand.
2 Corinthians 10:17	But he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.
2 Corinthians 10:18	For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
2 Corinthians 11:1	Would that you could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed you do bear with me.
2 Corinthians 11:2	For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I betrothed you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah.
2 Corinthians 11:3	But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Messiah.
2 Corinthians 11:4	For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different gospel, which you did not accept, you do well to bear with him.
2 Corinthians 11:5	For I reckon that I am not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.
2 Corinthians 11:6	But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not in knowledge; no, in every way we have made this manifest to you in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:7	Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God free of charge?
2 Corinthians 11:8	I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might minister to you;
2 Corinthians 11:9	and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden on any man; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
2 Corinthians 11:10	As the truth of Messiah is in me, no man shall stop this glorying of mine in the regions of Achaia.
2 Corinthians 11:11	Why? because I do not love you? God knows.
2 Corinthians 11:12	But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion; that in what they glory, they may be found even as we.
2 Corinthians 11:13	For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Messiah.
2 Corinthians 11:14	And no wonder; for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15	It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:16	I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if you do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little.
2 Corinthians 11:17	That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying.
2 Corinthians 11:18	Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also.
2 Corinthians 11:19	For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.
2 Corinthians 11:20	For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face.
2 Corinthians 11:21	I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet in whatever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
2 Corinthians 11:22	Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
2 Corinthians 11:23	Are they ministers of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in beatings beyond measure, in deaths often.
2 Corinthians 11:24	From the Jews five times I received forty lashes less one.
2 Corinthians 11:25	Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
2 Corinthians 11:26	in journeys often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brothers;
2 Corinthians 11:27	in labor and hardship, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
2 Corinthians 11:28	Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses upon me daily, anxiety for all the assemblies.
2 Corinthians 11:29	Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn?
2 Corinthians 11:30	If I must glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness.
2 Corinthians 11:31	The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua, he who is blessed forevermore knows that I do not lie.
2 Corinthians 11:32	In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:
2 Corinthians 11:33	and through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2 Corinthians 12:1	I must glory, though it is not profitable; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:2	I know a man in Messiah, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know; or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one caught up even to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:3	And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
2 Corinthians 12:4	how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
2 Corinthians 12:5	On behalf of such a one I will glory: but on my own behalf I will not glory, except in my weaknesses.
2 Corinthians 12:6	For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I refrain, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or hears from me.
2 Corinthians 12:7	And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted too much, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted too much.
2 Corinthians 12:8	Concerning this thing I begged the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.
2 Corinthians 12:9	And he has said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Messiah may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:10	Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Messiah’s sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:11	I have become foolish: you compelled me; for I ought to have been commended by you: for in nothing was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.
2 Corinthians 12:12	Truly the signs of an apostle were performed among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works.
2 Corinthians 12:13	For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.
2 Corinthians 12:14	Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I do not seek what is yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
2 Corinthians 12:15	And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
2 Corinthians 12:16	But be that as it may, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
2 Corinthians 12:17	Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent to you?
2 Corinthians 12:18	I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? did we not walk in the same spirit? did we not walk in the same steps?
2 Corinthians 12:19	You think all this time that we are excusing ourselves to you. In the sight of God we speak in Messiah. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
2 Corinthians 12:20	For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I want, and should myself be found by you such as you do not want; lest by any means there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, arrogance, tumults;
2 Corinthians 12:21	lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of those who have sinned before, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed.
2 Corinthians 13:1	This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three every word shall be established.
2 Corinthians 13:2	I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;
2 Corinthians 13:3	seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me; who toward you is not weak, but is powerful in you:
2 Corinthians 13:4	for he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you.
2 Corinthians 13:5	Test your own selves, whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or do you not know as to your own selves, that Yeshua Messiah is in you? unless indeed you are reprobate.
2 Corinthians 13:6	But I hope that you shall know that we are not reprobate.
2 Corinthians 13:7	Now we pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may be as reprobate.
2 Corinthians 13:8	For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
2 Corinthians 13:9	For we rejoice, when we are weak, and you are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting.
2 Corinthians 13:10	For this reason I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down.
2 Corinthians 13:11	Finally, brothers, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:12	Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2 Corinthians 13:13	All the saints greet you.
2 Corinthians 13:14	The grace of the Lord Yeshua Messiah, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
Galatians 1:1	Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua Messiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
Galatians 1:2	and all the brothers who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:
Galatians 1:3	Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Yeshua Messiah,
Galatians 1:4	who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:
Galatians 1:5	to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Galatians 1:6	I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah for a different gospel;
Galatians 1:7	which is not another gospel: only there are some who trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Messiah.
Galatians 1:8	But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any gospel other than what we preached to you, let him be anathema.
Galatians 1:9	As we have said before, so I now say again, If any man preaches to you any gospel other than what you received, let him be anathema.
Galatians 1:10	For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Messiah.
Galatians 1:11	For I make known to you, brothers, concerning the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Galatians 1:12	For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua Messiah.
Galatians 1:13	For you have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how beyond measure I persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it:
Galatians 1:14	and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Galatians 1:15	But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, even from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
Galatians 1:16	to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood:
Galatians 1:17	nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus.
Galatians 1:18	Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.
Galatians 1:19	But I saw none of the other apostles, except James the Lord’s brother.
Galatians 1:20	Now concerning the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
Galatians 1:21	Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Galatians 1:22	And I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah:
Galatians 1:23	but they only heard it said, He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once ravaged;
Galatians 1:24	and they glorified God in me.
Galatians 2:1	Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
Galatians 2:2	And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before those who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain.
Galatians 2:3	But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Galatians 2:4	and that because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who came in secretly to spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bring us into bondage:
Galatians 2:5	to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Galatians 2:6	But from those who were reputed to be something (whatever they were, it makes no difference to me: God shows no partiality)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:
Galatians 2:7	but on the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the gospel of the circumcision
Galatians 2:8	(for he who worked for Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision worked for me also to the Gentiles);
Galatians 2:9	and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;
Galatians 2:10	only they asked that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do.
Galatians 2:11	But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.
Galatians 2:12	For before certain men came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
Galatians 2:13	And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically likewise with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
Galatians 2:14	But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, how do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
Galatians 2:15	We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Galatians 2:16	yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Torah but through faith in Yeshua Messiah, even we believed in Messiah Yeshua, that we might be justified by faith in Messiah, and not by the works of the Torah: because by the works of the Torah no flesh shall be justified.
Galatians 2:17	But if, while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Messiah a minister of sin? God forbid.
Galatians 2:18	For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.
Galatians 2:19	For I through the Torah died to the Torah, that I might live to God.
Galatians 2:20	I have been crucified with Messiah; and it is no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Galatians 2:21	I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the Torah, then Messiah died for nothing.
Galatians 3:1	O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you, before whose eyes Yeshua Messiah was openly set forth crucified?
Galatians 3:2	This only I would learn from you, Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Torah, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:3	Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now perfected in the flesh?
Galatians 3:4	Did you suffer so many things in vain? if it is indeed in vain.
Galatians 3:5	He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the Torah, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:6	Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
Galatians 3:7	Know therefore that those who are of faith, these are sons of Abraham.
Galatians 3:8	And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, In you shall all the nations be blessed.
Galatians 3:9	So then those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
Galatians 3:10	For as many as are of the works of the Torah are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the Torah, to do them.
Galatians 3:11	Now that no man is justified by the Torah before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;
Galatians 3:12	and the Torah is not of faith; but, He who does them shall live in them.
Galatians 3:13	Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree:
Galatians 3:14	that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Messiah Yeshua; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:15	Brothers, I speak according to the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.
Galatians 3:16	Now to Abraham the promises were spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Messiah.
Galatians 3:17	Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the Torah, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
Galatians 3:18	For if the inheritance is of the Torah, it is no longer of promise: but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.
Galatians 3:19	What then is the Torah? It was added because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 3:20	Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.
Galatians 3:21	Is the Torah then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, truly righteousness would have been of the Torah.
Galatians 3:22	But the scripture shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua Messiah might be given to those believing.
Galatians 3:23	But before faith came, we were kept in custody under Torah, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Galatians 3:24	So that the Torah has become our guardian to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25	But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
Galatians 3:26	For you are all sons of God, through faith, in Messiah Yeshua.
Galatians 3:27	For as many of you as were baptized into Messiah have put on Messiah.
Galatians 3:28	There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither slave nor free, there can be no male and female; for you are all one man in Messiah Yeshua.
Galatians 3:29	And if you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.
Galatians 4:1	But I say that as long as the heir is a child, he differs in nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all;
Galatians 4:2	but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.
Galatians 4:3	So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elementary principles of the world:
Galatians 4:4	but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,
Galatians 4:5	that he might redeem those who were under Torah, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians 4:6	And because you are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:7	So that you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:8	However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are no gods:
Galatians 4:9	but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elementary principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
Galatians 4:10	You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years.
Galatians 4:11	I am afraid for you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor on you in vain.
Galatians 4:12	I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong:
Galatians 4:13	but you know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel to you the first time:
Galatians 4:14	and what was a temptation to you in my flesh you did not despise, nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Messiah Yeshua.
Galatians 4:15	Where then is that blessing you felt? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.
Galatians 4:16	So then have I become your enemy, by telling you the truth?
Galatians 4:17	They zealously seek you in no good way; no, they desire to shut you out, that you may seek them.
Galatians 4:18	But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you.
Galatians 4:19	My little children, for whom I am again in labor until Messiah is formed in you—
Galatians 4:20	but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you.
Galatians 4:21	Tell me, you who desire to be under Torah, do you not hear the Torah?
Galatians 4:22	For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman, and one by the free woman.
Galatians 4:23	However the son by the slave woman is born according to the flesh; but the son by the free woman is born through promise.
Galatians 4:24	These things are an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
Galatians 4:25	Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children.
Galatians 4:26	But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.
Galatians 4:27	For it is written, Rejoice, you barren one who does not bear; Break forth and cry, you who do not travail: For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.
Galatians 4:28	Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
Galatians 4:29	But as then he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
Galatians 4:30	However what does the scripture say? Cast out the slave woman and her son: for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
Galatians 4:31	Therefore, brothers, we are not children of a slave woman, but of the free woman.
Galatians 5:1	For freedom Messiah has set us free: stand fast therefore, and do not be entangled again in a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:2	Behold, I Paul say to you, that, if you receive circumcision, Messiah will profit you nothing.
Galatians 5:3	Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole Torah.
Galatians 5:4	You are severed from Messiah, you who would be justified by the Torah; you have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:5	For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
Galatians 5:6	For in Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:7	You were running well; who hindered you that you should not obey the truth?
Galatians 5:8	This persuasion did not come from him who calls you.
Galatians 5:9	A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Galatians 5:10	I have confidence toward you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind: but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
Galatians 5:11	But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then the stumbling block of the cross has been done away.
Galatians 5:12	I wish that those who unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.
Galatians 5:13	For you, brothers, were called for freedom; only do not use your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.
Galatians 5:14	For the whole Torah is fulfilled in one word, even in this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Galatians 5:15	But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another.
Galatians 5:16	But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:17	For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; so that you may not do the things that you want.
Galatians 5:18	But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under Torah.
Galatians 5:19	Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians 5:20	idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
Galatians 5:21	envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and the like; of which I forewarn you, even as I forewarned you, that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22	But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Galatians 5:23	meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:24	And those who are of Messiah Yeshua have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
Galatians 5:25	If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk.
Galatians 5:26	Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 6:1	Brothers, even if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself, lest you also be tempted.
Galatians 6:2	Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the Torah of Messiah.
Galatians 6:3	For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Galatians 6:4	But let each man prove his own work, and then he shall have his boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to his neighbor.
Galatians 6:5	For each man shall bear his own burden.
Galatians 6:6	But let him who is taught in the word share with him who teaches in all good things.
Galatians 6:7	Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that he shall also reap.
Galatians 6:8	For he who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:9	And let us not grow weary in doing good: for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:10	So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.
Galatians 6:11	See with how large letters I write to you with my own hand.
Galatians 6:12	As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Messiah.
Galatians 6:13	For not even those who receive circumcision themselves keep the Torah; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
Galatians 6:14	But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Galatians 6:15	For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Galatians 6:16	And as many as walk by this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:17	From now on let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Yeshua.
