And all the men of his house, as well they that were born in his house, as the bought servants and strangers, were circumcised with him. Gen. 17:27
For I know that he will command his children, and his household after him, to keep the way of the Lord, and do judgment and justice: that for Abraham's sake, the Lord may bring to effect all the things he hath spoken unto him. Gen. 18:19
I will go down and see whether they have done according to the cry that is come to me; or whether it be not so, that I may know. Gen. 18:21
If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein? Gen. 18:24

I have two daughters who, as yet, have not known man; I will bring them out to you, and abuse you them as it shall please you, so that you do no evil to these men, because they are come in under the shadow of my roof. Gen. 19:8

And they said to Lot: Hast thou here any of thine? son in law, or sons, or daughters, all that are thine bring them out of this city: Gen. 19:12
So Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law that were to have his daughters, and said: Arise: get you out of this place, because the Lord will destroy this city. And he seemed to them to speak as it were in jest. Gen. 19:14
Make haste, and be saved there: because I cannot do any thing till thou go in thither. Therefore the name of that city was called Segor. Gen. 19:22
And he destroyed these cities, and all the country about, all the inhabitants of the cities, and all things that spring from the earth. Gen. 19:25
He looked towards Sodom and Gomorrha, and the whole land of that country: and he saw the ashes rise up from the earth as the smoke of a furnace. Gen. 19:28
Now when God destroyed the cities of that country, remembering Abraham, he delivered Lot out of the destruction of the cities wherein he had dwelt. Gen. 19:29
Come, let us make him drunk with wine, and let us lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. Gen. 19:32
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the elder went in, and lay with her father: but he perceived not, neither when his daughter lay down, nor when she rose up. Gen. 19:33
And the next day the elder said to the younger: Behold I lay last night with my father, let us make him drink wine also to night, and thou shalt lie with him, that we may save seed of our father. Gen. 19:34
They made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in, and lay with him: and neither then did he perceive when she lay down, nor when she rose up. Gen. 19:35
The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ammon; that is, the son of my people: he is the father of the Ammonites unto this day. Gen. 19:38
And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman that thou hast taken: for she hath a husband. Gen. 20:3
Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just? Gen. 20:4
And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to touch her. Gen. 20:6
Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine. Gen. 20:7
And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do. Gen. 20:9
And again he expostulated with him, and said: What sawest thou, that thou hast done this? Gen. 20:10
And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother. Gen. 20:13
And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken. Gen. 20:16
And she conceived and bore a son in her old age, at the time that God had foretold her. Gen. 21:2
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? Gen. 21:7
And God said to him: Let it not seem grievous to thee for the boy, and for thy bondwoman: in all that Sara hath said to thee, hearken to her voice: for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Gen. 21:12
And when the water in the bottle was spent, she cast the boy under one of the trees that were there. Gen. 21:15
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. Gen. 21:22
Swear therefore by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my posterity, nor my stock: but according to the kindness that I have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and to the land wherein thou hast lived a stranger. Gen. 21:23
But he said: Thou shalt take seven ewelambs at my hand: that they may be a testimony for me, that I dug this well. Gen. 21:30
Therefore that place was called Bersabee; because there both of them did swear. Gen. 21:31
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake. Gen. 22:12
And he called the name of that place, The Lord seeth. Whereupon, even to this day, it is said: In the mountain the Lord will see. Gen. 22:14
I will bless thee, and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is by the sea shore; thy seed shall possess the gates of their enemies. Gen. 22:17
After these things, it was told Abraham, that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother. Gen. 22:20
I am a stranger and sojourner among you: give me the right of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead. Gen. 23:4
And said to them: If it please your soul that I should bury my dead, hear me, and intercede for me to Ephron the son of Seor. Gen. 23:8
That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: For as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place. Gen. 23:9
Now Ephron dwelt in the midst of the children of Heth. And Ephron made answer to Abraham in the hearing of all that went in at the gate of the city, saying: Gen. 23:10
Let it not be so, my lord, but do thou rather hearken to what I say: The field I deliver to thee, and the cave that is therein; in the presence of the children of my people, bury thy dead. Gen. 23:11
And when Abraham had heard this, he weighed out the money that Ephron had asked, in the hearing of the children of Heth, four hundred sicles of silver, of common current money. Gen. 23:16
And the field that before was Ephron's, wherein was the double cave, looking towards Mambre, both it and the cave, and all the trees thereof, in all its limits round about, Gen. 23:17
Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city. Gen. 23:18
And so Abraham buried Sara, his wife, in the double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 23:19
And the field was made sure to Abraham, and the cave that was in it, for a possession to bury in, by the children of Heth. Gen. 23:20
That I may make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and earth, that thou take not a wife for my son, of the daughters of the Chanaanites, among whom I dwell: Gen. 24:3
But that thou go to my own country and kindred, and take a wife from thence for my son Isaac. Gen. 24:4
Now, therefore, the maid to whom I shall say: Let down thy pitcher that I may drink: and she shall answer, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let it be the same whom thou hast provided for thy servant Isaac: and by this, I shall understand that thou hast shewn kindness to my master. Gen. 24:14
And after that the camels had drunk, the man took out golden earrings, weighing two sicles; and as many bracelets, of ten sicles weight. Gen. 24:22
Then the maid ran, and told in her mother's house all that she had heard. Gen. 24:28
And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying, Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water, Gen. 24:30
And he brought him into his lodging; and he unharnessed the camels, and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him. Gen. 24:32
And Sara, my master's wife, hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had. Gen. 24:36
Behold, I stand by the well of water, and the virgin, that shall come out to draw water, who shall hear me say: Give me a little water to drink of thy pitcher: Gen. 24:43
Wherefore, if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left. Gen. 24:49
And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master. Gen. 24:54
Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master. Gen. 24:56
And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself. Gen. 24:65
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done. Gen. 24:66
Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death. Gen. 24:67
And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. Gen. 25:18
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. Gen. 25:25
¤ And when a famine came in the land, after that barrenness which had happened in the days of Abraham, Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Palestines, to Gerara. Gen. 26:1
And the Lord appeared to him, and said: Go not down into Egypt, but stay in the land that I shall tell thee. Gen. 26:2
And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister: for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty. Gen. 26:7
He that shall touch this man's wife, shall surely be put to death. Gen. 26:11
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. Gen. 26:12
Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, filling them up with earth: Gen. 26:15
Insomuch that Abimelech himself said to Isaac: Depart from us, for thou art become much mightier than we. Gen. 26:16
But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny. Gen. 26:20
And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity. Gen. 26:21
And he went up from that place to Bersabee, Gen. 26:23
Where the Lord appeared to him that same night, saying: I am the God of Abraham thy father, do not fear, for I am with thee: I will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. Gen. 26:24
And they answered: We saw that the Lord is with thee, and therefore we said: Let there be an oath between us, and let us make a covenant, Gen. 26:28
That thou do us no harm, as we on our part have touched nothing of thine, nor have done any thing to hurt thee; but with peace have sent thee away, increased with the blessing of the Lord. Gen. 26:29
And his father said to him, Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death. Gen. 27:2
Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee, before I die. Gen. 27:4
Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die. Gen. 27:7
And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth. Gen. 27:9
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth: Gen. 27:11
And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked. Gen. 27:17
And Jacob said: I am Esau, thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. Gen. 27:19
And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way: Gen. 27:20
And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not. Gen. 27:21
Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk, Gen. 27:25
And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings. Gen. 27:29
And brought in to his father meats, made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me. Gen. 27:31
Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly; and wondering beyond what can be believed, said: Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed. Gen. 27:33
And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people. Gen. 28:3
And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather. Gen. 28:4
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: Gen. 28:6
And that Jacob obeying his parents, was gone into Syria: Gen. 28:7
Experiencing also, that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan: Gen. 28:8
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. Gen. 28:11
And I will be thy keeper whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee back into this land: neither will I leave thee, till I shall have accomplished all that I have said. Gen. 28:15
And this stone, which I have set up for a title, shall be called the house of God: and of all things that thou shalt give to me, I will offer tithes to thee. Gen. 28:22
They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well's mouth, that we may water the flocks. Gen. 29:8
And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed. Gen. 29:10
And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father. Gen. 29:12
Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him: and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey, Gen. 29:13
Laban answered: It is better that I give her to thee than to another man; stay with me. Gen. 29:19
And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. Gen. 29:21
And he said to his father-in-law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me? Gen. 29:25
Make up the week of days of this match: and I will give thee her also, for the service that thou shalt render me other seven years. Gen. 29:27
And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren. Gen. 29:31
And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon. Gen. 29:33
But she said: I have here my servant Bala: go in unto her, that she may bear upon my knees, and I may have children by her. Gen. 30:3
Lia perceiving that she had left off bearing, gave Zelpha, her handmaid, to her husband. Gen. 30:9
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son's mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:15
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night. Gen. 30:16
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: Send me away, that I may return into my country, and to my land. Gen. 30:25
Give me my wives, and my children, for whom I have served thee, that I may depart: thou knowest the service that I have rendered thee. Gen. 30:26
Laban said to him: Let me find favour in thy sight: I have learned, by experience, that God hath blessed me for thy sake. Gen. 30:27
Thou hadst but little before I came to thee, and now thou art become rich: and the Lord hath blessed thee at my coming. It is reasonable, therefore, that I should now provide also for my own house. Gen. 30:30
Go round through all thy flocks, and separate all the sheep of divers colours, and speckled; and all that is brown and spotted, and of divers colours, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall be my wages. Gen. 30:32
And my justice shall answer for me tomorrow before thee, when the time of the bargain shall come; and all that is not of divers colours, and spotted, and brown, as well among the sheep as among the goats, shall accuse me of theft. Gen. 30:33
And he separated the same day the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted; and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons. Gen. 30:35
And Jacob took green rods of poplar, and of almond, and of plane-trees, and pilled them in part: so when the bark was taken off, in the parts that were pilled, there appeared whiteness: but the parts that were whole, remained green: and by this means the colour was divers. Gen. 30:37
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out; that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive. Gen. 30:38
And it came to pass, that in the very heat of coition, the sheep beheld the rods, and brought forth spotted, and of divers colours, and speckled. Gen. 30:39
So when the ewes went first to ram, Jacob put the rods in the troughs of water before the eyes of the rams, and of the ewes, that they might conceive while they were looking upon them. Gen. 30:41
But when the later coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban's; and they of the first time, Jacob's. Gen. 30:42
¤ But after that he had heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and being enriched by his substance is become great. Gen. 31:1
And perceiving also, that Laban's countenance was not towards him as yesterday and the other day. Gen. 31:2
And you know that I have served your father to the uttermost of my power. Gen. 31:6
For after the time came of the ewes conceiving, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in my sleep, that the males which leaped upon the females were of divers colours, and spotted, and speckled. Gen. 31:10
And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee. Gen. 31:12
But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore, do all that God hath commanded thee. Gen. 31:16
At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols. Gen. 31:19
And Jacob would not confess to his father-in-law that he was flying away. Gen. 31:20
And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad, Gen. 31:21
It was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob fled. Gen. 31:22
Why wouldst thou run away privately, and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps? Gen. 31:27
Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force. Gen. 31:31
But, whereas, thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols. Gen. 31:32
She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women. So his careful search was in vain. Gen. 31:35
Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn; I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me: Gen. 31:39
Laban answered him: The daughters are mine, and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren? Gen. 31:43
Come, therefore, let us enter into a league; that it may be for a testimony between me and thee. Gen. 31:44
And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap. Gen. 31:48
And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps. Gen. 32:2
I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight. Gen. 32:5
Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies, Gen. 32:7
Saying: If Esau come to one company, and destroy it, the other company that is left, shall escape. Gen. 32:8
Thou didst say, that thou wouldst do well by me, and multiply my seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. Gen. 32:12
And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau, Gen. 32:13
In like manner he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him. Gen. 32:19
And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us; for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me. Gen. 32:20
So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp. Gen. 32:21
And when all things were brought over that belonged to him, Gen. 32:23
And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. Gen. 32:25
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. Gen. 32:32
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. Gen. 33:8
And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die. Gen. 33:13
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people, at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight. Gen. 33:15
So Esau returned that day, the way that he came, to Seir. Gen. 33:16
And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents. Gen. 33:17
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem, for a hundred lambs. Gen. 33:19
¤ And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country. Gen. 34:1
And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin. Gen. 34:2
We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; which with us is unlawful and abominable. Gen. 34:14
And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours; only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people. Gen. 34:23
And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed, and change your garments. Gen. 35:2
Arise, and let us go up to Bethel, that we may make there an altar to God; who heard me in the day of my affliction, and accompanied me in my journey. Gen. 35:3
So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem. Gen. 35:4
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him. Gen. 35:6
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother. Gen. 35:7
At the same time Debora, the nurse of Rebecca, died, and was buried at the foot of Bethel, under an oak, and the name of that place was called, The oak of weeping. Gen. 35:8
And calling the name of that place Bethel. Gen. 35:15
And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand. Gen. 35:18
So Rachel died, and was buried in the highway that leadeth to Ephrata, that is Bethlehem. Gen. 35:19
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. Gen. 35:22
The sons of Zelpha, Lia's handmaid: Gad and Aser: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria. Gen. 35:26
Oolibama bore Jehus, and Ihelon, and Core. These are the sons of Esau, that were born to him in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 36:5
And Esau took his wives, and his sons and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and all that he was able to acquire in the land of Chanaan: and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob. Gen. 36:6
And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father: Gen. 36:24
Duke Dison, duke Eser, duke Disan: these were dukes of the Horrites that ruled in the land of Seir. Gen. 36:30
And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these: Gen. 36:31
And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. Gen. 37:4
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more. Gen. 37:5
And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? Gen. 37:10
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. Gen. 37:22
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours: Gen. 37:23
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. Gen. 37:27
¤ At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras. Gen. 38:1
Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. Gen. 38:8
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name. Gen. 38:9
And it was told Thamar that her father-in-law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep. Gen. 38:13
And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him. Gen. 38:14
And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her, Gen. 38:20
Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? And when they all made answer: There was no harlot in this place, Gen. 38:21
He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover, the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there. Gen. 38:22
And behold, after three months, they told Juda, saying: Thamar, thy daughter-in-law, hath played the harlot, and she appeareth to have a big belly. And Juda said: Bring her out that she may be burnt. Gen. 38:24
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Gen. 39:3
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: Gen. 39:4
But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: Gen. 39:8
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? Gen. 39:9
Now it happened on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house, and was doing some business, without any man with him: Gen. 39:11
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. Gen. 39:15
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done, was under him. Gen. 39:22
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper. Gen. 39:23
¤ After this, it came to pass, that two eunuchs, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, offended their lord. Gen. 40:1
The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head: Gen. 40:16
And that in one basket which was uppermost, I carried all meats that are made by the art of baking, and that the birds ate out of it. Gen. 40:17
The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn. Gen. 40:22
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it. Gen. 41:8
And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them: Gen. 41:15
And behold, there followed these, other seven kine, so very ill-favoured and lean, that I never saw the like in the land of Egypt: Gen. 41:19
And they devoured the beauty of the former: I told this dream to the conjecturers, and there is no man that can expound it. Gen. 41:24
And the seven lean and thin kine that came up after them, and the seven thin ears that were blasted with the burning wind, are seven years of famine to come: Gen. 41:27
After which shall follow other seven years of so great scarcity, that all the abundance before shall be forgotten: for the famine shall consume all the land, Gen. 41:30
And for that thou didst see the second time a dream pertaining to the same thing: it is a token of the certainty, and that the word of God cometh to pass, and is fulfilled speedily. Gen. 41:32
That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years, Gen. 41:34
That shall now presently ensue: and let all the corn be laid up, under Pharao's hands, and be reserved in the cities. Gen. 41:35
And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God? Gen. 41:38
He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee? Gen. 41:39
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt. Gen. 41:43
And there was so great abundance of wheat, that it was equal to the sand of the sea, and the plenty exceeded measure. Gen. 41:49
Now when the seven years of plenty that had been in Egypt were passed: Gen. 41:53
And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao, for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you. Gen. 41:55
¤ And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless? Gen. 42:1
I have heard that wheat is sold in Egypt: Go ye down, and buy us necessaries, that we may live, and not be consumed with want. Gen. 42:2
And they entered into the land of Egypt with others that went to buy. For the famine was in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 42:5
He saith, This is it that I said: You are spies. Gen. 42:14
If you be peaceable men, let one of your brethren be bound in prison: and go ye your ways, and carry the corn that you have bought, unto your houses. Gen. 42:19
And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said. Gen. 42:20
And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter. Gen. 42:23
And said to his brethren: My money is given me again; behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? Gen. 42:28
And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Chanaan, and they told him all things that had befallen them, saying: Gen. 42:29
And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways, Gen. 42:33
And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may know you are not spies: and you may receive this man again, that is kept in prison: and afterwards may have leave to buy what you will. Gen. 42:34
Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery, in that you told him you had also another brother. Gen. 43:6
But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you? Gen. 43:7
And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish. Gen. 43:8
And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses. Gen. 43:18
But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there. Gen. 43:25
And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane): Gen. 43:32
Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him. Gen. 43:34
The cup which you have stolen, is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. Gen. 44:5
The money, that we found in the top of our sacks, we brought back to thee from the land of Chanaan: how then should it be that we should steal out of thy lord's house, gold or silver? Gen. 44:8
With whomsoever of thy servants shall be found that which thou seekest, let him die, and we will be the bondmen of my lord. Gen. 44:9
And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining. Gen. 44:15
Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father. Gen. 44:17
And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. Gen. 44:20
Therefore when we were gone up to thy servant our father, we told him all that my lord had said. Gen. 44:24
Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two. Gen. 44:27
And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. Gen. 44:31
For I cannot return to my father without the boy, lest I be a witness of the calamity that will oppress my father. Gen. 44:34
¤ Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another. Gen. 45:1
Be not afraid, and let it not seem to you a hard case that you sold me into these countries: for God sent me before you into Egypt for your preservation. Gen. 45:5
And God sent me before, that you may be preserved upon the earth, and may have food to live. Gen. 45:7
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, thy sheep, and thy herds, and all things that thou hast. Gen. 45:10
And there I will feed thee, (for there are yet five years of famine remaining) lest both thou perish, and thy house, and all things that thou hast. Gen. 45:11
Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you. Gen. 45:12
You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me. Gen. 45:13
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan, Gen. 45:17
And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me; and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land. Gen. 45:18
Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives; and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed: Gen. 45:19
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived, Gen. 45:27
¤ And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac, Gen. 46:1
And all that he had in the land of Chanaan: and he came into Egypt with all his seed; Gen. 46:6
And these are the names of the children of Israel, that entered into Egypt, he and his children. His firstborn Ruben, Gen. 46:8

And he said: Did I not tell thee, that whatsoever God should command me, that I would do? Num. 23:26
And Balac said to him: Come and I will bring thee to another place; if peradventure it please God that thou mayest curse them from thence. Num. 23:27
¤ And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord that he should bless Israel, he went not as he had gone before, to seek divination: but setting his face towards the desert, Num. 24:1
The hearer of the words of God hath said, he that hath beheld the vision of the Almighty, he that falleth, and so his eyes are opened: Num. 24:4
God hath brought him out of Egypt, whose strength is like to the rhinoceros. They shall devour the nations that are his enemies, and break their bones, and pierce them with arrows. Num. 24:8
Lying down he hath slept as a lion, and as a lioness, whom none shall dare to rouse. He that blesseth thee, shall also himself be blessed: he that curseth thee shall be reckoned accursed. Num. 24:9
If Balac would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to utter any thing of my own head either good or evil: but whatsoever the Lord shall say, that I will speak? Num. 24:13
Out of Jacob shall he come that shall rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city. Num. 24:19

If a woman vow any thing, and bind herself by an oath, being in her father's house, and but yet a girl in age: if her father knew the vow that she hath promised, and the oath wherewith she hath bound her soul, and held his peace, she shall be bound by the vow: Num. 30:3
The day that her husband shall hear it, and not gainsay it, she shall be bound to the vow, and shall give whatsoever she promised. Num. 30:7

But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves: Num. 31:18
And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day. Num. 31:19

And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: Num. 31:36
Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle. Num. 31:42

As well for the children of Israel as for strangers and sojourners, that he may flee to them, who hath shed blood against his will. Num. 35:15
If any man strike with iron, and he die that was struck: he shall be guilty of murder, and he himself shall die. Num. 35:16
If he throw a stone, and he that is struck die: he shall be punished in the same manner. Num. 35:17
If he that is struck with wood die: he shall be revenged by the blood of him that struck him. Num. 35:18
The kinsman of him that was slain, shall kill the murderer: as soon as he apprehendeth him, he shall kill him. Num. 35:19
Or being his enemy, strike him with his hand, and he die: the striker shall be guilty of murder: the kinsman of him that was slain as soon as he findeth him, shall kill him. Num. 35:21

Turn you, and come to the mountain of the Amorrhites, and to the other places that are next to it, the plains and the hills and the vales towards the south, and by the sea shore, the land of the Chanaanites, and of Libanus, as far as the great river Euphrates. Dt. 1:7
Behold, said he, I have delivered it to you: go in and possess it, concerning which the Lord swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their seed after them. Dt. 1:8
And I said to you at that time: Dt. 1:9
Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers. Dt. 1:13
And I commanded them, saying: Hear them, and judge that which is just: whether he be one of your country, or a stranger. Dt. 1:16
And I commanded you all things that you were to do. Dt. 1:18
You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us. Dt. 1:27
And in the wilderness (as thou hast seen) the Lord thy God hath carried thee, as a man is wont to carry his little son, all the way that you have come, until you came to this place. Dt. 1:31
Except Caleb the son of Jephone: for he shall see it, and to him I will give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath followed the Lord. Dt. 1:36
Your children, of whom you said that they should be led away captives, and your sons who know not this day the difference of good and evil, they shall go in: and to them I will give the land, and they shall possess it. Dt. 1:39
And the Amorrhite that dwelt in the mountains coming out, and meeting you, chased you, as bees do: and made slaughter of you from Seir as far as Horma. Dt. 1:44
¤ And departing from thence we came into the wilderness that leadeth to the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time. Dt. 2:1
Take ye then good heed that you stir not against them. For I will not give you of their land so much as the step of one foot can tread upon, because I have given mount Seir to Esau, for a possession. Dt. 2:5
And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwelt in Seir, by the way of the plain from Elath and from Asiongaber, we came to the way that leadeth to the desert of Moab. Dt. 2:8

And the time that we journeyed from Cadesbarne till we passed over the torrent Zared, was thirty-eight years: until all the generation of the men that were fit for war was consumed out of the camp, as the Lord had sworn: Dt. 2:14
For his hand was against them, that they should perish from the midst of the camp. Dt. 2:15
As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day. Dt. 2:22
The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them and dwelt in their stead. Dt. 2:23
This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail. Dt. 2:25
Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through, Dt. 2:28
As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us. Dt. 2:29
And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest. Dt. 2:30
And we took all his cities at that time, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them: Dt. 2:34
Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils of the cities, which we took: Dt. 2:35
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us: Dt. 2:36
Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us. Dt. 2:37
And the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon. Dt. 3:2

All the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls. Dt. 3:5
And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon unto the mount Hermon, Dt. 3:8
All the cities that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan. Dt. 3:10
And we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Arnon, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad. Dt. 3:12
Jair the son of Manasses possessed all the country of Argob unto the borders of Gessuri, and Machati. And he called Basan by his own name, Havoth Jair, that is to say, the towns of Jair, until this present day. Dt. 3:14
And I commanded you at that time, saying: The Lord your God giveth you this land for an inheritance, go ye well appointed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the strong men of you. Dt. 3:18
I commanded Josue also at that time, saying: Thy eyes have seen what the Lord your God hath done to these two kings: so will he do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt pass. Dt. 3:21
And I besought the Lord at that time, saying: Dt. 3:23
Lord God, thou hast begun to shew unto thy servant thy greatness, and most mighty hand, for there is no other God either in heaven or earth, that is able to do thy works, or to be compared to thy strength. Dt. 3:24
¤ And now, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you. Dt. 4:1
You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it: keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. Dt. 4:2
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord hath done against Beelphegor, how he hath destroyed all his worshippers from among you. Dt. 4:3
But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present day. Dt. 4:4
You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess: Dt. 4:5
And you shall observe, and fulfil them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation. Dt. 4:6
Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions. Dt. 4:7
For what other nation is there so renowned that hath ceremonies, and just judgments, and all the law, which I will set forth this day before your eyes? Dt. 4:8
Keep thyself therefore, and thy soul carefully. Forget not the words that thy eyes have seen, and let them not go out of thy heart all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach them to thy sons and to thy grandsons, Dt. 4:9
From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children. Dt. 4:10
And he shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in two tables of stone. Dt. 4:13
And he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess. Dt. 4:14
Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire: Dt. 4:15
The similitude of any beasts, that are upon the earth, or of birds, that fly under heaven, Dt. 4:17
Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide in the waters under the earth: Dt. 4:18
Lest perhaps lifting up thy eyes to heaven, thou see the sun and the moon, and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error thou adore and serve them, which the Lord thy God created for the service of all the nations, that are under heaven. Dt. 4:19
And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you. Dt. 4:21
I call this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you, Dt. 4:26
And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men's hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. Dt. 4:28
Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time, Dt. 4:32
That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived: Dt. 4:33
If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes. Dt. 4:34
That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him. Dt. 4:35
From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear his words out of the midst of the fire, Dt. 4:36
Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other. Dt. 4:39
Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee. Dt. 4:40
That any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities: Dt. 4:42
This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel, Dt. 4:44
Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt, Dt. 4:46
I was the mediator and stood between the Lord and you at that time, to shew you his words, for you feared the fire, and went not up into the mountain, and he said: Dt. 5:5
Thou shalt not make to thy self a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth. Dt. 5:8
Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that hate me, Dt. 5:9
And shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that love me, and keep my commandments. Dt. 5:10
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing. Dt. 5:11
The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself. Dt. 5:14
Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day. Dt. 5:15
Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee. Dt. 5:16
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife: nor his house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his. Dt. 5:21
Behold the Lord our God hath shewn us his majesty and his greatness, we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire, and have proved this day that God speaking with man, man hath lived. Dt. 5:24
What is all flesh, that it should hear the voice of the living God, who speaketh out of the midst of the fire, as we have heard, and be able to live? Dt. 5:26
Approach thou rather: and hear all things that the Lord our God shall say to thee, and thou shalt speak to us, and we will hear and will do them. Dt. 5:27
Who shall give them to have such a mind, to fear me, and to keep all my commandments at all times, that it may be well with them and with their children for ever? Dt. 5:29
But stand thou here with me, and I will speak to thee all my commandments, and ceremonies and judgments: which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land, which I will give them for a possession. Dt. 5:31
But you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God hath commanded, that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be long in the land of your possession. Dt. 5:33
¤ These are the precepts, and ceremonies, and judgments, which the Lord your God commanded that I should teach you, and that you should do them in the land into which you pass over to possess it: Dt. 6:1
That thou mayst fear the Lord thy God, and keep all his commandments and precepts, which I command thee, and thy sons, and thy grandsons, all the days of thy life, that thy days may be prolonged. Dt. 6:2
Hear, O Israel, and observe to do the things which the Lord hath commanded thee, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayst be greatly multiplied, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath promised thee a land flowing with milk and honey. Dt. 6:3
You shall not go after the strange gods of all the nations, that are round about you: Dt. 6:14
And do that which is pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with thee: and going in thou mayst possess the goodly land, concerning which the Lord swore to thy fathers, Dt. 6:18
That he would destroy all thy enemies before thee, as he hath spoken. Dt. 6:19
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in and give us the land, concerning which he swore to our fathers. Dt. 6:23
And the Lord commanded that we should do all these ordinances, and should fear the Lord our God, that it might be well with us all the days of our life, as it is at this day. Dt. 6:24
For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee. Dt. 7:4
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth. Dt. 7:6
And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations: Dt. 7:9
And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve. Dt. 7:10
And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee. Dt. 7:13
Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves. Dt. 7:20
¤ All the commandments, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for which the Lord swore to your fathers. Dt. 8:1
And thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were known in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no. Dt. 8:2
He afflicted thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Dt. 8:3
That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up. Dt. 8:5
That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and fear him. Dt. 8:6
That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee. Dt. 8:10
But remember the Lord thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfil his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth. Dt. 8:18
But if thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt utterly perish. Dt. 8:19
Thou shalt know therefore this day that the Lord thy God himself will pass over before thee, a devouring and consuming fire, to destroy and extirpate and bring them to nothing before thy face quickly, as he hath spoken to thee. Dt. 9:3
For it is not for thy justices, and the uprightness of thy heart that thou shalt go in to possess their lands: but because they have done wickedly, they are destroyed at thy coming in: and that the Lord might accomplish his word, which he promised by oath to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Dt. 9:5
Know therefore that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this excellent land in possession for thy justices, for thou art a very stiffnecked people. Dt. 9:6
Remember, and forget not how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou camest out of Egypt unto this place, thou hast always strove against the Lord. Dt. 9:7
And the Lord gave me two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and containing all the words that he spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire, when the people were assembled together. Dt. 9:10
And said to me: Arise, and go down from hence quickly: for thy people, which thou hast brought out of Egypt, have quickly forsaken the way that thou hast shewn them, and have made to themselves a molten idol. Dt. 9:12
And again the Lord said to me: I see that this people is stiffnecked: Dt. 9:13
Let me alone that I may destroy them, and abolish their name from under heaven, and set thee over a nation, that is greater and stronger than this. Dt. 9:14
And saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten calf, and had quickly forsaken his way, which he had shewn you: Dt. 9:16
And your sin that you had committed, that is, the calf, I took, and burned it with fire, and breaking it into pieces, until it was as small as dust, I threw it into the torrent, which cometh down from the mountain. Dt. 9:21
And when he sent you from Cadesbarne, saying: Go up, and possess the land that I have given you, and you slighted the commandment of the Lord your God, and did not believe him, neither would you hearken to his voice: Dt. 9:23
But were always rebellious from the day that I began to know you. Dt. 9:24
And I lay prostrate before the Lord forty days and nights, in which I humbly besought him, that he would not destroy you as he had threatened: Dt. 9:25
Lest perhaps the inhabitants of the land, out of which thou hast brought us, say: The Lord could not bring them into the land that he promised them, and he hated them: therefore he brought them out, that he might kill them in the wilderness, Dt. 9:28
¤ At that time the Lord said to me: Hew thee two tables of stone like the former, and come up to me into the mount: and thou shalt make an ark of wood, Dt. 10:1
And I will write on the tables the words that were in them, which thou brokest before, and thou shalt put them in the ark. Dt. 10:2
And returning from the mount, I came down, and put the tables into the ark, that I had made, and they are there till this present, as the Lord commanded me. Dt. 10:5
At that time he separated the tribe of Levi, to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before him in the ministry, and to bless in his name until this present day. Dt. 10:8
And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them. Dt. 10:11
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul: Dt. 10:12
And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee? Dt. 10:13
Behold heaven is the Lord's thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein. Dt. 10:14
And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved. Dt. 10:15
He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen. Dt. 10:21
Know this day the things that your children know not, who saw not the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great doings and strong hand, and stretched out arm, Dt. 11:2
Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, that he hath done, Dt. 11:7
That you may keep all his commandments, which I command you this day, and may go in, and possess the land, to which you are entering, Dt. 11:8
If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul: Dt. 11:13
He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil, Dt. 11:14
And your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled. Dt. 11:15
And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you. Dt. 11:17
Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up. Dt. 11:19
That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth. Dt. 11:21
Every place, that your foot shall tread upon, shall be yours. From the desert, and from Libanus, from the great river Euphrates unto the western sea shall be your borders. Dt. 11:24
None shall stand against you: the Lord your God shall lay the dread and fear of you upon all the land that you shall tread upon, as he hath spoken to you. Dt. 11:25
Which are beyond the Jordan, behind the way that goeth to the setting of the sun, in the land of the Chanaanite who dwelleth in the plain country over against Galgala, which is near the valley that reacheth and entereth far. Dt. 11:30
For you shall pass over the Jordan, to possess the land, which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have it and possess it. Dt. 11:31
See therefore that you fulfil the ceremonies and judgments, which I shall set this day before you. Dt. 11:32
¤ These are the precepts and judgments, that you must do in the land, which the Lord the God of thy fathers will give thee, to possess it all the days that thou shalt walk upon the earth. Dt. 12:1
Destroy all the places in which the nations, that you shall possess, worshipped their gods upon high mountains, and hills, and under every shady tree: Dt. 12:2
And you shall offer in that place your holocausts and victims, the tithes and firstfruits of your hands and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of your herds and your sheep. Dt. 12:6
You shall not do there the things we do here this day, every man that which seemeth good to himself. Dt. 12:8
You shall pass over the Jordan, and shall dwell in the land which the Lord your God will give you, that you may have rest from all enemies round about: and may dwell without any fear, Dt. 12:10
In the place, which the Lord your God shall choose, that his name may be therein. Thither shall you bring all the things that I command you, holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the firstfruits of your hands: and whatsoever is the choicest in the gifts which you shall vow to the Lord. Dt. 12:11
There shall you feast before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite that dwelleth in your cities. For he hath no other part and possession among you. Dt. 12:12
Beware lest thou offer thy holocausts in every place that thou shalt see: Dt. 12:13
But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices, and shalt do all that I command thee. Dt. 12:14
But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it: Dt. 12:15
Thou mayst not eat in thy towns the tithes of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the firstborn of thy herds and thy cattle, nor any thing that thou vowest, and that thou wilt offer voluntarily, and the firstfruits of thy hands: Dt. 12:17
But thou shalt eat them before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, thou and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and maidservant, and the Levite that dwelleth in thy cities: and thou shalt rejoice and be refreshed before the Lord thy God in all things, whereunto thou shalt put thy hand. Dt. 12:18
Take heed thou forsake not the Levite all the time that thou livest in the land. Dt. 12:19
When the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he hath spoken to thee, and thou wilt eat the flesh that thy soul desireth: Dt. 12:20
And if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off, thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee. Dt. 12:21
Only beware of this, that thou eat not the blood, for the blood is for the soul: and therefore thou must not eat the soul with the flesh: Dt. 12:23
That it may be well with thee and thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord. Dt. 12:25
Observe and hear all the things that I command thee, that it may be well with thee and thy children after thee for ever, when thou shalt do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God. Dt. 12:28
What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish. Dt. 12:32
¤ If there rise in the midst of thee a prophet or one that saith he hath dreamed a dream, and he foretell a sign and a wonder, Dt. 13:1
And that come to pass which he spoke, and he say to thee: Let us go and follow strange gods, which thou knowest not, and let us serve them: Dt. 13:2
Thou shalt not hear the words of that prophet or dreamer: for the Lord your God trieth you, that it may appear whether you love him with all your heart, and with all your soul, or not. Dt. 13:3
And that prophet or forger of dreams shall be slain: because he spoke to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage: to make thee go out of the way, which the Lord thy God commanded thee: and thou shalt take away the evil out of the midst of thee. Dt. 13:5
If thy brother the son of thy mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife that is in thy bosom, or thy friend, whom thou lovest as thy own soul, would persuade thee secretly, saying: Let us go, and serve strange gods, which thou knowest not, nor thy fathers, Dt. 13:6
Of all the nations round about, that are near or afar off, from one end of the earth to the other, Dt. 13:7
That all Israel hearing may fear, and may do no more any thing like this. Dt. 13:11
Inquire carefully and diligently, the truth of the thing by looking well into it, and if thou find that which is said to be certain, and that this abomination hath been really committed, Dt. 13:14
Thou shalt forthwith kill the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and shalt destroy it and all things that are in it, even the cattle. Dt. 13:15
And all the household goods that are there, thou shalt gather together in the midst of the streets thereof, and shall burn them with the city itself, so as to consume all for the Lord thy God, and that it be a heap for ever: it shall be built no more. Dt. 13:16
And there shall nothing of that anathema stick to thy hand: that the Lord may turn from the wrath of his fury, and may have mercy on thee, and multiply thee as he swore to thy fathers, Dt. 13:17
When thou shalt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, keeping all his precepts, which I command thee this day, that thou mayst do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord thy God. Dt. 13:18
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth. Dt. 14:2
Eat not the things that are unclean. Dt. 14:3
These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat, Dt. 14:4
Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat. Dt. 14:6
But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you. Dt. 14:7
These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat. Dt. 14:9
All birds that are clean you shall eat. Dt. 14:11
Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten. Dt. 14:19
All that is clean, you shall eat. Dt. 14:20
But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam. Dt. 14:21
Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth, Dt. 14:22
And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times. Dt. 14:23
And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house: Dt. 14:26
And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession. Dt. 14:27
The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates. Dt. 14:28
And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do. Dt. 14:29
And there shall be no poor nor beggar among you: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in the land which he will give thee in possession. Dt. 15:4
Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep all things that he hath ordained, and which I command thee this day, he will bless thee, as he hath promised. Dt. 15:5
If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within thy gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, Dt. 15:7
But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of. Dt. 15:8
Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee. Dt. 15:9
But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy hand. Dt. 15:10
There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation: therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother, that liveth in the land. Dt. 15:11
Remember that thou also wast a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God made thee free, and therefore I now command thee this. Dt. 15:15
But if he say: I will not depart: because he loveth thee, and thy house, and findeth that he is well with thee: Dt. 15:16
Turn not away thy eyes from them when thou makest them free: because he hath served thee six years according to the wages of a hireling: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works that thou dost. Dt. 15:18
Of the firstlings, that come of thy herds and thy sheep, thou shalt sanctify to the Lord thy God whatsoever is of the male sex. Thou shalt not work with the firstling of a bullock, and thou shalt not shear the firstlings of thy sheep. Dt. 15:19
In the sight of the Lord thy God shalt thou eat them every year, in the place that the Lord shall choose, thou and thy house. Dt. 15:20
¤ Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night. Dt. 16:1
And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there. Dt. 16:2
Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy life. Dt. 16:3
No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning. Dt. 16:4
But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt. Dt. 16:6
Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn. Dt. 16:9
And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: Dt. 16:11
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded. Dt. 16:12
And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates. Dt. 16:14
Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment, Dt. 16:18
Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee. Dt. 16:20
¤ Thou shalt not sacrifice to the Lord thy God a sheep, or an ox, wherein there is blemish, or any fault: for that is an abomination to the Lord thy God. Dt. 17:1
When there shall be found among you within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, man or woman that do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, and transgress his covenant, Dt. 17:2
And this is told thee, and hearing it thou hast inquired diligently, and found it to be true, and that the abomination is committed in Israel: Dt. 17:4
Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned. Dt. 17:5
By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he die that is to be slain. Let no man be put to death, when only one beareth witness against him. Dt. 17:6
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and afterwards the hands of the rest of the people: that thou mayst take away the evil out of the midst of thee. Dt. 17:7
If thou perceive that there be among you a hard and doubtful matter in judgment between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose. Dt. 17:8
And thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment. Dt. 17:9
And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place, which the Lord shall choose, and what they shall teach thee, Dt. 17:10
But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from Israel: Dt. 17:12
And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride. Dt. 17:13
When thou art come into the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee, and possessest it, and shalt say: I will set a king over me, as all nations have that are round about: Dt. 17:14
Thou shalt set him whom the Lord thy God shall choose out of the number of thy brethren. Thou mayst not make a man of another nation king, that is not thy brother. Dt. 17:15
He shall not have many wives, that may allure his mind, nor immense sums of silver and gold. Dt. 17:17
And he shall have it with him, and shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and keep his words and ceremonies, that are commanded in the law; Dt. 17:19
And that his heart be not lifted up with pride over his brethren, nor decline to the right or to the left, that he and his sons may reign a long time over Israel. Dt. 17:20
¤ The priests and Levites, and all that are of the same tribe, shall have no part nor inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord, and his oblations, Dt. 18:1
This shall be the priest's due from the people, and from them that offer victims: whether they sacrifice an ox, or a sheep, they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast: Dt. 18:3
He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord. Dt. 18:7
He shall receive the same portion of food that the rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers. Dt. 18:8
Neither let there be found among you any one that shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there be any wizard, Dt. 18:10
Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead. Dt. 18:11
I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. Dt. 18:18
And he that will not hear his words, which he shall speak in my name, I will be the revenger. Dt. 18:19
But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain. Dt. 18:20
And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I know the word that the Lord hath not spoken? Dt. 18:21
Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him. Dt. 18:22
Paving diligently the way: and thou shalt divide the whole province of thy land equally into three parts: that he who is forced to flee for manslaughter, may have near at hand whither to escape. Dt. 19:3
This shall be the law of the slayer that fleeth, whose life is to be saved: He that killeth his neighbor ignorantly, and who is proved to have had no hatred against him yesterday and the day before: Dt. 19:4
Lest perhaps the next kinsman of him whose blood was shed, pushed on by his grief should pursue, and apprehend him, if the way be too long, and take away the life of him who is not guilty of death, because he is proved to have had no hatred before against him that was slain. Dt. 19:6
Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another. Dt. 19:7
And when the Lord thy God shall have enlarged thy borders, as he swore to thy fathers, and shall give thee all the land that he promised them, Dt. 19:8
(Yet so, if thou keep his commandments, and do the things which I command thee this day, that thou love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways at all times) thou shalt add to thee other three cities, and shalt double the number of the three cities aforesaid: Dt. 19:9
That innocent blood may not be shed in the midst of the land which the Lord thy God will give thee to possess, lest thou be guilty of blood. Dt. 19:10
Thou shalt not pity him, and thou shalt take away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that it may be well with thee. Dt. 19:13
Thou shalt not take nor remove thy neighbour's landmark, which thy predecessors have set in thy possession, which the Lord thy God will give thee in the land that thou shalt receive to possess. Dt. 19:14
Both of them, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord in the sight of the priests and the judges that shall be in those days. Dt. 19:17