Galatians 6:18	The grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
Ephesians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah Yeshua:
Ephesians 1:2	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Ephesians 1:3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah:
Ephesians 1:4	even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
Ephesians 1:5	having foreordained us to adoption as sons through Yeshua Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians 1:6	to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
Ephesians 1:7	in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Ephesians 1:8	which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Ephesians 1:9	making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Ephesians 1:10	to a dispensation of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,
Ephesians 1:11	in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will;
Ephesians 1:12	so that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah:
Ephesians 1:13	in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:14	which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:15	For this reason I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is among you, and the love which you show toward all the saints,
Ephesians 1:16	do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Ephesians 1:17	that the God of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Ephesians 1:18	having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:19	and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us believing, according to that working of the strength of his might
Ephesians 1:20	which he worked in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians 1:21	far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Ephesians 1:22	and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the assembly,
Ephesians 1:23	which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 2:1	And you he made alive, when you were dead through your trespasses and sins,
Ephesians 2:2	in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience;
Ephesians 2:3	among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—
Ephesians 2:4	but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Ephesians 2:5	even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah (by grace you have been saved),
Ephesians 2:6	and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places, in Messiah Yeshua:
Ephesians 2:7	that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua:
Ephesians 2:8	for by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Ephesians 2:9	not of works, that no man should glory.
Ephesians 2:10	For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:11	Therefore remember, that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by what is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
Ephesians 2:12	that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:13	But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Messiah.
Ephesians 2:14	For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition,
Ephesians 2:15	having made of none effect in his flesh the enmity — the Torah of commandments contained in decrees — that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians 2:16	and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it:
Ephesians 2:17	and he came and preached peace to you who were far off, and peace to those who were near:
Ephesians 2:18	for through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 2:19	So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
Ephesians 2:20	being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Messiah Yeshua himself being the chief corner stone;
Ephesians 2:21	in whom each building, fitly framed together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ephesians 2:22	in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:1	For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Messiah Yeshua on behalf of you Gentiles,—
Ephesians 3:2	if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me for you;
Ephesians 3:3	how by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
Ephesians 3:4	by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Messiah;
Ephesians 3:5	which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
Ephesians 3:6	namely, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Messiah Yeshua through the gospel,
Ephesians 3:7	of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
Ephesians 3:8	To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Messiah;
Ephesians 3:9	and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;
Ephesians 3:10	to the intent that now to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians 3:11	according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Messiah Yeshua our Lord:
Ephesians 3:12	in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
Ephesians 3:13	Therefore I ask that you may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.
Ephesians 3:14	For this reason I bow my knees to the Father,
Ephesians 3:15	from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
Ephesians 3:16	that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;
Ephesians 3:17	that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith; so that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18	may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Ephesians 3:19	and to know the love of Messiah which passes knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:20	Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Ephesians 3:21	to him be the glory in the assembly and in Messiah Yeshua to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 4:1	I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
Ephesians 4:2	with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians 4:3	giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:4	There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians 4:5	one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ephesians 4:6	one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
Ephesians 4:7	But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Messiah.
Ephesians 4:8	Therefore he says, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.
Ephesians 4:9	(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Ephesians 4:10	He who descended is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ephesians 4:11	And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 4:12	for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of ministering, to the building up of the body of Messiah:
Ephesians 4:13	until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a fullgrown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah:
Ephesians 4:14	that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, according to the wiles of error;
Ephesians 4:15	but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Messiah;
Ephesians 4:16	from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through what every joint supplies, according to the working in due measure of each part, makes the increase of the body to the building up of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:17	This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Ephesians 4:18	being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;
Ephesians 4:19	who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians 4:20	But you did not so learn Messiah;
Ephesians 4:21	if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Yeshua:
Ephesians 4:22	that you put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that grows corrupt according to the lusts of deceit;
Ephesians 4:23	and that you may be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Ephesians 4:24	and put on the new man, which according to God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Ephesians 4:25	Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Ephesians 4:26	Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:27	nor give place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:28	Let him who stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
Ephesians 4:29	Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:30	And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:31	Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians 4:32	and be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Messiah forgave you.
Ephesians 5:1	Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:2	and walk in love, even as Messiah also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.
Ephesians 5:3	But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;
Ephesians 5:4	nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not fitting: but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians 5:5	For this you know for certain, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Messiah and God.
Ephesians 5:6	Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:7	Therefore do not be partakers with them;
Ephesians 5:8	for you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
Ephesians 5:9	(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
Ephesians 5:10	testing what is well-pleasing to the Lord;
Ephesians 5:11	and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
Ephesians 5:12	for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
Ephesians 5:13	But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
Ephesians 5:14	Therefore he says, Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Messiah shall shine upon you.
Ephesians 5:15	Look therefore carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
Ephesians 5:16	redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:17	Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:18	And do not be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit;
Ephesians 5:19	speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
Ephesians 5:20	giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Yeshua Messiah to God, even the Father;
Ephesians 5:21	subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Messiah.
Ephesians 5:22	Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:23	For the husband is the head of the wife, as Messiah also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
Ephesians 5:24	But as the assembly is subject to Messiah, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:25	Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it;
Ephesians 5:26	that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,
Ephesians 5:27	that he might present the assembly to himself a glorious assembly, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:28	Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself:
Ephesians 5:29	for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Messiah also the assembly;
Ephesians 5:30	because we are members of his body.
Ephesians 5:31	For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
Ephesians 5:32	This mystery is great: but I speak with regard to Messiah and to the assembly.
Ephesians 5:33	Nevertheless let each one of you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she fears her husband.
Ephesians 6:1	Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ephesians 6:2	Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),
Ephesians 6:3	that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.
Ephesians 6:4	And, you fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:5	Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Messiah;
Ephesians 6:6	not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Messiah, doing the will of God from the heart;
Ephesians 6:7	with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Ephesians 6:8	knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he shall receive the same again from the Lord, whether he is bond or free.
Ephesians 6:9	And, you masters, do the same things to them, and refrain from threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.
Ephesians 6:10	Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:11	Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:12	For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:13	Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14	Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Ephesians 6:15	and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:16	besides all this taking up the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Ephesians 6:17	And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians 6:18	with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching to that end in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
Ephesians 6:19	and on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
Ephesians 6:20	for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ephesians 6:21	But that you also may know my affairs, how I am doing, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
Ephesians 6:22	whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts.
Ephesians 6:23	Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Ephesians 6:24	Grace be with all those who love our Lord Yeshua Messiah with a love incorruptible.
Philippians 1:1	Paul and Timothy, servants of Messiah Yeshua, to all the saints in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Philippians 1:2	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Philippians 1:3	I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
Philippians 1:4	always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,
Philippians 1:5	for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;
Philippians 1:6	being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Yeshua Messiah:
Philippians 1:7	even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
Philippians 1:8	For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua.
Philippians 1:9	And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
Philippians 1:10	so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and void of offense to the day of Messiah;
Philippians 1:11	being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Yeshua Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:12	Now I would have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather for the progress of the gospel;
Philippians 1:13	so that my bonds became manifest in Messiah throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;
Philippians 1:14	and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Philippians 1:15	Some indeed preach Messiah even from envy and strife; and some also from good will:
Philippians 1:16	the one does it out of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel;
Philippians 1:17	but the other proclaims Messiah out of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.
Philippians 1:18	What then? only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed; and in it I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
Philippians 1:19	For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Yeshua Messiah,
Philippians 1:20	according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Messiah shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
Philippians 1:21	For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:22	But if to live in the flesh,— if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I do not know.
Philippians 1:23	But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah; for it is very far better:
Philippians 1:24	yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Philippians 1:25	And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yes, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
Philippians 1:26	that your glorying may abound in Messiah Yeshua in me through my presence with you again.
Philippians 1:27	Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Messiah: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
Philippians 1:28	and in nothing frightened by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;
Philippians 1:29	because to you it has been granted on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf:
Philippians 1:30	having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
Philippians 2:1	If there is therefore any exhortation in Messiah, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,
Philippians 2:2	make my joy full, that you be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
Philippians 2:3	doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting others better than himself;
Philippians 2:4	not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Philippians 2:5	Have this mind in you, which was also in Messiah Yeshua:
Philippians 2:6	who, existing in the form of God, did not count being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Philippians 2:7	but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
Philippians 2:8	and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even to death, indeed, the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9	Therefore also God highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
Philippians 2:10	that in the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,
Philippians 2:11	and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:12	So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Philippians 2:13	for it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:14	Do all things without murmurings and questionings:
Philippians 2:15	that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
Philippians 2:16	holding forth the word of life; that I may have something of which to glory in the day of Messiah, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
Philippians 2:17	Yes, and if I am offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all:
Philippians 2:18	and in the same manner you also be glad, and rejoice with me.
Philippians 2:19	But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Philippians 2:20	For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
Philippians 2:21	For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua Messiah.
Philippians 2:22	But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
Philippians 2:23	Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I see how it will go with me:
Philippians 2:24	but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.
Philippians 2:25	But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;
Philippians 2:26	since he longed after you all, and was greatly troubled, because you had heard that he was sick:
Philippians 2:27	for indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
Philippians 2:28	I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Philippians 2:29	Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:
Philippians 2:30	because for the work of Messiah he came near to death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
Philippians 3:1	Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:2	Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:
Philippians 3:3	for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh:
Philippians 3:4	though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinks to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Philippians 3:5	circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Torah, a Pharisee;
Philippians 3:6	as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to the righteousness which is in the Torah, found blameless.
Philippians 3:7	However, whatever things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Messiah.
Philippians 3:8	Yes truly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Messiah Yeshua my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Messiah,
Philippians 3:9	and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, even that which is of the Torah, but that which is through faith in Messiah, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
Philippians 3:10	that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
Philippians 3:11	if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Philippians 3:12	Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if indeed I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Messiah Yeshua.
Philippians 3:13	Brothers, I do not count myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Philippians 3:14	I press on toward the goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
Philippians 3:15	Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything you are otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you:
Philippians 3:16	only, to what we have attained, by that same rule let us walk.
Philippians 3:17	Brothers, be imitators together of me, and mark those who so walk even as you have us for an example.
Philippians 3:18	For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Messiah:
Philippians 3:19	whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.
Philippians 3:20	For our citizenship is in heaven; from where also we wait for a Savior, the Lord Yeshua Messiah:
Philippians 3:21	who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Philippians 4:1	Therefore, my brothers beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.
Philippians 4:2	I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Philippians 4:3	Yes, I ask you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Philippians 4:4	Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
Philippians 4:5	Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Philippians 4:6	In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:7	And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah Yeshua.
Philippians 4:8	Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:9	The things which you both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 4:10	But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
Philippians 4:11	Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, in it to be content.
Philippians 4:12	I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
Philippians 4:13	I can do all things in him who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:14	However, you did well that you had fellowship with my affliction.
Philippians 4:15	And you yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only;
Philippians 4:16	for even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
Philippians 4:17	Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
Philippians 4:18	But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
Philippians 4:19	And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Messiah Yeshua.
Philippians 4:20	Now to our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:21	Greet every saint in Messiah Yeshua. The brothers who are with me greet you.
Philippians 4:22	All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Cæsar’s household.
Philippians 4:23	The grace of the Lord Yeshua Messiah be with your spirit.
Colossians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Colossians 1:2	to the saints and faithful brothers in Messiah who are at Colossæ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father.
Colossians 1:3	We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, praying always for you,
Colossians 1:4	having heard of your faith in Messiah Yeshua, and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
Colossians 1:5	because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,
Colossians 1:6	which has come to you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;
Colossians 1:7	even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Messiah on our behalf,
Colossians 1:8	who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
Colossians 1:9	For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
Colossians 1:10	to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:11	strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, to all patience and longsuffering with joy;
Colossians 1:12	giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
Colossians 1:13	who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Colossians 1:14	in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
Colossians 1:15	who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Colossians 1:16	for in him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and to him;
Colossians 1:17	and he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:18	And he is the head of the body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Colossians 1:19	For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him all the fullness should dwell;
Colossians 1:20	and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens.
Colossians 1:21	And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,
Colossians 1:22	yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and beyond reproach before him:
Colossians 1:23	if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; of which I Paul was made a minister.
Colossians 1:24	Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly;
Colossians 1:25	of which I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,
Colossians 1:26	even the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations: but now it has been manifested to his saints,
Colossians 1:27	to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 1:28	whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah;
Colossians 1:29	for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
Colossians 2:1	For I want you to know how greatly I strive for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Colossians 2:2	that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Messiah,
Colossians 2:3	in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
Colossians 2:4	This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
Colossians 2:5	For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, rejoicing and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Messiah.