So shalt thou do to all cities that are at a great distance from thee, and are not of these cities which thou shalt receive in possession. Dt. 20:15

When thou hast besieged a city a long time, and hath compassed it with bulwarks, to take it, thou shalt not cut down the trees that may be eaten of, neither shalt thou spoil the country round about with axes: for it is a tree, and not a man, neither can it increase the number of them that fight against thee. Dt. 20:19
But if there be any trees that are not fruitful, but wild, and fit for other uses, cut them down, and make engines, until thou take the city, which fighteth against thee. Dt. 20:20

Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee. Dt. 22:24
But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die: Dt. 22:25

That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers. Dt. 27:3
And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying: Dt. 27:11

The Lord will bring upon thee a nation from afar, and from the uttermost ends of the earth, like an eagle that flyeth swiftly, whose tongue thou canst not understand, Dt. 28:49
A most insolent nation, that will shew no regard to the ancients, nor have pity on the infant, Dt. 28:50
The man that is nice among you, and very delicate, shall envy his own brother, and his wife, that lieth in his bosom, Dt. 28:54
So that he will not give them of the flesh of his children, which he shall eat: because he hath nothing else in the siege and the want, wherewith thy enemies shall distress thee within all thy gates. Dt. 28:55
The tender and delicate woman, that could not go upon the ground, nor set down her foot for over much niceness and tenderness, will envy her husband who lieth in her bosom, the flesh of her son, and of her daughter, Dt. 28:56
And the filth of the afterbirths, that come forth from between her thighs, and the children that are born the same hour. For they shall eat them secretly for the want of all things, in the siege and distress, wherewith thy enemy shall oppress thee within thy gates. Dt. 28:57
If thou wilt not keep, and fulfil all the words of this law, that are written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name: that is, The Lord thy God: Dt. 28:58
Moreover the Lord will bring upon thee all the diseases, and plagues, that are not written in the volume of this law till he consume thee: Dt. 28:61
And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 28:63
The Lord shall bring thee again with ships into Egypt, by the way whereof he said to thee that thou shouldst see it no more. There shalt thou be set to sale to thy enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. Dt. 28:68
¤ These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb. Dt. 29:1
And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land. Dt. 29:2
And the Lord hath not given you a heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day. Dt. 29:4
You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God. Dt. 29:6
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfil them: that you may understand all that you do. Dt. 29:9
Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water: Dt. 29:11
That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee. Dt. 29:12
That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Dt. 29:13
But with all that are present and that are absent. Dt. 29:15
You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped. Dt. 29:17
And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven, Dt. 29:20
And utterly destroy him out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses that are contained in the book of this law and covenant: Dt. 29:21
And the following generation shall say, and the children that shall be born hereafter, and the strangers that shall come from afar, seeing the plagues of that land and the evils wherewith the Lord hath afflicted it, Dt. 29:22
Burning it with brimstone, and the heat of salt, so that it cannot be sown any more, nor any green thing grow therein, after the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord destroyed in his wrath and indignation: Dt. 29:23
Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this volume: Dt. 29:27
Secret things to the Lord our God: things that are manifest, to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Dt. 29:29
The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed: that thou mayst love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayst live. Dt. 30:6
And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee. Dt. 30:7
This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee: Dt. 30:11
Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfil it in work? Dt. 30:12
Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded? Dt. 30:13
But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it. Dt. 30:14
Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil: Dt. 30:15
That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 30:16
But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them: Dt. 30:17
I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it. Dt. 30:18
I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Dt. 30:19
And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days,) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them. Dt. 30:20
And the people being all assembled together, both men and women, children and strangers, that are within thy gates: that hearing they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and keep, and fulfil all the words of this law: Dt. 31:12
That their children also, who now are ignorant, may hear, and fear the Lord their God, all the days that they live in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 31:13
And the Lord said to Moses: Behold the days of thy death are nigh: call Josue, and stand ye in the tabernacle of the testimony, that I may give him a charge. So Moses and Josue went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony: Dt. 31:14
And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me. Dt. 31:17
But I will hide, and cover my face in that day, for all the evils which they have done, because they have followed strange gods. Dt. 31:18
Now therefore write you this canticle, and teach the children of Israel: that they may know it by heart, and sing it by mouth, and this song may be unto me for a testimony among the children of Israel. Dt. 31:19
For I will bring them into the land, for which I swore to their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and are full and fat, they will turn away after strange gods, and will serve them: and will despise me, and make void my covenant. Dt. 31:20
And after many evils and afflictions shall have come upon them, this canticle shall answer them for a testimony, which no oblivion shall take away out of the mouth of their seed. For I know their thoughts, and what they are about to do this day, before that I bring them into the land which I have promised them. Dt. 31:21
Take this book, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God: that it may be there for a testimony against thee. Dt. 31:26
For I know that, after my death, you will do wickedly, and will quickly turn aside from the way that I have commanded you: and evils shall come upon you in the latter times, when you shall do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him by the works of your hands. Dt. 31:29
Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee? Dt. 32:6
He set him upon high land: that he might eat the fruits of the fields, that he might suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the hardest stone, Dt. 32:13
They sacrificed to devils and not to God: to gods whom they knew not: that were newly come up, whom their fathers worshipped not. Dt. 32:17
Thou hast forsaken the God that begot thee, and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee. Dt. 32:18
They have provoked me with that which was no god, and have angered me with their vanities: and I will provoke them with that which is no people, and will vex them with a foolish nation. Dt. 32:21
They shall be consumed with famine, and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite: I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents. Dt. 32:24
O that they would be wise and would understand, and would provide for their last end. Dt. 32:29
Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide: the day of destruction is at hand, and the time makes haste to come. Dt. 32:35
The Lord will judge his people, and will have mercy on his servants: he shall see that their hand is weakened, and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed. Dt. 32:36
See ye that I alone am, and there is no other God besides me: I will kill and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. Dt. 32:39
If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, and my hand take hold on judgment: I will render vengeance to my enemies, and repay them that hate me. Dt. 32:41
And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law: Dt. 32:46
For they are not commanded you in vain, but that every one should live in them, and that doing them you may continue a long time in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it. Dt. 32:47
Go up into this mountain Abarim, (that is to say, of passages,) unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho: and see the land of Chanaan, which I will deliver to the children of Israel to possess, and die thou in the mountain. Dt. 32:49
He hath loved the people, all the saints are in his hand: and they that approach to his feet, shall receive of his doctrine. Dt. 33:3
Bless, O Lord, his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and let not them that hate him rise. Dt. 33:11
To Joseph also he said: Of the blessing of the Lord be his land, of the fruits of heaven, and of the dew, and of the deep that lieth beneath. Dt. 33:13
And of the fruits of the earth, and of the fulness thereof. The blessing of him that appeared in the bush, come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren. Dt. 33:16
And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel. Dt. 33:21
There is no other god like the God of the rightest: he that is mounted upon the heaven is thy helper. By his magnificence the clouds run hither and thither. Dt. 33:26
Blessed art thou, Israel: who is like to thee, O people, that art saved by the Lord? the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy glory: thy enemies shall deny thee, and thou shalt tread upon their necks. Dt. 33:29
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Josue, the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, and said to him: Josu. 1:1
I will deliver to you every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, as I have said to Moses. Josu. 1:3
Take courage, and be strong: for thou shalt divide by lot to this people the land for which I swore to their fathers, that I would deliver it to them. Josu. 1:6
Take courage therefore, and be very valiant: that thou mayst observe and do all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayst understand all things which thou dost. Josu. 1:7
Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it. Josu. 1:8
Your wives, and children; and cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan: but pass you over armed before your brethren all of you that are strong of hand, and fight for them, Josu. 1:14
And they made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast commanded us, we will do: and whither soever thou shalt send us, we will go. Josu. 1:16
He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do manfully. Josu. 1:18
¤ And Josue, the son of Nun, sent from Setim two men, to spy secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land, and the city of Jericho. They went, and entered into the house of a woman that was a harlot, named Rahab, and lodged with her. Josu. 2:1
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies, and are come to view all the land. Josu. 2:3
Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut. Josu. 2:7
The men that were hid were not yet asleep, when behold the woman went up to them, and said: Josu. 2:8
I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all strength. Josu. 2:9
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea, at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon and Og whom you slew. Josu. 2:10
Now, therefore, swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewed mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father's house: and give me a true token. Josu. 2:12
That you will save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death. Josu. 2:13
Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them. Josu. 2:19
But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days, till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not. Josu. 2:22
And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue, the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them, Josu. 2:23
And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits: that you may see it afar off, and know which way you must go: for you have not gone this way before: and take care you come not near the ark. Josu. 3:4
And the Lord said to Josue: This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel: that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I am with thee also. Josu. 3:7
And do thou command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, and say to them: When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan, stand in it. Josu. 3:8
And again he said: By this you shall know, that the Lord, the living God, is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy, before your sight, the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also, and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite. Josu. 3:10
And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap. Josu. 3:13
So the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant, went on before them. Josu. 3:14
The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off, from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath, ran down into the sea of the wilderness, (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed. Josu. 3:16
And the people marched over against Jericho: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the people passed over, through the channel that was dried up. Josu. 3:17
That it may be a sign among you: and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What mean these stones? Josu. 4:6
And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day. Josu. 4:9
Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan, till all things were accomplished, which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste, and passed over. Josu. 4:10
In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived. Josu. 4:14
Command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, to come up out of the Jordan. Josu. 4:16
And when they that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up, and began to tread on the dry ground, the waters returned into their channel, and ran as they were wont before. Josu. 4:18
That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever. Josu. 4:24
¤ Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan, westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel. Josu. 5:1
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel. Josu. 5:2
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way: Josu. 5:4
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert, Josu. 5:5
During the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey. Josu. 5:6
And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day. Josu. 5:9
And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan. Josu. 5:12
And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab, the harlot, live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent. Josu. 6:17
But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden, and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled. Josu. 6:18
So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city, Josu. 6:20
And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also, and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword. Josu. 6:21
But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot's house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath. Josu. 6:22
But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord. Josu. 6:24
But Josue saved Rahab the harlot, and her father's house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying: Josu. 6:25
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates. Josu. 6:26
¤ But the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of that which was accursed. For Achan, the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare, of the tribe of Juda, took something of the anathema: and the Lord was angry against the children of Israel. Josu. 7:1
And returning, they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go, and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain, against enemies that are very few? Josu. 7:3
Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, but he shall flee from them: because he is defiled with the anathema. I will be no more with you, till you destroy him that is guilty of this wickedness. Josu. 7:12
Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The curse is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee, that is defiled with this wickedness. Josu. 7:13
And whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire, with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness in Israel. Josu. 7:15
Which being brought by in families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi: Josu. 7:17
For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment, exceeding good, and two hundred sicles of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sicles: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up. Josu. 7:21
Where Josue said: Because thou hast troubled us, the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him: and all things that were his, were consumed with fire. Josu. 7:25
And they gathered together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day. Josu. 7:26
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before. Josu. 8:6
And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people, Josu. 8:9
But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley. Josu. 8:13
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array, toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back. Josu. 8:14
And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out, Josu. 8:17
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee. Josu. 8:18
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush, that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it, and set it on fire. Josu. 8:19
And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back, and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued. Josu. 8:20
So Josue, and all Israel, seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned, and slew the men of Hai. Josu. 8:21
And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved. Josu. 8:22
So all being slain that had pursued after Israel, in his flight to the wilderness, and falling by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city. Josu. 8:24
And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons, all of the city of Hai. Josu. 8:25
And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by Mount Garizim, and half by Mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord, had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel. Josu. 8:33
After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all things that were written in the book of the law. Josu. 8:34
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children, and strangers, that dwelt among them. Josu. 8:35
¤ Now when these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains, and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, Josu. 9:1
But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai: Josu. 9:3
They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt. Josu. 9:9
And to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon, king of Hesebon, and Og, king of Basan, that was in Astaroth: Josu. 9:10
And Josue made peace with them, and entering into a league, promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them. Josu. 9:15
Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them. Josu. 9:16
They answered: It was told us, thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses, to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives, compelled by the dread we had of you, and we took this counsel. Josu. 9:24
So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain. Josu. 9:26
And he gave orders in that day, that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood, and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen. Josu. 9:27
¤ When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates, Josu. 10:1
Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel. Josu. 10:4
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon. Josu. 10:12
And it was told Josue, that the five kings were found hid in a cave of the city of Maceda. Josu. 10:17
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men to keep them shut up: Josu. 10:18
So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities. Josu. 10:20
And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein. Josu. 10:22
And when they were brought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them, Josu. 10:24
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna. Josu. 10:32
At that time Horam, king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people so as to leave none alive. Josu. 10:33
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis. Josu. 10:35
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it. Josu. 10:37
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him. Josu. 10:40
And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side: Josu. 11:2
And they all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude, Josu. 11:4
And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire. Josu. 11:11
Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire. Josu. 11:13
And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew. Josu. 11:17
There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. Josu. 11:19
For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses. Josu. 11:20
At that time Josue came and cut off the Enancims from the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of Juda and Israel, and destroyed their cities. Josu. 11:21
¤ These are the kings, whom the children of Israel slew and possessed their land beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun, from the torrent Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the east country that looketh towards the wilderness. Josu. 12:1
And from the wilderness, to the sea of Ceneroth towards the east, and to the sea of the wilderness, which is the most salt sea, on the east side by the way that leadeth to Bethsimoth: and on the south side that lieth under Asedoth, Phasga. Josu. 12:3
From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites. Josu. 13:3
Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee. Josu. 13:6
And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba, Josu. 13:16
And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land. Josu. 13:21
Balaam also the son of Beor the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain. Josu. 13:22
But my brethren, that had gone up with me, discouraged the heart of the people: and I nevertheless followed the Lord my God. Josu. 14:8
And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God. Josu. 14:9
As strong as I was at that time when I was sent to view the land: the strength of that time continueth in me until this day, as well to fight as to march. Josu. 14:11
And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel. Josu. 14:14
Its beginning was from the top of the most salt sea, and from the bay thereof, that looketh to the south. Josu. 15:2
And reaching as far as the borders of Debara from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Galgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adommin, on the south side of the torrent, and the border passeth the waters that are called the fountain of the sun: and the goings out thereof shall be at the fountain Rogel. Josu. 15:7
And it passeth on from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoa: and reacheth to the towns of mount Ephron: and it bendeth towards Baala, which is Cariathiarim, that is to say, the city of the woods. Josu. 15:9
And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters. Josu. 15:15
And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife. Josu. 15:16
But she answered: Give me a blessing: thou hast given me a southern and dry land, give me also a land that Is watered. And Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground. Josu. 15:19
From Accaron even to the sea: all places that lie towards Azotus and the villages thereof. Josu. 15:46
Azotus with its towns and villages. Gaza with its towns and villages, even to the torrent of Egypt, and the great sea that is the border thereof. Josu. 15:47
But the children of Juda could not destroy the Jebusite that dwelt in Jerusalem: and the Jebusite dwelt with the children of Juda in Jerusalem until this present day. Josu. 15:63
And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father. Josu. 17:4
So that the possession of Ephraim is on the south, and on the north that of Manasses, and the sea is the border of both, and they are joined together in the tribe of Aser on the north, and in the tribe of Issachar on the east. Josu. 17:10
But after that the children of Israel were grown strong, they subdued the Chanaanites, and made them their tributaries, and they did not kill them. Josu. 17:13
And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron. Josu. 17:16
Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out. Josu. 18:4
The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God. Josu. 18:6
And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo. Josu. 18:8
And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel, and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon. Josu. 18:13
And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda This is their coast towards the sea, westward. Josu. 18:14
And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel, Josu. 18:16
Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sun: Josu. 18:17
And It passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Boen the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down Into the plain, Josu. 18:18
And the border of their possession was Saraa and Esthaol, and Hirsemes, that is, the city of the sun, Josu. 19:41
And Mejarcon and Arecon, with the border that looketh towards Joppe, Josu. 19:46
That whosoever shall kill a person unawares may flee to them, and may escape the wrath of the kinsman, who is the avenger of blood. Josu. 20:3
And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in. Josu. 20:4
And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled. Josu. 20:6
These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the strangers, that dwelt among them, that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them, and not die by the hand of the kinsman, coveting to revenge the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause. Josu. 20:9
And they spoke to them in Silo in the land of Chanaan, and said: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given us to dwell in, and their suburbs to feed our cattle. Josu. 21:2
And to the rest of the children of Caath, that is, to the Levites, who remained, out of the tribes of Ephraim, and of Dan, and the half tribe of Manasses, ten cities. Josu. 21:5
And the lot came out to the children of Gerson, that they should take of the tribes of Issachar and of Aser and of Nephtali, and of the half tribe of Manasses in Basan, thirteen cities. Josu. 21:6
And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. Josu. 21:43
And said to them: You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: you have also obeyed me in all things, Josu. 22:2
Yet so that you observe attentively, and in work fulfil the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you: that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cleave to him, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul. Josu. 22:5
Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them, Josu. 22:7
And when the children of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers brought them an account that the children of Ruben, and of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses had built an altar in the land of Chanaan, upon the banks of the Jordan, over against the children of Israel: Josu. 22:11
Is it a small thing to you that you sinned with Beelphegor, and the stain of that crime remaineth in us to this day? and many of the people perished. Josu. 22:17
And if we did it with that mind, that we might lay upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him require and judge: Josu. 22:23
And not rather with this thought and design, that we should say: To morrow your children will say to our children: What have you to do with the Lord the God of Israel? Josu. 22:24
But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children to morrow may not say to our children: You have no part in the Lord. Josu. 22:27
God keep us from any such wickedness that we should revolt from the Lord, and leave off following his steps, by building an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, beside the altar of the Lord our God, which is erected before his tabernacle. Josu. 22:29
And Phinees the priest the son of Eleazar said to them: Now we know that the Lord is with us, because you are not guilty of this revolt, and you have delivered the children of Israel from the hand of the Lord. Josu. 22:31
And the saying pleased all that heard it. And the children of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession. Josu. 22:33
And the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad called the altar which they had built, Our testimony, that the Lord is God, Josu. 22:34
¤ And when a long time was passed, after that the Lord had given peace to Israel, all the nations round about being subdued, and Josue being now old, and far advanced in years: Josu. 23:1
And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you: Josu. 23:3
Only take courage, and be careful to observe all things that are written in the book of the law of Moses: and turn not aside from them neither to the right hand nor to the left: Josu. 23:6
Lest after that you are come in among the Gentiles, who will remain among you, you should swear by the name of their gods, and serve them, and adore them: Josu. 23:7
And then the Lord God will take away before your eyes nations that are great and very strong, and no man shall be able to resist you. Josu. 23:9
This only take care of with all diligence, that you love the Lord your God. Josu. 23:11
But if you will embrace the errors of these nations that dwell among you, and make marriages with them, and join friendships: Josu. 23:12
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. Josu. 23:13
Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed, Josu. 23:14
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time. Josu. 24:7
And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands. Josu. 24:11
But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Josu. 24:15
And Josue said to the people, You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses. Josu. 24:22
Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem. Josu. 24:25
And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord. Josu. 24:26
And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God. Josu. 24:27
And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel. Josu. 24:31
And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph. Josu. 24:32
Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim. Josu. 24:33
And Juda said to Simeon, his brother: Come up with me into my lot, and fight against the Chanaanite, that I also may go along with thee into thy lot. And Simeon went with him. Judg. 1:3
And Juda going forward against the Chanaanite, that dwelt in Hebron, (the name whereof was in former times Cariath-Arbe) slew Sesai, and Ahiman, and Tholmai: Judg. 1:10
And departing from thence, he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters. Judg. 1:11
And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife. Judg. 1:12
And Juda went with Simeon, his brother, and they together defeated the Chanaanites that dwelt in Sephaath, and slew them. And the name of the city was called Horma, that is, Anathema. Judg. 1:17
But the sons of Benjamin did not destroy the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: and the Jebusite hath dwelt with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this present day. Judg. 1:21
And when he had shewed them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man, and all his kindred, they let go: Judg. 1:25
Ephraim also did not slay the Chanaanite that dwelt in Gazer, but dwelt with him. Judg. 1:29
And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites, the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them. Judg. 1:32
And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him. Judg. 1:35
¤ And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever: Judg. 2:1
On condition that you should not make a league with the inhabitants of this land, but should throw down their altars: and you would not hear my voice: why have you done this? Judg. 2:2
Wherefore I would not destroy them from before your face; that you may have enemies, and their gods may be your ruin. Judg. 2:3
And the name of that place was called, The place of weepers, or of tears: and there they offered sacrifices to the Lord. Judg. 2:5
And they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:7
And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord and the works which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:10
And they left the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt: and they followed strange gods, and the gods of the people that dwelt round about them, and they adored them: and they provoked the Lord to anger, Judg. 2:12
And the Lord being angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers: who took them and sold them to their enemies, that dwelt round about: neither could they stand against their enemies: Judg. 2:14
And the Lord raised up judges, to deliver them from the hands of those that oppressed them: but they would not hearken to them, Judg. 2:16
That through them I may try Israel, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not. Judg. 2:22
¤ These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites: Judg. 3:1
That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war: Judg. 3:2
The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in Mount Libanus, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath. Judg. 3:3
And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers, by the hand of Moses, or not. Judg. 3:4
And when he had presented the gifts unto him he followed his companions that came along with him. Judg. 3:18
Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, he said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him, Judg. 3:19
With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in the body as he had struck it in: and forthwith, by the secret parts of nature, the excrements of the belly came out. Judg. 3:22
And waiting a long time, till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground. Judg. 3:25
But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and valiant men: none of them could escape. Judg. 3:29
And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years. Judg. 3:30
And there was at that time Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people. Judg. 4:4
And it was told Sisara, that Barac, the son of Abinoem, was gone up to Mount Thabor: Judg. 4:12
And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac; insomuch, that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot, Judg. 4:15
So God that day humbled Jabin, the king of Chanaan, before the children of Israel: Judg. 4:23
¤ In that day Debbora and Barac, son of Abinoem, sung, and said: Judg. 5:1
O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord. Judg. 5:2
Hear, O ye kings, give ear, O ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord, the God of Israel. Judg. 5:3
In the days of Samgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel, the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways. Judg. 5:6
My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you, that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord. Judg. 5:9
Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way. Judg. 5:10
Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight. Judg. 5:14
Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayst hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men. Judg. 5:16
One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law: Judg. 5:29
So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years. Judg. 5:31
And delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, and of all the enemies that afflicted you: and I cast them out at your coming in, and gave you their land. Judg. 6:9
And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas, the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon, his son, was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian, Judg. 6:11
And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go, in this thy strength, and thou shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee. Judg. 6:14
And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me: Judg. 6:17
And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so, Judg. 6:20
And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. Judg. 6:22
That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father's, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father's: and cut down the grove that is about the altar: Judg. 6:25
Then Gedeon, taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night. Judg. 6:27
And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built. Judg. 6:28
And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove. Judg. 6:30
He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:31
From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joas had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:32
I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel. Judg. 6:37
And he said again to God: Let not thy wrath be kindled against me, if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew. Judg. 6:39
And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. Judg. 6:40
¤ Then Jerobaal, who is the same as Gedeon, rising up early, and all the people with him, came to the fountain that is called Harad. Now the camp of Madian was in the valley, on the north side of the high hill. Judg. 7:1
And the Lord said to Gedeon: The people that are with thee are many, and Madian shall not be delivered into their hands: lest Israel should glory against me, and say: I was delivered by my own strength. Judg. 7:2
And when the people were come down to the waters, the Lord said to Gedeon: They that shall lap the water with their tongues, as dogs are wont to lap, thou shalt set apart by themselves: but they that shall drink bowing down their knees, shall be on the other side. Judg. 7:5
And the number of them that had lapped water; casting it with the hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: and all the rest of the multitude had drunk kneeling. Judg. 7:6
And the Lord said to Gedeon: By the three hundred men, that lapped water, I will save you, and deliver Madian into thy hand: but let all the rest of the people return to their place. Judg. 7:7
But Madian and Amalec, and all the eastern people, lay scattered in the valley, as a multitude of locusts: their camels also were innumerable, as the sand that lieth on the sea shore. Judg. 7:12
And Gedeon, and the three hundred men that were with him, went into part of the camp, at the beginning of the midnight watch, and the watchmen being alarmed, they began to sound their trumpets, and to clap the pitchers one against another. Judg. 7:19
¤ And the men of Ephraim said to him: What is this that thou meanest to do, that thou wouldst not call us, when thou wentest to fight against Madian? And they chid him sharply, and almost offered violence. Judg. 8:1
And he answered them: What could I have done like to that which you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer? Judg. 8:2
And when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled. Judg. 8:4
And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana, the kings of Madian. Judg. 8:5
The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army. Judg. 8:6
And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered. Judg. 8:8
But Zebee and Salmana were resting with all their army. For fifteen thousand men were left of all the troops of the eastern people, and one hundred and twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword were slain. Judg. 8:10
And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt. Judg. 8:11
And he came to Soccoth, and said to them: Behold Zebee, and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint. Judg. 8:15
And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment, which the kings of Madian were wont to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels' necks. Judg. 8:26
And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech. Judg. 8:31
But after Gedeon was dead, the children of Israel turned again, and committed fornication with Baalim. And they made a covenant with Baal, that he should be their god: Judg. 8:33
Speak to all the men of Sichem: whether is better for you that seventy men, all the sons of Jerobaal, should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And withal, consider that I am your bone, and your flesh. Judg. 9:2
And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him. Judg. 9:4
And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem. Judg. 9:6
And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees? Judg. 9:13
And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech. Judg. 9:25
And Gaal, the son of Obed, cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul, his servant, ruler over the men of Emor, the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him? Judg. 9:28
Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come. Judg. 9:29
Arise, therefore, in the night, with the people that is with thee, and lie hid in the field: Judg. 9:32
Again Gaal said: Behold, there cometh people down from the midst of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak. Judg. 9:37
And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst: Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him. Judg. 9:38
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, Judg. 9:43
With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field. Judg. 9:44
And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it. Judg. 9:45
Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together, Judg. 9:47
So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort, they set it on fire: and so it came to pass, that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem. Judg. 9:49
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him. Judg. 9:54
And when he was dead all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes. Judg. 9:55
And God repaid the evil that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren. Judg. 9:56
Having thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day, in the land of Galaad. Judg. 10:4
And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad: Judg. 10:8
Insomuch that the children of Ammon, passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda, and Benjamin, and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly. Judg. 10:9
¤ There was at that time Jephte, the Galaadite, a most valiant man, and a warrior, the son of a woman that was a harlot, and his father was Galaad. Judg. 11:1
And he answered them: Are not you the men that hated me, and cast me out of my father's house, and now you are come to me, constrained by necessity? Judg. 11:7
And the princes of Galaad said to Jephte: For this cause we are now come to thee, that thou mayst go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be head over all the inhabitants of Galaad. Judg. 11:8
Jephte also said to them: If you be come to me sincerely, that I should fight for you against the children of Ammon, and the Lord shall deliver them into my hand, shall I be your prince? Judg. 11:9
They answered him: The Lord, who heareth these things, he himself is mediator and witness that we will do as we have promised. Judg. 11:10
And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name: What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land? Judg. 11:12
And the Lord delivered him, with all his army, into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite, the inhabitant of that country, Judg. 11:21
Unless, perhaps, thou art better than Balac, the son of Sephor, king of Moab: or canst shew that he strove against Israel, and fought against him, Judg. 11:25
And she said to her father: Grant me only this, which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions. Judg. 11:37
That, from year to year, the daughters of Israel assemble together, and lament the daughter of Jephte the Galaadite, for four days. Judg. 11:40
¤ But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house. Judg. 12:1
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me? Judg. 12:3
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim, two and forty thousand. Judg. 12:6
Then Manue prayed to the Lord, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord, that the man of God, whom thou didst send, may come again, and teach us what we ought to do concerning the child, that shall be born. Judg. 13:8
He rose up, and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am. Judg. 13:11
And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself? Judg. 13:12
And let her eat nothing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: and whatsoever I have commanded her, let her fulfil and observe. Judg. 13:14
And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee? Judg. 13:17
And the angel of the Lord appeared to them no more. And forthwith Manue understood that it was an angel of the Lord, Judg. 13:21
And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands; neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come. Judg. 13:23
And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me; for she hath pleased my eyes. Judg. 14:3
Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. Judg. 14:4
And he went down, and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes. Judg. 14:7
And when he had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion. Judg. 14:9
And when the citizens of that place saw him, they brought him thirty companions to be with him. Judg. 14:11
But if you shall not be able to declare it, you shall give me thirty shirts and the same number of coats. They answered him: Put forth the riddle, that we may hear it. Judg. 14:13
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men whose garments he took away, and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry, he went up to his father's house: Judg. 14:19
And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards. Judg. 15:5
And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam. Judg. 15:8
Then the Philistines going up into the land of Juda, camped in the place which afterwards was called Lechi, that is, the Jawbone, where their army was spread abroad. Judg. 15:9
Wherefore three thousand men of Juda went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them. Judg. 15:11
And they said to him: We are come to bind thee, and to deliver thee into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them: Swear to me, and promise me that you will not kill me. Judg. 15:12
And when he had ended these words, singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone. Judg. 15:17
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. Judg. 15:19
And when the Philistines had heard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out. Judg. 16:2
And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men. Judg. 16:11
Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother's womb: If my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men. Judg. 16:17
Then seeing that he had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up, taking with them the money which they had promised. Judg. 16:18
And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him. Judg. 16:20
And the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our hands, him that destroyed our country, and killed very many. Judg. 16:24
And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison, he played before them; and they made him stand between two pillars. Judg. 16:25
And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little. Judg. 16:26
But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge. Judg. 16:28
He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude, that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life. Judg. 16:30
¤ There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michas. Judg. 17:1
So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god; so now I deliver it to thee. Judg. 17:3
And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. Judg. 17:5
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself. Judg. 17:6
¤ In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes. Judg. 18:1
Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect. Judg. 18:5
He answered them: Go in peace: the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go. Judg. 18:6
We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth. Judg. 18:10
And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim. Judg. 18:12
The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a graven and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do. Judg. 18:14
But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off. Judg. 18:17
So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god, And the priest said to them: What are you doing? Judg. 18:18
And they said to him: Hold thy peace, and put thy finger on thy mouth, and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel? Judg. 18:19
And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle, and all that was valuable, Judg. 18:21
And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them, Judg. 18:22
And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me, and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee? Judg. 18:24
And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house. Judg. 18:26
And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais, to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city they burnt with fire, Judg. 18:27
And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel. Judg. 18:31
And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me to day also, and spend the day in mirth, and to morrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house. Judg. 19:9
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini. Judg. 19:16
We have straw and hay for provender of the asses, and bread and wine for the use of myself and of thy handmaid, and of the servant that is with me: we want nothing but lodging. Judg. 19:19
And the old man answered him: Peace be with thee: I will furnish all things that are necessary: only I beseech thee, stay not in the street. Judg. 19:20
While they were making merry, and refreshing their bodies with meat and drink, after the labour of the journey, the men of that city, sons of Belial (that is, without yoke), came and beset the old man's house, and began to knock at the door, calling to the master of the house, and saying: Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may abuse him: Judg. 19:22
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door, that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold. Judg. 19:27
And when every one had seen this, they all cried out: There was never such a thing done in Israel, from the day that our fathers came up out of Egypt, until this day: give sentence, and decree in common what ought to be done. Judg. 19:30
(Nor were the children of Benjamin ignorant that the children of Israel were come up to Maspha.) And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was killed being asked, how so great a wickedness had been committed, Judg. 20:3
And behold the men of that city, in the night beset the house wherein I was, intending to kill me, and abused my wife with an incredible fury of lust, so that at last she died. Judg. 20:5
We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we may fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth. Judg. 20:10
Deliver up the men of Gabaa, that have committed this heinous crime, that they may die, and the evil may be taken away out of Israel. But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel: Judg. 20:13
And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa, Judg. 20:15
Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone's going on either side. Judg. 20:16
Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords and were prepared to fight. Judg. 20:17
And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader. Judg. 20:18
And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men. Judg. 20:21
Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle. Judg. 20:23
The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them, made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword. Judg. 20:25
Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings, Judg. 20:26
And inquired of him concerning their state. At that time the ark of the covenant of the Lord was there, Judg. 20:27
And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel, attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side. Judg. 20:34
And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men, and that drew the sword. Judg. 20:35
But the children of Benjamin, when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city. Judg. 20:36
And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword. Judg. 20:37
Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken. Judg. 20:38
And perceived, as it were, a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high: Judg. 20:40
They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces, stood bravely against them. Which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs, Judg. 20:41
And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them. Judg. 20:42
And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying. They fell and were beaten down on the east side of the city of Gabaa. Judg. 20:43
And they that were slain in the same place, were eighteen thousand men, all most valiant soldiers. Judg. 20:44
And when they that remained of Benjamin saw this, they fled into the wilderness, and made towards the rock that is called Remmon. In that flight also, as they were straggling, and going different ways; they slew of them five thousand men. And as they went farther, they still pursued them, and slew also other two thousand. Judg. 20:45
And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin, in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war. Judg. 20:46
And there remained of all the number of Benjamin only six hundred men that were able to escape, and flee to the wilderness: and they abode in the rock Remmon four months. Judg. 20:47
O Lord God of Israel, why is so great an evil come to pass in thy people, that this day one tribe should be taken away from among us? Judg. 21:3
Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain. Judg. 21:5
Therefore they said: Who is there of all the tribes of Israel, that came not up to the Lord to Maspha? And, behold, the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad were found not to have been in that army. Judg. 21:8
(At that time also when they were in Silo, no one of them was found there,) Judg. 21:9
And this is what you shall observe: Every male, and all women that have known men, you shall kill, but the virgins you shall save. Judg. 21:11
And there were found of Jabes Galaad four hundred virgins, that had not known the bed of a man, and they brought them to the camp in Silo, into the land of Chanaan. Judg. 21:12
And they sent messengers to the children of Benjamin, that were in the rock Remmon, and commanded them to receive them in peace. Judg. 21:13
And the children of Benjamin came at that time, and wives were given them of the daughters of Jabes Galaad: but they found no others, whom they might give in like manner. Judg. 21:14
And the ancients said: What shall we do with the rest, that have not received wives? for all the women in Benjamin are dead. Judg. 21:16
And we must use all care, and provide with great diligence, that one tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. Judg. 21:17
For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife. Judg. 21:18
So they took counsel, and said: Behold, there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord in Silo, which is situate on the north of the city of Bethel, and on the east side of the way, that goeth from Bethel to Sichem, and on the south of the town of Lebona. Judg. 21:19
And the children of Benjamin did as they had been commanded: and, according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession, and built up their cities, and dwelt in them. Judg. 21:23
In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself. Judg. 21:25
And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country, with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food. Ruth 1:6
But she answered them: Return, my daughters: why come ye with me? have I any more sons in my womb, that you may hope for husbands of me? Ruth 1:11
She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Ruth 1:16
The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee. Ruth 1:17
Then Noemi seeing that Ruth was steadfastly determined to go with her, would not be against it, nor persuade her any more to return to her friends: Ruth 1:18
So they went together, and came to Bethlehem. And when they were come into the city, the report was quickly spread among all: and the women said: This is that Noemi. Ruth 1:19
But she said to them: Call me not Noemi (that is, beautiful,) but call me Mara (that is, bitter), for the Almighty hath quite filled me with bitterness. Ruth 1:20
And Ruth, the Moabitess, said to her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder, that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter. Ruth 2:2
She went, therefore, and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech. Ruth 2:3
And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this ? Ruth 2:5
And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment. Ruth 2:7
She fell on her face, and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me, a woman of another country? Ruth 2:10
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore. Ruth 2:11
And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them. Ruth 2:16
She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod, and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels: Ruth 2:17
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz. Ruth 2:19
And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped. Ruth 2:21
¤ After she was returned to her mother in law, Noemi said to her: My daughter, I will seek rest for thee, and will provide that it may be well with thee. Ruth 3:1
And she went down to the barnfloor, and did all that her mother in law had bid her. Ruth 3:6
Fear not therefore, but whatsoever thou shalt say to me I will do to thee. For all the people that dwell within the gates of my city, know that thou art a virtuous woman. Ruth 3:11
So she slept at his feet till the night was going off. And she arose before men could know one another, and Booz said: Beware lest any man know that thou camest hither. Ruth 3:14
And came to her mother in law; who said to her: What hast thou done, daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. Ruth 3:16
They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech. Ruth 4:3
I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field. Ruth 4:4
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel. Ruth 4:7
And he said to the ancients, and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and Chelion's, and Mahalon's, of the hand of Noemi: Ruth 4:9
Then all the people that were in the gate, and the ancients, answered: We are witnesses: The Lord make this woman who cometh into thy house, like Rachel, and Lia, who built up the house of Israel: that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrata, and may have a famous name in Bethlehem: Ruth 4:11
And that the house may be, as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore unto Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. Ruth 4:12
And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor: that his name should be preserved in Israel. Ruth 4:14
Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb: 1 Ki. 1:6
And thus she did every year, when the time returned, that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat. 1 Ki. 1:7
And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth. 1 Ki. 1:12
But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there. 1 Ki. 1:22
And Elcana, her husband, said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfil his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him. 1 Ki. 1:23
And Anna said: I beseech thee, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord: I am that woman, who stood before thee here praying to the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:26
They that were full before, have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened. 1 Ki. 2:5
He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord's, and upon them he hath set the world. 1 Ki. 2:8
And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the pot, or into the pan: and all that the fleshhook brought up, the priest took to himself. Thus did they to all Israel that came to Silo. 1 Ki. 2:14
Also before they burnt the fat, the servant of the priest came, and said to the man that sacrificed: Give me flesh to boil for the priest: for I will not take of thee sodden flesh, but raw. 1 Ki. 2:15
And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day, according to the custom, and then take to thee as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered, and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force. 1 Ki. 2:16
Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle: 1 Ki. 2:22
Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress. 1 Ki. 2:24
Wherefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should minister in my sight, for ever. But now saith the Lord: Far be this from me: but whosoever shall glorify me, him will I glorify: but they that despise me, shall be despised. 1 Ki. 2:30
Behold the days come: and I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. 1 Ki. 2:31
However, I will not altogether take away a man of thee from my altar: but that thy eyes may faint, and thy soul be spent: and a great part of thy house shall die, when they come to man's estate. 1 Ki. 2:33
And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees: in one day they shall both of them die. 1 Ki. 2:34
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Ki. 2:36
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: 1 Ki. 3:2
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 1 Ki. 3:9
In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end. 1 Ki. 3:12
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them. 1 Ki. 3:13
Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever. 1 Ki. 3:14
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee. 1 Ki. 3:17
And all Israel, from Dan to Bersabee, knew that Samuel was a faithful prophet of the Lord. 1 Ki. 3:20
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec, 1 Ki. 4:1
And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines: and there were slain in that fight, here and there in the fields, about four thousand men. 1 Ki. 4:2
And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies. 1 Ki. 4:3
And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp. 1 Ki. 4:6
Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday, and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high Gods? these are the Gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert. 1 Ki. 4:8
And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son? 1 Ki. 4:16
And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken. 1 Ki. 4:17
And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden. 1 Ki. 4:19
And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them. 1 Ki. 4:20
And only the stump of Dagon remained in its place. For this cause neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that go into the temple, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Azotus unto this day. 1 Ki. 5:5
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city. 1 Ki. 5:6
For there was the fear of death in every city, and the hand of God was exceeding heavy. The men also that did not die, were afflicted with the emerods: and the cry of every city went up to heaven. 1 Ki. 5:12
According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. 1 Ki. 6:5
Now, therefore, take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. 1 Ki. 6:7
And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box at the side thereof: and send it away, that it may go. 1 Ki. 6:8
And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. 1 Ki. 6:9
They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had sucking calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home. 1 Ki. 6:10
And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice, and the likeness of the emerods. 1 Ki. 6:11
And the kine took the straight way, that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames. 1 Ki. 6:12
And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord. 1 Ki. 6:15
And the golden mice, according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite. 1 Ki. 6:18
And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim, days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:2
And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you. 1 Ki. 7:5
And they gathered together to Masphath, and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath. 1 Ki. 7:6
And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 7:7
And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 7:8
And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel. 1 Ki. 7:10
¤ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. 1 Ki. 8:1
And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 1 Ki. 8:6
And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Ki. 8:7
According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee. 1 Ki. 8:8
Now, therefore, hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them. 1 Ki. 8:9
Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him, 1 Ki. 8:10
And said: This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen, to run before his chariots, 1 Ki. 8:11
And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves: and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king. 1 Ki. 8:18
And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us. 1 Ki. 9:5
And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now, therefore, let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come. 1 Ki. 9:6
The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way. 1 Ki. 9:8
Now in time past in Israel, when a man went to consult God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer. 1 Ki. 9:9
As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come; because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now, therefore, go up, for to day you shall find him. 1 Ki. 9:13
And Samuel answered Saul, saying: I am the seer; go up before me to the high place, that you may eat with me to day, and I will let thee go in the morning: and tell thee all that is in thy heart. 1 Ki. 9:19
Then Samuel taking Saul, and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men. 1 Ki. 9:22
And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat; because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day. 1 Ki. 9:24
And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them: to wit, he and Samuel. 1 Ki. 9:26
And as they were going down in the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul: Speak to the servant to go before us, and pass on: but stand thou still a while, that I may tell thee the word of the Lord. 1 Ki. 9:27
¤ And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince. 1 Ki. 10:1
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is: and when thou shalt be come there into the city, thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they shall be prophesying. 1 Ki. 10:5
And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee), that thou mayst offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do. 1 Ki. 10:8
So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day. 1 Ki. 10:9
And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Ki. 10:11
And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not. 1 Ki. 10:16
And Samuel said to all the people: Surely you see him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people. And all the people cried and said: God save the king. 1 Ki. 10:24
¤ And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas, the Ammonite, came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 1 Ki. 11:1
And Naas, the Ammonite, answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel. 1 Ki. 11:2
And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee. 1 Ki. 11:3
And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes. 1 Ki. 11:5
And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: To morrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes, and they were glad. 1 Ki. 11:9
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come, that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 1 Ki. 11:11
And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men, and we will kill them. 1 Ki. 11:12
¤ And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold I have hearkened to your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. 1 Ki. 12:1
And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness. 1 Ki. 12:5
Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers: 1 Ki. 12:7
But seeing that Naas, king of the children of Ammon, was come against you, you said to me: Nay, but a king shall reign over us: whereas the Lord your God was your king. 1 Ki. 12:12
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know, and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you. 1 Ki. 12:17
And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day. 1 Ki. 12:18
And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king. 1 Ki. 12:19
And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you: and I will teach you the good and right way. 1 Ki. 12:23
And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened (for the people were distressed), they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits. 1 Ki. 13:6
And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid. 1 Ki. 13:7
And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas, 1 Ki. 13:11
But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded. 1 Ki. 13:14
And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa, in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men. 1 Ki. 13:15
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: But the Philistines encamped in Machmas. 1 Ki. 13:16
So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes, were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended. 1 Ki. 13:21
And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son. 1 Ki. 13:22
¤ Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father. 1 Ki. 14:1
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us: because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few. 1 Ki. 14:6
And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind. 1 Ki. 14:7
And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that. 1 Ki. 14:16
And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there. 1 Ki. 14:17
And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.) 1 Ki. 14:18
Then Saul, and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter. 1 Ki. 14:20
Moreover, the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan. 1 Ki. 14:21
And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men. 1 Ki. 14:22
And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven. 1 Ki. 14:23
And the men of Israel were joined together that day: and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. 1 Ki. 14:24
And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.) 1 Ki. 14:28
And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey: 1 Ki. 14:29
So they smote that day the Philistines, from Machmas to Aialon. And the people were wearied exceedingly. 1 Ki. 14:31
And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone. 1 Ki. 14:33
And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God. 1 Ki. 14:36
And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day. 1 Ki. 14:37
And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day: If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped. 1 Ki. 14:41
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. 1 Ki. 14:45
And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them. 1 Ki. 14:48
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt. 1 Ki. 15:2
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet anything that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Ki. 15:3
And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile, and good for nothing, that they destroyed. 1 Ki. 15:9
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night. 1 Ki. 15:11
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:12
And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain. 1 Ki. 15:15
But the people took of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal. 1 Ki. 15:21
And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams. 1 Ki. 15:22
But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord. 1 Ki. 15:25
But the triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent. 1 Ki. 15:29
Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God. 1 Ki. 15:30
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:35
¤ And the Lord said to Samuel: How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai, the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 1 Ki. 16:1
And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. 1 Ki. 16:7
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha. 1 Ki. 16:13
Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily. 1 Ki. 16:16
And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me. 1 Ki. 16:17
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite, of Bethlehem Juda, before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men. 1 Ki. 17:12
And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Samma: 1 Ki. 17:13
And as he talked with them, that baseborn man, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them, 1 Ki. 17:23
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:25
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Ki. 17:26
And the people answered him the same words, saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him. 1 Ki. 17:27
Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why camest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle. 1 Ki. 17:28
And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1 Ki. 17:43
This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:46
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 1 Ki. 17:47
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. 1 Ki. 17:51
Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not. 1 Ki. 17:55
And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house. 1 Ki. 18:2
And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward. 1 Ki. 18:9
And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. 1 Ki. 18:15
And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king? 1 Ki. 18:18
And it came to pass at the time when Merob, the daughter of Saul, should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel, the Molathite, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:19
And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day. 1 Ki. 18:21
And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law. 1 Ki. 18:26
And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol, his daughter, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:27
And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol, the daughter of Saul, loved him. 1 Ki. 18:28
¤ And Saul spoke to Jonathan, his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David exceedingly. 1 Ki. 19:1
And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Ki. 19:10
Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die: 1 Ki. 19:11
And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick. 1 Ki. 19:14
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain. 1 Ki. 19:15
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth. 1 Ki. 19:18
And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets? 1 Ki. 19:24
¤ But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life? 1 Ki. 20:1
And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death. 1 Ki. 20:3
And David said to Jonathan: Behold to morrow is the new moon, and I, according to custom, am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day. 1 Ki. 20:5
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem, his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all of his tribe. 1 Ki. 20:6
If he shall say: It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height. 1 Ki. 20:7
And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee. 1 Ki. 20:9
May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan, and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayst go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 1 Ki. 20:13
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified. 1 Ki. 20:26
Then Saul being angry against Jonathan, said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion, and to the confusion of thy shameless mother? 1 Ki. 20:30
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David. 1 Ki. 20:33
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 1 Ki. 20:42
The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up. 1 Ki. 21:6
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul's herdsmen. 1 Ki. 21:7
And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here there is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me. 1 Ki. 21:9
And David arose and fled that day from the face of Saul: and came to Achis, the king of Geth: 1 Ki. 21:10
Have we need of mad men, that you have brought in this fellow, to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? 1 Ki. 21:15
And all that were in distress, and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind, gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men. 1 Ki. 22:2
And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold. 1 Ki. 22:4
And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him, 1 Ki. 22:6
He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give every one of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions: 1 Ki. 22:7
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son hath entered into league with the son of Isai? There is not one of you that pitieth my case, nor that giveth me any information: because my son hath raised up my servant against me, plotting against me to this day. 1 Ki. 22:8
Then the king sent to call for Achimelech, the priest, the son of Achitob, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king. 1 Ki. 22:11
And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day. 1 Ki. 22:13
And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 22:17
And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg, the Edomite, turned, and fell upon the priests, and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod. 1 Ki. 22:18
And told him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 22:21
And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg, the Edomite, was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father's house. 1 Ki. 22:22
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved. 1 Ki. 22:23
And the men that were with David, said to him: Behold we are in fear here in Judea, how much more if we go to Ceila against the bands of the Philistines? 1 Ki. 23:3
Now at that time, when Abiathar, the son of Achimelech, fled to David, to Ceila, he came down, having an ephod with him. 1 Ki. 23:6
And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city that hath gates and bars. 1 Ki. 23:7
Now when David understood that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest: Bring hither the ephod. 1 Ki. 23:9
And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake: 1 Ki. 23:10
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down, uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. 1 Ki. 23:13
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. 1 Ki. 23:15
Go, therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. 1 Ki. 23:22
Consider, and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is hid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if he should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda. 1 Ki. 23:23
Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place the rock of division. 1 Ki. 23:28
And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayst do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul's robe. 1 Ki. 24:4
And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:6
And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say: David seeketh thy hurt? 1 Ki. 24:9
Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:10
Moreover, see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away. 1 Ki. 24:11
And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand: 1 Ki. 24:20
Swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father. 1 Ki. 24:21
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 1 Ki. 25:2
And when David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal was shearing his sheep, 1 Ki. 25:4
And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast. 1 Ki. 25:6
I have heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel. 1 Ki. 25:7
So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said. 1 Ki. 25:12
These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: Neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert. 1 Ki. 25:15
Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him. 1 Ki. 25:17
And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this fellow in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good. 1 Ki. 25:21
May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Ki. 25:22
Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord. 1 Ki. 25:26
Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord. 1 Ki. 25:27
And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel, 1 Ki. 25:30
This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid. 1 Ki. 25:31
Otherwise, as the Lord liveth, the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil, if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light, any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Ki. 25:34
And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face. 1 Ki. 25:35
And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife. 1 Ki. 25:39
And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness, 1 Ki. 26:3
He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither. 1 Ki. 26:4
The Lord be merciful unto me, and keep me that I never put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. But now take the spear which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go. 1 Ki. 26:11
David cried to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king? 1 Ki. 26:14
This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now where is the king's spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head? 1 Ki. 26:16
Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods. 1 Ki. 26:19
And Saul said: I have sinned; return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things. 1 Ki. 26:21
¤ And David said in his heart: I shall one day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands. 1 Ki. 27:1
And David arose, and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis, the son of Maoch, king of Geth. 1 Ki. 27:2
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Geth, and he sought no more after him. 1 Ki. 27:4
And David said to Achis: If I have found favour in thy sight, let a place be given me in one of the cities of this country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? 1 Ki. 27:5
Then Achis gave him Siceleg that day: for which reason Siceleg belongeth to the kings of Juda unto this day. 1 Ki. 27:6
And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines, was four months. 1 Ki. 27:7
And David saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 27:11
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men. 1 Ki. 28:1
And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor. 1 Ki. 28:7
And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death? 1 Ki. 28:9
And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored. 1 Ki. 28:14
And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said: I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do. 1 Ki. 28:15
And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day. 1 Ki. 28:20
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayst eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy journey. 1 Ki. 28:22
And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night. 1 Ki. 28:25
And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not know David who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and hath been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him, since the day that he fled over to me until this day? 1 Ki. 29:3
Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy coming in with me in the army: and I have not found any evil in thee, since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest not the lords. 1 Ki. 29:6
And David said to Achis: But what have I done, or what hast thou found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king? 1 Ki. 29:8
And Achis answering, said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: But the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle. 1 Ki. 29:9
So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel. 1 Ki. 29:11
And had taken the women captives that were in it, both little and great: and they had not killed any person, but had carried them with them, and went on their way. 1 Ki. 30:2
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives, 1 Ki. 30:3
David and the people that were with him, lifted up their voices, and wept till they had no more tears. 1 Ki. 30:4
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some, being weary, stayed there. 1 Ki. 30:9
And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? and he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him. 1 Ki. 30:15
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives. 1 Ki. 30:18
And David came to the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people, saluted them peaceably. 1 Ki. 30:21
Then all the wicked and unjust men, that had gone with David, answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife, and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way. 1 Ki. 30:22
But David said: You shall not do so, my brethren, with these things, which the Lord hath given us, who hath kept us, and hath delivered the robbers that invaded us into our hands: 1 Ki. 30:23
And no man shall hearken to you in this matter. But equal shall be the portion of him that went down to battle, and of him that abode at the baggage, and they shall divide alike. 1 Ki. 30:24
And this hath been done from that day forward, and since was made a statute and an ordinance, and as a law in Israel. 1 Ki. 30:25
To them that were in Bethel, and that were in Ramoth to the south, and to them that were in Jether. 1 Ki. 30:27
And to them that were in Aroer, and that were in Sephamoth, and that were in Esthamo, 1 Ki. 30:28
And that were in Rachal, and that were in the cities of Jerameel, and that were in the cities of Ceni, 1 Ki. 30:29
And that were in Arama, and that were in the lake Asan, and that were in Athach, 1 Ki. 30:30
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men. 1 Ki. 30:31
And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 1 Ki. 31:5
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together. 1 Ki. 31:6
And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt there. 1 Ki. 31:7
Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 1 Ki. 31:11
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg. 2 Ki. 1:1
And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me: He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain. 2 Ki. 1:4
And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead? 2 Ki. 1:5
And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him, 2 Ki. 1:6
So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to thee, my lord. 2 Ki. 1:10
Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him. 2 Ki. 1:11
And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec. 2 Ki. 1:13
And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died. 2 Ki. 1:15
(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places. 2 Ki. 1:18
And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron. 2 Ki. 2:3
And the men of Juda came, and anointed David there, to be king over the house of Juda. And it was told David that the men of Jabes Galaad had buried Saul. 2 Ki. 2:4
And the number of the days that David abode, reigning in Hebron over the house of Juda, was seven years and six months. 2 Ki. 2:11
And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David. 2 Ki. 2:17
And there were the three sons of Sarvia there, Joab, and Abisai, and Asael: now Asael was a most swift runner, like one of the roes that abide in the woods. 2 Ki. 2:18
But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still. 2 Ki. 2:23
Now while Joab and Abisai pursued after Abner, the sun went down: and they came as far as the hill of the aqueduct, that lieth over against the valley by the way of the wilderness in Gabaon. 2 Ki. 2:24
And Abner cried out to Joab, and said: Shall thy sword rage unto utter destruction? knowest thou not that it is dangerous to drive people to despair? how long dost thou defer to bid the people cease from pursuing after their brethren? 2 Ki. 2:26
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp. 2 Ki. 2:29
But the servants of David had killed of Benjamin, and of the men that were with Abner, three hundred and sixty, who all died. 2 Ki. 2:31
And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. 2 Ki. 2:32
That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee. 2 Ki. 3:10
Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee. 2 Ki. 3:12
Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you. 2 Ki. 3:17
And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin. 2 Ki. 3:19
And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him. 2 Ki. 3:20
And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David had brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace, 2 Ki. 3:21
And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 2 Ki. 3:23
Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost? 2 Ki. 3:25
And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread. 2 Ki. 3:29
And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier. 2 Ki. 3:31
And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people. 2 Ki. 3:36
And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain. 2 Ki. 3:37
The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and a great man is slain this day in Israel? 2 Ki. 3:38
But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness. 2 Ki. 3:39
¤ And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled. 2 Ki. 4:1
And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time. 2 Ki. 4:3
And Jonathan the son of Saul had a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth. 2 Ki. 4:4
The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news. 2 Ki. 4:10
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel. 2 Ki. 5:2
And the king and all the men that were with him went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land: and they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither unless thou take away the blind and the lame that say: David shall not come in hither. 2 Ki. 5:6
For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple. 2 Ki. 5:8
And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel. 2 Ki. 5:12
And these are the names of them, that were born to him in Jerusalem, Samua, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 2 Ki. 5:14
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. 2 Ki. 5:17
And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of Hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims. 2 Ki. 6:2
And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day. 2 Ki. 6:8
And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me? 2 Ki. 6:9
And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims. 2 Ki. 6:12
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram: 2 Ki. 6:13
He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins? 2 Ki. 7:2
And Nathan said to the king: Go, do all that is in thy heart: because the Lord is with thee. 2 Ki. 7:3
But it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: 2 Ki. 7:4
Whereas I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt even to this day: but have walked in a tabernacle, and in a tent. 2 Ki. 7:6
In all the places that I have gone through with all the children of Israel, did ever I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar? 2 Ki. 7:7
And I have been with thee wheresoever thou hast walked, and have slain all thy enemies from before thy face: and I have made thee a great man, like unto the name of the great ones that are on the earth. 2 Ki. 7:9
From the day that I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give thee rest from all thy enemies. And the Lord foretelleth to thee, that the Lord will make thee a house. 2 Ki. 7:11
And David went in, and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far? 2 Ki. 7:18
For thy word's sake, and according to thy own heart thou hast done all these great things, so that thou wouldst make it known to thy servant. 2 Ki. 7:21
Therefore thou art magnified, O Lord God, because there is none like to thee, neither is there any God besides thee, in all the things that we have heard with our ears. 2 Ki. 7:22
And now, O Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou hast spoken, 2 Ki. 7:25
That thy name may be magnified for ever, and it may be said: The Lord of hosts is God over Israel. And the house of thy servant David shall be established before the Lord. 2 Ki. 7:26
And now begin, and bless the house of thy servant, that it may endure for ever before thee: because thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it, and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 2 Ki. 7:29
¤ And it came to pass after this that David defeated the Philistines, and brought them down, and David took the bridle of tribute out of the hand of the Philistines, 2 Ki. 8:1
And Thou the king of Emath heard that David had defeated all the forces of Adarezer. 2 Ki. 8:9
And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued: 2 Ki. 8:11
¤ And David said: Is there any one, think you, left of the house of Saul, that I may shew kindness to him for Jonathan's sake? 2 Ki. 9:1
And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto Him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet. 2 Ki. 9:3
He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am? 2 Ki. 9:8
Then the King called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master's son. 2 Ki. 9:9
Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 2 Ki. 9:10
¤ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 10:1
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it? 2 Ki. 10:3
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men. 2 Ki. 10:6
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians: 2 Ki. 10:9
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him. 2 Ki. 10:13
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 10:14
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together. 2 Ki. 10:15
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general. 2 Ki. 10:16
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more. 2 Ki. 10:19
¤ And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 11:1
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 2 Ki. 11:2
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite. 2 Ki. 11:3
And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house? 2 Ki. 11:10
Then David said to Urias: Tarry here to day, and to morrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next. 2 Ki. 11:12
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. 2 Ki. 11:15
If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall? 2 Ki. 11:20
So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him. 2 Ki. 11:22
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against the city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it. 2 Ki. 11:25
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him. 2 Ki. 11:26
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 2 Ki. 12:4
And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death. 2 Ki. 12:5
Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die. 2 Ki. 12:14
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead? 2 Ki. 12:18
But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him He is dead. 2 Ki. 12:19
And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread. 2 Ki. 12:21
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me. 2 Ki. 12:23
¤ And it came to pass after this that Ammon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:1
And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. 2 Ki. 13:2
And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand. 2 Ki. 13:5
So Ammon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Ammon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand. 2 Ki. 13:6
Ammon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Ammon in the chamber. 2 Ki. 13:10
Then Ammon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Ammon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone. 2 Ki. 13:15
She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her: 2 Ki. 13:16
But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her. 2 Ki. 13:17
And she was clothed with a long robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her. 2 Ki. 13:18
And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons: 2 Ki. 13:23
And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him. 2 Ki. 13:25
And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Ammon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee. 2 Ki. 13:26
But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king. 2 Ki. 13:27
And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. 2 Ki. 13:28
Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments. 2 Ki. 13:31
But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Ammon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:32
But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain. 2 Ki. 13:34
¤ And Joab the son of Sarvia, understanding that the king's heart was turned to Absalom, 2 Ki. 14:1
Sent to Thecua, and fetched from thence a wise woman: and said to her: Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, and be not anointed with oil, that thou mayest be as a woman that had a long time been mourning for one dead. 2 Ki. 14:2
And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth. 2 Ki. 14:7
And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 2 Ki. 14:11
We all die, and like waters that return no more, we fall down into the earth: neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth, meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish. 2 Ki. 14:14
And the king hath hearkened to me to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of all that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 2 Ki. 14:16
Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee. 2 Ki. 14:17
And the king answering, said to the woman: Hide not from me the thing that I ask thee. And the woman said to him: Speak, my lord the king. 2 Ki. 14:18
That I should come about with this form of speech, thy servant Joab commanded this: but thou, my lord, O king, art wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to understand all things upon earth. 2 Ki. 14:20
And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant. 2 Ki. 14:22
He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire. 2 Ki. 14:30
And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me. 2 Ki. 14:32
O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them justice. 2 Ki. 15:4
And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel. 2 Ki. 15:6
Now there went with Absalom two hundred men out of Jerusalem that were called, going with simplicity of heart, and knowing nothing of the design. 2 Ki. 15:11
And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Ki. 15:14
And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over. And Ethai the Gethite passed, and all the men that were with him, and the rest of the people. 2 Ki. 15:22
And they all wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself went over the brook Cedron, and all the people marched towards the way that looketh to the desert. 2 Ki. 15:23
And Sadoc the priest also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God: and Abiathar went up, till all the people that was come out of the city had done passing. 2 Ki. 15:24
But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him. 2 Ki. 15:26
But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping. 2 Ki. 15:30
And it was told David that Achitophel also was in the conspiracy with Absalom, and David said: Infatuate, O Lord, I beseech thee, the counsel of Achitophel. 2 Ki. 15:31
And there are with them their two sons Achimaas; the son of Sadoc, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar: and you shall send by them to me every thing that you shall hear. 2 Ki. 15:36
And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king. 2 Ki. 16:4
And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so? 2 Ki. 16:10
And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him. 2 Ki. 16:11
And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee. 2 Ki. 16:21
And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone. 2 Ki. 17:2
And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good. 2 Ki. 17:7
And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people. 2 Ki. 17:8
Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he liest: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom. 2 Ki. 17:9
And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant. 2 Ki. 17:10
And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one. 2 Ki. 17:12
And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof. 2 Ki. 17:13
And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. 2 Ki. 17:14
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him. 2 Ki. 17:16
And when Absalom's servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 17:20
So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river. 2 Ki. 17:22
But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 2 Ki. 17:23
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness. 2 Ki. 17:29
And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us. 2 Ki. 18:3
And the king said to them: What seemeth good to you, that will I do. And the king stood by the gate: and all the people went forth by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands. 2 Ki. 18:4
And the people of Israel were defeated there by David's army, and a great slaughter was made that day of twenty thousand men. 2 Ki. 18:7
And the battle there was scattered over the face of all the country, and there were many more of the people whom the forest consumed, than whom the sword devoured that day. 2 Ki. 18:8
And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on. 2 Ki. 18:9
And Joab said to the man that told him: If thou sawest him, why didst thou not stab him to the ground, and I would have given thee ten sicles of silver, and a belt? 2 Ki. 18:11
And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said: I will run and tell the king, that the Lord hath done judgment for him from the hand of his enemies. 2 Ki. 18:19
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman that was on the top of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone. 2 Ki. 18:24
And Achimaas crying out, said to the king: God save thee, O king. And falling down before the king with his face to the ground, he said: Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut up the men that have lifted up their hands against the lord my king. 2 Ki. 18:28
And when he had passed, and stood still, Chusai appeared and coming up he said: I bring good tidings, my lord, the king, for the Lord hath judged for thee this day from the hand of all that have risen up against thee. 2 Ki. 18:31
And the king said to Chusai: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Chusai answering him, said: Let the enemies of my lord, the king, and all that rise against him unto evil, be as the young man is. 2 Ki. 18:32
The king therefore being much moved, went up to the high chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went he spoke in this manner: My son Absalom, Absalom my son: would to God that I might die for thee, Absalom my son, my son Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:33
¤ And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: 2 Ki. 19:1
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son. 2 Ki. 19:2
And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle. 2 Ki. 19:3
Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines. 2 Ki. 19:5
Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee. 2 Ki. 19:6
Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now. 2 Ki. 19:7
Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings. 2 Ki. 19:8
They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king's household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan, 2 Ki. 19:18
Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king. 2 Ki. 19:19
And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel? 2 Ki. 19:22
And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace. 2 Ki. 19:24
And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame. 2 Ki. 19:26
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. 2 Ki. 19:32
And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 19:33
And Berzellai 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 Ki. 19:34
Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain. 2 Ki. 19:38
And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel. 2 Ki. 19:43
In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David. 2 Ki. 20:11
And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might, not stop on his account. 2 Ki. 20:12
And they came, and besieged him in Abela, and in Bethmaacha, and they cast up works round the city, and the city was besieged: and all the people that were with Joab, laboured to throw down the walls. 2 Ki. 20:15
And she again said: A saying was used in the old proverb: They that inquire, let them inquire in Abela: and so they made an end. 2 Ki. 20:18
Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest to destroy the city, and to overthrow a mother in Israel? Why wilt thou throw down the inheritance of the Lord? 2 Ki. 20:19
And Joab answering said: God forbid, God forbid that I should, I do not throw down, nor destroy. 2 Ki. 20:20
David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord? 2 Ki. 21:3
And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you? 2 Ki. 21:4
And they said to the king: The man that crushed us and oppressed us unjustly, we must destroy in such manner that there be not so much as one left of his stock in all the coasts of Israel. 2 Ki. 21:5
Let seven men of his children be delivered unto us, that we may crucify them to the Lord in Gabaa of Saul, once the chosen of the Lord. And the king said: I will give them. 2 Ki. 21:6
And the king spared Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord, that had been between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. 2 Ki. 21:7
So the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni, and Miphiboseth: and the five sons of Michol the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Hadriel the son of Berzellai, that was of Molathi: 2 Ki. 21:8
And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified, 2 Ki. 21:13
And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things. 2 Ki. 21:14
A fourth battle was in Geth: where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha. 2 Ki. 21:20
¤ And David spoke to the Lord the words of this canticle, in the day that the Lord delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul, 2 Ki. 22:1
He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 2 Ki. 22:18
God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him. 2 Ki. 22:31
I will consume them and break them in pieces, so that they shall not rise: they shall fall under my feet. 2 Ki. 22:39
Thou hast girded me with strength to battle: thou hast made them that resisted me to bow under me. 2 Ki. 22:40
My enemies thou hast made to turn their back to me: them that hated me, and I shall destroy them. 2 Ki. 22:41
Who bringest me forth from my enemies, and liftest me up from them that resist me: from the wicked man thou shalt deliver me. 2 Ki. 22:49
Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up. 2 Ki. 23:5
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle. 2 Ki. 23:9
And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain. 2 Ki. 23:10
And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate. 2 Ki. 23:15
And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord, 2 Ki. 23:16
Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men. 2 Ki. 23:17
And the king said to Joab the general of his army: Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, and number ye the people that I may know the number of them. 2 Ki. 24:2
And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king, and there were found of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword: and of Juda five hundred thousand fighting men. 2 Ki. 24:9
Go, and say to David: Thus saith the Lord: I give thee thy choice of three things, choose one of them which thou wilt, that I may do it to thee. 2 Ki. 24:12
And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 2 Ki. 24:13
And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men. 2 Ki. 24:14
And when the angel of the Lord had stretched out his hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord had pity on the affliction, and said to the angel that slew the people: It is enough: now hold thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite. 2 Ki. 24:16
And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house. 2 Ki. 24:17
And Gad came to David that day, and said: Go up, and build an altar to the Lord in the thrashingfloor of Areuna the Jebusite. 2 Ki. 24:18
And going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease. 2 Ki. 24:21
And Nathan said to Bethsabee, the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias, the son of Haggith, reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not? 3 Ki. 1:11
And now, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee. 3 Ki. 1:20
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I, and my son, Solomon, shall be counted offenders. 3 Ki. 1:21
And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end. Joab also, hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar? 3 Ki. 1:41
And Sadoc, the priest, and Nathan, the prophet, have anointed him king, in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard. 3 Ki. 1:45
And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword. 3 Ki. 1:51
¤ And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying: 3 Ki. 2:1
And keep the charge of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and observe his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses: that thou mayst understand all thou dost, and whithersoever thou shalt turn thyself: 3 Ki. 2:3
That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel. 3 Ki. 2:4
Thou knowest also what Joab, the son of Sarvia, hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 3 Ki. 2:5
And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three. 3 Ki. 2:11
Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord. 3 Ki. 2:15
So Solomon cast out Abiathar from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Silo. 3 Ki. 2:27