Colossians 2:6	As therefore you received Messiah Yeshua the Lord, so walk in him,
Colossians 2:7	rooted and built up in him, and established in your faith, even as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:8	Take heed that there not be anyone who takes you captive through his philosophy and vain deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Messiah:
Colossians 2:9	for in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,
Colossians 2:10	and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power:
Colossians 2:11	in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Messiah;
Colossians 2:12	having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:13	And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, he made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;
Colossians 2:14	having blotted out the bond written in decrees that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
Colossians 2:15	having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:16	Therefore let no man judge you in food, or in drink, or in regard to a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
Colossians 2:17	which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
Colossians 2:18	Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worship of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Colossians 2:19	and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, increases with the increase of God.
Colossians 2:20	If you died with Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
Colossians 2:21	Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch
Colossians 2:22	(all of which things are to perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
Colossians 2:23	Which things indeed have a show of wisdom in self-made worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Colossians 3:1	If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:2	Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
Colossians 3:3	For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in God.
Colossians 3:4	When Messiah, who is our life, is manifested, then you also shall be manifested with him in glory.
Colossians 3:5	Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
Colossians 3:6	because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience:
Colossians 3:7	in which you also once walked, when you lived in these things;
Colossians 3:8	but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
Colossians 3:9	do not lie to one another; seeing that you have put off the old man with his practices,
Colossians 3:10	and have put on the new man, which is being renewed to knowledge according to the image of him who created him:
Colossians 3:11	where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man; but Messiah is all, and in all.
Colossians 3:12	Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians 3:13	forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so you also must do:
Colossians 3:14	and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.
Colossians 3:15	And let the peace of Messiah rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:16	Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:17	And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:18	Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Colossians 3:19	Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter against them.
Colossians 3:20	Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
Colossians 3:21	Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they may not be discouraged.
Colossians 3:22	Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
Colossians 3:23	whatever you do, work heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men;
Colossians 3:24	knowing that from the Lord you shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: you serve the Lord Messiah.
Colossians 3:25	For he who does wrong shall receive back for the wrong that he has done: and there is no partiality.
Colossians 4:1	Masters, render to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians 4:2	Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving;
Colossians 4:3	praying at the same time for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds;
Colossians 4:4	that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Colossians 4:5	Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Colossians 4:6	Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
Colossians 4:7	All my affairs Tychicus will make known to you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:
Colossians 4:8	whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;
Colossians 4:9	together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known to you all things that are done here.
Colossians 4:10	Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments; if he comes to you, receive him),
Colossians 4:11	and Yeshua who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are my fellow-workers for the kingdom of God, men who have been a comfort to me.
Colossians 4:12	Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah Yeshua, greets you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.
Colossians 4:13	For I bear him witness, that he has much labor for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
Colossians 4:14	Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
Colossians 4:15	Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in their house.
Colossians 4:16	And when this epistle has been read among you, have it read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the epistle from Laodicea.
Colossians 4:17	And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfill it.
Colossians 4:18	I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you.
1 Thessalonians 1:1	Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah: Grace to you and peace.
1 Thessalonians 1:2	We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
1 Thessalonians 1:3	remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Yeshua Messiah, before our God and Father;
1 Thessalonians 1:4	knowing, brothers beloved by God, your election,
1 Thessalonians 1:5	how our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as you know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.
1 Thessalonians 1:6	And you became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;
1 Thessalonians 1:7	so that you became an example to all those believing in Macedonia and in Achaia.
1 Thessalonians 1:8	For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say anything.
1 Thessalonians 1:9	For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had to you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
1 Thessalonians 1:10	and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Yeshua, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 2:1	For you yourselves, brothers, know our entering in to you, that it has not been in vain:
1 Thessalonians 2:2	but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.
1 Thessalonians 2:3	For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
1 Thessalonians 2:4	but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.
1 Thessalonians 2:5	For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a pretext for covetousness, God is witness;
1 Thessalonians 2:6	nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Messiah.
1 Thessalonians 2:7	But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nursing mother cherishes her own children:
1 Thessalonians 2:8	even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
1 Thessalonians 2:9	For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
1 Thessalonians 2:10	You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and righteously and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who are believing:
1 Thessalonians 2:11	as you know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging you, and testifying,
1 Thessalonians 2:12	to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians 2:13	And for this reason we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who are believing.
1 Thessalonians 2:14	For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Messiah Yeshua: for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;
1 Thessalonians 2:15	who both killed the Lord Yeshua and the prophets, and drove us out, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men;
1 Thessalonians 2:16	forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
1 Thessalonians 2:17	But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short time, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:
1 Thessalonians 2:18	because we wanted to come to you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us.
1 Thessalonians 2:19	For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Are not even you, before our Lord Yeshua at his coming?
1 Thessalonians 2:20	For you are our glory and our joy.
1 Thessalonians 3:1	Therefore when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone;
1 Thessalonians 3:2	and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s minister in the gospel of Messiah, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith;
1 Thessalonians 3:3	that no man should be moved by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.
1 Thessalonians 3:4	For truly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it happened, and you know.
1 Thessalonians 3:5	For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure it, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain.
1 Thessalonians 3:6	But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, longing to see us, even as we also long to see you;
1 Thessalonians 3:7	for this reason, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:
1 Thessalonians 3:8	for now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 3:9	For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;
1 Thessalonians 3:10	night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect what is lacking in your faith?
1 Thessalonians 3:11	Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Yeshua, direct our way to you:
1 Thessalonians 3:12	and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you;
1 Thessalonians 3:13	so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Yeshua with all his saints.
1 Thessalonians 4:1	Finally then, brothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Yeshua, that, as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, even as you do walk,—that you abound more and more.
1 Thessalonians 4:2	For you know what charge we gave you through the Lord Yeshua.
1 Thessalonians 4:3	For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication;
1 Thessalonians 4:4	that each one of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
1 Thessalonians 4:5	not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who do not know God;
1 Thessalonians 4:6	that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we also forewarned you and testified.
1 Thessalonians 4:7	For God did not call us for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
1 Thessalonians 4:8	Therefore he who rejects this, rejects not man, but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
1 Thessalonians 4:9	But concerning love of the brothers you have no need that anyone write to you: for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;
1 Thessalonians 4:10	for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
1 Thessalonians 4:11	and that you aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;
1 Thessalonians 4:12	that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
1 Thessalonians 4:13	But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who fall asleep; that you may not grieve, even as the rest, who have no hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:14	For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those also who have fallen asleep in Yeshua.
1 Thessalonians 4:15	For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:16	For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Messiah shall rise first;
1 Thessalonians 4:17	then we who are alive, who are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so we shall always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:18	Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 5:1	But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:2	For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes like a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:3	When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes on them, as labor pains on a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:4	But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you like a thief:
1 Thessalonians 5:5	for you are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;
1 Thessalonians 5:6	so then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:7	For those who sleep sleep in the night; and those who get drunk are drunk in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:8	But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:9	For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Yeshua Messiah,
1 Thessalonians 5:10	who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1 Thessalonians 5:11	Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
1 Thessalonians 5:12	But we ask you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
1 Thessalonians 5:13	and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:14	And we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
1 Thessalonians 5:15	See that no one renders to anyone evil for evil; but always pursue what is good, one toward another, and toward all.
1 Thessalonians 5:16	Rejoice always;
1 Thessalonians 5:17	pray without ceasing;
1 Thessalonians 5:18	in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua toward you.
1 Thessalonians 5:19	Do not quench the Spirit;
1 Thessalonians 5:20	do not despise prophesyings;
1 Thessalonians 5:21	test all things; hold fast what is good;
1 Thessalonians 5:22	abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:23	And may the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
1 Thessalonians 5:24	Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:25	Brothers, pray for us.
1 Thessalonians 5:26	Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians 5:27	I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers.
1 Thessalonians 5:28	The grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah be with you.
2 Thessalonians 1:1	Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah;
2 Thessalonians 1:2	Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2 Thessalonians 1:3	We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, even as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another abounds;
2 Thessalonians 1:4	so that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure;
2 Thessalonians 1:5	which is a manifest sign of the righteous judgment of God; so that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer:
2 Thessalonians 1:6	since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
2 Thessalonians 1:7	and to you who are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Yeshua from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,
2 Thessalonians 1:8	rendering vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Yeshua:
2 Thessalonians 1:9	who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
2 Thessalonians 1:10	when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all those who believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
2 Thessalonians 1:11	To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power;
2 Thessalonians 1:12	that the name of our Lord Yeshua may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2 Thessalonians 2:1	Now we urge you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, and our gathering together to him;
2 Thessalonians 2:2	that you may not be quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as though the day of the Lord is just at hand;
2 Thessalonians 2:3	let no man deceive you in any way: for it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,
2 Thessalonians 2:4	he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
2 Thessalonians 2:5	Do you not remember, that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?
2 Thessalonians 2:6	And now you know that which restrains, so that he may be revealed in his own season.
2 Thessalonians 2:7	For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work: only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians 2:8	And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Yeshua shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his coming;
2 Thessalonians 2:9	even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2 Thessalonians 2:10	and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:11	And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians 2:12	that they all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:13	But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians 2:14	to which he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2 Thessalonians 2:15	So then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word, or by letter of ours.
2 Thessalonians 2:16	Now our Lord Yeshua Messiah himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
2 Thessalonians 2:17	comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
2 Thessalonians 3:1	Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you;
2 Thessalonians 3:2	and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.
2 Thessalonians 3:3	But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:4	And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things which we command.
2 Thessalonians 3:5	And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Messiah.
2 Thessalonians 3:6	Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they received from us.
2 Thessalonians 3:7	For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we did not behave ourselves disorderly among you;
2 Thessalonians 3:8	neither did we eat bread for nothing at any man’s hand, but in labor and toil, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:
2 Thessalonians 3:9	not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
2 Thessalonians 3:10	For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.
2 Thessalonians 3:11	For we hear of some who walk among you disorderly, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
2 Thessalonians 3:12	Now those who are such we command and exhort in the Lord Yeshua Messiah, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
2 Thessalonians 3:13	But you, brothers, do not be weary in well-doing.
2 Thessalonians 3:14	And if any man does not obey our word by this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, so that he may be ashamed.
2 Thessalonians 3:15	And yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
2 Thessalonians 3:16	Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:17	The greeting of me Paul with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: so I write.
2 Thessalonians 3:18	The grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah be with you all.
1 Timothy 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua our hope;
1 Timothy 1:2	to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
1 Timothy 1:3	As I urged you to remain at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that you might charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
1 Timothy 1:4	nor to pay attention to fables and endless genealogies, which promote speculations, rather than a stewardship of God which is in faith; so do I now.
1 Timothy 1:5	But the goal of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith:
1 Timothy 1:6	from which things some, having swerved, have turned aside to vain talking;
1 Timothy 1:7	desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor the things about which they confidently affirm.
1 Timothy 1:8	But we know that the Torah is good, if a man uses it lawfully,
1 Timothy 1:9	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 murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1 Timothy 1:10	for fornicators, for men who lie with males, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
1 Timothy 1:11	according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1 Timothy 1:12	I thank him who enabled me, even Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service;
1 Timothy 1:13	though I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insolent man: however, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
1 Timothy 1:14	and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
1 Timothy 1:15	Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:
1 Timothy 1:16	however, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me as chief Yeshua Messiah might show forth all his longsuffering, for an example to those who would afterward believe in him to eternal life.
1 Timothy 1:17	Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:18	This charge I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;
1 Timothy 1:19	holding faith and a good conscience; which some, having pushed away, have made shipwreck concerning the faith:
1 Timothy 1:20	among whom are Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
1 Timothy 2:1	I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;
1 Timothy 2:2	for kings and all who are in high positions; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 2:3	This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
1 Timothy 2:4	who desires all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:5	For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Messiah Yeshua,
1 Timothy 2:6	who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;
1 Timothy 2:7	for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Timothy 2:8	I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing.
1 Timothy 2:9	In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with modesty and self-control; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly clothing;
1 Timothy 2:10	but (which is fitting for women professing godliness) through good works.
1 Timothy 2:11	Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.
1 Timothy 2:12	But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to have authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
1 Timothy 2:13	For Adam was first formed, then Eve;
1 Timothy 2:14	and Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived has fallen into transgression:
1 Timothy 2:15	but she shall be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with self-control.
1 Timothy 3:1	Faithful is the saying, If a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work.
1 Timothy 3:2	The overseer therefore must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, respectable, hospitable, able to teach;
1 Timothy 3:3	not a drunkard, not violent; but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money;
1 Timothy 3:4	one who rules his own house well, having his children in subjection with all dignity;
1 Timothy 3:5	(but if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the assembly of God?)
1 Timothy 3:6	not a recent convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:7	Moreover he must have a good testimony from those who are outside; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:8	Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain;
1 Timothy 3:9	holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1 Timothy 3:10	And let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, if they are blameless.