For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head. 3 Ki. 2:37
And it came to pass after three years, that the servants of Semei ran away to Achis, the son of Maacha, the king of Geth: and it was told Semei that his servants were gone to Geth. 3 Ki. 2:39
And it was told Solomon, that Semei had gone from Jerusalem to Geth, and was come back. 3 Ki. 2:41
And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any where, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good. 3 Ki. 2:42
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the Lord, and the commandment that I laid upon thee? 3 Ki. 2:43
But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day. 3 Ki. 3:2
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts, did Solomon offer upon that altar, in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 3:4
And the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee. 3 Ki. 3:5
And the word was pleasing to the Lord, that Solomon had asked such a thing. 3 Ki. 3:10
Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, in so much that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee. 3 Ki. 3:12
Yea, and the things also which thou didst not ask, I have given thee; to wit, riches and glory: so that no one hath been like thee among the kings in all days heretofore. 3 Ki. 3:13
And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants. 3 Ki. 3:15
Then there came two women that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him. 3 Ki. 3:16

Azarias, the son of Nathan, over them that were about the king: Zabud, the son of Nathan, the priest, the king's friend: 3 Ki. 4:5
Gaber, the son of Uri, in the land of Galaad, in the land of Sehon, the king of the Amorrhites, and of Og, the king of Basan, over all that were in that land. 3 Ki. 4:19
And God gave to Solomon wisdom, and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, as the sand that is on the sea shore. 3 Ki. 4:29
And he treated about trees, from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 3 Ki. 4:33
¤ And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend. 3 Ki. 5:1
Thou knowest the will of David, my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. 3 Ki. 5:3
Give orders, therefore, that thy servants cut me down cedar trees, out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask: for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians. 3 Ki. 5:6
And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month, by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy. 3 Ki. 5:14
Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand and three hundred, that ruled over the people, and them that did the work. 3 Ki. 5:16
And the king commanded that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them: 3 Ki. 5:17
The floor that was underneath was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third floor was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple. 3 Ki. 6:6
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones, hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building. 3 Ki. 6:7
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold. 3 Ki. 6:22
One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing. 3 Ki. 6:24
That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub. 3 Ki. 6:26
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter. 3 Ki. 7:18
And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work, in the porch of four cubits. 3 Ki. 7:19
The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round. 3 Ki. 7:31
And the four undersetters, that were at every corner of each base, were of the base itself, cast and joined together. 3 Ki. 7:34
And in the top of the base, there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself. 3 Ki. 7:35
He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass, and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about. 3 Ki. 7:36
The two pillars and the two cords of the chapiters, upon the chapiters of the pillars: and the two networks, to cover the two cords, that were upon the top of the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:41
And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the basins. All the vessels that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of fine brass. 3 Ki. 7:45
And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David, his father, had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord. 3 Ki. 7:51
¤ Then all the ancients of Israel, with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel, were assembled to king Solomon, in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion. 3 Ki. 8:1
And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them. 3 Ki. 8:4
And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him, went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen, that could not be counted or numbered. 3 Ki. 8:5
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord, 3 Ki. 8:10
Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud. 3 Ki. 8:12
Since the day that I brought my people Israel, out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel. 3 Ki. 8:16
Nevertheless, thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name. 3 Ki. 8:19
And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that have walked before thee with all their heart: 3 Ki. 8:23
Now, therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David, my father, what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight. 3 Ki. 8:25
Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built? 3 Ki. 8:27
That thy eyes may be open upon this house, night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayst hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth, in this place to thee: 3 Ki. 8:29
That thou mayst hearken to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy. 3 Ki. 8:30
That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers. 3 Ki. 8:40
Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built. 3 Ki. 8:43
But if they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry, deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies, far or near; 3 Ki. 8:46
And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them. 3 Ki. 8:50
That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee. 3 Ki. 8:52
And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven. 3 Ki. 8:54
Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses. 3 Ki. 8:56
But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. 3 Ki. 8:58
And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel, day by day: 3 Ki. 8:59
That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him. 3 Ki. 8:60
Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day. 3 Ki. 8:61
In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings. 3 Ki. 8:64
And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days. 3 Ki. 8:65
And on the eighth day, he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for all the good things that the Lord had done for David, his servant, and for Israel, his people. 3 Ki. 8:66
¤ And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he desired and was pleased to do, 3 Ki. 9:1
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 9:2
And if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances, and my judgments, 3 Ki. 9:4
And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house? 3 Ki. 9:8
And when twenty years were ended, after Solomon had built the two houses; that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, 3 Ki. 9:10
Pharao, the king of Egypt, came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife. 3 Ki. 9:16
And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 3 Ki. 9:19
All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel: 3 Ki. 9:20
Their children, that were left in the land; to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day. 3 Ki. 9:21
And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 3 Ki. 9:27
And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart. 3 Ki. 10:2
Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works exceed the fame which I heard. 3 Ki. 10:7
And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered her of himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country, with her servants. 3 Ki. 10:13
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold: 3 Ki. 10:14
Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country. 3 Ki. 10:15
And Solomon did that which was not pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:6
Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos, the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch, the idol of the children of Ammon. 3 Ki. 11:7
And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods. 3 Ki. 11:8
And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him. 3 Ki. 11:10
For when David was in Edom, and Joab, the general of the army, was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom, 3 Ki. 11:15
And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife the own sister of his wife, Taphnes, the queen. 3 Ki. 11:19
And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country. 3 Ki. 11:21
And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing; yet I beseech thee to let me go. 3 Ki. 11:22
So it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias, the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the field. 3 Ki. 11:29
And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant, David, before me always in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there. 3 Ki. 11:36
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel. 3 Ki. 11:37
If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David, my servant, did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee: 3 Ki. 11:38
And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon. 3 Ki. 11:41
And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years. 3 Ki. 11:42
King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people? 3 Ki. 12:6
But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had been brought up with him, and stood before him. 3 Ki. 12:8
And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke, which thy father put upon us, lighter? 3 Ki. 12:9
And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father. 3 Ki. 12:10
Then the people, seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel: now, David, look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings. 3 Ki. 12:16
But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them. 3 Ki. 12:17
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only. 3 Ki. 12:20
And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made. 3 Ki. 12:32
And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it, shall be poured out. 3 Ki. 13:3
And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before. 3 Ki. 13:6
For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest. 3 Ki. 13:9
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel. 3 Ki. 13:10
Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him, and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 3 Ki. 13:11
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am. 3 Ki. 13:14
He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him, 3 Ki. 13:18
And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back: 3 Ki. 13:20
And hast returned, and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers. 3 Ki. 13:22
And behold, men passing by, saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt. 3 Ki. 13:25
And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him. 3 Ki. 13:26
For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria. 3 Ki. 13:32
¤ At that time Abia, the son of Jeroboam, fell sick. 3 Ki. 14:1
And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias, the prophet is, who told me that I should reign over this people. 3 Ki. 14:2
And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son, that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman, 3 Ki. 14:5
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight: 3 Ki. 14:8
But hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast made thee strange gods, and molten gods, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: 3 Ki. 14:9
Therefore, behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean. 3 Ki. 14:10
Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it. 3 Ki. 14:11
And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:20
And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed. 3 Ki. 14:22
And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king's house. 3 Ki. 14:27
Now the rest of the acts of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda. 3 Ki. 14:29
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite. 3 Ki. 15:5
And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 15:7
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father: 3 Ki. 15:11
And Baasa, king of Israel, went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in of the side of Asa, king of Juda. 3 Ki. 15:17
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying: 3 Ki. 15:18
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa, king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 3 Ki. 15:19
Benadad, hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth; that is all the land of Nephthali. 3 Ki. 15:20
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 3 Ki. 15:23
But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 15:31
Him that dieth of Baasa, in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour. 3 Ki. 16:4
But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:5
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet. 3 Ki. 16:7
And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa, in the hand of Jehu, the prophet, 3 Ki. 16:12
But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:14
And when they heard that Zambri had rebelled, and slain the king, all Israel made Amri their king, who was general over Israel in the camp that day. 3 Ki. 16:16
And Zambri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace, and burnt himself with the king's house: and he died 3 Ki. 16:18
But the people that were with Amri, prevailed over the people that followed Thebni, the son of Gineth: and Thebni died, and Amri reigned. 3 Ki. 16:22
And Amri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and acted wickedly above all that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:25
And Achab, the son of Amri, did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:30
And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:33
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 3 Ki. 17:10
And she answered: As the Lord thy God liveth, I have no bread, but only a handful of meal in a pot, and a little oil in a cruise: behold I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it, for me and my son, that we may eat it and die. 3 Ki. 17:12
She went, and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day 3 Ki. 17:15
And it came to pass after this, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and the sickness was very grievous, so that there was no breath left in him. 3 Ki. 17:17
And she said to Elias: What have I to do with thee, thou man of God? art thou come to me, that my iniquities should be remembered, and that thou shouldst kill my son? 3 Ki. 17:18
And the woman said to Elias: Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and the word of the Lord in thy mouth is true. 3 Ki. 17:24
¤ After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elias, in the third year, saying: Go, and shew thyself to Achab, that I may give rain upon the face of the earth. 3 Ki. 18:1
And Achab said to Abdias: Go into the land unto all fountains of waters, and into all valleys, to see if we can find grass, and save the horses and mules, that the beasts may not utterly perish. 3 Ki. 18:5
And they divided the countries between them, that they might go round about them: Achab went one way, and Abdias another way by himself. 3 Ki. 18:6
And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me, thy servant, into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me? 3 Ki. 18:9
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy. 3 Ki. 18:12
And now thou sayest: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me. 3 Ki. 18:14
And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel? 3 Ki. 18:17
Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord: and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God. And all the people answering, said: A very good proposal. 3 Ki. 18:24
And they took the bullock, which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made. 3 Ki. 18:26
Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down: 3 Ki. 18:30
And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias, the prophet, came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things. 3 Ki. 18:36
Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again. 3 Ki. 18:37
Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 3 Ki. 18:38
And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up, went away to Jezrahel: 3 Ki. 18:45
¤ And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 3 Ki. 19:1
And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. 3 Ki. 19:4
And he arose, and ate and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb. 3 Ki. 19:8
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus. 3 Ki. 19:17
And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him, kissing the hands. 3 Ki. 19:18
And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus, the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with, twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him. 3 Ki. 19:19
And he forthwith left the oxen, and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee. 3 Ki. 19:20
And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all that I have. 3 Ki. 20:4
To morrow, therefore, at this same hour, I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away. 3 Ki. 20:6
And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay. 3 Ki. 20:7
Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord, the king: All that thou didst send for to me, thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. 3 Ki. 20:9
And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again, and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me. 3 Ki. 20:10
And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. 3 Ki. 20:12
And behold a prophet coming to Achab, king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude? behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayst know that I am the Lord. 3 Ki. 20:13
And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad, king of Syria, fled away on horseback with his horsemen. 3 Ki. 20:20
But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them. 3 Ki. 20:23
And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses, according to the former horses, and chariots, according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel, and did so. 3 Ki. 20:25
(And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.) 3 Ki. 20:28
And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing, went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber. 3 Ki. 20:30
And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful; so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives. 3 Ki. 20:31
And whilst I, in a hurry, turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed. 3 Ki. 20:40
But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets. 3 Ki. 20:41
¤ And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard, near the palace of Achab, king of Samaria. 3 Ki. 21:1
And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. 3 Ki. 21:2
And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth, the Jezrahelite, had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. 3 Ki. 21:4
And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? 3 Ki. 21:5
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth. 3 Ki. 21:8
And suborn two men, sons of Belial, against him, and let them bear false witness; that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die. 3 Ki. 21:10
And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them; 3 Ki. 21:11
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise, and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 3 Ki. 21:15
And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it. 3 Ki. 21:16
Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel. 3 Ki. 21:21
And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. 3 Ki. 21:26
(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?) 3 Ki. 22:3
And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him? 3 Ki. 22:7
And the messenger that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one mouth declare good things to the king: let thy word, therefore, be like to theirs, and speak that which is good. 3 Ki. 22:13
But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak. 3 Ki. 22:14
But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true, in the name of the Lord. 3 Ki. 22:16
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace. 3 Ki. 22:17
(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?) 3 Ki. 22:18
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab, king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise. 3 Ki. 22:20
Now, therefore, behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee. 3 Ki. 22:23
So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault, they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out. 3 Ki. 22:32
And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of Israel, and they turned away from him. 3 Ki. 22:33
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. 3 Ki. 22:35
But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 22:39
And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places. 3 Ki. 22:43
He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. 3 Ki. 22:53
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron? 4 Ki. 1:3
But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel, that thou sendest to Beelzebub, the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but thou shalt surely die. 4 Ki. 1:6
And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, he said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down. 4 Ki. 1:9
And Elias answering, said to the captain of fifty: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume thee, and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven and consumed him, and the fifty that were with him. 4 Ki. 1:10
Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees before Elias, and besought him, and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me. 4 Ki. 1:13
Behold fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two first captains of fifty men, and the fifties that were with them: but now I beseech thee to spare my life. 4 Ki. 1:14
¤ And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elias, into heaven, by a whirlwind, that Elias and Eliseus were going from Galgal. 4 Ki. 2:1
The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace. 4 Ki. 2:3
The sons of the prophets, that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace. 4 Ki. 2:5
And when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee, that in me may be thy double spirit. 4 Ki. 2:9
And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood on the bank of the Jordan; 4 Ki. 2:13
And he struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and Eliseus passed over. 4 Ki. 2:14
And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants, fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest, perhaps, the spirit of the Lord, hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said: Do not send. 4 Ki. 2:16
And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel. 4 Ki. 3:6
And he sent to Josaphat; king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me: come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people are thy people: and my horses, thy horses. 4 Ki. 3:7
So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom, went, and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them. 4 Ki. 3:9
And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus, the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias. 4 Ki. 3:11
And it came to pass, in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. 4 Ki. 3:20
And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders. 4 Ki. 3:21
And they destroyed the cities: And they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed. 4 Ki. 3:25
And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not. 4 Ki. 3:26
Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country. 4 Ki. 3:27
¤ Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets, cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him. 4 Ki. 4:1
And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread: and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread. 4 Ki. 4:8
And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us. 4 Ki. 4:9
Let us, therefore, make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us he may abide there. 4 Ki. 4:10
He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. 4 Ki. 4:13
And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old. 4 Ki. 4:14
And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour that Eliseus had said. 4 Ki. 4:17
She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 4 Ki. 4:22
And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going: And do that which I bid thee. 4 Ki. 4:24
So she went forward, and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel: and when the man of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi, his servant: Behold that Sunamitess. 4 Ki. 4:25
But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot. 4 Ki. 4:41
And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. 4 Ki. 4:42
And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left. 4 Ki. 4:43
And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath. 4 Ki. 5:3
And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman, my servant, that thou mayst heal him of his leprosy. 4 Ki. 5:6
And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me. 4 Ki. 5:7
And when Eliseus, the man of God, had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel. 4 Ki. 5:8
Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation, 4 Ki. 5:12
But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant; when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand: if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me, thy servant, for this thing. 4 Ki. 5:18
But Giezi, the servant of the man of God, said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take something of him. 4 Ki. 5:20
And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him. 4 Ki. 5:23
Let us go as far as the Jordan, and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go. 4 Ki. 6:2
And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed. 4 Ki. 6:5
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush. 4 Ki. 6:9
And the heart of the king of Syria, was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel? 4 Ki. 6:11
And one of his servants said: No one, my lord, O king: but Eliseus, the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber. 4 Ki. 6:12
And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send and take him. And they told him: saying: Behold he is in Dothan. 4 Ki. 6:13
And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus. 4 Ki. 6:17
And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria. 4 Ki. 6:20
And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 4 Ki. 6:22
And it came to pass, after these things, that Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. 4 Ki. 6:24
This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. 4 Ki. 6:28
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son, that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son. 4 Ki. 6:29
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him. 4 Ki. 6:32
Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:2
And he arose in the night, and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city. 4 Ki. 7:12
And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed), and let us send and see. 4 Ki. 7:13
And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him. 4 Ki. 7:17
When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:19
And the king talked with Giezi, the servant of the man of God, saying: Tell me all the great things that Eliseus hath done. 4 Ki. 8:4
And the king asked the woman: and she told him. And the king appointed her an eunuch, saying: Restore her all that is hers, and all the revenues of the lands, from the day that she left the land to this present. 4 Ki. 8:6
And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: but the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 4 Ki. 8:10
And Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities thou wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women. 4 Ki. 8:12
And Hazael said: But what am I, thy servant, a dog, that I should do this great thing? And Eliseus said: The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king of Syria. 4 Ki. 8:13
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. 4 Ki. 8:18
And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents. 4 Ki. 8:21
But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 8:23
And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab, him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel. 4 Ki. 9:8
The watchman therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well? 4 Ki. 9:17
And Jehu said to Badacer, his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite: for I remember, when I and thou, sitting in a chariot, followed Achab, this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying: 4 Ki. 9:25
At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master? 4 Ki. 9:31
And when he was come in to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her; because she is a king's daughter. 4 Ki. 9:34
And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel; so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel? 4 Ki. 9:37
¤ And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab's children, saying: 4 Ki. 10:1
As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master's sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour, 4 Ki. 10:2
Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for the house of your master. 4 Ki. 10:3
Therefore they that were over the king's house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants: whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do; we will not make us any king: do thou all that pleaseth thee. 4 Ki. 10:5
See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias. 4 Ki. 10:10

And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab, in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Elias. 4 Ki. 10:17
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting, shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 4 Ki. 10:19
And he sent into all the borders of Israel; and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other. 4 Ki. 10:21

And Jehu, and Jonadab, the son of Rechab, went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only. 4 Ki. 10:23
And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go, shall answer life for life. 4 Ki. 10:24

But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 10:34
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years. 4 Ki. 10:36

And the centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest, had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada, the priest. 4 Ki. 11:9
But Joiada commanded the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 11:15

And Joas said to the priests: all the money of the sanctified things, which is brought into the temple of the Lord by those that pass, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which of their own accord, and of their own free heart, they bring into the temple of the Lord: 4 Ki. 12:4

And Joiada, the high priest, took a chest, and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord; and the priests that kept the doors, put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 12:9
And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king's scribe, and the high priest, came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 12:10
And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons, that wrought in the house of the Lord, 4 Ki. 12:11
And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house. 4 Ki. 12:12
But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord: 4 Ki. 12:13
For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired. 4 Ki. 12:14
And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully. 4 Ki. 12:15

For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was exceedingly bitter, and that they were consumed even to them that were shut up in prison, and the lowest persons, and that there was no one to help Israel. 4 Ki. 14:26

Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded, they would not hear, nor do. 4 Ki. 18:12
Then Ezechias, king of Juda, sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians, to Lachis, saying: I have offended, depart from me: and all that thou shalt put upon me, I will bear.

And Rabsaces answered them, saying: Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words, and not rather to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you? 4 Ki. 18:27
Do not hearken to Ezechias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me: and every man of you shall eat of his own vineyard, and of his own fig tree: and you shall drink water of your own cisterns, 4 Ki. 18:31
Who are they among all the gods of the nations that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand? 4 Ki. 18:35

Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruins: 4 Ki. 19:25
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which shall be saved out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this. 4 Ki. 19:31

And Ezechias said: It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten lines: and I do not desire that this be done, but let it return back ten degrees. 4 Ki. 20:10
At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick. 4 Ki. 20:12
And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold, and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Ezechias shewed them not. 4 Ki. 20:13
And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 4 Ki. 20:15
Behold the days shall come, that all that is in thy house, and that thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 4 Ki. 20:17
And of thy sons also that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, they shall take away, and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon. 4 Ki. 20:18
And I will no more make the feet of Israel to be moved out of the land, which I gave to their fathers: only if they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, according to the law which my servant Moses commanded them. 4 Ki. 21:8
Because Manasses, king of Juda, hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings: 4 Ki. 21:11
Therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle. 4 Ki. 21:12

Go to Helcias, the high priest, that the money may be put together which is brought into the temple of the Lord, which the doorkeepers of the temple have gathered of the people. 4 Ki. 22:4
And let it be given to the workmen by the overseers of the house of the Lord: and let them distribute it to those that work in the temple of the Lord, to repair the temple: 4 Ki. 22:5

And Saphan, the scribe, came to the king, and brought him word again concerning that which he had commanded, and said: Thy servants have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the Lord: and they have given it to be distributed to the workmen, by the overseers of the works of the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 22:9
Go and consult the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Juda, concerning the words of this book which is found: for the great wrath of the Lord is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of this book, to do all that is written for us. 4 Ki. 22:13

Therefore I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy sepulchre in peace; that thy eyes may not see all the evils which I will bring upon this place. 4 Ki. 22:20
And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant. 4 Ki. 23:3
And the king commanded Helcias, the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem, in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel. 4 Ki. 23:4
And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven. 4 Ki. 23:5
And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue, governor of the city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city. 4 Ki. 23:8

The high places also that were at Jerusalem, on the right side of the Mount of Offence, which Solomon, king of Israel, had built to Astaroth, the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom, the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled. 4 Ki. 23:13
Moreover, the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place, he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove. 4 Ki. 23:15

And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went. 1 Par. 18:6
Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba, 1 Par. 18:9
He sent Adoram his son to king David to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer. 1 Par. 18:10
And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went. 1 Par. 18:13
¤ Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. 1 Par. 19:1
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land. 1 Par. 19:3
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba. 1 Par. 19:6

Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians, 1 Par. 19:10
Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight. 1 Par. 19:13
So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight. 1 Par. 19:14
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem. 1 Par. 19:15
But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader. 1 Par. 19:16
¤ And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it. 1 Par. 20:1
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with all his people to Jerusalem. 1 Par. 20:3
And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them that I may know it. 1 Par. 21:2
And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men. 1 Par. 21:5
And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel. 1 Par. 21:7
And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Par. 21:15
And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed. 1 Par. 21:17
Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor. 1 Par. 21:20
And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor, that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people. 1 Par. 21:22
And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust, and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it all willingly. 1 Par. 21:23
And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there. 1 Par. 21:28
But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert, and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of Gabaon. 1 Par. 21:29
The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days. 1 Par. 22:9
The Lord also give thee wisdom and understanding, that thou mayest be able to rule Israel, and to keep the law of the Lord thy God. 1 Par. 22:12
Saying: You see, that the Lord your God is with you, and hath given you rest round about, and hath delivered all your enemies into your hands, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people. 1 Par. 22:18
Give therefore your hearts and your souls, to seek the Lord your God and arise, and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house, which is built to the name of the Lord. 1 Par. 22:19
These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward. 1 Par. 23:24
And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord. 1 Par. 23:32
And David distributed them, that is, Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry. 1 Par. 24:3
And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families: and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses. 1 Par. 24:4
And the number of them with their brethren, that taught the song of the Lord, all the teachers, were two hundred and eighty-eight. 1 Par. 25:7
And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.) 1 Par. 26:10
Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house of the Lord. 1 Par. 26:12
And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients. 1 Par. 26:15
And all these things that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Cis, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Sarvia had sanctified: and whosoever had sanctified those things, they were under the hand of Selemith and his brethren. 1 Par. 26:28
¤ Now the children of Israel according to their number, the heads of families, captains of thousands and of hundreds, and officers, that served the king according to their companies, who came in and went out every month in the year, under every chief were four and twenty thousand. 1 Par. 27:1
This is that Banaias the most valiant among the thirty, and above the thirty. And Amizabad his son commanded his company. 1 Par. 27:6
But David would not number them from twenty years old and under: because the lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars of heaven. 1 Par. 27:23
Joab the son of Sarvia began to number, but he finished not: because upon this there fell wrath upon Israel: and therefore the number of them that were numbered, was not registered in the chronicles of king David. 1 Par. 27:24
And over the herds that fed in Saron, was Setrai a Saronite: and over the oxen in the valleys, Saphat the son of Adli: 1 Par. 27:29

Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great? 2 Par. 1:10
And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee king, 2 Par. 1:11

So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel. 2 Par. 2:4
Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him. 2 Par. 2:6
Send me therefore a skilful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 2 Par. 2:7
Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skilful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants, 2 Par. 2:8

So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud. 2 Par. 5:13
¤ Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud. 2 Par. 6:1

But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel. 2 Par. 6:6
He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 2 Par. 6:14
Who hast performed to thy servant David my father all that thou hast promised him: and hast accomplished in fact, what thou hast spoken with thy mouth, as also the present time proveth. 2 Par. 6:15

Is it credible then that God should dwell with men on the earth? If heaven and the heavens of heavens do not contain thee, how much less this house, which I have built? 2 Par. 6:18
But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God: and mayest hear the prayers which thy servant poureth out before thee. 2 Par. 6:19
That thou mayest open thy eyes upon this house day and night, upon the place wherein thou hast promised that thy name should be called upon, 2 Par. 6:20

And if they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them up to their enemies, and they lead them away captive to a land either afar off, or near at hand, 2 Par. 6:36
Then hear thou from heaven, that is, from thy firm dwelling place, their prayers, and do judgment, and forgive thy people, although they have sinned: 2 Par. 6:39

Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 2 Par. 8:6
All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel: 2 Par. 8:7

And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart. 2 Par. 9:1
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her. 2 Par. 9:2
I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues. 2 Par. 9:6
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants. 2 Par. 9:12
And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold: 2 Par. 9:13
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart. 2 Par. 9:23
Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee. 2 Par. 10:4
He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people? 2 Par. 10:6
But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train. 2 Par. 10:8
But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father. 2 Par. 10:10
And he condescended not to the people's requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat. 2 Par. 10:15
But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda. 2 Par. 10:17

And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac. 2 Par. 12:5
And when the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac. 2 Par. 12:7
But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth. 2 Par. 12:8

And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils, 2 Par. 14:13
At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth. 2 Par. 15:5
And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him. 2 Par. 15:9

And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul. 2 Par. 15:12

¤ And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa. 2 Par. 16:1
There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me. 2 Par. 16:3
Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha. 2 Par. 16:6
At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand. 2 Par. 16:7
And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time. 2 Par. 16:10
And the fear of the Lord came upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Juda, and they durst not make war against Josaphat. 2 Par. 17:10
And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad. 2 Par. 18:2
And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him? 2 Par. 18:6
And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success. 2 Par. 18:12
And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak. 2 Par. 18:13
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil? 2 Par. 18:17
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise: 2 Par. 18:19
And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself. 2 Par. 18:24
For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the king of Israel, they left him. 2 Par. 18:32
And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded. 2 Par. 18:33
And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset. 2 Par. 18:34
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer met him, and said to him: Thou helpest the ungodly, and thou art joined in friendship with them that hate the Lord, and therefore thou didst deserve indeed the wrath of the Lord: 2 Par. 19:2
Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren, that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications: shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin. 2 Par. 19:10
And he said: Attend ye, all Juda, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, and thou king Josaphat: Thus saith the Lord to you: Fear ye not, and be not dismayed at this multitude: for the battle is not yours, but God's. 2 Par. 20:15
It shall not be you that shall fight, but only stand with confidence, and you shall see the help of the Lord over you, O Juda, and Jerusalem: fear ye not, nor be you dismayed: to morrow you shall go out against them, and the Lord will be with you. 2 Par. 20:17
And when they began to sing praises, the Lord turned their ambushments upon themselves, that is to say, of the children of Ammon, and of Moab, and of mount Seir, who were come out to fight against Juda, and they were slain. 2 Par. 20:22
And when Juda came to the watch tower, that looketh toward the desert, they saw afar off all the country, for a great space, full of dead bodies, and that no one was left that could escape death. 2 Par. 20:24
Then Josaphat came, and all the people with him to take away the spoils of the dead, and they found among the dead bodies, stuff of various kinds, and garments, and most precious vessels: and they took them for themselves, insomuch that they could not carry all, nor in three days take away the spoils, the booty was so great. 2 Par. 20:25
And on the fourth day they were assembled in the valley of Blessing: for there they blessed the Lord, and therefore they called that place the valley of Blessing until this day. 2 Par. 20:26
And the fear of the Lord fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. 2 Par. 20:29
And he walked in the way of his father Asa and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord. 2 Par. 20:32
However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers. 2 Par. 21:10
And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest. 2 Par. 21:17
¤ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned. 2 Par. 22:1
For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab. 2 Par. 22:7
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias. 2 Par. 22:9
For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up, and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram. 2 Par. 22:10
But Josabeth the king's daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him. 2 Par. 22:11
And this is the thing that you shall do: 2 Par. 23:4
A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king's house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:5
And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:6
So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week. 2 Par. 23:8
And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason. 2 Par. 23:13
And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 23:14
And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the lord. 2 Par. 23:16
He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in. 2 Par. 23:19
And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest. 2 Par. 24:2
And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony? 2 Par. 24:6
For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord. 2 Par. 24:7
And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert. 2 Par. 24:9
And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going in they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled. 2 Par. 24:10
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money. 2 Par. 24:11
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it. 2 Par. 24:22
Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess. 2 Par. 24:26
And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. 2 Par. 25:3
Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield. 2 Par. 25:5
And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight. 2 Par. 25:8
Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country. 2 Par. 25:10
But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil. 2 Par. 25:13
Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand? 2 Par. 25:15
And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king's counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel. 2 Par. 25:16
But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle. 2 Par. 25:18
Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee. 2 Par. 25:19
Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord's will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom. 2 Par. 25:20
And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria. 2 Par. 25:24
He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers. 2 Par. 26:2

Because a great number was not sanctified: and therefore the Levites immolated the phase for them that came not in time to be sanctified to the Lord. 2 Par. 30:17
For a great part of the people from Ephraim, and Manasses, and Issachar, and Zabulon, that had not been sanctified, ate the phase otherwise than it is written: and Ezechias prayed for them, saying: The Lord who is good will shew mercy, 2 Par. 30:18

He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind, 2 Par. 32:3
He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and find abundance of water. 2 Par. 32:4
He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields: 2 Par. 32:5

After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying: 2 Par. 32:9

This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. 2 Par. 32:30
But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart. 2 Par. 32:31
And after that he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God: and did penance exceedingly before the God of his fathers. 2 Par. 33:12
And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God. 2 Par. 33:13

Now when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Helcias the priest found the book of the law of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 2 Par. 34:14

And Helcias and they that were sent with him by the king, went to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellum the son of Thecuath, the son of Hasra keeper of the wardrobe: who dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second part: and they spoke to her the words above mentioned. 2 Par. 34:22

Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring evils upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, and all the curses that are written in this book which they read before the king of Juda. 2 Par. 34:24
But as to the king of Juda that sent you to beseech the Lord, thus shall you say to him: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Because thou hast heard the words of this book, 2 Par. 34:26
And thy heart was softened, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of God for the things that are spoken against this place, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and reverencing my face, hast rent thy garments, and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord. 2 Par. 34:27
For now I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be brought to thy tomb in peace: and thy eyes shall not see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and the inhabitants thereof. They therefore reported to the king all that she had said. 2 Par. 34:28
And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read. 2 Par. 34:31
And he adjured all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to do the same: and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of the Lord the God of their fathers. 2 Par. 34:32

And being sanctified kill the phase, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the words which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses. 2 Par. 35:6
And Josias gave to all the people that were found there in the solemnity of the phase, of lambs and of kids of the flocks, and of other small cattle thirty thousand, and of oxen three thousand, all these were of the king's substance. 2 Par. 35:7
And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people. 2 Par. 35:13
So all the service of the Lord was duly accomplished that day, both in keeping the phase and offering holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias. 2 Par. 35:16
And the children of Israel that were found there, kept the phase at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 2 Par. 35:17
There was no phase like to this in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet: neither did any of all the kings of Israel keep such a phase as Josias kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Juda, and Israel that were found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 35:18

That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired. 2 Par. 36:21
‡ ¤ In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians: and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and in writing also, saying: 1 Esd. 1:1
Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him. Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel: he is the God that is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:3
And let all the rest in all places wheresoever they dwell, help him every man from his place, with silver and gold, and goods, and cattle, besides that which they offer freely to the temple of God, which is in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:4
And all they that were round about, helped their hands with vessels of silver, and gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with furniture, besides what they had offered on their own accord. 1 Esd. 1:6
All the vessels of gold and silver, five thousand four hundred: all these Sassabasar brought with them that came up from the captivity of Babylon to Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 1:11
¤ Now these are the children of the province, that went out of the captivity, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Juda, every man to his city. 1 Esd. 2:1
And these are they that came up from Thelmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, and Adon, and Emer. And they could not shew the house of their fathers and their seed, whether they were of Israel. 1 Esd. 2:59

And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. 1 Esd. 3:2
And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a freewill offering was made to the Lord. 1 Esd. 3:5
And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord. 1 Esd. 3:8
Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites. 1 Esd. 3:9
But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice. 1 Esd. 3:12
So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off. 1 Esd. 3:13
¤ Now the enemies of Juda and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to the Lord the God of Israel. 1 Esd. 4:1
And in the days of Artaxerxes, Beselam, Mithridates, and Thabeel, and the rest that were in the council wrote to Artaxerxes king of the Persians: and the letter of accusation was written in Syrian, and was read in the Syrian tongue. 1 Esd. 4:7
(This is the copy of the letter, which they sent to him:) To Artaxerxes the king, thy servants, the men that are on this side of the river, send greeting. 1 Esd. 4:11
Be it known to the king, that the Jews, who came up from thee to us, are come to Jerusalem a rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, setting up the ramparts thereof and repairing the walls. 1 Esd. 4:12
And now be it known to the king, that if this city be built up, and the walls thereof repaired, they will not pay tribute nor toll, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will fall upon the kings. 1 Esd. 4:13
But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king, 1 Esd. 4:14
That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed. 1 Esd. 4:15
We certify the king, that if this city be built, and the walls thereof repaired, thou shalt have no possession on this side of the river. 1 Esd. 4:16
The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace. 1 Esd. 4:17
And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein. 1 Esd. 4:19
For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who have had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues. 1 Esd. 4:20
Now therefore hear the sentence: Hinder those men, that this city be not built, till further orders be given by me. 1 Esd. 4:21
See that you be not negligent in executing this, lest by little and little the evil grow to the hurt of the kings. 1 Esd. 4:22
¤ Now Aggeus the prophet, and Zacharias the son of Addo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judea and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel. 1 Esd. 5:1
In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building. 1 Esd. 5:4
But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation. 1 Esd. 5:5
The copy of the letter that Thathanai governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors the Arphasachites, who dwelt beyond the river, sent to Darius the king. 1 Esd. 5:6
Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently and advanceth in their hands. 1 Esd. 5:8
We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them. 1 Esd. 5:10
And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up. 1 Esd. 5:11
But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon. 1 Esd. 5:12
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, king Cyrus set forth a decree, that this house of God should be built. 1 Esd. 5:13
And the vessels also of gold and silver of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and had brought them to the temple of Babylon, king Cyrus brought out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sassabasar, whom also he appointed governor, 1 Esd. 5:14
And said to him: Take these vessels, and go, and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place. 1 Esd. 5:15
Then came this same Sassabasar, and laid the foundations of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it is in building, and is not yet finished. 1 Esd. 5:16
Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king's library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter. 1 Esd. 5:17
¤ Then king Darius gave orders, and they searched in the library of the books that were laid up in Babylon, 1 Esd. 6:1
In the first year of Cyrus the king: Cyrus the king decreed, that the house of God should be built, which is in Jerusalem, in the place where they may offer sacrifices, and that they lay the foundations that may support the height of threescore cubits, and the breadth of threescore cubits, 1 Esd. 6:3
And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place. 1 Esd. 6:7
I also have commanded what must be done by those ancients of the Jews, that the house of God may be built, to wit, that of the king's chest, that is, of the tribute that is paid out of the country beyond the river, the charges be diligently given to those men, lest the work be hindered. 1 Esd. 6:8
And if it shall be necessary, let calves also, and lambs, and kids, for holocausts to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the custom of the priests that are in Jerusalem, be given them day by day, that there be no complaint in any thing. 1 Esd. 6:9
And I have made a decree: That if any whosoever, shall alter this commandment, a beam be taken from his house, and set up, and he be nailed upon it, and his house be confiscated. 1 Esd. 6:11
And may the God, that hath caused his name to dwell there, destroy all kingdoms, and the people that shall put out their hand to resist, and to destroy the house of God, that is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made the decree, which I will have diligently complied with. 1 Esd. 6:12
And the children of Israel that were returned from captivity, and all that had separated themselves from the filthiness of the nations of the earth to them, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, did eat. 1 Esd. 6:21
And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, that he should help their hands in the work of the house of the Lord the God of Israel. 1 Esd. 6:22
It is decreed by me, that all they of the people of Israel, and of the priests and of the Levites in my realm, that are minded to go into Jerusalem, should go with thee. 1 Esd. 7:13

The vessels also, that are given thee for the sacrifice of the house of thy God, deliver thou in the sight of God in Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 7:19
I Artaxerxes the king have ordered and decreed to all the keepers of the public chest, that are beyond the river, that whatsoever Esdras the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, you give it without delay, 1 Esd. 7:21
All that belongeth to the rites of the God of heaven, let it be given diligently in the house of the God of heaven: lest his wrath should be enkindled against the realm of the king, and of his sons. 1 Esd. 7:23
We give you also to understand concerning all the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nathinites, and ministers of the house of this God, that you have no authority to impose toll or tribute, or custom upon them. 1 Esd. 7:24
And thou Esdras according to the wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, appoint judges and magistrates, that may judge all the people, that is beyond the river, that is, for them who know the law of thy God, yea and the ignorant teach ye freely. 1 Esd. 7:25
And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God. 1 Esd. 8:17
And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, and for all our substance. 1 Esd. 8:21
For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him. 1 Esd. 8:22
And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered. 1 Esd. 8:25
And I said to them: You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our fathers. 1 Esd. 8:28
According to the number and weight of everything: and all the weight was written at that time. 1 Esd. 8:34
Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust to the Lord. 1 Esd. 8:35
And they gave the king's edicts to the lords that were from the king's court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God. 1 Esd. 8:36
And there were assembled to me all that feared the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that were come from the captivity, and I sat sorrowful, until the evening sacrifice. 1 Esd. 9:4
And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage. 1 Esd. 9:8
Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, and take not their daughters for your sons, and seek not their peace, nor their prosperity for ever: that you may be strengthened, and may eat the good things of the land, and may have your children your heirs for ever. 1 Esd. 9:12
And after all that is come upon us, for our most wicked deeds, and our great sin, seeing that thou our God hast saved us from our iniquity, and hast given us a deliverance as at this day, 1 Esd. 9:13
That we should not turn away, nor break thy commandments, nor join in marriage with the people of these abominations. Art thou angry with us unto utter destruction, not to leave us a remnant to be saved? 1 Esd. 9:14
Let us make a covenant with the Lord our God, to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the will of the Lord, and of them that fear the commandment of the Lord our God: let it be done according to the law. 1 Esd. 10:3
So Esdras arose, and made the chiefs of the priests and of the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word, and they swore. 1 Esd. 10:5
And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity. 1 Esd. 10:6
And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem. 1 Esd. 10:7
And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the ancients, all his substance should be taken away, and he should be cast out of the company of them that were returned from captivity. 1 Esd. 10:8
Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin. 1 Esd. 10:14
And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 1 Esd. 10:17
And there were found among the sons of the priests that had taken strange wives: Of the sons of Josue the son of Josedec, and his brethren, Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Godolia. 1 Esd. 10:18
All these had taken strange wives, and there were among them women that had borne children. 1 Esd. 10:44
That Hanani one of my brethren came, he and some men of Juda; and I asked them concerning the Jews, that remained and were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 2 Esd. 1:2
And they said to me: They that have remained, and are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction, and reproach: and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire. 2 Esd. 1:3
And I said: I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, strong, great, and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy with those that love thee, and keep thy commandments: 2 Esd. 1:5
Remember the word that thou commandedst to Moses thy servant, saying: If you shall transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 2 Esd. 1:8
¤ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king: that wine was before him, and I took up the wine, and gave it to the king: and I was as one languishing away before his face. 2 Esd. 2:1
And I said to the king: If it seem good to the king, and if thy servant hath found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldst send me into Judea to the city of the sepulchre of my father, and I will build it. 2 Esd. 2:5
And the king said to me, and the queen that sat by him: For how long shall thy journey be, and when wilt thou return? And it pleased the king, and he sent me: and I fixed him a time. 2 Esd. 2:6
And I said to the king: If it seem good to the king, let him give me letters to the governors of the country beyond the river, that they convey me over, till I come into Judea: 2 Esd. 2:7
And a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, to give me timber that I may cover the gates of the tower of the house, and the walls of the city, and the house that I shall enter into. And the king gave me according to the good hand of my God with me. 2 Esd. 2:8
And Sanaballat the Horonite, and Tobias the servant, the Ammonite, heard it, and it grieved them exceedingly, that a man was come, who sought the prosperity of the children of Israel. 2 Esd. 2:10
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me, and I told not any man what God had put in my heart to do in Jerusalem, and there was no beast with me, but the beast that I rode upon. 2 Esd. 2:12
But the magistrates knew not whither I went, or what I did: neither had I as yet told any thing to the Jews, or to the priests, or to the nobles, or to the magistrates, or to the rest that did the work. 2 Esd. 2:16
But Sanaballat the Horonite, and Tobias the servant, the Ammonite, and Gossem the Arabian heard of it, and they scoffed at us, and despised us, and said: What is this thing that you do? are you going to rebel against the king? 2 Esd. 2:19
And next to them built Meltias the Gabaonite, and Jadon the Meronathite, the men of Gabaon and Maspha, for the governor that was in the country beyond the river. 2 Esd. 3:7
And the gate of the fountain, Sellum, the son of Cholhoza, built, lord of the street of Maspha: he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks, and the bars, and the walls of the pool of Siloe unto the king's guard, and unto the steps that go down from the city of David. 2 Esd. 3:15
After him built Nehemias the son of Azboc, lord of half the street of Bethsur, as far as over against the sepulchre of David, and to the pool, that was built with great labour, and to the house of the mighty. 2 Esd. 3:16
Phalel, the son of Ozi, over against the bending and the tower, which lieth out from the king's high house, that is, in the court of the prison: after him Phadaia the son of Pharos. 2 Esd. 3:25
And the Nathinites dwelt in Ophel, as far as over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that stood out. 2 Esd. 3:26
After him the Thecuites built another measure over against, from the great tower that standeth out unto the wall of the temple. 2 Esd. 3:27
¤ And it came to pass, that when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall he was angry: and being moved exceedingly he scoffed at the Jews. 2 Esd. 4:1
And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Azotians heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and the breaches began to be closed, that they were exceedingly angry. 2 Esd. 4:7
And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us, 2 Esd. 4:12
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that the thing had been told us, that God defeated their counsel. And we returned all of us to the walls, every man to his work. 2 Esd. 4:15
And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda. 2 Esd. 4:16
Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword. 2 Esd. 4:17
At that time also I said to the people: Let every one with his servant stay in the midst of Jerusalem, and let us take our turns in the night, and by day, to work. 2 Esd. 4:22
Now I and my brethren, and my servants, and the watchmen that followed me, did not put off our clothes: only every man stripped himself when he was to be washed. 2 Esd. 4:23
And there were some that said: Our sons and our daughters are very many: let us take up corn for the price of them, and let us eat and live. 2 Esd. 5:2
And there were some that said: Let us mortgage our lands, and our vineyards, and our houses, and let us take corn because of the famine. 2 Esd. 5:3
And I said to them: We, as you know, have redeemed according to our ability our brethren the Jews, that were sold to the Gentiles: and will you then sell your brethren, for us to redeem them? And they held their peace, and found not what to answer. 2 Esd. 5:8
And I said to them: The thing you do is not good: why walk you not in the fear of our God, that we be not exposed to the reproaches of the Gentiles our enemies? 2 Esd. 5:9
Both I and my brethren, and my servants, have lent money and corn to many: let us all agree not to call for it again; let us forgive the debt that is owing to us. 2 Esd. 5:10
Moreover I shook my lap, and said: So may God shake every man that shall not accomplish this word, out of his house, and out of his labours, thus may he be shaken out, and become empty. And all the multitude said: Amen. And they praised God. And the people did according to what was said. 2 Esd. 5:13
And from the day, in which the king commanded me to be governor in the land of Juda, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my brethren did not eat the yearly allowance that was due to the governors. 2 Esd. 5:14
But the former governors that had been before me, were chargeable to the people, and took of them in bread, and wine, and in money every day forty sicles: and their officers also oppressed the people. But I did not so for the fear of God. 2 Esd. 5:15
The Jews also and the magistrates to the number of one hundred and fifty men, were at my table, besides them that came to us from among the nations that were round about us. 2 Esd. 5:17
Remember me, O my God, for good according to all that I have done for this people. 2 Esd. 5:19
¤ And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,) 2 Esd. 6:1
It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end 2 Esd. 6:6
Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together. 2 Esd. 6:7
For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more: 2 Esd. 6:9
And I said: Should such a man as I flee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in. 2 Esd. 6:11
And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him. 2 Esd. 6:12
For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal. 2 Esd. 6:13
Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear. 2 Esd. 6:14
And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, that all nations which were round about us, were afraid, and were cast down within themselves, for they perceived that this work was the work of God. 2 Esd. 6:16
I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest,) 2 Esd. 7:2
These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city. 2 Esd. 7:6
And these are they that came up from Telmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, Addon, and Emmer: and could not shew the house of their fathers, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel. 2 Esd. 7:61
And Athersatha said to them, that they should not eat of the holies of holies, until there stood up a priest learned and skilful. 2 Esd. 7:65
And that which the rest of the people gave, was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven garments for priests. 2 Esd. 7:72
Then Esdras the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those that could understand, in the first day of the seventh month. 2 Esd. 8:2
And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book. 2 Esd. 8:3
And he said to them: Go, eat fat meats, and drink sweet wine, and send portions to them that have not prepared for themselves: because it is the holy day of the Lord, and be not sad: for the joy of the Lord is our strength. 2 Esd. 8:10
So all the people went to eat and drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth: because they understood the words that he had taught them. 2 Esd. 8:12
And on the second day the chiefs of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Esdras the scribe, that he should interpret to them the words of the law. 2 Esd. 8:13
And they found written in the law, that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in tabernacles, on the feast, in the seventh month: 2 Esd. 8:14
And that they should proclaim and publish the word in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: Go forth to the mount, and fetch branches of olive, and branches of beautiful wood, branches of myrtle, and branches of palm, and branches of thick trees, to make tabernacles, as it is written. 2 Esd. 8:15
And all the assembly of them that were returned from the captivity, made tabernacles, and dwelt in tabernacles: for since the days of Josue the son of Nun the children of Israel had not done so, until that day: and there was exceeding great joy. 2 Esd. 8:17
Thou thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth thee. 2 Esd. 9:6
And thou shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharao, and upon all his servants, and upon the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as it is at this day. 2 Esd. 9:10
And in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of fire by night, that they might see the way by which they went. 2 Esd. 9:12
And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them. 2 Esd. 9:15
Yea when they had made also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and had committed great blasphemies: 2 Esd. 9:18
And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it. 2 Esd. 9:23
And the children came and possessed the land, and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them. 2 Esd. 9:24
And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly. 2 Esd. 9:33
And the rest of the people, priests, Levites, porters, and singing men, Nathinites, and all that had separated themselves from the people of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. 2 Esd. 10:28
All that could understand, promising for their brethren, with their chief men, and they came to promise, and swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he gave in the hand of Moses the servant of God, that they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord our God, and his judgments and his ceremonies. 2 Esd. 10:29
And that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons. 2 Esd. 10:30
And if the people of the land bring in things to sell, or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath day, that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every hand. 2 Esd. 10:31
For the loaves of proposition, and for the continual sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the sabbaths, on the new moons, on the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offering: that atonement might be made for Israel, and for every use of the house of our God. 2 Esd. 10:33
And we cast lots among the priests, and the Levites, and the people for the offering of wood, that it might be brought into the house of our God by the houses of our fathers at set times, from year to year: to burn upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law of Moses: 2 Esd. 10:34
And that we would bring the firstfruits of our land, and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord. 2 Esd. 10:35
And that we would bring the firstfruits of our meats, and of our libations, and the fruit of every tree, of the vintage also and of oil to the priests, to the storehouse of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites. The Levites also shall receive the tithes of our works out of all the cities. 2 Esd. 10:37
And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem. 2 Esd. 11:2
And their brethren that do the works of the temple: eight hundred twenty-two. And Adaia the son of Jeroham, the son of Phelelia, the son of Amsi, the son of Zacharias, the son of Pheshur, the son of Melchias, 2 Esd. 11:12
And the Nathinites, that dwelt in Ophel, and Siaha, and Gaspha of the Nathinites. 2 Esd. 11:21
¤ Now these are the priests and the Levites, that went up with Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue: Saraia, Jeremias, Esdras, 2 Esd. 12:1
And the second choir of them that gave thanks went on the opposite side, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, and upon the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall, 2 Esd. 12:38
And the two choirs of them that gave praise stood still at the house of God, and I and the half of the magistrates with me. 2 Esd. 12:40
And they sacrificed on that day great sacrifices, and they rejoiced: for God had made them joyful with great joy: their wives also and their children rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off. 2 Esd. 12:43
They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted. 2 Esd. 12:44
¤ And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever: 2 Esd. 13:1
And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel. 2 Esd. 13:3
And I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliasib had done for Tobias, to make him a storehouse in the courts of the house of God. 2 Esd. 13:7
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: and that the Levites, and the singing men, and they that ministered were fled away every man to his own country: 2 Esd. 13:10
In those days I saw in Juda some treading the presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and lading asses with wine, and grapes, and figs, and all manner of burthens, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. And I charged them that they should sell on a day on which it was lawful to sell. 2 Esd. 13:15
And I rebuked the chief men of Juda, and said to them: What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day: 2 Esd. 13:17
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke: and they shut the gates, and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day. 2 Esd. 13:19
So the merchants, and they that sold all kinds of wares, stayed without Jerusalem, once or twice. 2 Esd. 13:20
And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath. 2 Esd. 13:21
I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 2 Esd. 13:22
In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab. 2 Esd. 13:23
And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews' language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people. 2 Esd. 13:24
And I chid them, and laid my curse upon them. And I beat some of them, and shaved off their hair, and made them swear by God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, saying: 2 Esd. 13:25
Remember them, O Lord my God, that defile the priesthood, and the law of priests and Levites. 2 Esd. 13:29
‡ ¤ Tobias of the tribe and city of Nephtali, (which is in the upper parts of Galilee above Naasson, beyond the way that leadeth to the west, having on the right hand the city of Sephet,) Tob. 1:1
But every day gave all he could get to his brethren his fellow captives, that were of his kindred. Tob. 1:3
So that in the third year he gave all his tithes to the proselytes, and strangers. Tob. 1:7
He therefore went to all that were in captivity, and gave them wholesome admonitions. Tob. 1:15
And when he was come to Rages a city of the Medes, and had ten talents of silver of that with which he had been honoured by the king: Tob. 1:16
He fed the hungry, and gave clothes to the naked, and was careful to bury the dead, and they that were slain. Tob. 1:20
And when king Sennacherib was come back, fleeing from Judea by reason of the slaughter that God had made about him for his blasphemy, and being angry slew many of the children of Israel, Tobias buried their bodies. Tob. 1:21
He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God, to feast with us. Tob. 2:2
And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body. Tob. 2:3
And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously. Tob. 2:4
But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them. Tob. 2:9
Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept, Tob. 2:10
Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job. Tob. 2:12
For we are the children of the saints, and look for that life which God will give to those that never change their faith from him. Tob. 2:18
Whereby it came to pass, that she received a young kid, and brought it home: Tob. 2:20
And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft. Tob. 2:21
Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids, Tob. 3:7
But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach. Tob. 3:11
She said: Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers, who when thou hast been angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee. Tob. 3:13
I beg, O Lord, that thou loose me from the bond of this reproach, or else take me away from the earth. Tob. 3:15
Thou knowest, O Lord, that I never coveted a husband, and have kept my soul clean from all lust. Tob. 3:16
Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I made myself partaker with them that walk in lightness. Tob. 3:17
But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his life, if it be under trial, shall be crowned and if it be under tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction, it shall be allowed to come to thy mercy. Tob. 3:21
At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory of the most high God: Tob. 3:24
¤ Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son, Tob. 4:1
Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee. Tob. 4:7
Alms shall be a great confidence before the most high God, to all them that give it. Tob. 4:12
Bless God at all times: and desire of him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in him. Tob. 4:20
I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me: Tob. 4:21
Fear not, my son: we lead indeed a poor life, but we shall have many good things if we fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is good. Tob. 4:23
But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live. Tob. 5:4
And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man? Tob. 5:6
But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes? Tob. 5:7
Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him. Tob. 5:10
And Tobias answered: Thou art of a great family. But I pray thee be not angry that I desired to know thy family. Tob. 5:19
Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together. Tob. 5:22
For our poverty was sufficient for us, that we might account it as riches, that we saw our son. Tob. 5:25
For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy. Tob. 5:27
And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to them. Tob. 6:8
And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge? Tob. 6:10
Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil killed them. Tob. 6:14
And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the devil shall be driven away. Tob. 6:19
And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound children may be born of you. Tob. 6:21
And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children. Tob. 6:22
Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, Tob. 7:11
And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee. Tob. 7:14
For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God. Tob. 8:5
So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them, Tob. 8:6
And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee. Tob. 8:7
And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever. Tob. 8:9
For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her. Tob. 8:12
Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day. Tob. 8:14
For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us. Tob. 8:18
And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth. Tob. 8:19
And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey. Tob. 8:21
And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to Tobias, and made a writing, that the half that remained should after their decease come also to Tobias. Tob. 8:24
For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted. Tob. 9:4
And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding. Tob. 9:7
And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds: Tob. 9:9
And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty. Tob. 10:6
But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off. Tob. 10:7
But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health. Tob. 10:8
And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them. Tob. 10:9
Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey, and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about your parents, and my eyes may see your children before I die. Tob. 10:11
And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed. Tob. 11:4
And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh. Tob. 11:6
And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee. Tob. 11:8
And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son. Tob. 11:10
And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew him. Tob. 11:16
And after seven days Sara his son's wife and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus, Tob. 11:18
And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. Tob. 11:19
And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him. Tob. 11:20
¤ Then Tobias called to him his son and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee? Tob. 12:1
But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would vouchsafe to accept of one half of all things that have been brought. Tob. 12:4
So the father and the son calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought, Tob. 12:5
Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you. Tob. 12:6
For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting. Tob. 12:9
But they that commit sin and iniquity, are enemies to their own soul. Tob. 12:10
And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove thee. Tob. 12:13
It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all his wonderful works. Tob. 12:20
For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand. Tob. 13:2
Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him. Tob. 13:4
Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you. Tob. 13:8
Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever. Tob. 13:12
They shall be cursed that shall despise thee: and they shall be condemned that shall blaspheme thee: and blessed shall they be that shall build thee up, Tob. 13:16
Blessed are all they that love thee, and that rejoice in thy peace, Tob. 13:18
The destruction of Ninive is at hand: for the word of the Lord must be fulfilled: and our brethren, that are scattered abroad from the land of Israel, shall return to it. Tob. 14:6
And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither. Tob. 14:7
Hearken therefore, my children, to your father: serve the Lord in truth, and seek to do the things that please him: Tob. 14:10
And command your children that they do justice and almsdeeds, and that they be mindful of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and with all their power. Tob. 14:11
For I see that its iniquity will bring it to destruction. Tob. 14:13
And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's children, and returned to his father and mother in law. Tob. 14:14
And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land. Tob. 14:17
Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, Jud. 1:7
And to the nations that are in Carmelus, and Cedar, and to the inhabitants of Galilee in the great plain of Asdrelon, Jud. 1:8
And to all that were in Samaria, and beyond the river Jordan even to Jerusalem, and all the land of Jesse till you come to the borders of Ethiopia. Jud. 1:9
Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all those countries. Jud. 1:12
¤ In the thirteenth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, the two and twentieth day of the first month, the word was given out in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he would revenge himself. Jud. 2:1
And he said that his thoughts were to bring all the earth under his empire. Jud. 2:3
And said to him: Go out against all the kingdoms of the west, and against them especially that despised my commandment. Jud. 2:5
And he passed over the Euphrates and came into Mesopotamia: and he forced all the stately cities that were there, from the torrent of Mambre, till one comes to the sea: Jud. 2:14
And he carried away all the children of Madian, and stripped them of all their riches, and all that resisted him he slew with the edge of the sword. Jud. 2:16
And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming. Jud. 3:9
And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart: Jud. 3:11
For Nabuchodonosor the king had commanded him to destroy all the gods of the earth, that he only might be called God by those nations which could be brought under him by the power of Holofernes. Jud. 3:13
Dread and horror seized upon their minds, lest he should do the same to Jerusalem and to the temple of the Lord, that he had done to other cities and their temples. Jud. 4:2
And Eliachim the priest wrote to all that were over against Esdrelon, which faceth the great plain near Dothain, and to all by whom there might be a passage of way, that they should take possession of the ascents of the mountains, by which there might be any way to Jerusalem, and should keep watch where the way was narrow between the mountains. Jud. 4:5
And they cried to the Lord the God of Israel with one accord, that their children might not be made a prey, and their wives carried off, and their cities destroyed, and their holy things profaned, and that they might not be made a reproach to the Gentiles. Jud. 4:9
Saying: Know ye that the Lord will hear your prayers, if you continue with perseverance in fastings and prayers in the sight of the Lord. Jud. 4:11
Remember Moses the servant of the Lord who overcame Amalec that trusted in his own strength, and in his power, and in his army, and in his shields, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen, not by fighting with the sword, but by holy prayers: Jud. 4:12
So that even they who offered the holocausts to the Lord, offered the sacrifices to the Lord girded with haircloths, and with ashes upon their head. Jud. 4:15
And they all begged of God with all their heart, that he would visit his people Israel. Jud. 4:16
¤ And it was told Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, that the children of Israel prepared themselves to resist, and had shut up the ways of the mountains. Jud. 5:1
And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare: Jud. 5:3
And why they above all that dwell in the east, have despised us, and have not come out to meet us, that they might receive us with peace? Jud. 5:4
Then Achior captain of all the children of Ammon answering, said; If thou vouchsafe, my lord, to hear, I will tell the truth in thy sight concerning this people, that dwelleth in the mountains, and there shall not a false word come out of my mouth. Jud. 5:5
They worshipped one God of heaven, who also commanded them to depart from thence, and to dwell in Charan. And when there was a famine over all the land, they went down into Egypt, and there for four hundred years were so multiplied, that the army of them could not be numbered. Jud. 5:9
The God of heaven opened the sea to them in their flight, so that the waters were made to stand firm as a wall on either side, and they walked through the bottom of the sea and passed it dry foot. Jud. 5:12
And when an innumerable army of the Egyptians pursued after them in that place, they were so overwhelmed with the waters, that there was not one left, to tell what had happened to posterity. Jud. 5:13
And there was no one that triumphed over this people, but when they departed from the worship of the Lord their God. Jud. 5:17
Who is this, that saith the children of Israel can resist king Nabuchodonosor, and his armies, men unarmed, and without force, and without skill in the art of war? Jud. 5:27
That Achior therefore may know that he deceiveth us, let us go up into the mountains: and when the bravest of them shall be taken, then shall he with them be stabbed with the sword, Jud. 5:28
That every nation may know that Nabuchodonosor is god of the earth, and besides him there is no other. Jud. 5:29
¤ And it came to pass when they had left off speaking, that Holofernes being in a violent passion, said to Achior: Jud. 6:1
Because thou hast prophesied unto us, saying: That the nation of Israel is defended by their God, to shew thee that there is no God, but Nabuchodonosor: Jud. 6:2
And thou shalt find that Nabuchodonosor is lord of the whole earth: and then the sword of my soldiers shall pass through thy sides, and thou shalt be stabbed and fall among the wounded of Israel, and thou shalt breathe no more till thou be destroyed with them. Jud. 6:4
But if thou think thy prophecy true, let not thy countenance sink, and let the paleness that is in thy face, depart from thee, if thou imaginest these my words cannot be accomplished. Jud. 6:5
And that thou mayst know that thou shalt experience these things together with them, behold from this hour thou shalt be associated to their people, that when they shall receive the punishment they deserve from my sword, thou mayst fall under the same vengeance. Jud. 6:6
And the children of Israel coming down from Bethulia, came to him, and loosing him they brought him to Bethulia, and setting him in the midst of the people, asked him what was the matter that the Assyrians had left him bound. Jud. 6:10
And Achior related in the midst of the ancients, and in the presence of all the people, all that he had said being asked by Holofernes: and how the people of Holofernes would have killed him for this word, Jud. 6:12
And how Holofernes himself being angry had commanded him to be delivered for this cause to the Israelites: that when he should overcome the children of Israel, then he might command Achior also himself to be put to death by diverse torments, for having said: The God of heaven is their defender. Jud. 6:13
Saying: O Lord God of heaven and earth, behold their pride, and look on our low condition, and have regard to the face of thy saints, and shew that thou forsakest not them that trust on thee, and that thou humblest them that presume of themselves, and glory in their own strength. Jud. 6:15
Saying: The God of our fathers, whose power thou hast set forth, will make this return to thee, that thou rather shalt see their destruction. Jud. 6:17
And when the Lord our God shall give this liberty to his servants, let God be with thee also in the midst of us: that as it shall please thee, so thou with all thine mayst converse with us. Jud. 6:18
But the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, prostrated themselves upon the ground, putting ashes upon their heads, praying with one accord, that the God of Israel would shew his mercy upon his people. Jud. 7:4
Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountain which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to be cut off. Jud. 7:6
Wherefore that thou mayst overcome them without joining battle, set guards at the springs that they may not draw water out of them, and thou shalt destroy them without sword, or at least being wearied out they will yield up their city, which they suppose, because it is situate in the mountains, to be impregnable. Jud. 7:9
And when they had kept this watch for full twenty days, the cisterns, and the reserve of waters failed among all the inhabitants of Bethulia, so that there was not within the city, enough to satisfy them, no not for one day, for water was daily given out to the people by measure. Jud. 7:11
Said: God be judge between us and thee, for thou hast done evil against us, in that thou wouldst not speak peaceably with the Assyrians, and for this cause God hath sold us into their hands. Jud. 7:13
And now assemble ye all that are in the city, that we may of our own accord yield ourselves all up to the people of Holofernes. Jud. 7:15
For it is better, that being captives we should live and bless the Lord, than that we should die, and be a reproach to all flesh, after we have seen our wives and our infants die before our eyes. Jud. 7:16
We call to witness this day heaven and earth, and the God of our fathers, who taketh vengeance upon us according to our sins, conjuring you to deliver now the city into the hand of the army of Holofernes, that our end may be short by the edge of the sword, which is made longer by the drought of thirst. Jud. 7:17
Have thou mercy on us, because thou art good, or punish our iniquities by chastising us thyself, and deliver not them that trust in thee to a people that knoweth not thee, Jud. 7:20
That they may not say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? Jud. 7:21
For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. Jud. 8:3
And she was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very much, neither was there any one that spoke an ill word of her. Jud. 8:8
When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi. Jud. 8:9
And who are you that tempt the Lord? Jud. 8:11
This is not a word that may draw down mercy, but rather that may stir up wrath, and enkindle indignation. Jud. 8:12
Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility. Jud. 8:17
Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace. Jud. 8:20
And now, brethren, as you are the ancients among the people of God, and their very soul resteth upon you: comfort their hearts by your speech, that they may be mindful how our fathers were tempted that they might be proved, whether they worshipped their God truly. Jud. 8:21
So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful. Jud. 8:23
But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord, Jud. 8:24
But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction. Jud. 8:27
And Judith said to them: As you know that what I have been able to say is of God: Jud. 8:30
So that which I intend to do prove ye if it be of God, and pray that God may strengthen my design. Jud. 8:31
You shall stand at the gate this night, and I will go out with my maidservant: and pray ye, that as you have said, in five days the Lord may look down upon his people Israel. Jud. 8:32
But I desire that you search not into what I am doing, and till I bring you word let nothing else be done but to pray for me to the Lord our God. Jud. 8:33
And know not that thou art our God, who destroyest wars from the beginning, and the Lord is thy name. Jud. 9:10
Bring to pass, O Lord, that his pride may be cut off with his own sword. Jud. 9:12
Give me constancy in my mind, that I may despise him: and fortitude that I may overthrow him. Jud. 9:14
Remember, O Lord, thy covenant, and put thou words in my mouth, and strengthen the resolution in my heart, that thy house may continue in thy holiness: Jud. 9:18
And all nations may acknowledge that thou art God, and there is no other besides thee. Jud. 9:19
¤ And it came to pass, when she had ceased to cry to the Lord, that she rose from the place wherein she lay prostrate before the Lord. Jud. 10:1
And the Lord also gave her more beauty: because all this dressing up did not proceed from sensuality, but from virtue: and therefore the Lord increased this her beauty, so that she appeared to all men's eyes incomparably lovely. Jud. 10:4
But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. Jud. 10:8
And they that were there said, all with one voice: So be it, so be it. Jud. 10:9
And it came to pass, when she went down the hill, about break of day, that the watchmen of the Assyrians met her, and stopped her, saying: Whence comest thou or whither goest thou? Jud. 10:11
And she answered: I am a daughter of the Hebrews, and I am fled from them, because I knew they would be made a prey to you, because they despised you, and would not of their own accord yield themselves, that they might find mercy in your sight. Jud. 10:12
For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. Jud. 10:13
And be assured of this, that when thou shalt stand before him, he will treat thee well, and thou wilt be most acceptable to his heart. And they brought her to the tent of Holofernes, telling him of her. Jud. 10:16
And his officers said to him: Who can despise the people of the Hebrews, who have such beautiful women, that we should not think it worth our while for their sakes to fight against them? Jud. 10:18
¤ Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Jud. 11:1
For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces. Jud. 11:6
For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. Jud. 11:8
For I thy handmaid worship God even now that I am with thee, and thy handmaid will go out, and I will pray to God, Jud. 11:14
And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against thee: Jud. 11:15
And Holofernes said to her: God hath done well who sent thee before the people, that thou mightest give them into our hands: Jud. 11:20
¤ Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given her from his own table. Jud. 12:1
And Judith said: As thy soul liveth, my lord, thy handmaid shall not spend all these things till God do by my hand that which I have purposed. And his servants brought her into the tent which he had commanded. Jud. 12:4
And when she was going in, she desired that she might have liberty to go out at night and before day to prayer, and to beseech the Lord. Jud. 12:5
And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. Jud. 12:6
And as she came up, she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, that he would direct her way to the deliverance of his people. Jud. 12:8
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and said to Vagao his eunuch: Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman, to consent of her own accord to dwell with me. Jud. 12:10
Then Vagao went in to Judith, and said: Let not my good maid be afraid to go in to my lord, that she may be honoured before his face, that she may eat with him and drink wine and be merry. Jud. 12:12
And Judith answered him: Who am I, that I should gainsay my lord? Jud. 12:13
All that shall be good and best before his eyes, I will do. And whatsoever shall please him, that shall be best to me all the days of my life. Jud. 12:14
Saying: Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, and in this hour look on the works of my hands, that as thou hast promised, thou mayst raise up Jerusalem thy city: and that I may bring to pass that which I have purposed, having a belief that it might be done by thee. Jud. 13:7
And when she had said this, she went to the pillar that was at his bed's head, and loosed his sword that hung tied upon it. Jud. 13:8
And it came to pass, when the men had heard her voice, that they called the ancients of the city. Jud. 13:14
And all ran to meet her from the least to the greatest: for they now had no hopes that she would come. Jud. 13:15
Judith said: Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in him. Jud. 13:17
Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God. Jud. 13:25
And Achior being called for came, and Judith said to him: The God of Israel, to whom thou gavest testimony, that he revengeth himself of his enemies, he hath cut off the head of all the unbelievers this night by my hand. Jud. 13:27
And that thou mayst find that it is so, behold the head of Holofernes, who in the contempt of his pride despised the God of Israel: and threatened them with death, saying: When the people of Israel shall be taken, I will command thy sides to be pierced with a sword. Jud. 13:28
And when you shall know that they are fleeing, go after them securely, for the Lord will destroy them under your feet. Jud. 14:5
Then Achior seeing the power that the God of Israel had wrought, leaving the religion of the Gentiles, he believed God, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the people of Israel, with all the succession of his kindred until this present day. Jud. 14:6
And they that were in the tent came, and made a noise, before the door of the chamber to awake him, endeavouring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awake, not by their calling him, but by their noise. Jud. 14:9
Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith. Jud. 14:13
¤ And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight. Jud. 15:1
So that no one spoke to his neighbour, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills. Jud. 15:2
And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their flight; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all that they could find. Jud. 15:4
And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly, Jud. 15:7
But they that returned conquerors to Bethulia, brought with them all things that were theirs, so that there was no numbering of their cattle, and beasts, and all their moveables, insomuch that from the least to the greatest all were made rich by their spoils. Jud. 15:8
But all those things that were proved to be the peculiar goods of Holofernes, they gave to Judith in gold, and silver, and garments and precious stones, and all household stuff, and they all were delivered to her by the people. Jud. 15:14
He bragged that he would set my borders on fire, and kill my young men with the sword, to make my infants a prey, and my virgins captives. Jud. 16:6
Let all thy creatures serve thee: because thou hast spoken, and they were made: thou didst send forth thy spirit, and they were created, and there is no one that can resist thy voice. Jud. 16:17
But they that fear thee, shall be great with thee in all things. Jud. 16:19
Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them. Jud. 16:20
For he will give fire, and worms into their flesh, that they may burn, and may feel for ever. Jud. 16:21
And it came to pass after these things, that all the people, after the victory, came to Jerusalem to adore the Lord: and as soon as they were purified, they all offered holocausts, and vows, and their promises. Jud. 16:22
And Judith offered for an anathema of oblivion all the arms of Holofernes, which the people gave her, and the canopy that she had taken away out of his chamber. Jud. 16:23
And chastity was joined to her virtue, so that she knew no man all the days of her life, after the death of Manasses her husband. Jud. 16:26
And all the time of her life there was none that troubled Israel, nor many years after her death. Jud. 16:30
But the day of the festivity of this victory is received by the Hebrews in the number of holy days, and is religiously observed by the Jews from that time until this day. Jud. 16:31
And that was a day of darkness and danger, of tribulation and distress, and great fear upon the earth. Esther 11:8
¤ And he abode at that time in the king's court with Bagatha and Thara the king's eunuchs, who were porters of the palace. Esther 12:1
And when he understood their designs, and had diligently searched into their projects, he learned that they went about to lay violent hands on king Artaxerxes, and he told the king thereof. Esther 12:2
That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days. Esther 1:4
And when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king. Esther 1:5
And they that were invited, drank in golden cups, and the meats were brought in divers vessels one after another. Wine also in abundance and of the best was presented, as was worthy of a king's magnificence. Esther 1:7
Neither was there any one to compel them to drink that were not willing, but as the king had appointed, who set over every table one of his nobles, that every man might take what he would. Esther 1:8
Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence, Esther 1:10
And Mamuchan answered, in the hearing of the king and the princes: Queen Vasthi hath not only injured the king, but also all the people and princes that are in all the provinces of king Assuerus. Esther 1:16
For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not. Esther 1:17
If it please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place. Esther 1:19
And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people. Esther 1:22
Who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away Jechonias king of Juda, Esther 2:6
And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that: Esther 2:10
Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices. Esther 2:12
And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come. Esther 2:14
Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one. Esther 2:20
At that time, therefore, when Mardochai abode at the king's gate, Bagathan and Thares, two of the king's eunuchs, who were porters, and presided in the first entry of the palace, were angry: and they designed to rise up against the king, and to kill him. Esther 2:21
¤ After these things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that were with him. Esther 3:1
And all the king's servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him. Esther 3:2
And the king's servants that were chief at the doors of the palace, said to him: Why dost thou alone not observe the king's commandment? Esther 3:3
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them, they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Esther 3:4
Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry. Esther 3:5
And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king's ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity. Esther 3:8
If it please thee, decree that they may be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents to thy treasurers. Esther 3:9
And the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy of the Jews, Esther 3:10
Were sent by the king's messengers to all provinces, to kill and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to make a spoil of their goods. Esther 3:13
¤ And this was the copy of the letter: Artaxerxes the great king who reigneth from India to Ethiopia, to the princes and governors of the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, that are subject to his empire, greeting. Esther 13:1
Whereas I reigned over many nations, and had brought all the world under my dominion, I was not willing to abuse the greatness of my power, but to govern my subjects with clemency and lenity that they might live quietly without any terror, and might enjoy peace, which is desired by all men, Esther 13:2
But when I asked my counsellors how this might be accomplished, one that excelled the rest in wisdom and fidelity, and was second after the king, Aman by name, Esther 13:3
Told me that there was a people scattered through the whole world, which used new laws, and acted against the customs of all nations, despised the commandments of kings, and violated by their opposition the concord of all nations. Esther 13:4
We have commanded that all whom Aman shall mark out, who is chief over all the provinces, and second after the king, and whom we honour as a father, shall be utterly destroyed by their enemies, with their wives and children, and that none shall have pity on them, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar of this present year: Esther 13:6
That these wicked men going down to hell in one day, may restore to our empire the peace which they had disturbed. Esther 13:7
And the contents of the letters were to this effect, that all provinces might know and be ready against that day. Esther 3:14
The couriers that were sent made haste to fulfil the king's commandment. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susan, the king and Aman feasting together, and all the Jews that were in the city weeping. Esther 3:15
And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king's treasures, to have the Jews destroyed. Esther 4:7
He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. Esther 4:8
And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said. Esther 4:9
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? Esther 4:11
He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king's house, more than all the Jews: Esther 4:13
For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this? Esther 4:14
So Mardochai went, and did all that Esther had commanded him. Esther 4:17
And said: O Lord, Lord, almighty king, for all things are in thy power, and there is none that can resist thy will, if thou determine to save Israel. Esther 13:9
Thou hast made heaven and earth and all things that are under the cope of heaven. Esther 13:10
Thou art Lord of all, and there is none that can resist thy majesty. Esther 13:11
Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest that it was not out of pride and contempt or any desire of glory, that I refused to worship the proud Aman, Esther 13:12
Hear my supplication, and be merciful to thy lot and inheritance, and turn our mourning into joy, that we may live and praise thy name, O Lord, and shut not the mouths of them that sing to thee. Esther 13:17
¤ Queen Esther also, fearing the danger that was at hand, had recourse to the Lord. Esther 14:1
I have heard of my father that thou, O Lord, didst take Israel from among all nations, and our fathers from all their predecessors, to possess them as an everlasting inheritance, and thou hast done to them as thou hast promised. Esther 14:5
They design to change thy promises, and destroy thy inheritance, and shut the mouths of them that praise thee, and extinguish the glory of thy temple and altar, Esther 14:9
That they may open the mouths of Gentiles, and praise the strength of idols, and magnify for ever a carnal king. Esther 14:10
Give not, O Lord, thy sceptre to them that are not, lest they laugh at our ruin: but turn their counsel upon themselves, and destroy him that hath begun to rage against us. Esther 14:11
Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. Esther 14:13
And thou knowest that I hate the glory of the wicked, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised, and of every stranger. Esther 14:15
Thou knowest my necessity, that I abominate the sign of my pride and glory, which is upon my head in the days of my public appearance, and detest it as a menstruous rag, and wear it not in the days of my silence, Esther 14:16
And that I have not eaten at Aman's table, nor hath the king's banquet pleased me, and that I have not drunk the wine of the drink offerings: Esther 14:17
And that thy handmaid hath never rejoiced, since I was brought hither unto this day but in thee, O Lord, the God of Abraham. Esther 14:18
O God, who art mighty above all, hear the voice of them, that have no other hope, and deliver us from the hand of the wicked, and deliver me from my fear. Esther 14:19
And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther's will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them. Esther 5:5
So Aman went out that day joyful and merry. And when he saw Mardochai sitting before the gate of the palace, and that he not only did not rise up to honour him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was exceedingly angry: Esther 5:9
Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared. Esther 5:14
¤ That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him, Esther 6:1
They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus. Esther 6:2
And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet, which was prepared for him. Esther 6:4
And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself, Esther 6:6
Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head, Esther 6:8
And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight. Esther 6:13
And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 7:2
And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things? Esther 7:5
And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen. Esther 7:6
But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king. Esther 7:7
And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it. Esther 7:9
¤ On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle. Esther 8:1
And not content with these things, she fell down at the king's feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect. Esther 8:3
And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters. Esther 8:5
Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. Esther 8:8
Many have abused unto pride the goodness of princes, and the honour that hath been bestowed upon them: Esther 16:2
And not only endeavour to oppress the king's subjects, but not bearing the glory that is given them, take in hand, to practise also against them that gave it. Esther 16:3
While with crafty fraud they deceive the ears of princes that are well meaning, and judge of others by their own nature. Esther 16:6
Neither must you think, if we command different things, that it cometh of the levity of our mind, but that we give sentence according to the quality and necessity of times, as the profit of the commonwealth requireth. Esther 16:9
Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, Aman the son of Amadathi, a Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us: Esther 16:10
And found our humanity so great towards him, that he was called our father, and was worshipped by all as the next man after the king: Esther 16:11
Thinking that after they were slain, he might work treason against us left alone without friends, and might transfer the kingdom of the Persians to the Macedonians. Esther 16:14
But we have found that the Jews, who were by that most wicked man appointed to be slain, are in no fault at all, but contrariwise, use just laws, Esther 16:15
Wherefore know ye that those letters which he sent in our name, are void and of no effect. Esther 16:17
For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. Esther 16:18
But this edict, which we now send, shall be published in all cities, that the Jews may freely follow their own laws. Esther 16:19
And you shall aid them that they may kill those who had prepared themselves to kill them, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is called Adar. Esther 16:20
Wherefore you shall also count this day among other festival days, and celebrate it with all joy, that it may be known also in times to come, Esther 16:22
That all they who faithfully obey the Persians, receive a worthy reward for their fidelity: but they that are traitors to their kingdom, are destroyed for their wickedness. Esther 16:23
And let every province and city, that will not be partaker of this solemnity, perish by the sword and by fire, and be destroyed in such manner as to be made unpassable, both to men and beasts, for an example of contempt, and disobedience. Esther 16:24
And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies. Esther 8:13
And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king's commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: Insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all. Esther 8:17
And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai: Esther 9:3
Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these: Esther 9:6
And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king. Esther 9:11
And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:13
And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged. Esther 9:14
Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods. Esther 9:16
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets. Esther 9:17
But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness. Esther 9:18
But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats. Esther 9:19
And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off, Esther 9:20
That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour: Esther 9:21
Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats, and should give gifts to the poor. Esther 9:22
And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done. Esther 9:23
For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them; and had cast Phur, that is, the lot. Esther 9:24
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:25
And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book: Esther 9:26
And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another. Esther 9:27
These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies. Esther 9:28
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come. Esther 9:29
And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth, Esther 9:30
I remember a dream that I saw, which signified these same things: and nothing thereof hath failed. Esther 10:5
The nations that were assembled are they that endeavoured to destroy the name of the Jews. Esther 10:8
And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations. Esther 10:10
And both lots came to the day appointed already from that time before God to all nations: Esther 10:11
‡ ¤ There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil. Job 1:1
And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil? Job 1:8
But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he bless thee to thy face. Job 1:11
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. Job 1:12
That the Lord said to Satan: Whence comest thou? And he answered, and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it. Job 2:2
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause. Job 2:3
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin; and all that a man hath, he will give for his life: Job 2:4
But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt see that he will bless thee to thy face. Job 2:5
Now when Job's three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz, the Themanite, and Baldad, the Suhite, and Sophar, the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him. Job 2:11
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great. Job 2:13
Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it. Job 3:4
Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months. Job 3:6
Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise. Job 3:7
Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes. Job 3:10
Or with princes, that possess gold, and fill their houses with silver: Job 3:15
Or as a hidden untimely birth, I should not be; or as they that, being conceived, have not seen the light. Job 3:16
Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul? Job 3:20
That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure: Job 3:21
For the fear which I feared, hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me. Job 3:25
Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees: Job 4:4
Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness: Job 4:18
How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth? Job 4:19
And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom. Job 4:21
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints. Job 5:1
Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn. Job 5:11
Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun: Job 5:12
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin. Job 5:24
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth. Job 5:25
O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance. Job 6:2
Or can an unsavoury thing be eaten, that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man taste that which, when tasted, bringeth death? Job 6:6
Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for? Job 6:8
And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may let loose his hand, and cut me off? Job 6:9
And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy one. Job 6:10
For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end, that I should keep patience? Job 6:11
He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord. Job 6:14
My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys. Job 6:15
They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them. Job 6:16
Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me? Job 6:25
Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye. Job 6:29
Remember that my life is but wind, and my eye shall not return to see good things. Job 7:7
As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up. Job 7:9
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison? Job 7:12
So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death. Job 7:15
What is a man, that thou shouldst magnify him or why dost thou set thy heart upon him? Job 7:17
Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just? Job 8:3
In so much, that if thy former things were small thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly. Job 8:7
(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow Job 8:9
Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish: Job 8:13
For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth. Job 8:19
They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand. Job 8:22

Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness. Pr. 16:22
There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death. Pr. 16:25
The soul of him that laboureth, laboureth for himself, because his mouth hath obliged him to it. Pr. 16:26
An unjust man allureth his friend: and leadeth him into a way that is not good. Pr. 16:29
He that with fixed eyes deviseth wicked things, biting his lips, bringeth evil to pass. Pr. 16:30

He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his maker: and he that rejoiceth at another man's ruin, shall not be unpunished. Pr. 17:5
The expectation of him that expecteth is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely. Pr. 17:8
He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends. Pr. 17:9
He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. Pr. 17:13
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God. Pr. 17:15
What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils. Pr. 17:16
He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress. Pr. 17:17
He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin. Pr. 17:19
He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil. Pr. 17:20
The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment. Pr. 17:23
A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him. Pr. 17:25
He that setteth bounds to his words, is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit. Pr. 17:27
He that hath a mind to depart from a friend, seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach. Pr. 18:1
He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works. Pr. 18:9
He that answereth before he heareth, sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion. Pr. 18:13
The spirit of a man upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear? Pr. 18:14
A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities. Pr. 18:19
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof. Pr. 18:21
He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked. Pr. 18:22
Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips and unwise. Pr. 19:1
Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble. Pr. 19:2

A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish. Pr. 19:9

He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy. Pr. 19:26
As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul. Pr. 20:2
The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children. Pr. 20:7

Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers. Pr. 20:16

A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants. Pr. 21:16
He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich. Pr. 21:17
He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory. Pr. 21:21
He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress. Pr. 21:23
He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease. Pr. 21:26
The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way. Pr. 21:29
Arms and swords are in the way of the perverse: but he that keepeth his own soul, departeth far from them. Pr. 22:5

He that soweth iniquity, shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed. Pr. 22:8

He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend. Pr. 22:11
He that oppresseth the poor, to increase his own riches, shall himself give to one that is richer, and shall be in need. Pr. 22:16

That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee. Pr. 22:21
Because the Lord will judge his cause: and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul. Pr. 22:23

For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there that he should take the covering from thy bed? Pr. 22:27
Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure. Pr. 22:29
And put a knife to thy throat, if it be so that thou have thy soul in thy own power. Pr. 23:2