1 Timothy 3:11	Women likewise must be dignified, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy 3:12	Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
1 Timothy 3:13	For those who have served well as deacons gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.
1 Timothy 3:14	I write these things to you, hoping to come to you shortly;
1 Timothy 3:15	but if I am delayed, that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:16	And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
1 Timothy 4:1	But the Spirit says expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
1 Timothy 4:2	through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, seared in their own conscience as with a hot iron;
1 Timothy 4:3	forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
1 Timothy 4:4	For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving:
1 Timothy 4:5	for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy 4:6	If you put the brothers in mind of these things, you shall be a good minister of Messiah Yeshua, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed until now:
1 Timothy 4:7	but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And train yourself for godliness:
1 Timothy 4:8	for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.
1 Timothy 4:9	Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance.
1 Timothy 4:10	For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
1 Timothy 4:11	These things command and teach.
1 Timothy 4:12	Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:13	Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
1 Timothy 4:14	Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
1 Timothy 4:15	Be diligent in these things; give yourself wholly to them; that your progress may be evident to all.
1 Timothy 4:16	Pay attention to yourself, and to your teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this you shall save both yourself and those who hear you.
1 Timothy 5:1	Do not rebuke an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers:
1 Timothy 5:2	the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.
1 Timothy 5:3	Honor widows who are widows indeed.
1 Timothy 5:4	But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family, and to repay their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
1 Timothy 5:5	Now she who is a widow indeed, and left alone, has her hope set on God, and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
1 Timothy 5:6	But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.
1 Timothy 5:7	These things also command, that they may be without reproach.
1 Timothy 5:8	But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:9	Let none be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
1 Timothy 5:10	well spoken of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.
1 Timothy 5:11	But refuse younger widows: for when they have grown wanton against Messiah, they desire to marry;
1 Timothy 5:12	having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.
1 Timothy 5:13	And at the same time they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but gossips also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1 Timothy 5:14	I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:
1 Timothy 5:15	for already some have turned aside after Satan.
1 Timothy 5:16	If any woman who believes has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened; that it may relieve those who are widows indeed.
1 Timothy 5:17	Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.
1 Timothy 5:18	For the scripture says, You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain. And, The laborer is worthy of his wages.
1 Timothy 5:19	Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
1 Timothy 5:20	Those who sin rebuke in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.
1 Timothy 5:21	I charge you in the sight of God, and Messiah Yeshua, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.
1 Timothy 5:22	Do not lay hands hastily on any man, nor share in other men’s sins: keep yourself pure.
1 Timothy 5:23	No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.
1 Timothy 5:24	Some men’s sins are evident, going before them to judgment; and some men’s sins follow after.
1 Timothy 5:25	In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and those that are otherwise cannot be hidden.
1 Timothy 6:1	Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine may not be blasphemed.
1 Timothy 6:2	And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers; but let them serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
1 Timothy 6:3	If any man teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, even the words of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1 Timothy 6:4	he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but has a morbid craving for questionings and disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions,
1 Timothy 6:5	constant friction of men corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of gain.
1 Timothy 6:6	But godliness with contentment is great gain:
1 Timothy 6:7	for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
1 Timothy 6:8	but having food and covering we shall be content with these.
1 Timothy 6:9	But those who desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge men into destruction and perdition.
1 Timothy 6:10	For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some, reaching after it, have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:11	But you, O man of God, flee these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1 Timothy 6:12	Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, to which you were called, and made the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:13	I charge you in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and of Messiah Yeshua, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;
1 Timothy 6:14	that you keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Messiah:
1 Timothy 6:15	which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1 Timothy 6:16	who only has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.
1 Timothy 6:17	Charge those who are rich in this present world, that they be not haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly gives us all things to enjoy;
1 Timothy 6:18	that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
1 Timothy 6:19	storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.
1 Timothy 6:20	O Timothy, guard what has been committed to you, turning away from the profane babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge;
1 Timothy 6:21	which some professing have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
2 Timothy 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Yeshua,
2 Timothy 1:2	to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:3	I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of you in my supplications, night and day
2 Timothy 1:4	longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2 Timothy 1:5	having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in you also.
2 Timothy 1:6	For this reason I remind you that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:7	For God did not give us a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
2 Timothy 1:8	Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;
2 Timothy 1:9	who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Messiah Yeshua before times eternal,
2 Timothy 1:10	but has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Messiah Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
2 Timothy 1:11	to which I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
2 Timothy 1:12	For this reason I also suffer 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 committed to him against that day.
2 Timothy 1:13	Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 1:14	That good thing which was committed to you guard through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us.
2 Timothy 1:15	This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy 1:16	The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
2 Timothy 1:17	but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
2 Timothy 1:18	(the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know very well.
2 Timothy 2:1	You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 2:2	And the things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:3	Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 2:4	No soldier on service entangles himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
2 Timothy 2:5	And if also a man competes in the games, he is not crowned, unless he has competed lawfully.
2 Timothy 2:6	The farmer who labors must be the first to partake of the fruits.
2 Timothy 2:7	Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give you understanding in all things.
2 Timothy 2:8	Remember Yeshua Messiah, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:
2 Timothy 2:9	in which I suffer hardship to the point of bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
2 Timothy 2:10	Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.
2 Timothy 2:11	Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
2 Timothy 2:12	if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2 Timothy 2:13	if we are faithless, he abides faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy 2:14	Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they not quarrel about words, to no profit, to the ruin of those who hear.
2 Timothy 2:15	Give diligence to present yourself approved to God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:16	But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
2 Timothy 2:17	and their word will eat as does a gangrene: of whom are Hymenæus and Philetus;
2 Timothy 2:18	men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
2 Timothy 2:19	However, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, Yehovah knows those who are his: and, Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
2 Timothy 2:20	Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
2 Timothy 2:21	If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified, useful for the master’s use, prepared to every good work.
2 Timothy 2:22	But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:23	But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they breed quarrels.
2 Timothy 2:24	And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,
2 Timothy 2:25	in meekness correcting those who oppose themselves; if perhaps God may give them repentance to the knowledge of the truth,
2 Timothy 2:26	and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to his will.
2 Timothy 3:1	But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
2 Timothy 3:2	For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2 Timothy 3:3	without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
2 Timothy 3:4	traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
2 Timothy 3:5	holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power: from these also turn away.
2 Timothy 3:6	For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive weak women laden with sins, led away by various lusts,
2 Timothy 3:7	ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:8	And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.
2 Timothy 3:9	But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was.
2 Timothy 3:10	But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,
2 Timothy 3:11	persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2 Timothy 3:12	Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yeshua shall suffer persecution.
2 Timothy 3:13	But evil men and impostors shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:14	But abide in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;
2 Timothy 3:15	and that from a babe you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise to salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua.
2 Timothy 3:16	Every scripture inspired by God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:17	that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely to every good work.
2 Timothy 4:1	I charge you in the sight of God, and of Messiah Yeshua, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2 Timothy 4:2	preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
2 Timothy 4:3	For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;
2 Timothy 4:4	and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
2 Timothy 4:5	But be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
2 Timothy 4:6	For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
2 Timothy 4:7	I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
2 Timothy 4:8	from now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
2 Timothy 4:9	Give diligence to come shortly to me:
2 Timothy 4:10	for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
2 Timothy 4:11	Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you; for he is useful to me for ministering.
2 Timothy 4:12	But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
2 Timothy 4:13	The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
2 Timothy 4:14	Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:
2 Timothy 4:15	beware of him yourself also; for he greatly withstood our words.
2 Timothy 4:16	At my first defense no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.
2 Timothy 4:17	But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
2 Timothy 4:18	The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me to his heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:19	Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
2 Timothy 4:20	Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.
2 Timothy 4:21	Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.
2 Timothy 4:22	The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
Titus 1:1	Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Yeshua Messiah, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
Titus 1:2	in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;
Titus 1:3	but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
Titus 1:4	to Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Savior.
Titus 1:5	For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that were lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave you charge;
Titus 1:6	if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly.
Titus 1:7	For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy for shameful gain;
Titus 1:8	but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;
Titus 1:9	holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict.
Titus 1:10	For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Titus 1:11	whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of shameful gain.
Titus 1:12	One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons.
Titus 1:13	This testimony is true. For this reason reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
Titus 1:14	not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
Titus 1:15	To the pure all things are pure: but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
Titus 1:16	They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.
Titus 2:1	But speak the things which befit the sound doctrine:
Titus 2:2	that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:
Titus 2:3	that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;
Titus 2:4	that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,
Titus 2:5	to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed:
Titus 2:6	the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:
Titus 2:7	in all things showing yourself an example of good works; in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity,
Titus 2:8	sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us.
Titus 2:9	Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing to them in all things; not contradicting;
Titus 2:10	not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.
Titus 2:11	For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Titus 2:12	instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;
Titus 2:13	looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Yeshua Messiah;
Titus 2:14	who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
Titus 2:15	These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.
Titus 3:1	Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
Titus 3:2	to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
Titus 3:3	For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
Titus 3:4	But when the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared,
Titus 3:5	not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:6	which he poured out on us richly, through Yeshua Messiah our Savior;
Titus 3:7	that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:8	Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, to the end that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men:
Titus 3:9	but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10	A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;
Titus 3:11	knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
Titus 3:12	When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
Titus 3:13	Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be lacking to them.
Titus 3:14	And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
Titus 3:15	All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
Philemon 1:1	Paul, a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
Philemon 1:2	and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
Philemon 1:3	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Messiah.
Philemon 1:4	I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Philemon 1:5	hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Yeshua, and toward all the saints;
Philemon 1:6	that the fellowship of your faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, to Messiah.
Philemon 1:7	For I had much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Philemon 1:8	Therefore, though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is fitting,
Philemon 1:9	yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Messiah Yeshua:
Philemon 1:10	I appeal to you for my child, whom I have fathered in my bonds, Onesimus,
Philemon 1:11	who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me:
Philemon 1:12	whom I have sent back to you in his own person, that is, my very heart:
Philemon 1:13	whom I would gladly have kept with me, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel:
Philemon 1:14	but without your consent I would do nothing; that your goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Philemon 1:15	For perhaps he was therefore parted from you for a time, that you should have him forever;
Philemon 1:16	no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Philemon 1:17	If then you count me a partner, receive him as myself.
Philemon 1:18	But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account;
Philemon 1:19	I Paul write it with my own hand, I will repay it: not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides.
Philemon 1:20	Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my heart in Messiah.
Philemon 1:21	Having confidence in your obedience I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Philemon 1:22	But at the same time also prepare a lodging for me: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Philemon 1:23	Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you;
Philemon 1:24	and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
Philemon 1:25	The grace of our Lord Yeshua Messiah be with your spirit. Amen.
Hebrews 1:1	God, having long ago spoken to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in various ways,
Hebrews 1:2	has at the end of these days spoken to us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 1:3	who being the radiance of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews 1:4	having become by so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
Hebrews 1:5	For to which of the angels did he ever say, You are my Son, This day I have begotten you? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?
Hebrews 1:6	And when he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the angels of God bow down before him.
Hebrews 1:7	And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire:
Hebrews 1:8	but of the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
Hebrews 1:9	You have loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, your God, has anointed you With the oil of gladness above your fellows.
Hebrews 1:10	And, You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of your hands:
Hebrews 1:11	They shall perish; but you continue: And they all shall grow old like a garment;
Hebrews 1:12	And like a mantle you shall roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But you are the same, And your years shall not fail.
Hebrews 1:13	But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?
Hebrews 1:14	Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of those who shall inherit salvation?
Hebrews 2:1	Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest we drift away from them.
Hebrews 2:2	For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
Hebrews 2:3	how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
Hebrews 2:4	God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.
Hebrews 2:5	For it was not to angels that he subjected the world to come, of which we speak.
Hebrews 2:6	But one has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? Or the son of man, that you visit him?
Hebrews 2:7	You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of your hands:
Hebrews 2:8	You put all things in subjection under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
Hebrews 2:9	But we behold him who has been made a little lower than the angels, even Yeshua, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man.
Hebrews 2:10	For it was fitting for him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews 2:11	For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all of one: for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Hebrews 2:12	saying, I will declare your name to my brothers, In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.
Hebrews 2:13	And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God has given me.
Hebrews 2:14	Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews 2:15	and might deliver all those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews 2:16	For truly not to angels does he give help, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.
Hebrews 2:17	Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in all things, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:18	For since he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
Hebrews 3:1	Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Yeshua;
Hebrews 3:2	who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.
Hebrews 3:3	For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he who built the house has more honor than the house.
Hebrews 3:4	For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.