For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince. Pr. 25:7
As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear. Pr. 25:12
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul. Pr. 25:13
As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfil his promises. Pr. 25:14
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour, is like a dart and a sword and a sharp arrow. Pr. 25:18
And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart. Pr. 25:20
As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty shall be overwhelmed by glory. Pr. 25:27
As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking. Pr. 25:28
He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity. Pr. 26:6
As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool. Pr. 26:8
Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger. Pr. 26:10
As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly. Pr. 26:11
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences. Pr. 26:16
As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man's quarrel. Pr. 26:17
As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death. Pr. 26:18
So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest. Pr. 26:19
He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly. Pr. 26:26
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him. Pr. 26:27
A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet. Pr. 27:7
As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place. Pr. 27:8
Thy own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not: and go not into thy brother's house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near than a brother afar off. Pr. 27:10
Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth. Pr. 27:11
Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers. Pr. 27:13
He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth. Pr. 27:14
He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call the oil of his right hand. Pr. 27:16
He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified. Pr. 27:18
As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so the hearts of men are laid open to the wise. Pr. 27:19
As silver is tried in the fining-pot, and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge. Pr. 27:21
For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged. Pr. 28:2
A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine. Pr. 28:3
They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him. Pr. 28:4
Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things. Pr. 28:5
He that keepeth the law, is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father. Pr. 28:7
He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor. Pr. 28:8
He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be an abomination. Pr. 28:9
He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods. Pr. 28:10
The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out. Pr. 28:11
He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy. Pr. 28:13
Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind shall fall into evil. Pr. 28:14
A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days. Pr. 28:16
A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him. Pr. 28:17
He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways, shall fall at once. Pr. 28:18
He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness, shall be filled with poverty. Pr. 28:19
A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent. Pr. 28:20
He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth. Pr. 28:21
A man that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him. Pr. 28:22
He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him. Pr. 28:23
He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer. Pr. 28:24
He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. Pr. 28:25
He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved. Pr. 28:26
He that giveth to the poor shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence. Pr. 28:27
The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him. Pr. 29:1
A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth harlots, shall squander away his substance. Pr. 29:3
A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet. Pr. 29:5
A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked. Pr. 29:12
The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever. Pr. 29:14
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will, bringeth his mother to shame. Pr. 29:15
When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law, is blessed. Pr. 29:18
He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn. Pr. 29:21
A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin. Pr. 29:22
He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not. Pr. 29:24
He that feareth man shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high. Pr. 29:25
The just abhor a wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction. Pr. 29:27
Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him. Pr. 30:5
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. Pr. 30:11
A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness. Pr. 30:12
A generation that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men. Pr. 30:14
The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough. Pr. 30:15
The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it. Pr. 30:17
There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily: Pr. 30:29
There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth. Pr. 30:32
And he that strongly squeezeth the paps to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath, bringeth forth strife. Pr. 30:33
Give strong drink to them that are sad; and wine to them that are grieved in mind: Pr. 31:6
Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass. Pr. 31:8
Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor. Pr. 31:9
She hath tasted, and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night. Pr. 31:18
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Pr. 31:30
What hath a man more of all his labour, that he taketh under the sun? Eccl. 1:3
What is it that hath been? the same thing that shall be. What is it that hath been done? the same that shall be done. Eccl. 1:9
Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us. Eccl. 1:10
There is no remembrance of former things: nor indeed of those things which hereafter are to come, shall there be any remembrance with them that shall be in the latter end. Eccl. 1:11
And I proposed in my mind to seek and search out wisely concerning all things that are done under the sun. This painful occupation hath God given to the children of men, to be exercised therein. Eccl. 1:13
I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 1:14
I have spoken in my heart, saying: Behold I am become great, and have gone beyond all in wisdom, that were before me in Jerusalem: and my mind hath contemplated many things wisely, and I have learned. Eccl. 1:16
And I have given my heart to know prudence, and learning, and errors, and folly: and I have perceived that in these also there was labour, and vexation of spirit, Eccl. 1:17
Because in much wisdom there is much indignation: and he that addeth knowledge, addeth also labour. Eccl. 1:18
¤ I said in my heart: I will go, and abound with delights, and enjoy good things. And I saw that this also was vanity. Eccl. 2:1
I thought in my heart, to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I might turn my mind to wisdom, and might avoid folly, till I might see what was profitable for the children of men: and what they ought to do under the sun, all the days of their life. Eccl. 2:3
I got me menservants, and maidservants, and had a great family: and herds of oxen, and great flocks of sheep, above all that were before me in Jerusalem: Eccl. 2:7
And I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me. Eccl. 2:9
And when I turned myself to all the works which my hands had wrought, and to the labours wherein I had laboured in vain, I saw in all things vanity, and vexation of mind, and that nothing was lasting under the sun. Eccl. 2:11
I passed further to behold wisdom, and errors and folly, (What is man, said I that he can follow the King his maker?) Eccl. 2:12
And I saw that wisdom excelled folly, as much as light differeth from darkness. Eccl. 2:13
The eyes of a wise man are in his head: the fool walketh in darkness: and I learned that they were to die both alike. Eccl. 2:14
And I said in my heart: If the death of the fool and mine shall be one, what doth it avail me, that I have applied myself more to the study of wisdom? And speaking with my own mind, I perceived that this also was vanity. Eccl. 2:15
And therefore I was weary of my life, when I saw that all things under the sun are evil, and all vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 2:17
God hath given to a man that is good in his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he hath given vexation, and superfluous care, to heap up and to gather together, and to give it to him that hath pleased God: but this also is vanity, and a fruitless solicitude of the mind. Eccl. 2:26
A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. Eccl. 3:2
He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot find out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end. Eccl. 3:11
And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life. Eccl. 3:12
For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God. Eccl. 3:13
I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared. Eccl. 3:14
That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past. Eccl. 3:15
I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts. Eccl. 3:18
And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him? Eccl. 3:22
¤ I turned myself to other things, and I saw the oppressions that are done under the sun, and the tears of the innocent, and they had no comforter; and they were not able to resist their violence, being destitute of help from any. Eccl. 4:1
And I judged him happier than them both, that is not yet born, nor hath seen the evils that are done under the sun. Eccl. 4:3
Again I considered all the labours of men, and I remarked that their industries are exposed to the envy of their neighbour: so in this also there is vanity, and fruitless care. Eccl. 4:4
It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society: Eccl. 4:9
If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up. Eccl. 4:10
Better is a child that is poor and wise, than a king that is old and foolish, who knoweth not to foresee for hereafter. Eccl. 4:13
I saw all men living, that walk under the sun with the second young man, who shall rise up in his place. Eccl. 4:15
The number of the people, of all that were before him is infinite: and they that shall come afterwards, shall not rejoice in him: but this also is vanity, and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 4:16
If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these: Eccl. 5:8
Moreover there is the king that reigneth over all the land subject to him. Eccl. 5:9
A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity. Eccl. 5:10
Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes? Eccl. 5:11
A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind? Eccl. 5:16
This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion. Eccl. 5:18
¤ There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men: Eccl. 6:1
A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery. Eccl. 6:2
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he. Eccl. 6:3
Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit. Eccl. 6:9
He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself. Eccl. 6:10
There are many words that have much vanity in disputing. Eccl. 6:11
What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun? Eccl. 6:12
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come. Eccl. 7:2
Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish. Eccl. 7:10
Wisdom with riches is more profitable, and bringeth more advantage to them that see the sun. Eccl. 7:11
For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them. Eccl. 7:12
Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised. Eccl. 7:13
In the good day enjoy good things, and beware beforehand of the evil day: for God hath made both the one and the other, that man may not find against him any just complaint. Eccl. 7:14
It is good that thou shouldst hold up the just, yea and from him withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God, neglecteth nothing. Eccl. 7:18
For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not. Eccl. 7:20
But do not apply thy heart to all words that are spoken: lest perhaps thou hear thy servant reviling thee. Eccl. 7:21
For thy conscience knoweth that thou also hast often spoken evil of others. Eccl. 7:22
And I have found a woman more bitter than death, who is the hunter's snare, and her heart is a net, and her hands are bands. He that pleaseth God shall escape from her: but he that is a sinner, shall be caught by her. Eccl. 7:26
Lo this have I found, said Ecclesiastes, weighing one thing after another, that I might find out the account, Eccl. 7:27
Only this I have found, that God made man right, and he hath entangled himself with an infinity of questions. Who is as the wise man? and who hath known the resolution of the word? Eccl. 7:29
Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him: Eccl. 8:3
He that keepeth the commandment, shall find no evil. The heart of a wise man understandeth time and answer. Eccl. 8:5
All these things I have considered, and applied my heart to all the works that are done under the sun. Sometimes one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. Eccl. 8:9
But though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and by patience be borne withal, I know from thence that it shall be well with them that fear God, who dread his face. Eccl. 8:12
But let it not be well with the wicked, neither let his days be prolonged, but as a shadow let them pass away that fear not the face of the Lord. Eccl. 8:13
Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun. Eccl. 8:15
And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to understand the distraction that is upon earth: for there are some that day and night take no sleep with their eyes. Eccl. 8:16
And I understood that man can find no reason of all those works of God that are done under the sun: and the more he shall labour to seek, so much the less shall he find: yea, though the wise man shall say, that he knoweth it, he shall not be able to find it. Eccl. 8:17
¤ All these things have I considered in my heart, that I might carefully understand them: there are just men and wise men, and their works are in the hand of God: and yet man knoweth not whether he be worthy of love, or hatred: Eccl. 9:1
But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth. Eccl. 9:2
This is a very great evil among all things that are done under the sun, that the same things happen to all men: whereby also the hearts of the children of men are filled with evil, and with contempt while they live, and afterwards they shall be brought down to hell. Eccl. 9:3
There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion. Eccl. 9:4
For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten. Eccl. 9:5
Their love also, and their hatred, and their envy are all perished, neither have they any part in this world, and in the work that is done under the sun. Eccl. 9:6
I turned me to another thing, and I saw that under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the learned, nor favour to the skilful: but time and chance in all. Eccl. 9:11
Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, and he delivered the city by his wisdom, and no man afterward remembered that poor man. Eccl. 9:15
And I said that wisdom is better than strength: how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, and his words not heard? Eccl. 9:16
Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: and he that shall offend in one, shall lose many good things. Eccl. 9:18
If the spirit of him that hath power, ascend upon thee, leave not thy place: because care will make the greatest sins to cease. Eccl. 10:4
There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were by an error proceeding from the face of the prince: Eccl. 10:5
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Eccl. 10:8
He that removeth stones, shall be hurt by them: and he that cutteth trees, shall be wounded by them. Eccl. 10:9
If a serpent bite in silence, he is nothing better that backbiteth secretly. Eccl. 10:11
The labour of fools shall afflict them that know not how to go to the city. Eccl. 10:15
For laughter they make bread, and wine that the living may feast: and all things obey money. Eccl. 10:19
Detract not the king, no not in thy thought; and speak not evil of the rich man in thy private chamber: because even the birds of the air will carry thy voice, and he that hath wings will tell what thou hast said. Eccl. 10:20
He that observeth the wind, shall not sow: and he that considereth the clouds, shall never reap. Eccl. 11:4
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones are joined together in the womb of her that is with child: so thou knowest not the works of God, who is the maker of all. Eccl. 11:5
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better. Eccl. 11:6
Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment. Eccl. 11:9
When the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall stagger, and the grinders shall be idle in a small number, and they that look through the holes shall be darkened: Eccl. 12:3
And whereas Ecclesiastes was very wise, he taught the people, and declared the things that he had done: and seeking out, he set forth many parables. Eccl. 12:9
And all things that are done, God will bring into judgment for every error, whether it be good or evil. Eccl. 12:14
Do not consider me that I am brown, because the sun hath altered my colour: the sons of my mother have fought against me, they have made me the keeper in the vineyards: my vineyard I have not kept. Cant. 1:6
I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the harts of the field, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake, till she please. Cant. 2:7
Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished. Cant. 2:15
When I had a little passed by them, I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him: and I will not let him go, till I bring him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that bore me. Cant. 3:4
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes and the harts of the fields, that you stir not up, nor awake my beloved, till she please. Cant. 3:5
Who is she that goeth up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh, and frankincense, and of all the powders of the perfumer? Cant. 3:6
Thy teeth as flocks of sheep, that are shorn, which come up from the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them. Cant. 4:2
Thy lips are as a scarlet lace: and thy speech sweet. Thy cheeks are as a piece of a pomegranate, besides that which lieth hid within. Cant. 4:3
Thy two breasts like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. Cant. 4:5
The keepers that go about the city found me: they struck me: and wounded me: the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. Cant. 5:7
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him that I languish with love. Cant. 5:8
What manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved, O thou most beautiful among women? what manner of one is thy beloved of the beloved, that thou hast so adjured us? Cant. 5:9
His legs as pillars of marble, that are set upon bases of gold. His form as of Libanus, excellent as the cedars. Cant. 5:15
Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad. Cant. 6:5
One is my dove, my perfect one is but one, she is the only one of her mother, the chosen of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and declared her most blessed: the queens and concubines, and they praised her. Cant. 6:9
Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array? Cant. 6:10
Return, return, O Sulamitess: return, return that we may behold thee. Cant. 6:13
¤ What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps? How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince's daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skilful workman. Cant. 7:1
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. Cant. 7:3
Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus. Cant. 7:4
¤ Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me? Cant. 8:1
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor awake my love till she please. Cant. 8:4
Who is this that cometh up from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I raised thee up: there thy mother was corrupted, there she was defloured that bore thee. Cant. 8:5
The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver. Cant. 8:11
My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof. Cant. 8:12
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the friends hearken: make me hear thy voice. Cant. 8:13
‡ ¤ Love justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in simplicity of heart: Wis. 1:1
For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him. Wis. 1:2
For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in. Wis. 1:5
For the Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world: and that which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. Wis. 1:7
Therefore he that speaketh unjust things, cannot be hid, neither shall the chastising judgment pass him by. Wis. 1:8
Keep yourselves, therefore, from murmuring, which profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul. Wis. 1:11
For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth. Wis. 1:14
Come, therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth. Wis. 2:6
But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. Wis. 2:11
He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God. Wis. 2:13
We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. Wis. 2:16
Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness, and try his patience. Wis. 2:19
And they follow him that are of his side. Wis. 2:25
They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect. Wis. 3:9
For he that rejecteth wisdom, and discipline, is unhappy: and their hope is vain, and their labours without fruit, and their works unprofitable. Wis. 3:11
Their offspring is cursed, for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin, she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls. Wis. 3:13
And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God. Wis. 3:14
For the children that are born of unlawful beds, are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial. Wis. 4:6
For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs. Wis. 4:8
That the grace of God, and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen. Wis. 4:15
But the just that is dead, condemneth the wicked that are living, and youth soon ended, the long life of the unjust. Wis. 4:16
¤ Then shall the just stand with great constancy against those that have afflicted them, and taken away their labours. Wis. 5:1
All those things are passed away like a shadow, and like a post that runneth on, Wis. 5:9
And as a ship, that passeth through the waves: whereof when it is gone by, the trace cannot be found, nor the path of its keel in the waters: Wis. 5:10
Or as when an arrow is shot at a mark, the divided air quickly cometh together again, so that the passage thereof is not known: Wis. 5:12
For the hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind: and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by. Wis. 5:15
Hear, therefore, ye kings, and understand, learn ye that are judges of the ends of the earth. Wis. 6:2
Give ear, you that rule the people, and that please yourselves in multitudes of nations: Wis. 6:3
Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. Wis. 6:6
For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall be mightily tormented. Wis. 6:7
To you, therefore, O kings, are these my words, that you may learn wisdom, and not fall from it. Wis. 6:10
For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer. Wis. 6:11
Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away, and is easily seen by them that love her, and is found by them that seek her. Wis. 6:13
She preventeth them that covet her, so that she first sheweth herself unto them. Wis. 6:14
He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door. Wis. 6:15
To think, therefore, upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure. Wis. 6:16
If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever. Wis. 6:22
Love the light of wisdom, all ye that bear rule over peoples. Wis. 6:23
¤ I myself am a mortal man, like all others, and of the race of him, that was first made of the earth, and in the womb of my mother I was fashioned to be flesh. Wis. 7:1
And being born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, that is made alike, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. Wis. 7:3
And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all. Wis. 7:12
For she is an infinite treasure to men: which they that use, become the friends of God, being commended for the gift of discipline. Wis. 7:14
And God hath given to me to speak as I would, and to conceive thoughts worthy of those things that are given me: because he is the guide of wisdom, and the director of the wise: Wis. 7:15
For he hath given me the true knowledge of the things that are: to know the disposition of the whole world, and the virtues of the elements, Wis. 7:17
For in her is the spirit of understanding; holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent, Wis. 7:22
For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. Wis. 7:28
For it is she that teacheth the knowledge of God and is the chooser of his works. Wis. 8:4
And if sense do work: who is a more artful worker than she of those things that are? Wis. 8:6
I purposed, therefore, to take her to me to live with me: knowing that she will communicate to me of her good things, and will be a comfort in my cares and grief. Wis. 8:9
Moreover, by the means of her I shall have immortality: and shall leave behind me an everlasting memory to them that come after me. Wis. 8:13
Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality, Wis. 8:17
And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself. Wis. 8:18
And as I knew that I could not otherwise be continent, except God gave it, and this also was a point of wisdom, to know whose gift it was, I went to the Lord, and besought him, and said with my whole heart: Wis. 8:21
And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee, Wis. 9:2
That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart: Wis. 9:3
Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children: Wis. 9:4
Send her out of thy holy heaven, and from the throne of thy majesty, that she may be with me, and may labour with me, that I may know what is acceptable with thee: Wis. 9:10
For who among men is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of God is? Wis. 9:13
For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul, and the earthly habitation presseth down the mind that museth upon many things. Wis. 9:15
And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth: and with labour do we find the things that are before us. But the things that are in heaven, who shall search out? Wis. 9:16
And so the ways of them that are upon earth may be corrected, and men may learn the things that please thee? Wis. 9:18
¤ She preserved him, that was first formed by God, the father of the world, when he was created alone, Wis. 10:1
She delivered the just man, who fled from the wicked that were perishing, when the fire came down upon Pentapolis: Wis. 10:6
Whose land, for a testimony of their wickedness, is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul. Wis. 10:7
For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things; but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid. Wis. 10:8
But wisdom hath delivered from sorrow them that attend upon her. Wis. 10:9
In the deceit of them that overreached him, she stood by him, and made him honourable. Wis. 10:11
She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. Wis. 10:12
And in bands she left him not, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: and shewed them to be liars that had accused him, and gave him everlasting glory. Wis. 10:14
She delivered the just people, and blameless seed, from the nations that oppressed them. Wis. 10:15
They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents. Wis. 11:2
Shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries. Wis. 11:9
For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass. Wis. 11:14
For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. Wis. 11:15
That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented. Wis. 11:17
For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth. Wis. 11:23
For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it. Wis. 11:25
And therefore thou chastisest them that err, by little and little: and admonishest them, and speakest to them, concerning the things wherein they offend: that leaving their wickedness, they may believe in thee, O Lord. Wis. 12:2
That the land which of all is most dear to thee, might receive a worthy colony of the children of God. Wis. 12:7
Not that thou wast unable to bring the wicked under the just by war, or by cruel beasts, or with one rough word to destroy them at once: Wis. 12:9
But executing thy judgments by degrees, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed. Wis. 12:10
For there is no other God but thou, who hast care of all, that thou shouldst shew that thou dost not give judgment unjustly. Wis. 12:13
For thou shewest thy power, when men will not believe thee to be absolute in power, and thou convincest the boldness of them that know thee not. Wis. 12:17
But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging, thou givest place for repentance for sins. Wis. 12:19
For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy servants, and that deserved to die, with so great deliberation, giving them time and place whereby they might be changed from their wickedness: Wis. 12:20
Therefore whereas thou chastisest us, thou scourgest our enemies very many ways, to the end that when we judge we may think on thy goodness: and when we are judged, we may hope for thy mercy. Wis. 12:22
But they that were not amended by mockeries and reprehensions, experienced the worthy judgment of God. Wis. 12:26
For seeing, with indignation, that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them. Wis. 12:27
¤ But all men are vain, in whom there is not the knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is, neither by attending to the works have acknowledged who was the workman: Wis. 13:1
But have imagined either the fire, or the wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the great water, or the sun and moon, to be the gods that rule the world. Wis. 13:2
Or if they admired their power, and their effects, let them understand by them, that he that made them, is mightier than they: Wis. 13:4
For being conversant among his works, they search: and they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. Wis. 13:7
Or the resemblance of some beast, laying it over with vermillion, and painting it red, and covering every spot that is in it: Wis. 13:14
Providing for it, lest it should fall, knowing that it is unable to help itself: for it is an image, and hath need of help. Wis. 13:16
And then maketh prayer to it, inquiring concerning his substance, and his children, or his marriage. And he is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life: Wis. 13:17
And for health he maketh supplication to the weak, and for life prayeth to that which is dead, and for help calleth upon that which is unprofitable: Wis. 13:18
And for a good journey he petitioneth him that cannot walk: and for getting, and for working, and for the event of all things he asketh him that is unable to do any thing. Wis. 13:19
¤ Again, another designing to sail, and beginning to make his voyage through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more frail than the wood that carrieth him. Wis. 14:1
Shewing that thou art able to save out of all things, yea, though a man went to sea without art. Wis. 14:4
But that the works of thy wisdom might not be idle: therefore men also trust their lives even to a little wood, and passing over the sea by ship, are saved. Wis. 14:5
But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god. Wis. 14:8
For that which is made, together with him that made it, shall suffer torments. Wis. 14:10
And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent. Wis. 14:17
For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. Wis. 14:19
And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god, that a little before was but honoured as a man. Wis. 14:20
So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery: Wis. 14:24
For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy greatness: and if we sin not, we know that we are counted with thee. Wis. 15:2
The lovers of evil things deserve to have no better things to trust in, both they that make them, and they that love them, and they that worship them. Wis. 15:6
The potter also tempering soft earth, with labour fashioneth every vessel for our service, and of the same clay he maketh both vessels that are for clean uses, and likewise such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of these vessels, the potter is the judge. Wis. 15:7
But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things. Wis. 15:9
Forasmuch as he knew not his maker, and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit. Wis. 15:11
Yea, and they have counted our life a pastime and the business of life to be gain, and that we must be getting every way, even out of evil. Wis. 15:12
For that man knoweth that he offendeth above all others, who of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels, and graven gods. Wis. 15:13
But all the enemies of thy people that hold them in subjection, are foolish, and unhappy, and proud beyond measure: Wis. 15:14
For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself. Wis. 15:16
To the end, that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loath even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat. Wis. 16:3
For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed. Wis. 16:4
For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee, the Saviour of all. Wis. 16:7
And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil. Wis. 16:8
For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster, that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things. Wis. 16:12
For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again: Wis. 16:13
A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received: Wis. 16:14
For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire. Wis. 16:16
For at one time the fire was mitigated, that the beasts which were sent against the wicked might not be burnt, but that they might see, and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God. Wis. 16:18
Instead of which things, thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven, prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste. Wis. 16:20
But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that the fire, burning in the hail, and flashing in the rain, destroyed the fruits of the enemies. Wis. 16:22
But this same again, that the just might be nourished, did even forget its own strength. Wis. 16:23
For the creature serving thee, the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment: and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee. Wis. 16:24
Therefore even then it was transformed into all things, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all, according to the will of them that desired it of thee: Wis. 16:25
That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovedst, might know that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth men, but thy word preserveth them that believe in thee. Wis. 16:26
For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, presently melted away: Wis. 16:27
That it might be known to all, that we ought to prevent the sun to bless thee, and adore thee at the dawning of the light. Wis. 16:28
For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them. Wis. 17:4
And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night. Wis. 17:5
But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse: Wis. 17:6
For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided. Wis. 17:9
And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment. Wis. 17:12
But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep, Wis. 17:13
Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear. Wis. 17:18
But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness. Wis. 17:20
And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference. Wis. 18:2
For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage. Wis. 18:6
For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers. Wis. 18:9
But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed. Wis. 18:10
For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish, and not know why they suffered these evils. Wis. 18:19
For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. Wis. 18:21
And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oath and covenant made with the fathers. Wis. 18:22
For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments: Wis. 19:4
And that thy people might wonderfully pass through, but they might find a new death. Wis. 19:5
For every creature, according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, obeying thy commandments, that thy children might be kept without hurt. Wis. 19:6
For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them. Wis. 19:13
For the things of the land were turned into things of the water: and the things that before swam in the water passed upon the land. Wis. 19:18
On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice. For in all things thou didst magnify thy people, O Lord, and didst honour them, and didst not despise them, but didst assist them at all times, and in every place. Wis. 19:20
Who hath searched out the wisdom of God that goeth before all things? Sir. 1:3
And he poured her out upon all his works, and upon all flesh according to his gift, and hath given her to them that love him. Sir. 1:10
With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:13
It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:19
Wisdom shall distribute knowledge, and understanding of prudence: and exalteth the glory of them that hold her. Sir. 1:24
For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin. Sir. 1:28
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline: and that which is agreeable to him, Sir. 1:34
Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end. Sir. 2:3
Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience. Sir. 2:4
Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy: and go not aside from him lest ye fall. Sir. 2:7
Ye that fear the Lord, believe him: and your reward shall not be made void. Sir. 2:8
Ye that fear the Lord hope in him, and mercy shall come to you for your delight. Sir. 2:9
Ye that fear the Lord, love him, and your hearts shall be enlightened. Sir. 2:10
My children behold the generations of men: and know ye that no one hath hoped in the Lord, and hath been confounded. Sir. 2:11
For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth. Sir. 2:13
Woe to them that are of a double heart and to wicked lips, and to the hands that do evil, and to the sinner that goeth on the earth two ways. Sir. 2:14
Woe to them that are fainthearted, who believe not God: and therefore they shall not be protected by him. Sir. 2:15
Woe to them that have lost patience, and that have forsaken the right ways, and have gone aside into crooked ways. Sir. 2:16
They that fear the Lord, will not be incredulous to his word: and they that love him, will keep his way. Sir. 2:18
They that fear the Lord, will seek after the things that are well pleasing to him: and they that love him, shall be filled with his law. Sir. 2:19
They that fear the Lord, will prepare their hearts, and in his sight will sanctify their souls, Sir. 2:20
They that fear the Lord, keep his commandments, and will have patience even until his visitation, Sir. 2:21
Children, hear the judgment of your father, and so do that you may be saved. Sir. 3:2
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. Sir. 3:4
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure. Sir. 3:5
He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard. Sir. 3:6
He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother. Sir. 3:7
He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world. Sir. 3:8
That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end. Sir. 3:10
Of what an evil fame is he that forsaketh his father: and he is cursed of God that angereth his mother. Sir. 3:18
Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. Sir. 3:22
For it is not necessary for thee to see with thy eyes those things that are hid. Sir. 3:23
A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it. Sir. 3:27
A heart that goeth two ways shall not have success, and the perverse of heart shall be scandalized therein. Sir. 3:28
And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay. Sir. 3:34
Afflict not the heart of the needy, and defer not to give to him that is in distress. Sir. 4:3
Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back. Sir. 4:5
For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. Sir. 4:6
Deliver him that suffereth wrong out of the hand of the proud: and be not fainthearted in thy soul. Sir. 4:9
Wisdom inspireth life into her children, and protecteth them that seek after her, and will go before them in the way of justice. Sir. 4:12
And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness. Sir. 4:13
They that hold her fast, shall inherit life: and whithersoever she entereth, God will give a blessing. Sir. 4:14
They that serve her, shall be servants to the holy one: and God loveth them that love her. Sir. 4:15
He that hearkeneth to her, shall judge nations: and he that looketh upon her, shall remain secure. Sir. 4:16
For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame that bringeth glory and grace. Sir. 4:25
Be not as a lion in thy house, terrifying them of thy household, and oppressing them that are under thee. Sir. 4:35
Be meek to hear the word, that thou mayst understand: and return a true answer with wisdom. Sir. 5:13
¤ Instead of a friend become not an enemy to thy neighbour: for an evil man shall inherit reproach and shame, so shall every sinner that is envious and double tongued. Sir. 6:1
For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked. Sir. 6:4
And there is a friend that turneth to enmity; and there is a friend that will disclose hatred and strife and reproaches. Sir. 6:9
A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure. Sir. 6:14
A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him. Sir. 6:16
He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be. Sir. 6:17
Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: Sir. 6:19
Stand in the multitude of ancients that are wise, and join thyself from thy heart to their wisdom, that thou mayst hear every discourse of God, and the sayings of praise may not escape thee. Sir. 6:35
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one that humbleth and exalteth, God who seeth all. Sir. 7:12
Hurt not the servant that worketh faithfully, nor the hired man that giveth thee his life. Sir. 7:22
If thou hast a wife according to thy soul, cast her not off: and to her that is hateful, trust not thyself. With thy whole heart, Sir. 7:28
Remember that thou hadst not been born but through them: and make a return to them as they have done for thee. Sir. 7:30
With all thy strength love him that made thee: and forsake not his ministers. Sir. 7:32
And stretch out thy hand to the poor, that thy expiation and thy blessing may be perfected. Sir. 7:36
Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that mourn. Sir. 7:38
Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. Sir. 8:4
Despise not a man that turneth away from sin, nor reproach him therewith: remember that we are all worthy of reproof. Sir. 8:6
Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death. Sir. 8:8
Despise not the discourse of them that are ancient and wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs. Sir. 8:9
Lend not to a man that is mightier than thyself: and if thou lendest, count it as lost. Sir. 8:15
Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just. Sir. 8:17
Look not upon a woman that hath a mind for many: lest thou fall into her snares. Sir. 9:3
Use not much the company of her that is a dancer, and hearken not to her, lest thou perish by the force of her charms. Sir. 9:4
Every woman that is a harlot, shall be trodden upon as dung in the way. Sir. 9:10
Be not pleased with the wrong done by the unjust, knowing that even to hell the wicked shall not please. Sir. 9:17
Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill, so thou shalt not suspect the fear of death. Sir. 9:18
Know it to be a communication with death: for thou art going in the midst of snares, and walking upon the arms of them that are grieved. Sir. 9:20
A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful. Sir. 9:25
As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. Sir. 10:2
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Sir. 10:15
God hath abolished the memory of the proud, and hath preserved the memory of them that are humble in mind. Sir. 10:21
That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord. Sir. 10:23
In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. Sir. 10:24
Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich. Sir. 10:26
The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. Sir. 10:27
They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. Sir. 10:28
Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread. Sir. 10:30
Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? Sir. 10:32
The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear, and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. Sir. 10:33
But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty. Sir. 10:34
There is an ungodly man that laboureth, and maketh haste, and is in sorrow, and is so much the more in want. Sir. 11:11
Again, there is an inactive man that wanteth help, is very weak in ability, and full of poverty: Sir. 11:12
Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil. Sir. 11:16
There is one that is enriched by living sparingly, and this is the portion of his reward. Sir. 11:18
In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: Sir. 11:19
And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die. Sir. 11:20
For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour. Sir. 11:32
For there is no good for him that is always occupied in evil, and that giveth no alms: for the Highest hateth sinners, and hath mercy on the penitent. Sir. 12:3
Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins. Sir. 12:13
¤ He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride. Sir. 13:1
He shall take a burden upon him that hath fellowship with one more honourable than himself. And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself. Sir. 13:2
Beware that thou be not deceived into folly, and be humbled. Sir. 13:10
If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more. Sir. 13:12
Every beast loveth its like: so also every man him that is nearest to himself. Sir. 13:19
Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly. Sir. 13:30
¤ Blessed is the man that hath not slipped by a word out of his mouth, and is not pricked with the remorse of sin. Sir. 14:1
Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope. Sir. 14:2
He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. Sir. 14:4
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? and he shall not take pleasure in his goods. Sir. 14:5
There is none worse than he that envieth himself, and this is the reward of his wickedness: Sir. 14:6
Remember that death is not slow, and that the covenant of hell hath been shewn to thee: for the covenant of this world shall surely die. Sir. 14:12
All flesh shall fade as grass, and as the leaf that springeth out on a green tree. Sir. 14:18
Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it. Sir. 14:20
Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom, and that shall meditate in his justice, and in his mind shall think of the all seeing eye of God. Sir. 14:22
He that considereth her ways in his heart, and hath understanding in her secrets, who goeth after her as one that traceth, and stayeth in her ways. Sir. 14:23
He that lodgeth near her house, and fastening a pin in her walls shall set up his tent nigh unto her, where good things shall rest in his lodging for ever. Sir. 14:25
¤ He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, Sir. 15:1
Lying men shall not be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God. Sir. 15:8
Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. Sir. 15:11
The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. Sir. 15:13
Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: Sir. 15:18
The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man. Sir. 15:20
For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children. Sir. 16:3
By one that is wise a country shall be inhabited, the tribe of the ungodly shall become desolate. Sir. 16:5
He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled themselves in their sins. Sir. 16:10
The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off. Sir. 16:14
Behold the heaven, and the heavens of heavens, the deep, and all the earth, and the things that are in them, shall be moved in his sight, Sir. 16:18
He that wanteth understanding thinketh vain things, and the foolish, and erring man, thinketh foolish things. Sir. 16:23
And I will shew forth good doctrine in equity, and will seek to declare wisdom: and attend to my words in thy heart, whilst with equity of spirit I tell thee the virtues that God hath put upon his works from the beginning, and I shew forth in truth his knowledge. Sir. 16:25
He gave him the number of his days and time, and gave him power over all things that are upon the earth. Sir. 17:3
That they might praise the name which he hath sanctified: and glory in his wondrous acts that they might declare the glorious things of his works. Sir. 17:8
But to the penitent he hath given the way of justice, and he hath strengthened them that were fainting in patience, and hath appointed to them the lot of truth. Sir. 17:20
Go to the side of the holy age, with them that live and give praise to God. Sir. 17:25
How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his forgiveness to them that turn to him ! Sir. 17:28
What is brighter than the sun; yet it shall be eclipsed. Or what is more wicked than that which flesh and blood hath invented? and this shall be reproved. Sir. 17:30
¤ He that liveth for ever created all things together. God only shall be justified, and he remaineth an invincible king for ever. Sir. 18:1
He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil. Sir. 18:10
He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments. Sir. 18:14
Before prayer prepare thy soul: and be not as a man that tempteth God. Sir. 18:23
Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face. Sir. 18:24
Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise to him that findeth her. Sir. 18:28
They that were of good understanding in words, have also done wisely themselves: and have understood truth and justice, and have poured forth proverbs and judgments. Sir. 18:29
¤ A workman that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little. Sir. 19:1
And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number. Sir. 19:3
He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised. Sir. 19:4
He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil. Sir. 19:5
He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned. Sir. 19:6
Hast thou heard a word against thy neighbour? let it die within thee, trusting that it will not burst thee. Sir. 19:10
As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh: so is a word in the heart of a fool. Sir. 19:12
Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: I did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more. Sir. 19:13
Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again. Sir. 19:14
And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart. Sir. 19:16
For who is there that hath not offended with his tongue? Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him. Sir. 19:17
There is a subtle wickedness, and the same is detestable: and there is a man that is foolish, wanting in wisdom. Sir. 19:20
Better is a man that hath less wisdom, and wanteth understanding, with the fear of God, than he that aboundeth in understanding, and transgresseth the law of the most High. Sir. 19:21
And there is one that uttereth an exact word telling the truth. There is one that humbleth himself wickedly, and his interior is full of deceit: Sir. 19:23
And there is one that submitteth himself exceedingly with a great lowliness: and there is one that casteth down his countenance, and maketh as if he did not see that which is unknown: Sir. 19:24
There is a lying rebuke in the anger of an injurious man: and there is a judgment that is not allowed to be good: and there is one that holdeth his peace, he is wise. Sir. 19:28
¤ How much better is it to reprove, than to be angry, and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer. Sir. 20:1
So is he that by violence executeth of the unwise. Sir. 20:3
There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech. Sir. 20:5
There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time. Sir. 20:6
He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated. Sir. 20:8
There is success in evil things to a man without discipline, and there is a finding that turneth to loss. Sir. 20:9
There is a gift that is not profitable: and there is a gift, the recompense of which is double. Sir. 20:10
There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate. Sir. 20:11
There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold. Sir. 20:12
For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn! Sir. 20:18
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had. Sir. 20:19
The slipping of a false tongue is as one that falleth on the pavement: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily. Sir. 20:20
There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked. Sir. 20:23
There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself. Sir. 20:24
There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing. Sir. 20:25
A thief is better than a man that is always lying: but both of them shall inherit destruction. Sir. 20:27
He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity. Sir. 20:30
Presents and gifts blind the eyes of judges, and make them dumb in the mouth, so that they cannot correct. Sir. 20:31
O Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is not seen: what profit is there in them both? Sir. 20:32
Better is he that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom. Sir. 20:33
¤ My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more: but for thy former sins also pray that they may be forgiven thee. Sir. 21:1
Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of the proud shall be rooted out. Sir. 21:5
He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart. Sir. 21:7
He that is mighty by a bold tongue is known afar off, but a wise man knoweth to slip by him. Sir. 21:8
He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. Sir. 21:9
He that keepeth justice shall get the understanding thereof. Sir. 21:12
He that is not wise in good, will not be taught. Sir. 21:14
But there is a wisdom that aboundeth in evil: and there is no understanding where there is bitterness. Sir. 21:15
As a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as words without sense. Sir. 21:21
A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without. Sir. 21:26
The talebearer shall defile his own soul, and shall be hated by all: and he that shall abide with him shall be hateful: the silent and wise man shall be honoured. Sir. 21:31
The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands. Sir. 22:2
A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that confoundeth, becometh a disgrace to her father. Sir. 22:4
She that is bold shameth both her father and husband, and will not be inferior to the ungodly: and shall be disgraced by them both. Sir. 22:5
He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together. Sir. 22:7
He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep. Sir. 22:8
He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this? Sir. 22:9
Talk not much with a fool and go not with him that hath no sense. Sir. 22:14
Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin. Sir. 22:15
Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked. Sir. 22:18
A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel. Sir. 22:19
The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear. Sir. 22:20
As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God. Sir. 22:23
He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment. Sir. 22:24
He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship. Sir. 22:25
Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice. Sir. 22:28
In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance. Sir. 22:29
But every one that shall hear it, will beware of him. Sir. 22:32
Who will set a guard before my mouth, and a sure seal upon my lips, that I fall not by them, and that my tongue destroy me not? Sir. 22:33
Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over my heart, that they spare me not in their ignorances, and that their sins may not appear: Sir. 23:2
Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth, and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works. Sir. 23:7
For as a slave daily put to the question, is never without a blue mark: so every one that sweareth, and nameth, shall not be wholly pure from sin. Sir. 23:11
A man that sweareth much, shall be filled with iniquity, and a scourge shall not depart from his house. Sir. 23:12
Lest God forget thee in their sight, and thou, by thy daily custom be infatuated and suffer reproach: and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy nativity. Sir. 23:19
The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life. Sir. 23:20
And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire. Sir. 23:23
To a man that is a fornicator all bread is sweet, he will not be weary of sinning unto the end. Sir. 23:24
Every man that passeth beyond his own bed, despising his own soul, and saying: Who seeth me? Sir. 23:25
And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man's fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him: Sir. 23:27
And he knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are far brighter than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men, and the bottom of the deep, and looking into the hearts of men, into the most hidden parts. Sir. 23:28
So every woman also that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another: Sir. 23:32
And they that remain shall know, that there is nothing better than the fear of God: and that there is nothing sweeter than to have regard to the commandments of the Lord. Sir. 23:37
I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth: Sir. 24:6
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle, Sir. 24:12
Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits. Sir. 24:26
They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst. Sir. 24:29
He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. Sir. 24:30
They that explain me shall have life everlasting. Sir. 24:31
I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth, and will behold all that sleep, and will enlighten all that hope in the Lord. Sir. 24:45
I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to them that seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age. Sir. 24:46
See ye that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek out the truth. Sir. 24:47
The concord of brethren, and the love of neighbours, and man and wife that agree well together. Sir. 25:2
A poor man that is proud: a rich man that is a liar: an old man that is a fool, and doting. Sir. 25:4
The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age? Sir. 25:5
Nine things that are not to be imagined by the heart have I magnified, and the tenth I will utter to men with my tongue. Sir. 25:9
A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies. Sir. 25:10
Blessed is he that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him. Sir. 25:11
Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth. Sir. 25:12
How great is he that findeth wisdom and knowledge! but there is none above him that feareth the Lord. Sir. 25:13
Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened? Sir. 25:15
And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate him: Sir. 25:20
Feeble hands, and disjointed knees, a woman that doth not make her husband happy. Sir. 25:32
A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. Sir. 26:3
As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion. Sir. 26:10
On a daughter that turneth not away herself, set a strict watch: lest finding an opportunity she abuse herself. Sir. 26:13
And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword. Sir. 26:27
¤ Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. Sir. 27:1
Birds resort unto their like: so truth will return to them that practise her. Sir. 27:10
The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities. Sir. 27:11
In the midst of the unwise keep in the word till its time: but be continually among men that think. Sir. 27:13
The speech that sweareth much shall make the hair of the head stand upright: and its irreverence shall make one stop his ears. Sir. 27:15
He that discloseth the secret of a friend loseth his credit, and shall never find a friend to his mind. Sir. 27:17
For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so also is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. Sir. 27:20
And as one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and thou shalt not get him again. Sir. 27:21
He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off: Sir. 27:25
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. Sir. 27:29
They shall perish in a snare that are delighted with the fall of the just: and sorrow shall consume them before they die. Sir. 27:32
¤ He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. Sir. 28:1
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? Sir. 28:5
For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. Sir. 28:11
A hasty contention kindleth a fire and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death. Sir. 28:13
The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace. Sir. 28:15
He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose. Sir. 28:20
Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands. Sir. 28:23
They that forsake God shall fall into it, and it shall burn in them, and shall not be quenched, and it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and as a leopard it shall tear them. Sir. 28:27
¤ He that sheweth mercy, lendeth to his neighbour: and he that is stronger in hand, keepeth the commandments. Sir. 29:1
Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him: and thou shalt always find that which is necessary for thee. Sir. 29:3
Many have looked upon a thing lent as a thing found, and have given trouble to them that helped them. Sir. 29:4
A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself. Sir. 29:18
A sinner attributeth to himself the goods of his surety: and he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him that delivered him. Sir. 29:21
A sinner that transgresseth the commandment of the Lord, shall fall into an evil suretyship: and he that undertaketh many things, shall fall into judgment. Sir. 29:25
Recover thy neighbour according to thy power, and take heed to thyself that thou fall not. Sir. 29:26
¤ He that loveth his son, frequently chastiseth him, that he may rejoice in his latter end, and not grope after the doors of his neighbours. Sir. 30:1
He that instructeth his son shall be praised in him, and shall glory in him in the midst of them of his household. Sir. 30:2
He that teacheth his son, maketh his enemy jealous, and in the midst of his friends he shall glory in him. Sir. 30:3
His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. Sir. 30:4
For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends. Sir. 30:6
Good things that are hidden in a mouth that is shut, are as messes of meat set about a grave. Sir. 30:18
So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity: Sir. 30:20
He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it. Sir. 31:5
Gold is a stumblingblock to them that sacrifice to it: woe to them that eagerly follow after it, and every fool shall perish by it. Sir. 31:7
Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Sir. 31:8
Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting. He that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them: Sir. 31:10
Remember that a wicked eye is evil. Sir. 31:14
Use as a frugal man the things that are set before thee: lest if thou eatest much, thou be hated. Sir. 31:19
The lips of many shall bless him that is liberal of his bread, and the testimony of his truth is faithful. Sir. 31:28
Against him that is niggardly of his bread, the city will murmur, and the testimony of his niggardliness is true. Sir. 31:29
Challenge not them that love wine: for wine hath destroyed very many. Sir. 31:30
That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution. Sir. 32:3
Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee, Sir. 32:4
And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things. Sir. 32:17
He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing. Sir. 32:18
He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein. Sir. 32:19
They that fear the Lord, shall find just judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. Sir. 32:20
He that believeth God, taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in him, shall fare never the worse. Sir. 32:28
¤ No evils shall happen to him that feareth the Lord, but in temptation God will keep him and deliver him from evils. Sir. 33:1
He that cleareth up a question, shall prepare what to say, and so having prayed he shall be heard, and shall keep discipline, and then he shall answer. Sir. 33:4
A friend that is a mocker, is like a stallion horse: he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him. Sir. 33:6
All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment. Sir. 33:14
And I awaked last of all, and as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers. Sir. 33:16
In the blessing of God I also have hoped: and as one that gathereth grapes, have I filled the winepress. Sir. 33:17
See that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek discipline. Sir. 33:18
For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children. Sir. 33:22
Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle: Sir. 33:28
¤ The hopes of a man that is void of understanding are vain and deceitful: and dreams lift up fools. Sir. 34:1
The man that giveth heed to lying visions, is like to him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind. Sir. 34:2
What can be made clean by the unclean? and what truth can come from that which is false? Sir. 34:4
And the heart fancieth as that of a woman in travail: except it be a vision sent forth from the most High, set not thy heart upon them. Sir. 34:6
For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them. Sir. 34:7
What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding. Sir. 34:9
He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence. Sir. 34:10
He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety. Sir. 34:11
The spirit of those that fear God, is sought after, and by his regard shall be blessed. Sir. 34:14
For their hope is on him that saveth them, and the eyes of God are upon them that love him. Sir. 34:15
He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid: for he is his hope. Sir. 34:16
The soul of him that feareth the Lord is blessed. Sir. 34:17
The eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him, he is their powerful protector, and strong stay, a defence from the heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, Sir. 34:19
The offering of him that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, is stained, and the mockeries of the unjust are not acceptable. Sir. 34:21
The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice. Sir. 34:22
He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father. Sir. 34:24
The bread of the needy, is the life of the poor: he that defraudeth them thereof, is a man of blood. Sir. 34:25
He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour. Sir. 34:26
He that sheddeth blood, and he that defraudeth the laborer of his hire, are brothers. Sir. 34:27
He that washeth himself after touching the dead, if he toucheth him again, what doth his washing avail? Sir. 34:30
So a man that fasteth for his sins, and doth the same again, what doth his humbling himself profit him? who will hear his prayer? Sir. 34:31
¤ He that keepeth the law, multiplieth offerings. Sir. 35:1
He shall return thanks, that offereth fine flour: and he that doth mercy, offereth sacrifice. Sir. 35:4
To depart from iniquity is that which pleaseth the Lord, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty for sins. Sir. 35:5
The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged. Sir. 35:16
Do not the widow's tears run down the cheek, and her cry against him that causeth them to fall? Sir. 35:18
For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them. Sir. 35:19
He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds. Sir. 35:20
The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold. Sir. 35:21
And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back: Sir. 35:22
And send thy fear upon the nations, that have not sought after thee: that they may know that there is no God beside thee, and that they may shew forth thy wonders. Sir. 36:2
Lift up thy hand over the strange nations, that they may see thy power. Sir. 36:3
That they may know thee, as we also have known thee, that there is no God beside thee, O Lord. Sir. 36:5
Hasten the time, and remember the end, that they may declare thy wonderful works. Sir. 36:10
Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire: and let them perish that oppress thy people. Sir. 36:11
Crush the head of the princes of the enemies that say: There is no other beside us. Sir. 36:12
Gather together all the tribes of Jacob: that they may know that there is no God besides thee, and may declare thy great works: and thou shalt inherit them as from the beginning. Sir. 36:13
Give testimony to them that are thy creatures from the beginning, and raise up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in thy name. Sir. 36:17
Reward them that patiently wait for thee, that thy prophets may be found faithful: and hear the prayers of thy servants, Sir. 36:18
According to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, and direct us into the way of justice, and let all know that dwell upon the earth, that thou art God the beholder of all ages. Sir. 36:19
If she have a tongue that can cure, and likewise mitigate and shew mercy: her husband is not like other men. Sir. 36:25
He that possesseth a good wife, beginneth a possession: she is a help like to himself, and a pillar of rest. Sir. 36:26
Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want. Sir. 36:27
Who will trust him that hath no rest, and that lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him, as a robber well appointed, that skippeth from city to city. Sir. 36:28
¤ Every friend will say: I also am his friend: but there is a friend, that is only a friend in name. Is not this a grief even to death? Sir. 37:1
Consult not with him that layeth a snare for thee, and hide thy counsel from them that envy thee. Sir. 37:7
Every counsellor giveth out counsel, but there is one that is a counsellor for himself. Sir. 37:8
Nor with him that worketh by the year of the finishing of the year, nor with an idle servant of much business: give no heed to these in any matter of counsel. Sir. 37:14
The soul of a holy man discovereth sometimes true things, more than seven watchmen that sit in a high place to watch. Sir. 37:18
But above all these things pray to the most High, that he may direct thy way in truth. Sir. 37:19
A wicked word shall change the heart: out of which four manner of things arise, good and evil, life and death: and the tongue is continually the ruler of them. There is a man that is subtle and a teacher of many, and yet is unprofitable to his own soul. Sir. 37:21
He that speaketh sophistically, is hateful: he shall be destitute of every thing. Sir. 37:23
There is a wise man that is wise to his own soul: and the fruit of his understanding is commendable. Sir. 37:25
A wise man shall be filled with blessings, and they that see shall praise him. Sir. 37:27
By surfeiting many have perished, but he that is temperate, shall prolong life. Sir. 37:34
The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the most High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders. Sir. 38:6
And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation. Sir. 38:14
He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician. Sir. 38:15
The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom. Sir. 38:25
With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls? Sir. 38:26
So every craftsman and workmaster that laboureth night and day, he who maketh graven seals, and by his continual diligence varieth the figure: he shall give his mind to the resemblance of the picture, and by his watching shall finish the work. Sir. 38:28
He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the most High. Sir. 39:6
I will yet meditate that I may declare: for I am filled as with a holy transport. Sir. 39:16
There is no saying: What is this, or what is that? for all things shall be sought in their time. Sir. 39:26
And as a flood hath watered the earth; so shall his wrath inherit the nations, that have not sought after him. Sir. 39:28
There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments. Sir. 39:33
In the time of destruction they shall pour out their force: and they shall appease the wrath of him that made them. Sir. 39:34
It is not to be said: This is worse than that: for all shall be well approved in their time. Sir. 39:40
From him that sitteth on a glorious throne, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes: Sir. 40:3
From him that weareth purple, and beareth the crown, even to him that is covered with rough linen: wrath, envy, trouble, unquietness, and the fear of death, continual anger, and strife, Sir. 40:4
He is troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he had escaped in the day of battle. In the time of his safety he rose up, and wondereth that there is no fear. Sir. 40:7
All things that are of the earth, shall return to the earth again, and all waters shall return to the sea. Sir. 40:11
The life of a laborer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a treasure. Sir. 40:18
The life of him that looketh toward another man's table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man's meat. Sir. 40:30
¤ O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that hath peace in his possessions! Sir. 41:1
To a man that is at rest, and whose ways are prosperous in all things, and that is yet able to take meat! Sir. 41:2
O death thy sentence is welcome to the man that is in need, and to him whose strength faileth: Sir. 41:3
Who is in a decrepit age, and that is in care about all things, and to the distrustful that loseth patience! Sir. 41:4
The children of sinners become children of abominations, and they that converse near the houses of the ungodly. Sir. 41:8
All things that are of the earth, shall return into the earth: so the ungodly shall from malediction to destruction. Sir. 41:13
My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both? Sir. 41:17
Better is the man that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom. Sir. 41:18
Of silence before them that salute thee: of looking upon a harlot: and of turning away thy face from thy kinsman. Sir. 41:25
¤ Repeat not the word which thou hast heard, and disclose not the thing that is secret; so shalt thou be truly without confusion, and shalt find favour before all men: be not ashamed of any of these things, and accept no person to sin thereby: Sir. 42:1
Where there are many hands, shut up, and deliver all things in number, and weight: and put all in writing that thou givest out or receivest in. Sir. 42:7
Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the aged, that are judged by young men: and thou shalt be well instructed in all things, and well approved in the sight of all men living. Sir. 42:8
For the Lord knoweth all knowledge, and hath beheld the signs of the world, he declareth the things that are past, and the things that are to come, and revealeth the traces of hidden things. Sir. 42:19
Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course. Sir. 43:5
From the moon is the sign of the festival day, a light that decreaseth in her perfection. Sir. 43:7
Look upon the rainbow, and bless him that made it: it is very beautiful in its brightness. Sir. 43:12
And it shall devour the mountains, and burn the wilderness, and consume all that is green as with fire. Sir. 43:23
A present remedy of all is the speedy coming of a cloud, and a dew that meeteth it, by the heat that cometh, shall overpower it. Sir. 43:24
Let them that sail on the sea, tell the dangers thereof: and when we hear with our ears, we shall admire. Sir. 43:26
There are many things hidden from us that are greater than these: for we have seen but a few of his works. Sir. 43:36
They that were born of them have left a name behind them, that their praises might be related: Sir. 44:8
Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations. Sir. 44:16
The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the flood. Sir. 44:19
Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth, Sir. 44:22
And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Sir. 44:23
And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh. Sir. 44:27
And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments. Sir. 45:6
That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. Sir. 45:11
And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law. Sir. 45:21
And strangers stood up against him, and through envy the men that were with Dathan and Abiron, compassed him about in the wilderness, and the congregation of Core in their wrath. Sir. 45:22
Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. Sir. 45:30
And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. Sir. 45:31
Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. Sir. 46:2
That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one: Sir. 46:8
And they two being appointed, were delivered out of the danger from among the number of six hundred thousand men on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into the land that floweth with milk and honey. Sir. 46:10
And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance: Sir. 46:11
That all the children of Israel might see, that it is good to obey the holy God. Sir. 46:12
That their memory might be blessed, and their bones spring up out of their place, Sir. 46:14
With his whole heart he praised the Lord, and loved God that made him: and he gave him power against his enemies: Sir. 47:10
And to the festivals he added beauty, and set in order the solemn times even to the end of his life, that they should praise the holy name of the Lord, and magnify the holiness of God in the morning. Sir. 47:12
Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God brought all his enemies under him, that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for ever: O how wise wast thou in thy youth! Sir. 47:15
That thou shouldst make the kingdom to be divided, and out of Ephraim a rebellious kingdom to rule. Sir. 47:23
But God will not leave off his mercy, and he will not destroy, nor abolish his own works, neither will he cut up by the roots the offspring of his elect: and he will not utterly take away the seed of him that loveth the Lord. Sir. 47:24
Even Roboam that had little wisdom, who turned away the people through his counsel: Sir. 47:28
He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord. Sir. 48:2
Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship. Sir. 48:11
Some of these did that which pleased God: but others committed many sins. Sir. 48:18
For Ezechias did that which pleased God, and walked valiantly in the way of David his father, which Isaias, the great prophet, and faithful in the sight of God, had commanded him. Sir. 48:25
With a great spirit he saw the things that are to come to pass at last, and comforted the mourners in Sion. Sir. 48:27
It was Ezechiel that saw the glorious vision, which was shewn him upon the chariot of cherubims. Sir. 49:10
For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of rain, and of doing good to them that shewed right ways. Sir. 49:11
And let Nehemias be a long time remembered, who raised up for us our walls that were cast down, and set up the gates and the bars, who rebuilt our houses. Sir. 49:15
And as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds, and as the flower of roses in the days of the spring, and as the lilies that are on the brink of the water, and as the sweet smelling frankincense in the time of summer. Sir. 50:8
May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that there be peace in our days in Israel for ever: Sir. 50:25
That Israel may believe that the mercy of God is with us, to deliver us in his days. Sir. 50:26
They that sit on mount Seir, and the Philistines, and the foolish people that dwell in Sichem. Sir. 50:28