Hebrews 3:5	And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;
Hebrews 3:6	but Messiah as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.
Hebrews 3:7	Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you hear his voice,
Hebrews 3:8	Do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
Hebrews 3:9	Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years.
Hebrews 3:10	Therefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They always go astray in their heart: But they did not know my ways;
Hebrews 3:11	As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
Hebrews 3:12	Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:
Hebrews 3:13	but exhort one another day by day, as long as it is called Today; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:
Hebrews 3:14	for we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:
Hebrews 3:15	while it is said, Today if you hear his voice, Do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews 3:16	For who, when they heard, provoked? no, was it not all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
Hebrews 3:17	And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews 3:18	And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
Hebrews 3:19	And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:1	Let us fear therefore, lest, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.
Hebrews 4:2	For indeed we have had good tidings preached to us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with those who heard.
Hebrews 4:3	For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Hebrews 4:4	For he has said somewhere of the seventh day in this way, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;
Hebrews 4:5	and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.
Hebrews 4:6	Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good tidings were preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Hebrews 4:7	he again appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as has been said before), Today if you hear his voice, Do not harden your hearts.
Hebrews 4:8	For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
Hebrews 4:9	There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10	For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
Hebrews 4:11	Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.
Hebrews 4:12	For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:13	And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Hebrews 4:14	Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
Hebrews 4:15	For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities; but one who has been in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 4:16	Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
Hebrews 5:1	For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hebrews 5:2	who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is beset with infirmity;
Hebrews 5:3	and because of this is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hebrews 5:4	And no man takes the honor to himself, but when he is called by God, even as was Aaron.
Hebrews 5:5	So Messiah also did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but he who spoke to him, You are my Son, This day I have begotten you:
Hebrews 5:6	as he says also in another place, You are a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:7	Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
Hebrews 5:8	though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;
Hebrews 5:9	and having been made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the author of eternal salvation;
Hebrews 5:10	named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:11	Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, since you have become dull of hearing.
Hebrews 5:12	For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers, you have need again that someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and have become such as need milk, and not of solid food.
Hebrews 5:13	For everyone who partakes of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.
Hebrews 5:14	But solid food is for full-grown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
Hebrews 6:1	Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Messiah, let us press on to perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 6:2	of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:3	And this we will do, if God permits.
Hebrews 6:4	For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Hebrews 6:5	and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,
Hebrews 6:6	and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 6:7	For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth herbs suitable for those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God:
Hebrews 6:8	but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near to a curse; whose end is to be burned.
Hebrews 6:9	But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
Hebrews 6:10	for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you ministered to the saints, and still minister.
Hebrews 6:11	And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end:
Hebrews 6:12	that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews 6:13	For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
Hebrews 6:14	saying, Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.
Hebrews 6:15	And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews 6:16	For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
Hebrews 6:17	In which God, intending to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
Hebrews 6:18	that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
Hebrews 6:19	which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
Hebrews 6:20	where as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:1	For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Hebrews 7:2	to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Hebrews 7:3	without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), abides a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:4	Now consider how great this man was, to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.
Hebrews 7:5	And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Torah, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:
Hebrews 7:6	but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
Hebrews 7:7	But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Hebrews 7:8	And here men who die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
Hebrews 7:9	And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes;
Hebrews 7:10	for he was still in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
Hebrews 7:11	Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12	For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the Torah.
Hebrews 7:13	For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no man has given attendance at the altar.
Hebrews 7:14	For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
Hebrews 7:15	And what we say is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
Hebrews 7:16	who has been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
Hebrews 7:17	for it is witnessed of him, You are a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:18	For there is an annulling of a former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness
Hebrews 7:19	(for the Torah made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:20	And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath
Hebrews 7:21	(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who says of him, Yehovah swore and will not repent himself, You are a priest forever);
Hebrews 7:22	by so much also has Yeshua become the surety of a better covenant.
Hebrews 7:23	And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because by death they are hindered from continuing:
Hebrews 7:24	but he, because he abides forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
Hebrews 7:25	Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:26	For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Hebrews 7:27	who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 7:28	For the Torah appoints men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Torah, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.
Hebrews 8:1	Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
Hebrews 8:2	a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
Hebrews 8:3	For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
Hebrews 8:4	Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the Torah;
Hebrews 8:5	who serve that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned by God when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, he says, that you make all things according to the pattern that was shown you in the mount.
Hebrews 8:6	But now he has obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7	For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Hebrews 8:8	For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says Yehovah, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Hebrews 8:9	Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And I did not regard them, says Yehovah.
Hebrews 8:10	For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says Yehovah; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also I will write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews 8:11	And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know Yehovah: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
Hebrews 8:12	For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins I will remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13	In that he says, A new covenant, he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and growing aged is near to vanishing away.
Hebrews 9:1	Now even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world.
Hebrews 9:2	For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, in which were the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place.
Hebrews 9:3	And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;
Hebrews 9:4	having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all around with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Hebrews 9:5	and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak in detail.
Hebrews 9:6	Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;
Hebrews 9:7	but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people:
Hebrews 9:8	the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place has not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is still standing;
Hebrews 9:9	which is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, concerning the conscience, make the worshiper perfect,
Hebrews 9:10	being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
Hebrews 9:11	But Messiah having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
Hebrews 9:12	nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:13	For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14	how much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15	And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16	For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
Hebrews 9:17	For a testament is of force where there has been death: for it never avails while he who made it lives.
Hebrews 9:18	Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
Hebrews 9:19	For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Torah, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
Hebrews 9:20	saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded for you.
Hebrews 9:21	Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood.
Hebrews 9:22	And according to the Torah, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
Hebrews 9:23	It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24	For Messiah did not enter into a holy place made with hands, a copy of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
Hebrews 9:25	nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;
Hebrews 9:26	otherwise he would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages he has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27	And inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this comes judgment;
Hebrews 9:28	so Messiah also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to those who wait for him, to salvation.
Hebrews 10:1	For the Torah having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
Hebrews 10:2	Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
Hebrews 10:3	But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.
Hebrews 10:4	For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 10:5	Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, But a body you prepared for me;
Hebrews 10:6	In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure:
Hebrews 10:7	Then I said, Behold, I have come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do your will, O God.
Hebrews 10:8	Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you did not desire, nor had pleasure in them (which are offered according to the Torah),
Hebrews 10:9	then he has said, Behold, I have come to do your will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second.
Hebrews 10:10	By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yeshua Messiah once for all.
Hebrews 10:11	And every priest indeed stands day by day ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Hebrews 10:12	but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:13	from then on waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
Hebrews 10:14	For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified.
Hebrews 10:15	And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after he has said,
Hebrews 10:16	This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, says Yehovah: I will put my laws on their heart, And on their mind also I will write them; then he says,
Hebrews 10:17	And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.
Hebrews 10:18	Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Hebrews 10:19	Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Yeshua,
Hebrews 10:20	by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Hebrews 10:21	and having a great priest over the house of God;
Hebrews 10:22	let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,
Hebrews 10:23	let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it may not waver; for he who promised is faithful:
Hebrews 10:24	and let us consider one another to provoke to love and good works;
Hebrews 10:25	not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:26	For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:27	but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:28	A man who has set aside the Torah of Moses dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:
Hebrews 10:29	of how much worse punishment, do you think, shall he be judged worthy, who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:30	For we know him who said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense. And again, Yehovah shall judge his people.
Hebrews 10:31	It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:32	But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;
Hebrews 10:33	partly, being made a public spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were so treated.
Hebrews 10:34	For you both had compassion on those who were in bonds, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.
Hebrews 10:35	Therefore do not cast away your boldness, which has great recompense of reward.
Hebrews 10:36	For you have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:37	For yet a very little while, He who comes shall come, and shall not delay.
Hebrews 10:38	But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.
Hebrews 10:39	But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction; but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews 11:1	Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:2	For by it the elders had witness borne to them.
Hebrews 11:3	By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which appear.
Hebrews 11:4	By faith Abel offered to 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 through it he being dead yet speaks.
Hebrews 11:5	By faith Enoch was taken up that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God took him up: for he has had witness borne to him that before he was taken up he had been well-pleasing to God:
Hebrews 11:6	and without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing to him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek after him.
Hebrews 11:7	By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Hebrews 11:8	By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Hebrews 11:9	By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Hebrews 11:10	for he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:11	By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:
Hebrews 11:12	therefore also there sprang from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable.
Hebrews 11:13	These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews 11:14	For those who say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.
Hebrews 11:15	And if indeed they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.
Hebrews 11:16	But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one: therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:17	By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: indeed, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;
Hebrews 11:18	even he to whom it was said, In Isaac your seed shall be called:
Hebrews 11:19	accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from which he also in a figure received him back.
Hebrews 11:20	By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Hebrews 11:21	By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and bowed down, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Hebrews 11:22	By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Hebrews 11:23	By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Hebrews 11:24	By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Hebrews 11:25	choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Hebrews 11:26	accounting the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked to the recompense of reward.
Hebrews 11:27	By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 11:28	By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Hebrews 11:29	By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up.
Hebrews 11:30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Hebrews 11:31	By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
Hebrews 11:32	And what more shall I say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:
Hebrews 11:33	who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Hebrews 11:34	quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.
Hebrews 11:35	Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Hebrews 11:36	and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, indeed, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Hebrews 11:37	they were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated
Hebrews 11:38	(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
Hebrews 11:39	And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
Hebrews 11:40	God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 12:1	Therefore let us also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2	looking to Yeshua the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3	For consider him who has endured such hostility of sinners against himself, that you may not grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Hebrews 12:4	You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin:
Hebrews 12:5	and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, My son, do not regard lightly the chastening of Yehovah, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;
Hebrews 12:6	For whom Yehovah loves he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives.
Hebrews 12:7	It is for chastening that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not chasten?
Hebrews 12:8	But if you are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
Hebrews 12:9	Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
Hebrews 12:10	For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Hebrews 12:11	All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields peaceable fruit to those who have been trained by it, even the fruit of righteousness.
Hebrews 12:12	Therefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the weakened knees;
Hebrews 12:13	and make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather be healed.
Hebrews 12:14	Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:15	looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it the many be defiled;
Hebrews 12:16	lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for a single meal sold his own birthright.
Hebrews 12:17	For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind in his father, though he sought it diligently with tears.
Hebrews 12:18	For you have not come to a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Hebrews 12:19	and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice those who heard begged that no word more should be spoken to them;
Hebrews 12:20	for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned;
Hebrews 12:21	and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:
Hebrews 12:22	but you have come to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,
Hebrews 12:23	to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Hebrews 12:24	and to Yeshua the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
Hebrews 12:25	See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven:
Hebrews 12:26	whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I will make tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.
Hebrews 12:27	And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Hebrews 12:28	Therefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:
Hebrews 12:29	for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 13:1	Let love of the brothers continue.
Hebrews 13:2	Do not forget to show love to strangers: for by this some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:3	Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; those who are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body.
Hebrews 13:4	Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews 13:5	Be free from the love of money; content with such things as you have: for he himself has said, I will by no means fail you, nor will I by any means forsake you.
Hebrews 13:6	So that with good courage we say, Yehovah is my helper; I will not fear: What shall man do to me?
Hebrews 13:7	Remember those who had the rule over you, men who spoke to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith.
Hebrews 13:8	Yeshua Messiah is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.
Hebrews 13:9	Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by foods, in which those who occupied themselves were not profited.
Hebrews 13:10	We have an altar, of which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
Hebrews 13:11	For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
Hebrews 13:12	Therefore Yeshua also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Hebrews 13:13	Let us therefore go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.
Hebrews 13:14	For we do not have here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.
Hebrews 13:15	Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.
Hebrews 13:16	But do not forget to do good and to share: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:17	Obey those who have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as those who shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this would be unprofitable for you.
Hebrews 13:18	Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
Hebrews 13:19	And I exhort you all the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Hebrews 13:20	Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Yeshua,
Hebrews 13:21	make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Yeshua Messiah; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:22	But I exhort you, brothers, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written to you in few words.
Hebrews 13:23	Know that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty; with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
Hebrews 13:24	Greet all those who have the rule over you, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you.
Hebrews 13:25	Grace be with you all. Amen.
James 1:1	James, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
James 1:2	Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations;
James 1:3	knowing that the proving of your faith works patience.
James 1:4	And let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
James 1:5	But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and does not reproach; and it shall be given him.
James 1:6	But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he who doubts is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
James 1:7	For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
James 1:8	a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:9	But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:
James 1:10	and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
James 1:11	For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass; and its flower falls, and the grace of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
James 1:12	Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
James 1:13	Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one:
James 1:14	but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
James 1:15	Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, brings forth death.
James 1:16	Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
James 1:17	Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there can be no variation, nor shadow that is cast by turning.
James 1:18	Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:19	You know this, my beloved brothers. But let everyone be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
James 1:20	for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.
James 1:21	Therefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:22	But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
James 1:23	For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
James 1:24	for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
James 1:25	But he who looks into the perfect Torah, the Torah of liberty, and so continues, being not a hearer who forgets but a doer who works, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
James 1:26	If anyone thinks himself to be religious, while he does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
James 1:27	Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
James 2:1	My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
James 2:2	For if there comes into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there comes in also a poor man in shabby clothing;
James 2:3	and you have regard to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, Sit here in a good place; and you say to the poor man, Stand there, or sit under my footstool;
James 2:4	do you not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
James 2:5	Listen, my beloved brothers; did not God choose those who are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
James 2:6	But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?
James 2:7	Do they not blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
James 2:8	However if you fulfill the royal Torah, according to the scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well:
James 2:9	but if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, being convicted by the Torah as transgressors.
James 2:10	For whoever shall keep the whole Torah, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all.
James 2:11	For he who said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but kill, you have become a transgressor of the Torah.
James 2:12	So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by the Torah of liberty.
James 2:13	For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy: mercy glories against judgment.
James 2:14	What does it profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but does not have works? can that faith save him?
James 2:15	If a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
James 2:16	and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; and yet you do not give them the things needful to the body; what does it profit?
James 2:17	Even so faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.
James 2:18	Yes, a man will say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith.
James 2:19	You believe that God is one; you do well: the demons also believe, and shudder.
James 2:20	But do you want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
James 2:21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
James 2:22	You see that faith worked with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;
James 2:23	and the scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
James 2:24	You see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
James 2:25	And in like manner was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
James 2:26	For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
James 3:1	Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
James 3:2	For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
James 3:3	Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn around their whole body also.
James 3:4	Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are still turned around by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the steersman wills.
James 3:5	So the tongue also is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
James 3:6	And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
James 3:7	For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind:
James 3:8	but the tongue no one can tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.
James 3:9	With it we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God:
James 3:10	out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
James 3:11	Does the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?
James 3:12	can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? nor can salt water yield sweet.
James 3:13	Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.
James 3:14	But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not glory and do not lie against the truth.
James 3:15	This wisdom is not a wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
James 3:16	For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
James 3:17	But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.
James 3:18	And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.
James 4:1	Where do wars and where do fightings among you come from? do they not come from here, even from your pleasures that war in your members?
James 4:2	You lust, and do not have: you kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: you fight and war; you do not have, because you do not ask.
James 4:3	You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it in your pleasures.
James 4:4	You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore would be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
James 4:5	Or do you think that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the spirit which he made to dwell in us long to envying?
James 4:6	But he gives more grace. Therefore the scripture says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
James 4:7	Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:8	Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you doubleminded.
James 4:9	Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
James 4:10	Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.
James 4:11	Do not speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the Torah, and judges the Torah: but if you judge the Torah, you are not a doer of the Torah, but a judge.
James 4:12	One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who are you who judge your neighbor?
James 4:13	Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:
James 4:14	whereas you do not know what shall be tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
James 4:15	Instead you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.
James 4:16	But now you glory in your boastings: all such glorying is evil.
James 4:17	To him therefore who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him it is sin.
James 5:1	Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.
James 5:2	Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
James 5:3	Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
James 5:4	Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cries out: and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of Yehovah of hosts.
James 5:5	You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
James 5:6	You have condemned, you have killed the righteous one; he does not resist you.
James 5:7	Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain.
James 5:8	You also be patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
James 5:9	Do not murmur, brothers, against one another, that you may not be judged: behold, the judge stands before the doors.
James 5:10	Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
James 5:11	Behold, we call those blessed who endured: you have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.
James 5:12	But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; that you may not fall under judgment.
James 5:13	Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise.
James 5:14	Is any among you sick? let him call for the elders of the assembly; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
James 5:15	and the prayer of faith shall save him who is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
James 5:16	Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man avails much in its working.
James 5:17	Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
James 5:18	And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
James 5:19	My brothers, if anyone among you errs from the truth, and someone converts him;
James 5:20	let him know, that he who converts a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 1:1	Peter, an apostle of Yeshua Messiah, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Peter 1:2	according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua Messiah: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
1 Peter 1:3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, who according to his great mercy fathered us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Yeshua Messiah from the dead,
1 Peter 1:4	to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
1 Peter 1:5	who by the power of God are guarded through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:6	In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
1 Peter 1:7	that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Yeshua Messiah:
1 Peter 1:8	whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter 1:9	receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:10	Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:
1 Peter 1:11	searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Messiah which was in them was pointing to, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Messiah, and the glories that should follow them.
1 Peter 1:12	To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
1 Peter 1:13	Therefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Yeshua Messiah;
1 Peter 1:14	as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:
1 Peter 1:15	but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all manner of living;
1 Peter 1:16	because it is written, You shall be holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:17	And if you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:
1 Peter 1:18	knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;
1 Peter 1:19	but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, even the blood of Messiah:
1 Peter 1:20	who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,
1 Peter 1:21	who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
1 Peter 1:22	Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth to sincere love of the brothers, love one another from the heart fervently:
1 Peter 1:23	having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and abides.
1 Peter 1:24	For, All flesh is as grass, And all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls:
1 Peter 1:25	But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word of good news which was preached to you.
1 Peter 2:1	Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1 Peter 2:2	as newborn babies, long for the spiritual milk which is without deceit, that you may grow by it to salvation;
1 Peter 2:3	if you have tasted that Yehovah is gracious:
1 Peter 2:4	to whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God elect, precious,
1 Peter 2:5	you also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua Messiah.
1 Peter 2:6	Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: And the one believing in him shall not be put to shame.
1 Peter 2:7	For you therefore who are believing is the preciousness: but for those disbelieving, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;
1 Peter 2:8	and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.
1 Peter 2:9	But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
1 Peter 2:10	who in the past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1 Peter 2:11	Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1 Peter 2:12	keeping your behavior honorable among the Gentiles; that, in the thing in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1 Peter 2:13	Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
1 Peter 2:14	or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to those who do well.
1 Peter 2:15	For so is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1 Peter 2:16	as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
1 Peter 2:17	Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
1 Peter 2:18	Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the unreasonable.
1 Peter 2:19	For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endures griefs, suffering wrongfully.
1 Peter 2:20	For what glory is it, if, when you sin, and are buffeted for it, you shall take it patiently? but if, when you do well, and suffer for it, you shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
1 Peter 2:21	For to this you were called: because Messiah also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps:
1 Peter 2:22	who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth:
1 Peter 2:23	who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered, did not threaten; but committed himself to him who judges righteously:
1 Peter 2:24	who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
1 Peter 2:25	For you were going astray like sheep; but have now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1 Peter 3:1	In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any do not obey the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;
1 Peter 3:2	beholding your chaste behavior coupled with fear.
1 Peter 3:3	Let your adorning not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on clothing;
1 Peter 3:4	but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible clothing of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:5	For in this way formerly the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
1 Peter 3:6	as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
1 Peter 3:7	You husbands, in the same way, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; so that your prayers may not be hindered.
1 Peter 3:8	Finally, all of you be likeminded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
1 Peter 3:9	not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary blessing; for to this you were called, that you should inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:10	For, He who would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit:
1 Peter 3:11	And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:12	For the eyes of Yehovah are upon the righteous, And his ears to their supplication: But the face of Yehovah is upon those who do evil.
1 Peter 3:13	And who is he who will harm you, if you are zealous for that which is good?
1 Peter 3:14	But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed are you: and do not fear their fear, neither be troubled;
1 Peter 3:15	but sanctify in your hearts Messiah as Lord: being ready always to give an answer to every man who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:16	having a good conscience; that, in the thing in which you are spoken against, those who revile your good manner of life in Messiah may be put to shame.
1 Peter 3:17	For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
1 Peter 3:18	Because Messiah also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
1 Peter 3:19	in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,
1 Peter 3:20	who formerly were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
1 Peter 3:21	which also as a true likeness now saves you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua Messiah;
1 Peter 3:22	who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
1 Peter 4:1	Since then Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
1 Peter 4:2	that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1 Peter 4:3	For the time past may suffice to have done the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
1 Peter 4:4	in which they think it strange that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, speaking evil of you:
1 Peter 4:5	who shall give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:6	For to this end the gospel was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 Peter 4:7	But the end of all things is at hand: therefore be of sound mind, and be sober for prayer:
1 Peter 4:8	above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covers a multitude of sins:
1 Peter 4:9	using hospitality one to another without murmuring:
1 Peter 4:10	just as each has received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
1 Peter 4:11	if any man speaks, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministers, ministering as of the strength which God supplies: that in all things God may be glorified through Yeshua Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:12	Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which comes upon you to test you, as though a strange thing were happening to you:
1 Peter 4:13	but inasmuch as you are partakers of Messiah’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also you may rejoice with exceeding joy.
1 Peter 4:14	If you are reproached for the name of Messiah, blessed are you; because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God rests on you.
1 Peter 4:15	For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:
1 Peter 4:16	but if a man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
1 Peter 4:17	For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begins first with us, what shall be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:18	And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
1 Peter 4:19	Therefore let those also who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
1 Peter 5:1	The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
1 Peter 5:2	Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for shameful gain, but eagerly;
1 Peter 5:3	neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
1 Peter 5:4	And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, you shall receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
1 Peter 5:5	Likewise, you younger, be subject to the elder. Indeed, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
1 Peter 5:6	Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;
1 Peter 5:7	casting all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:8	Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 Peter 5:9	whom resist, steadfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brothers who are in the world.
1 Peter 5:10	And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Messiah, after you have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you.
1 Peter 5:11	To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:12	By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God: stand fast in it.
1 Peter 5:13	She who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son.
1 Peter 5:14	Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Messiah.
2 Peter 1:1	Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Yeshua Messiah, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Savior Yeshua Messiah:
2 Peter 1:2	Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Yeshua our Lord;
2 Peter 1:3	seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;
2 Peter 1:4	by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
2 Peter 1:5	Yes, and for this very reason adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge;
2 Peter 1:6	and in your knowledge self-control; and in your self-control patience; and in your patience godliness;
2 Peter 1:7	and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love.
2 Peter 1:8	For if these things are yours and abound, they make you neither idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
2 Peter 1:9	For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
2 Peter 1:10	Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never stumble:
2 Peter 1:11	for thus the entrance shall be richly supplied to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Messiah.
2 Peter 1:12	Therefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and are established in the truth which is with you.
2 Peter 1:13	And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
2 Peter 1:14	knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle comes swiftly, even as our Lord Yeshua Messiah signified to me.
2 Peter 1:15	Indeed, I will be diligent that at every time you may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance.
2 Peter 1:16	For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2 Peter 1:17	For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:
2 Peter 1:18	and this voice we ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2 Peter 1:19	And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; to which you do well that you take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day-star arises in your hearts:
2 Peter 1:20	knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21	For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
2 Peter 2:1	But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Peter 2:2	And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be spoken of as evil.
2 Peter 2:3	And in covetousness they shall with feigned words exploit you: whose sentence now from of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
2 Peter 2:4	For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;
2 Peter 2:5	and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2 Peter 2:6	and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example to those who should live ungodly;
2 Peter 2:7	and delivered righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked
2 Peter 2:8	(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds):
2 Peter 2:9	the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;
2 Peter 2:10	but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble to revile dignitaries:
2 Peter 2:11	whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.
2 Peter 2:12	But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, reviling in matters of which they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,
2 Peter 2:13	suffering wrong as the wages of wrong-doing; men who count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions while they feast with you;
2 Peter 2:14	having eyes full of adultery, and who cannot cease from sin; enticing unstable souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;
2 Peter 2:15	forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrong-doing;
2 Peter 2:16	but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the madness of the prophet.
2 Peter 2:17	These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.
2 Peter 2:18	For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from those who live in error;
2 Peter 2:19	promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same he is also brought into bondage.
2 Peter 2:20	For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Yeshua Messiah, they are again entangled in it and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
2 Peter 2:21	For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
2 Peter 2:22	It has happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 3:1	This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;
2 Peter 3:2	that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles:
2 Peter 3:3	knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,
2 Peter 3:4	and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2 Peter 3:5	For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;
2 Peter 3:6	by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2 Peter 3:7	but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:8	But do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:9	The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:10	But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up.
2 Peter 3:11	Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy living and godliness,
2 Peter 3:12	looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2 Peter 3:13	But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwells righteousness.
2 Peter 3:14	Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, give diligence that you may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.
2 Peter 3:15	And count the longsuffering of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you;
2 Peter 3:16	as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstable twist, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
2 Peter 3:17	You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness.
2 Peter 3:18	But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Messiah. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
1 John 1:1	That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life
1 John 1:2	(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us);
1 John 1:3	what we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us: and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Yeshua Messiah:
1 John 1:4	and these things we write, that our joy may be made full.
1 John 1:5	And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:6	If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not do the truth:
1 John 1:7	but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yeshua his Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:8	If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:9	If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:10	If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2:1	My little children, these things I write to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Yeshua Messiah the righteous:
1 John 2:2	and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
1 John 2:3	And by this we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John 2:4	He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
1 John 2:5	but whoever keeps his word, in him truly has the love of God been perfected. By this we know that we are in him:
1 John 2:6	he who says he abides in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.
1 John 2:7	Beloved, no new commandment I write to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which you heard.
1 John 2:8	Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
1 John 2:9	He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
1 John 2:10	He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
1 John 2:11	But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:12	I write to you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
1 John 2:13	I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, little children, because you know the Father.
1 John 2:14	I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
1 John 2:15	Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:16	For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:17	And the world passes away, and the lust of it: but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:18	Little children, it is the last hour: and as you heard that antichrist comes, even now many antichrists have arisen; by which we know that it is the last hour.
1 John 2:19	They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.
1 John 2:20	And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
1 John 2:21	I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
1 John 2:22	Who is the liar but he who denies that Yeshua is the Messiah? This is the antichrist, even he who denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:23	Whoever denies the Son, he does not have the Father: he who confesses the Son has the Father also.
1 John 2:24	As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.
1 John 2:25	And this is the promise which he promised us, even the life eternal.
1 John 2:26	These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
1 John 2:27	And as for you, the anointing which you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you; but as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you abide in him.
1 John 2:28	And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he is manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1 John 2:29	If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who does righteousness is begotten of him.
1 John 3:1	Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.
1 John 3:2	Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he is manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
1 John 3:3	And everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:4	Everyone who does sin also does lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
1 John 3:5	And you know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.
1 John 3:6	Whoever abides in him does not sin: whoever sins has not seen him, nor knows him.
1 John 3:7	My little children, let no man lead you astray: he who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:
1 John 3:8	he who does sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:9	Whoever is begotten of God does no sin, because his seed abides in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.
1 John 3:10	In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not do righteousness is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.
1 John 3:11	For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:
1 John 3:12	not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
1 John 3:13	Do not marvel, brothers, if the world hates you.
1 John 3:14	We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who does not love abides in death.
1 John 3:15	Whoever hates his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 3:16	By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
1 John 3:17	But whoever has the world’s goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
1 John 3:18	My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
1 John 3:19	By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:
1 John 3:20	because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
1 John 3:21	Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have boldness toward God;
1 John 3:22	and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 3:23	And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Yeshua Messiah, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
1 John 3:24	And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.
1 John 4:1	Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2	By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Yeshua Messiah has come in the flesh is of God:
1 John 4:3	and every spirit that does not confess Yeshua is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it comes; and now it is in the world already.
1 John 4:4	You are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
1 John 4:5	They are of the world: therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
1 John 4:6	We are of God: he who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
1 John 4:7	Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone who loves is begotten of God, and knows God.
1 John 4:8	He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
1 John 4:9	In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.
1 John 4:10	In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:11	Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:12	No man has beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us:
1 John 4:13	by this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
1 John 4:14	And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:15	Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:16	And we know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love; and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:17	In this love is made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world.
1 John 4:18	There is no fear in love: but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and he who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:19	We love, because he first loved us.
1 John 4:20	If a man says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:21	And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
1 John 5:1	Everyone believing that Yeshua is the Messiah is begotten of God: and everyone who loves him who fathered loves him also who is begotten of him.
1 John 5:2	By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments.
1 John 5:3	For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:4	For whatever is begotten of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:5	And who is he who overcomes the world, but the one believing that Yeshua is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6	This is he who came by water and blood, even Yeshua Messiah; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.
1 John 5:7	And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 John 5:8	For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one.
1 John 5:9	If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he has borne witness concerning his Son.
1 John 5:10	The one believing in the Son of God has the witness in him: the one not believing God has made him a liar; because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning his Son.
1 John 5:11	And the witness is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John 5:12	He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
1 John 5:13	These things I have written to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, even to you believing in the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:14	And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us:
1 John 5:15	and if we know that he hears us whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
1 John 5:16	If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request.
1 John 5:17	All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not to death.
1 John 5:18	We know that whoever is begotten of God does not sin; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
1 John 5:19	We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.
1 John 5:20	And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, even in his Son Yeshua Messiah. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1 John 5:21	My little children, guard yourselves from idols.
2 John 1:1	The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all those who know the truth;
2 John 1:2	for the truth’s sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever:
2 John 1:3	Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Yeshua Messiah, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John 1:4	I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father.
2 John 1:5	And now I ask you, lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2 John 1:6	And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
2 John 1:7	For many deceivers have gone forth into the world, even those who do not confess that Yeshua Messiah comes in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 1:8	Look to yourselves, that you do not lose the things which we have worked for, but that you receive a full reward.
2 John 1:9	Whoever goes onward and does not abide in the teaching of Messiah, does not have God: he who abides in the teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:10	If any one comes to you, and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and give him no greeting:
2 John 1:11	for he who gives him greeting partakes in his evil works.
2 John 1:12	Having many things to write to you, I would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full.
2 John 1:13	The children of your elect sister greet you.
3 John 1:1	The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
3 John 1:2	Beloved, I pray that in all things you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
3 John 1:3	For I rejoiced greatly, when brothers came and bore witness to your truth, even as you walk in truth.
3 John 1:4	I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
3 John 1:5	Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you do toward those who are brothers and strangers as well;
3 John 1:6	who bore witness to your love before the assembly: whom you will do well to send forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God:
3 John 1:7	because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
3 John 1:8	We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth.
3 John 1:9	I wrote something to the assembly: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.
3 John 1:10	Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, prating against us with wicked words: and not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and casts them out of the assembly.
3 John 1:11	Beloved, do not imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God: he who does evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:12	Demetrius has the witness of all men, and of the truth itself: indeed, we also bear witness; and you know that our witness is true.
3 John 1:13	I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write them to you with ink and pen:
3 John 1:14	but I hope shortly to see you, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Jude 1:1	Jude, a servant of Yeshua Messiah, and brother of James, to those who are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Yeshua Messiah:
Jude 1:2	Mercy to you and peace and love be multiplied.
Jude 1:3	Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.
Jude 1:4	For certain men have crept in unnoticed, even those who were long ago written of beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Yeshua Messiah.
Jude 1:5	Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
Jude 1:6	And angels who did not keep their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
Jude 1:7	Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8	Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and revile dignities.
Jude 1:9	But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against him a reviling judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke you.
Jude 1:10	But these revile whatever things they do not know: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things they are destroyed.
Jude 1:11	Woe to them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Jude 1:12	These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jude 1:13	wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
Jude 1:14	And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,
Jude 1:15	to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Jude 1:16	These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks great swelling words), showing partiality for the sake of advantage.
Jude 1:17	But you, beloved, remember the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Yeshua Messiah;
Jude 1:18	that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.
Jude 1:19	These are they who make separations, sensual, not having the Spirit.
Jude 1:20	But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Jude 1:21	keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Yeshua Messiah to eternal life.
Jude 1:22	And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;
Jude 1:23	and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude 1:24	Now to him who is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,
Jude 1:25	to the only God our Savior, through Yeshua Messiah our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and forevermore. Amen.
Revelation 1:1	The Revelation of Yeshua Messiah, which God gave him to show to his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John;
Revelation 1:2	who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Yeshua Messiah, even of all things that he saw.
Revelation 1:3	Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:4	John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;
Revelation 1:5	and from Yeshua Messiah, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;
Revelation 1:6	and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:7	Behold, he comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 1:8	I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:9	I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Yeshua, was on the island that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Yeshua.
Revelation 1:10	I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet
Revelation 1:11	saying, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Revelation 1:12	And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;
Revelation 1:13	and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girded about at the breasts with a golden sash.
Revelation 1:14	And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation 1:15	and his feet like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.
Revelation 1:16	And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was as the sun shines in its strength.
Revelation 1:17	And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear; I am the first and the last,
Revelation 1:18	and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
Revelation 1:19	Write therefore the things which you saw, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
Revelation 1:20	the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies: and the seven lampstands are seven assemblies.
Revelation 2:1	To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:
Revelation 2:2	I know your works, and your toil and patience, and that you cannot bear evil men, and tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false;
Revelation 2:3	and you have patience and bore up for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.
Revelation 2:4	But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Revelation 2:5	Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you, and will move your lampstand out of its place, unless you repent.
Revelation 2:6	But this you have, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:7	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Revelation 2:8	And to the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: These things says the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:
Revelation 2:9	I know your tribulation, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:10	Do not fear the things which you are about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Revelation 2:11	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
Revelation 2:12	And to the angel of the assembly in Pergamum write: These things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword:
Revelation 2:13	I know where you dwell, even where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast my name, and did not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
Revelation 2:14	But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication.
Revelation 2:15	So you also have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner.
Revelation 2:16	Repent therefore; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation 2:17	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he who receives it.
Revelation 2:18	And to the angel of the assembly in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished bronze:
Revelation 2:19	I know your works, and your love and faith and ministry and patience, and that your last works are more than the first.
Revelation 2:20	But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess; and she teaches and seduces my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 2:21	And I gave her time that she should repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication.
Revelation 2:22	Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works.
Revelation 2:23	And I will kill her children with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts: and I will give to each one of you according to your works.
Revelation 2:24	But to you I say, to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who do not know the deep things of Satan, as they are accustomed to say; I cast upon you no other burden.
Revelation 2:25	Nevertheless that which you have, hold fast till I come.
Revelation 2:26	And he who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations:
Revelation 2:27	and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces; as I also have received from my Father:
Revelation 2:28	and I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 2:29	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Revelation 3:1	And to the angel of the assembly in Sardis write: These things says he who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and you are dead.
Revelation 3:2	Be watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God.
Revelation 3:3	Remember therefore how you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
Revelation 3:4	But you have a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5	He who overcomes shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will by no means blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:6	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Revelation 3:7	And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and none shall shut, and who shuts and none opens:
Revelation 3:8	I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which none can shut), that you have a little power, and have kept my word, and have not denied my name.
Revelation 3:9	Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but lie; behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and know that I have loved you.
Revelation 3:10	Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 3:11	I am coming quickly: hold fast that which you have, that no one may take your crown.
Revelation 3:12	He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out from there no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
Revelation 3:13	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Revelation 3:14	And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:
Revelation 3:15	I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I wish you were cold or hot.
Revelation 3:16	So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew you out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:17	Because you say, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
Revelation 3:18	I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich; and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see.
Revelation 3:19	As many as I love, I reprove and discipline: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 3:20	Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:21	He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.
Revelation 3:22	He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.
Revelation 4:1	After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard, a voice as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up here, and I will show you the things which must come to pass hereafter.
Revelation 4:2	Immediately I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;
Revelation 4:3	and he who 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 upon.
Revelation 4:4	And round about the throne were twenty-four thrones: and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.
Revelation 4:5	And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;
Revelation 4:6	and before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind.
Revelation 4:7	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 was like a flying eagle.
Revelation 4:8	And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes 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 to come.
Revelation 4:9	And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,
Revelation 4:10	the twenty-four elders shall fall down before him who sits on the throne, and shall worship him who lives forever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Revelation 4:11	Worthy are you, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for you created all things, and because of your will they were, and were created.
Revelation 5:1	And I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, sealed shut with seven seals.
Revelation 5:2	And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
Revelation 5:3	And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it.
Revelation 5:4	And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it:
Revelation 5:5	and one of the elders says to me, Do not weep; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the book and its seven seals.
Revelation 5:6	And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
Revelation 5:7	And he came, and he takes it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
Revelation 5:8	And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 5:9	And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were slain, and purchased for God with your blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
Revelation 5:10	and made them to be to our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth.
Revelation 5:11	And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Revelation 5:12	saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation 5:13	And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever.
Revelation 5:14	And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and bowed down.
Revelation 6:1	And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come.
Revelation 6:2	And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
Revelation 6:3	And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come.
Revelation 6:4	And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him who sat on it it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given to him a great sword.
Revelation 6:5	And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand.
Revelation 6:6	And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and do not hurt the oil and the wine.
Revelation 6:7	And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come.
Revelation 6:8	And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he who sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:9	And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation 6:10	and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?
Revelation 6:11	And there was given to each one of them a white robe; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brothers, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course.
Revelation 6:12	And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;
Revelation 6:13	and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts her unripe figs when she is shaken by a great wind.
Revelation 6:14	And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation 6:15	And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the commanders, and the rich, and the strong, and every slave and free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation 6:16	and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelation 6:17	for the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?
Revelation 7:1	After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree.
Revelation 7:2	And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrise, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Revelation 7:3	saying, Do not hurt the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
Revelation 7:4	And I heard the number of those who were sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
Revelation 7:5	Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand;
Revelation 7:6	Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand;
Revelation 7:7	Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand;
Revelation 7:8	Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation 7:9	After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 7:10	and they cry with a great voice, saying, Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.
Revelation 7:11	And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation 7:12	saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:13	And one of the elders answered, saying to me, These who are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?
Revelation 7:14	And I say to him, My lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15	Therefore they are before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he who sits on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them.
Revelation 7:16	They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; nor shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:
Revelation 7:17	for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Revelation 8:1	And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation 8:2	And I saw the seven angels who stand before God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.
Revelation 8:3	And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:4	And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
Revelation 8:5	And the angel takes the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:6	And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation 8:7	And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burned up, and the third part of the trees was burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Revelation 8:8	And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Revelation 8:9	and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, even those that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.
Revelation 8:10	And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters;
Revelation 8:11	and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 8:12	And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was struck, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.
Revelation 8:13	And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for those who dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound.
Revelation 9:1	And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.
Revelation 9:2	And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Revelation 9:3	And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Revelation 9:4	And it was said to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only such men as do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Revelation 9:5	And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man.
Revelation 9:6	And in those days men shall seek death, and shall by no means find it; and they shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
Revelation 9:7	And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as men’s faces.
Revelation 9:8	And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Revelation 9:9	And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.
Revelation 9:10	And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.
Revelation 9:11	They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he has the name Apollyon.
Revelation 9:12	The first Woe is past: behold, two Woes are yet coming hereafter.
Revelation 9:13	And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation 9:14	one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
Revelation 9:15	And the four angels were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.
Revelation 9:16	And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17	And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeds fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation 9:18	By these three plagues the third part of men was killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19	For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt.
Revelation 9:20	And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not bow down to demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation 9:21	and they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 10:1	And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;
Revelation 10:2	and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;
Revelation 10:3	and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roars: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
Revelation 10:4	And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.
Revelation 10:5	And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,
Revelation 10:6	and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are in it, and the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there shall be delay no longer:
Revelation 10:7	but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, according to the good news which he declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:8	And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands upon the sea and upon the earth.
Revelation 10:9	And I went to the angel, saying to him that he should give me the little book. And he says to me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it shall be sweet as honey.
Revelation 10:10	And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter.
Revelation 10:11	And they say to me, You must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
Revelation 11:1	And there was given me a reed like a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it.
Revelation 11:2	And the court which is outside the temple leave out, and do not measure it; for it has been given to the nations: and they shall tread the holy city under foot forty-two months.
Revelation 11:3	And I will give to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation 11:4	These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands, standing before the Lord of the earth.
Revelation 11:5	And if any man desires to hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies; and if any man desires to hurt them, in this manner he must be killed.
Revelation 11:6	These have the power to shut the heaven, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
Revelation 11:7	And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.
Revelation 11:8	And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:9	And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and do not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.
Revelation 11:10	And those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts to one another; because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Revelation 11:11	And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who beheld them.
Revelation 11:12	And they heard a great voice from heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Revelation 11:13	And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were terrified, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:14	The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe comes quickly.
Revelation 11:15	And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Messiah: and he shall reign forever and ever.
Revelation 11:16	And the twenty-four elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,
Revelation 11:17	saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were; because you have taken your great power, and reigned.
Revelation 11:18	And the nations were angry, and your wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and the time to give their reward to your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth.
Revelation 11:19	And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 12:1	And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
Revelation 12:2	and she was with child; and she cries out, in labor, and in pain to be delivered.
Revelation 12:3	And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
Revelation 12:4	And his tail draws the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stands before the woman who is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.
Revelation 12:5	And she was delivered of a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
Revelation 12:6	And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Revelation 12:7	And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
Revelation 12:8	and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation 12:9	And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
Revelation 12:10	And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah have come: for the accuser of our brothers is cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
Revelation 12:11	And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they did not love their life even to death.
Revelation 12:12	Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time.
Revelation 12:13	And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the male child.
Revelation 12:14	And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:15	And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
Revelation 12:16	And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17	And the dragon became angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Yeshua:
Revelation 13:1	and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2	And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
Revelation 13:3	And I saw one of his heads as though it had been struck to death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth marveled after the beast;
Revelation 13:4	and they bowed down to the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast; and they bowed down to the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? and who is able to war with him?
Revelation 13:5	and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty-two months.
Revelation 13:6	And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even those who dwell in the heaven.
Revelation 13:7	And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
Revelation 13:8	And all who dwell on the earth shall bow down to him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.
Revelation 13:9	If any man has an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:10	If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goes: if any man kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Revelation 13:11	And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
Revelation 13:12	And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it bow down to the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed.
Revelation 13:13	And he does great signs, that he should even make fire come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men.
Revelation 13:14	And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who has the stroke of the sword and lived.
Revelation 13:15	And it was given to him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not bow down to the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:16	And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;
Revelation 13:17	and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, except he who has the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18	Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty-six.
Revelation 14:1	And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
Revelation 14:2	And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Revelation 14:3	and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those who had been purchased out of the earth.
Revelation 14:4	These are those who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:5	And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.
Revelation 14:6	And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good news to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
Revelation 14:7	and he says with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters.
Revelation 14:8	And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 14:9	And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man bows down to the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,
Revelation 14:10	he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 14:11	and the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who bow down to the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
Revelation 14:12	Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Yeshua.
Revelation 14:13	And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on: yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.
Revelation 14:14	And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud I saw one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15	And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him who sat on the cloud, Send forth your sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Revelation 14:16	And he who sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14:17	And another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:18	And another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Revelation 14:19	And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress, of the wrath of God.
Revelation 14:20	And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred furlongs.
Revelation 15:1	And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues, which are the last, for in them the wrath of God is finished.
Revelation 15:2	And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and those who come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God.
Revelation 15:3	And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are your ways, you King of the ages.
Revelation 15:4	Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? for you only are holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before you; for your righteous acts have been made manifest.
Revelation 15:5	And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Revelation 15:6	and there came out from the temple the seven angels who had the seven plagues, arrayed with precious stone, pure and bright, and girded about their breasts with golden sashes.
Revelation 15:7	And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
Revelation 15:8	And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be finished.
Revelation 16:1	And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.
Revelation 16:2	And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a foul and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and who bowed down to his image.
Revelation 16:3	And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, even the things that were in the sea.
Revelation 16:4	And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood.
Revelation 16:5	And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous are you, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged thus:
Revelation 16:6	for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink: they are worthy.
Revelation 16:7	And I heard the altar saying, Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.
Revelation 16:8	And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.
Revelation 16:9	And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues; and they did not repent to give him glory.
Revelation 16:10	And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Revelation 16:11	and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their works.
Revelation 16:12	And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings who come from the sunrise.
Revelation 16:13	And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:
Revelation 16:14	for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
Revelation 16:15	(Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)
Revelation 16:16	And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.
Revelation 16:17	And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done:
Revelation 16:18	and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as had not been since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.
Revelation 16:19	And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Revelation 16:20	And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:21	And great hail, every stone about the weight of a talent, comes down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for its plague is exceedingly great.
Revelation 17:1	And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits upon many waters;
Revelation 17:2	with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation 17:3	And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:4	And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,
Revelation 17:5	and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:6	And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yeshua. And when I saw her, I marveled with a great wonder.
Revelation 17:7	And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Revelation 17:8	The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall marvel, those whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how he was, and is not, and shall come.
Revelation 17:9	Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits:
Revelation 17:10	and they are seven kings; the five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a little while.
Revelation 17:11	And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes into perdition.
Revelation 17:12	And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
Revelation 17:13	These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 17:14	These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and those who are with him, called and chosen and faithful, also shall overcome.
Revelation 17:15	And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation 17:16	And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these shall hate the prostitute, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire.
Revelation 17:17	For God put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
Revelation 17:18	And the woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.
Revelation 18:1	After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
Revelation 18:2	And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:3	For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations have fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich by the power of her wantonness.
Revelation 18:4	And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that you may have no fellowship with her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues:
Revelation 18:5	for her sins have reached even to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Revelation 18:6	Render to her even as she rendered, and double to her the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle to her double.
Revelation 18:7	However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall by no means see mourning.
Revelation 18:8	Therefore in one day her plagues shall come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.
Revelation 18:9	And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,
Revelation 18:10	standing far off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour your judgment has come.
Revelation 18:11	And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buys their merchandise any more;
Revelation 18:12	merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all citron wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of bronze, and iron, and marble;
Revelation 18:13	and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men.
Revelation 18:14	And the fruits which your soul lusted after have gone from you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and men shall find them no more at all.
Revelation 18:15	The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand far off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;
Revelation 18:16	saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she who was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearl!
Revelation 18:17	for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far off,
Revelation 18:18	and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?
Revelation 18:19	And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour she is made desolate.
Revelation 18:20	Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you saints, and you apostles, and you prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her.
Revelation 18:21	And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all.
Revelation 18:22	And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in you; and no craftsman, of whatever craft, shall be found any more at all in you; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in you;
Revelation 18:23	and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in you; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in you: for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
Revelation 18:24	And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain upon the earth.
Revelation 19:1	After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, Hallelujah; Salvation, and glory, and power, belong to our God:
Revelation 19:2	for true and righteous are his judgments; for he has judged the great prostitute, who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation 19:3	And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up forever and ever.
Revelation 19:4	And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sits on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah.
Revelation 19:5	And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, the small and the great.
Revelation 19:6	And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying, Hallelujah: for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
Revelation 19:7	Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.
Revelation 19:8	And it was given to her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Revelation 19:9	And he says to me, Write, Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are true words of God.
Revelation 19:10	And I fell down before his feet to pay homage to him. And he says to me, See that you do not do it: I am a fellow-servant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Yeshua: worship God: for the testimony of Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:11	And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Revelation 19:12	And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he has a name written which no one knows but he himself.
Revelation 19:13	And he is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:14	And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
Revelation 19:15	And out of his mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it he should strike the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.
Revelation 19:16	And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:17	And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together to the great supper of God;
Revelation 19:18	that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great.
Revelation 19:19	And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat upon the horse, and against his army.
Revelation 19:20	And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who bowed down to his image: these two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone:
Revelation 19:21	and the rest were killed with the sword of him who sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 20:1	And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation 20:2	And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
Revelation 20:3	and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
Revelation 20:4	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua, and for the word of God, and such as did not bow down to the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5	The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6	Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:7	And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Revelation 20:8	and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:9	And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.
Revelation 20:10	And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Revelation 20:11	And I saw a great white throne, and him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12	And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13	And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged, every man according to their works.
Revelation 20:14	And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15	And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1	And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away; and the sea is no more.
Revelation 21:2	And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:3	And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God:
Revelation 21:4	and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; nor shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things have passed away.
Revelation 21:5	And he who sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says, Write: for these words are faithful and true.
Revelation 21:6	And he said to me, They have come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him who is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7	He who overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:8	But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
Revelation 21:9	And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, which were full of the seven last plagues; and he spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:10	And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:11	having the glory of God: her light was like a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:
Revelation 21:12	having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation 21:13	on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Revelation 21:14	And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:15	And he who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
Revelation 21:16	And the city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: its length and breadth and height are equal.
Revelation 21:17	And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Revelation 21:18	And the building of its wall was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like pure glass.
Revelation 21:19	The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Revelation 21:20	the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Revelation 21:21	And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Revelation 21:22	And I saw no temple in it: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.
Revelation 21:23	And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Revelation 21:24	And the nations shall walk amid its light: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
Revelation 21:25	And its gates shall by no means be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
Revelation 21:26	and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
Revelation 21:27	and there shall by no means enter into it anything unclean, or he who makes an abomination and a lie: but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Revelation 22:1	And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
Revelation 22:2	in the midst of its street. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3	And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it: and his servants shall serve him;
Revelation 22:4	and they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads.
Revelation 22:5	And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, nor light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.