And that the Lord may give us strength, and enlighten our eyes, that we may live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and may serve them many days, and may find favour in their sight. Bar. 1:12
From the day that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, we were disobedient to the Lord our God: and going astray we turned away from hearing his voice. Bar. 1:19
¤ Wherefore the Lord our God hath made good his word, that he spoke to us, and to our judges that have judged Israel, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to all Israel and Juda: Bar. 2:1
That the Lord would bring upon us great evils, such as never happened under heaven, as they have come to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that are written in the law of Moses: Bar. 2:2
That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter. Bar. 2:3
And he hath delivered them up to be under the hand of all the kings that are round about us, to be a reproach, and desolation among all the people, among whom the Lord hath scattered us. Bar. 2:4
For the Lord hath pronounced against us all these evils that are come upon us: Bar. 2:7
And we have not entreated the face of the Lord our God, that we might return every one of us from our most wicked ways. Bar. 2:8
Hear, O Lord, our prayers, and our petitions, and deliver us for thy own sake: and grant that we may find favour in the sight of them that have led us away: Bar. 2:14
That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, and that thy name is called upon Israel, and upon his posterity. Bar. 2:15
Open thy eyes, and behold: for the dead that are in hell, whose spirit is taken away from their bowels, shall not give glory and justice to the Lord: Bar. 2:17
But the soul that is sorrowful for the greatness of evil she hath done, and goeth bowed down, and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul giveth glory and justice to thee the Lord. Bar. 2:18
For it is not for the justices of our fathers that we pour out our prayers, and beg mercy in thy sight, O Lord our God: Bar. 2:19
And they hearkened not to thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: and thou hast made good thy words, which thou spokest by the hands of thy servants the prophets, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers should be removed out of their place: Bar. 2:24
And thou hast dealt with us, O Lord our God, according to all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine: Bar. 2:27
For I know that the people will not hear me, for they are a people of a stiff neck: but they shall turn to their heart in the land of their captivity: Bar. 2:30
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God: and I will give them a heart, and they shall understand: and ears, and they shall hear. Bar. 2:31
And they shall turn away themselves from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, that sinned against me. Bar. 2:33
And I will make with them another covenant that shall be everlasting, to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more remove my people, the children of Israel, out of the land that I have given them. Bar. 2:35
O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, hear now the prayer of the dead of Israel, and of their children, that have sinned before thee, and have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, wherefore evils have cleaved fast to us. Bar. 3:4
Because for this end thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before thee. Bar. 3:7
Hear, O Israel, the commandments of life: give ear, that thou mayst learn wisdom. Bar. 3:9
How happeneth it, O Israel, that thou art in thy enemies' land? Bar. 3:10
Thou art grown old in a strange country, thou art defiled with the dead: thou art counted with them that go down into hell. Bar. 3:11
Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding: that thou mayst know also where is length of days and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace. Bar. 3:14
Where are the princes of the nations, and they that rule over the beasts that are upon the earth? Bar. 3:16
That take their diversion with the birds of the air. Bar. 3:17
That hoard up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and there is no end of their getting? who work in silver and are solicitous, and their works are unsearchable. Bar. 3:18
The children of Agar also, that search after the wisdom that is of the earth, the merchants of Merrha, and of Theman, and the tellers of fables, and searchers of prudence and understanding: but the way of wisdom they have not known, neither have they remembered her paths. Bar. 3:23
There were the giants, those renowned men that were from the beginning, of great stature, expert in war. Bar. 3:26
There is none that is able to know her ways, nor that can search out her paths: Bar. 3:31
But he that knoweth all things, knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore, and filled it with cattle and fourfooted beasts: Bar. 3:32
He that sendeth forth the light, and it goeth: and hath called it, and it obeyeth him with trembling. Bar. 3:33
They were called, and they said: Here we are: and with cheerfulness they have shined forth to him that made them. Bar. 3:35
¤ This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law, that is for ever: all they that keep it, shall come to life: but they that have forsaken it, to death. Bar. 4:1
We are happy, O Israel: because the things that are pleasing to God, are made known to us. Bar. 4:4
For you have forgotten God, who brought you up, and you have grieved Jerusalem that nursed you. Bar. 4:8
For she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, and she said: Give ear, all you that dwell near Sion, for God hath brought upon me great mourning: Bar. 4:9
Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Eternal hath brought upon them. Bar. 4:14
But he that hath brought the evils upon you, he will deliver you out of the hands of your enemies. Bar. 4:18
For my hope is in the Eternal that he will save you: and joy is come upon me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall come to you from our everlasting Saviour. Bar. 4:22
My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you: for thy enemy hath persecuted thee, but thou shalt quickly see his destruction: and thou shalt get up upon his neck. Bar. 4:25
Be of good comfort, my children, and cry to the Lord: for you shall be remembered by him that hath led you away. Bar. 4:27
For he that hath brought evils upon you, shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation. Bar. 4:29
Be of good heart, O Jerusalem: for he exhorteth thee, that named thee. Bar. 4:30
The wicked that have afflicted thee, shall perish: and they that have rejoiced at thy ruin, shall be punished. Bar. 4:31
The cities which thy children have served, shall be punished: and she that received thy sons. Bar. 4:32
Look about thee, O Jerusalem, towards the east, and behold the joy that cometh to thee from God. Bar. 4:36
¤ Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of thy mourning, and affliction: and put on the beauty, and honour of that everlasting glory which thou hast from God. Bar. 5:1
For God hath appointed to bring down every high mountain, and the everlasting rocks, and to fill up the valleys to make them even with the ground: that Israel may walk diligently to the honour of God. Bar. 5:7
For God will bring Israel with joy in the light of his majesty, with mercy, and justice, that cometh from him. Bar. 5:9
¤ For the sins that you have committed before God, you shall be carried away captives into Babylon by Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon. Bar. 6:1
And when you are come into Babylon, you shall be there many years, and for a long time, even to seven generations: and after that I will bring you away from thence with peace. Bar. 6:2
Beware therefore that you imitate not the doings of others, and be afraid, and the fear of them should seize upon you. Bar. 6:4
For their tongue that is polished by the craftsman, and themselves laid over with gold and silver, are false things, and they cannot speak. Bar. 6:7
And as if it were for a maiden that loveth to go gay: so do they take gold and make them up. Bar. 6:8
This holdeth a sceptre as a man, as a judge of the country, but cannot put to death one that offendeth him. Bar. 6:13
And this hath in his hand a sword, or an axe, but cannot save himself from war, or from robbers, whereby be it known to you, that they are not gods. Bar. 6:14
Therefore fear them not. For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods: Bar. 6:15
When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in. Bar. 6:16
And as the gates are made sure on every side upon one that hath offended the king, or like a dead man carried to the grave, so do the priests secure the doors with bars and locks, lest they be stripped by thieves. Bar. 6:17
And they say that the creeping things which are of the earth, gnaw their hearts, while they eat them and their garments, and they feel it not. Bar. 6:19
Their faces are black with the smoke that is made in the house. Bar. 6:20
Whereby you may know that they are no gods. Therefore fear them not. Bar. 6:22
And having not the use of feet they are carried upon shoulders, declaring to men how vile they are. Be they confounded also that worship them. Bar. 6:25
The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor. Bar. 6:27
The childbearing and menstruous women touch their sacrifices: knowing, therefore, by these things that they are not gods, fear them not. Bar. 6:28
And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king, nor put him down: Bar. 6:33
Their gods, of wood, and of stone, and of gold, and of silver, are like the stones that are hewn out of the mountains: and they that worship them shall be confounded. Bar. 6:38
How then is it to be supposed, or to be said, that they are gods? Bar. 6:39
Even the Chaldeans themselves dishonor them: who when they hear of one dumb that cannot speak, they present him to Bel, entreating him, that he may speak. Bar. 6:40
As though they could be sensible that have no motion themselves: and they, when they shall perceive this, will leave them: for their gods themselves have no sense. Bar. 6:41
And when any one of them, drawn away by some passenger, lieth with him, she upbraideth her neighbor, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken. Bar. 6:43
But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods? Bar. 6:44
For the artificers themselves that make them, are of no long continuance. Can those things then that are made by them, be gods? Bar. 6:46
But they have left false things and reproach to them that come after. Bar. 6:47
How then can they be thought to be gods, that can neither deliver themselves from war, nor save themselves from evils? Bar. 6:49
For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations, and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. Bar. 6:50
Whence, therefore, is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them? Bar. 6:51
And they cannot withstand a king and war. How then can it be supposed, or admitted, that they are gods? Bar. 6:55
Neither are these gods of wood, and of stone, and laid over with gold, and with silver, able to deliver themselves from thieves or robbers: they that are stronger than them, Bar. 6:56
Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power: or else a profitable vessel in the house, with which the owner thereof will be well satisfied: or a door in the house, to keep things safe that are therein, than such false gods. Bar. 6:58
And the clouds, when God commandeth them to go over the whole world, do that which is commanded them. Bar. 6:61
Wherefore it is neither to be thought, nor to be said, that they are gods: since they are neither able to judge causes, nor to do any good to men. Bar. 6:63
Knowing, therefore, that they are not gods, fear them not. Bar. 6:64
Therefore there is no manner of appearance that they are gods: so fear them not. Bar. 6:68
By the purple also and the scarlet which are motheaten upon them, you shall know that they are not gods. And they themselves at last are consumed, and shall be a reproach in the country. Bar. 6:71
Better, therefore, is the just man that hath no idols: for he shall be far from reproach. Bar. 6:72
And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber: Ezec. 1:4
And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire. Ezec. 1:13
For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings. Ezec. 1:25
And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was the likeness of the appearance of a man above upon it. Ezec. 1:26
¤ This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, and I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke, and he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. Ezec. 2:1
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me, Ezec. 2:2
And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day. Ezec. 2:3
If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them. Ezec. 2:5
But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee. Ezec. 2:8
¤ And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel. Ezec. 3:1
And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book: Ezec. 3:2
And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee: Ezec. 3:10
And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them. Ezec. 3:15
If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 3:18
But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 3:21
And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:26
But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:27
And thou shalt sleep upon thy left side, and shalt lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the days that thou shalt sleep upon it, and thou shalt take upon thee their iniquity. Ezec. 4:4
And take to thee wheat and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. Ezec. 4:9
And thy meat that thou shalt eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day: from time to time thou shalt eat it. Ezec. 4:10
And thou shalt eat it as barley bread baked under the ashes: and thou shalt cover it, in their sight, with the dung that cometh out of a man. Ezec. 4:12
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, behold my soul hath not been defiled, and from my infancy even till now, I have not eaten any thing that died of itself, or was torn by beasts, and no unclean flesh hath entered into my mouth. Ezec. 4:14
So that when bread and water fail, every man may fall against his brother, and they may pine away in their iniquities. Ezec. 4:17
¤ And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and divide the hair. Ezec. 5:1
And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments. Ezec. 5:6
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you: Ezec. 5:7
And I will do in thee that which I have not done: and the like to which I will do no more, because of all thy abominations. Ezec. 5:9
And I will accomplish my fury, and will cause my indignation to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I shall have accomplished my indignation in them. Ezec. 5:13
And I will make thee desolate, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of every one that passeth by. Ezec. 5:14
And thou shalt be a reproach, and a scoff, an example, and an astonishment amongst the nations that are round about thee, when I shall have executed judgments in thee in anger, and in indignation, and in wrathful rebukes. Ezec. 5:15
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 6:7
And I will leave in you some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when I shall have scattered you through the countries. Ezec. 6:8
And they that are saved of you shall remember me amongst the nations, to which they are carried captives: because I have broken their heart that was faithless, and revolted from me: and their eyes that went a fornicating after their idols: and they shall be displeased with themselves because of the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. Ezec. 6:9
And they shall know that I the Lord have not spoken in vain that I would do this evil to them. Ezec. 6:10
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence: and he that is near, shall fall by the sword: and he that remaineth, and is besieged, shall die by the famine: and I will accomplish my indignation upon them. Ezec. 6:12
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain shall be amongst your idols, round about your altars, in every high hill, and on all the tops of mountains, and under every woody tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they burnt sweet smelling frankincense to all their idols. Ezec. 6:13
And I will stretch forth my hand upon them: and I will make the land desolate, and abandoned from the desert of Deblatha in all their dwelling places: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 6:14
And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 7:4
Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains. Ezec. 7:7
And my eye shall not spare, neither will I shew mercy: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike. Ezec. 7:9
For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life. Ezec. 7:13
The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine. Ezec. 7:15
The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with sorrow, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and will judge them according to their judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 7:27
¤ And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the ancients of Juda sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Ezec. 8:1
And the likeness of a hand was put forth and took me by a lock of my head: and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the vision of God into Jerusalem, near the inner gate, that looked toward the north, where was set the idol of jealousy to provoke to jealousy. Ezec. 8:3
And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations. Ezec. 8:6
And seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and Jezonias the son of Saaphan stood in the midst of them, that stood before the pictures: and every one had a censer in his hand: and a cloud of smoke went up from the incense. Ezec. 8:11
And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose. Ezec. 8:17
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer's inkhorn at his loins. Ezec. 9:3
And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof. Ezec. 9:4
And he said to them: Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city. Ezec. 9:7
And behold the man that was clothed with linen, that had the inkhorn at his back, returned the word, saying: I have done as thou hast commanded me. Ezec. 9:11
¤ And I saw and behold in the firmament that was over the heads of the cherubims, there appeared over them as it were the sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. Ezec. 10:1
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight: Ezec. 10:2
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel. Ezec. 10:6
And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth. Ezec. 10:7
And the cherubims were lifted up: this is the living creature that I had seen by the river Chobar. Ezec. 10:15
This is the living creature, which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chobar: and I understood that they were cherubims. Ezec. 10:20
And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city, Ezec. 11:2
You shall fall by the sword: I will judge you in the borders of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 11:10
And you shall know that I am the Lord: because you have not walked in my commandments, and have not done my judgments, but you have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you. Ezec. 11:12
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pheltias the son of Banaias died: and I fell down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice: and said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God: wilt thou make an end of all the remnant of Israel? Ezec. 11:13
That they may walk in my commandments, and keep my judgments, and do them: and that they may be my people, and I may be their God. Ezec. 11:20
And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city, and stood over the mount that is on the east side of the city. Ezec. 11:23
And thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as the furniture of one that is removing by day in their sight: and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their presence, as one goeth forth that removeth his dwelling. Ezec. 12:4
I did therefore as he had commanded me: I brought forth my goods by day, as the goods of one that removeth: and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand, and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on men's shoulders in their sight. Ezec. 12:7
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: This burden concerneth my prince that is in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel, that are among them. Ezec. 12:10
And the prince that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the ground with his eyes. Ezec. 12:12
And all that are about him, his guards, and his troops I will scatter into every wind: and I will draw out the sword after them. Ezec. 12:14
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have dispersed them among the nations, and scattered them in the countries. Ezec. 12:15
And I will leave a few men of them from the sword, and from the famine, and from the pestilence: that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the nations whither they shall go: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 12:16
And say to the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord God to them that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in care, and drink their water in desolation: that the land may become desolate from the multitude that is therein, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein. Ezec. 12:19
And the cities that are now inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 12:20
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be prolonged, and every vision shall fail. Ezec. 12:22
Say to them therefore: Thus saith the Lord God: I will make this proverb to cease, neither shall it be any more a common saying in Israel: and tell them that the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. Ezec. 12:23
Son of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The visions that this man seeth, is for many days to come: and this man prophesieth of times afar off. Ezec. 12:27
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: not one word of mine shall be prolonged any more: the word that I shall speak shall be accomplished, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 12:28
Son of man, prophesy thou against the prophets of Israel that prophesy: and thou shalt say to them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Ezec. 13:2
Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and see nothing. Ezec. 13:3
And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, nor shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 13:9
Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be an overflowing shower, and I will cause great hailstones to fall violently from above, and a stormy wind to throw it down. Ezec. 13:11
And I will break down the wall that you have daubed with untempered mortar: and I will make it even with the ground, and the foundation thereof shall be laid bare: and it shall fall, and shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 13:14
And I will accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that daub it without tempering the mortar, and I will say to you: The wall is no more, and they that daub it are no more. Ezec. 13:15
Even the prophets of Israel that prophesy to Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her: and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 13:16
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people that prophesy out of their own heart: and do thou prophesy against them, Ezec. 13:17
And say: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to them that sew cushions under every elbow: and make pillows for the heads of persons of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they gave life to their souls. Ezec. 13:18
And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies. Ezec. 13:19
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I declare against your cushions, wherewith you catch flying souls: and I will tear them off from your arms: and I will let go the souls that you catch, the souls that should fly. Ezec. 13:20
And I will tear your pillows, and will deliver my people out of your hand, neither shall they be any more in your hands to be a prey: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 13:21
Because with lies you have made the heart of the just to mourn, whom I have not made sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his evil way, and live. Ezec. 13:22
Therefore you shall not see vain things, nor divine divinations any more, and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 13:23
Therefore speak to them, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Man, man of the house of Israel that shall place his uncleannesses in his heart, and set up the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and shall come to the prophet inquiring of me by him: I the Lord will answer him according to the multitude of his uncleannesses: Ezec. 14:4
That the house of Israel may be caught in their own heart, with which they have departed from me through all their idols. Ezec. 14:5
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example, and a proverb, and will cut him off from the midst of my people: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 14:8
And when the prophet shall err, and speak a word: I the Lord have deceived that prophet: and I will stretch forth my hand upon him, and will cut him off from the midst of my people Israel. Ezec. 14:9
And they shall bear their iniquity: according to the iniquity of him that inquireth, so shall the iniquity of the prophet be. Ezec. 14:10
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, nor be polluted with all their transgressions: but may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord of hosts. Ezec. 14:11
And if I shall bring mischievous beasts also upon the land to waste it, and it be desolate, so that there is none that can pass because of the beasts: Ezec. 14:15
Or if I bring the sword upon that land, and say to the sword: Pass through the land: and I destroy man and beast out of it: Ezec. 14:17
Or if I also send the pestilence upon that land, and pour out my indignation upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast: Ezec. 14:19
Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it. Ezec. 14:22
And they shall comfort you, when you shall see their ways, and their doings: and you shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 14:23
Son of man, what shall be made of the wood of the vine, out of all the trees of the woods that are among the trees of the forests? Ezec. 15:2
And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from fire, and fire shall consume them: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have set my face against them. Ezec. 15:7
No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born. Ezec. 16:5
And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood: and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood. Ezec. 16:6
That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street. Ezec. 16:24
At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications. Ezec. 16:25
Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way. Ezec. 16:27
Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price, Ezec. 16:31
But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband. Ezec. 16:32
And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication, for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee. Ezec. 16:34
And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. Ezec. 16:38
Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter. Ezec. 16:44
Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite. Ezec. 16:45
And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters. Ezec. 16:46
Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters. Ezec. 16:52
And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them. Ezec. 16:53
That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them. Ezec. 16:54
Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides. Ezec. 16:57
And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, Ezec. 16:62
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:63
And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth. Ezec. 17:5
And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. Ezec. 17:7
It was planted in a good ground upon many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and bear fruit, that it might become a large vine. Ezec. 17:8
That it may be a low kingdom and not lift itself up, but keep his covenant and observe it. Ezec. 17:14
But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant? Ezec. 17:15
As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die. Ezec. 17:16
And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword: and the residue shall be scattered into every wind: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken. Ezec. 17:21
And all the trees of the country shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, and exalted the low tree: and have dried up the green tree, and have caused the dry tree to flourish. I the Lord have spoken and have done it. Ezec. 17:24
That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge. Ezec. 18:2
Behold all souls are mine: as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, the same shall die. Ezec. 18:4
And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things: Ezec. 18:10
Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour's wife: Ezec. 18:11
That grieveth the needy and the poor, that taketh away by violence, that restoreth not the pledge, and that lifteth up his eyes to idols, that committeth abomination: Ezec. 18:12
That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him. Ezec. 18:13
That hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and hath not defiled his neighbour's wife: Ezec. 18:15
That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live. Ezec. 18:17
The soul that sinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezec. 18:20
I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. Ezec. 18:22
Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live? Ezec. 18:23
And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, O house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse? Ezec. 18:25
For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. Ezec. 18:26
For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live. Ezec. 18:32
But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion. Ezec. 19:5
And they put him into a cage, they brought him in chains to the king of Babylon: and they cast him into prison, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. Ezec. 19:9
And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches. Ezec. 19:11
And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation. Ezec. 19:14
In that day I lifted up my hand for them to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelled amongst all lands. Ezec. 20:6
But I did otherwise for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. Ezec. 20:9
Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. Ezec. 20:12
But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them. Ezec. 20:13
Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert. Ezec. 20:17
And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God. Ezec. 20:20
But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight. Ezec. 20:22
Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live. Ezec. 20:25
And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 20:26
And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 20:38
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers. Ezec. 20:42
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name's sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 20:44
And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched. Ezec. 20:48
That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn my sword out of its sheath not to be turned back. Ezec. 21:5
And when they shall say to thee: Why mournest thou? thou shalt say: For that which I hear: because it cometh, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and water shall run down every knee: behold it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 21:7
It is sharpened to kill victims: it is furbished that it may glitter: thou removest the sceptre of my son, thou hast cut down every tree. Ezec. 21:10
And I have given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, that it may be in the hand of the slayer. Ezec. 21:11
Cry, and howl, O son of man, for this sword is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel, that are fled: they are delivered up to the sword with my people, strike therefore upon thy thigh, Ezec. 21:12
Because it is tried: and that when it shall overthrow the sceptre, and it shall not be, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 21:13
Thou therefore, O son of man, prophesy, and strike thy hands together, and let the sword be doubled, and let the sword of the slain be tripled: this is the sword of a great slaughter, that maketh them stand amazed, Ezec. 21:14
And languish in heart, and that multiplieth ruins. In all their gates I have set the dread of the sharp sword, the sword that is furbished to glitter, that is made ready for slaughter. Ezec. 21:15
Thou shalt make a way that the sword may come to Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and to Juda unto Jerusalem the strong city. Ezec. 21:20
And he shall be in their eyes as one consulting the oracle in vain, and imitating the leisure of sabbaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity that they may be taken. Ezec. 21:23
But thou profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come that hath been appointed in the time of iniquity: Ezec. 21:25
Thus saith the Lord God: Remove the diadem, take off the crown: is it not this that hath exalted the low one, and brought down him that was high? Ezec. 21:26
Whilst they see vain things in thy regard, and they divine lies: to bring thee upon the necks of the wicked that are wounded, whose appointed day is come in the time of iniquity. Ezec. 21:29
And I will pour out upon thee my indignation: in the fire of my rage will I blow upon thee, and will give thee into the hands of men that are brutish and contrive thy destruction. Ezec. 21:31
And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself. Ezec. 22:3
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction. Ezec. 22:5
Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised: and at the blood that hath been shed in the midst of thee. Ezec. 22:13
And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 22:16
As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down. Ezec. 22:20
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you. Ezec. 22:22
Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath. Ezec. 22:24
There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof. Ezec. 22:25
And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none. Ezec. 22:30

And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way. Ezec. 23:13
And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads. Ezec. 23:42
And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will this woman still continue in her fornication. Ezec. 23:43
And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 23:49
For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust. Ezec. 24:7

Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed. Ezec. 24:11
And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these things mean that thou doest? Ezec. 24:19
Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword. Ezec. 24:21
And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 24:24

In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 24:27
And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 25:5

To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations. Ezec. 25:10

¤ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 26:1
Her daughters also that are in the field, shall be slain by the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 26:6
Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee. Ezec. 26:8
By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, when they shall go in at thy gates, as by the entrance of a city that is destroyed. Ezec. 26:10
And taking up a lamentation over thee, they shall say to thee: How art thou fallen, that dwellest in the sea, renowned city that wast strong in the sea, with thy inhabitants whom all did dread? Ezec. 26:17
For thus saith the Lord God: When I shall make thee a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited: and shall bring the deep upon thee, and many waters shall cover thee: Ezec. 26:19
And when I shall bring thee down with those that descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and shall set thee in the lowest parts of the earth, as places desolate of old, with them that are brought down into the pit, that thou be not inhabited: and when I shall give glory in the land of the living, Ezec. 26:20
And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty, Ezec. 27:3
And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty: Ezec. 27:4
The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty. Ezec. 27:11
Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin. Ezec. 27:27
And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land: Ezec. 27:29
Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth. Ezec. 27:33
Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen. Ezec. 27:34
They shall kill thee, and bring thee down: and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain in the heart of the sea. Ezec. 28:8
Wilt thou yet say before them that slay thee: I am God; whereas thou art a man, and not God, in the hand of them that slay thee? Ezec. 28:9
Thou wast in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of thy beauty: and thy pipes were prepared in the day that thou wast created. Ezec. 28:13
And thy heart was lifted up with thy beauty: thou hast lost thy wisdom in thy beauty, I have cast thee to the ground: I have set thee before the face of kings, that they might behold thee. Ezec. 28:17
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities, and by the iniquity of thy traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, to devour thee, and I will make thee as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see thee. Ezec. 28:18
All that shall see thee among the nations, shall be astonished at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more. Ezec. 28:19
And shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, Sidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall execute judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her. Ezec. 28:22
And I will send into her pestilence, and blood in her streets: and they shall fall being slain by the sword on all sides in the midst thereof: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 28:23
And the house of Israel shall have no more a stumblingblock of bitterness, nor a thorn causing pain on every side round about them, of them that are against them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 28:24
And they shall dwell therein secure, and they shall build houses, and shall plant vineyards, and shall dwell with confidence, when I shall have executed judgments upon all that are their enemies round about: and they shall know that I am the Lord their God. Ezec. 28:26
Speak, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, Pharao king of Egypt, thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest: The river is mine, and I made myself. Ezec. 29:3
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord: because thou hast been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel. Ezec. 29:6
And the land of Egypt shall become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord, because thou hast said: The river is mine, and I made it. Ezec. 29:9
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Ezec. 29:12
It shall be the lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more over the nations. Ezec. 29:15
And they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 29:16
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year in the first month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 29:17
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it. Ezec. 29:18
And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 29:20
In that day a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 29:21
Thus saith the Lord God: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her empire shall be brought down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord the God of hosts. Ezec. 30:6
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted. Ezec. 30:7
And they shall know that I am the Lord: when I shall have set a fire in Egypt, and all the helpers thereof shall be destroyed. Ezec. 30:8
In that day shall messengers go forth from my face in ships to destroy the confidence of Ethiopia, and there shall be dread among them in the day of Egypt: because it shall certainly come. Ezec. 30:9
And I will make the channels of the rivers dry, and will deliver the land into the hand of the wicked: and will lay waste the land and all that is therein by the hands of strangers, I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 30:12
And I will execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 30:19
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 30:20
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharao king of Egypt: and behold it is not bound up, to be healed, to be tied up with clothes, and swathed with linen, that it might recover strength, and hold the sword. Ezec. 30:21
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fall: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it forth upon the land of Egypt. Ezec. 30:25
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will scatter them through the countries, and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 30:26
¤ And it came to pass, in the eleventh year, the third month the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 31:1
For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him. Ezec. 31:9
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 31:14
I shook the nations with the sound of his fall, when I brought him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of pleasure, the choice and best in Libanus, all that were moistened with waters, were comforted in the lowest parts of the earth. Ezec. 31:16
For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword; and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. Ezec. 31:17
To whom art thou like, O thou that art famous and lofty among the trees of pleasure? Behold, thou art brought down with the trees of pleasure to the lowest parts of the earth: thou shalt sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword: this is Pharao, and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 31:18
¤ And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 32:1
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao the king of Egypt, and say to him: Thou art like the lion of the nations, and the dragon that is in the sea: and thou didst push with the horn in thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst trample upon their streams. Ezec. 32:2
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof that were beside the great waters: and the foot of man shall trouble them no more, neither shall the hoof of beasts trouble them. Ezec. 32:13
When I shall have made the land of Egypt desolate: and the land shall be destitute of her fulness, when I shall have struck all the inhabitants thereof and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 32:15
And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me saying: Ezec. 32:17
Son of man, sing a mournful song for the multitude of Egypt: and cast her down, both her, and the daughters of the mighty nations to the lowest part of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:18
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain with the sword: the sword is given, they have drawn her down, and all her people. Ezec. 32:20
The most mighty among the strong ones shall speak to him from the midst of hell, they that went down with his helpers and slept uncircumcised, slain by the sword. Ezec. 32:21
Assur is there, and all his multitude: their graves are round about him, all of them slain, and that fell by the sword. Ezec. 32:22
Whose graves are set in the lowest parts of the pit: and his multitude lay round about his grave: all of them slain, and fallen by the sword, they that heretofore spread terror in the land of the living. Ezec. 32:23
There is Elam and all his multitude round about his grave, all of them slain, and fallen by the sword; that went down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth: that caused their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:24
In the midst of the slain they have set him a bed among all his people: their graves are round about him: all these are uncircumcised, and slain by the sword: for they spread their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that descend into the pit: they are laid in the midst of the slain. Ezec. 32:25
And they shall not sleep with the brave, and with them that fell uncircumcised, that went down to hell with their weapons, and laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities were in their bones, because they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living. Ezec. 32:27
So thou also shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt sleep with them that are slain by the sword. Ezec. 32:28
There is Edom, and her kings, and all her princes, who with their army are joined with them that are slain by the sword: and have slept with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:29
There are all the princes of the north, and all the hunters: who were brought down with the slain, fearing, and confounded in their strength: who slept uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and have borne their shame with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:30
Because I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he hath slept in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword: Pharao and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 32:32
Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head. Ezec. 33:4
When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 33:8
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 33:9
Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel? Ezec. 33:11
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die. Ezec. 33:13
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die. Ezec. 33:15
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste. Ezec. 33:21
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more. Ezec. 33:22
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession. Ezec. 33:24
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance? Ezec. 33:25
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence. Ezec. 33:27
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed. Ezec. 33:29
And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each man to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Ezec. 33:30
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, for behold it is coming, then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. Ezec. 33:33
Son of man, prophesy concerning the shepherds of Israel: prophesy, and say to the shepherds: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds? Ezec. 34:2
You ate the milk, and you clothed yourselves with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed. Ezec. 34:3
The weak you have not strengthened, and that which was sick you have not healed, that which was broken you have not bound up, and that which was driven away you have not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand. Ezec. 34:4
My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks were scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them. Ezec. 34:6
As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Ezec. 34:12
I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve, and I will feed them in judgment. Ezec. 34:16
And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled. Ezec. 34:19
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests. Ezec. 34:25
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them. Ezec. 34:27
And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God. Ezec. 34:30
I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 35:4
And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth. Ezec. 35:7
And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword. Ezec. 35:8
I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 35:9
And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying. They are desolate, they are given to us to consume. Ezec. 35:12
As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 35:15
Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about. Ezec. 36:4
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame. Ezec. 36:7
And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 36:11
Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation: Ezec. 36:13
Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went. Ezec. 36:22
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. Ezec. 36:23
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations. Ezec. 36:30
And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you. Ezec. 36:31
It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel. Ezec. 36:32
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places, Ezec. 36:33
And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by, Ezec. 36:34
They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced. Ezec. 36:35
And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it. Ezec. 36:36
Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men, Ezec. 36:37
As a holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 36:38
¤ The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones. Ezec. 37:1
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 37:6
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my people: Ezec. 37:13
And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God: Ezec. 37:14
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one in his hand. Ezec. 37:19
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever. Ezec. 37:28
Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them. Ezec. 38:7
After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in it. Ezec. 38:8
Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design. Ezec. 38:10
And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates: Ezec. 38:11
To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth. Ezec. 38:12
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely? Ezec. 38:14
And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Ezec. 38:16
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them. Ezec. 38:17
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath. Ezec. 38:18
And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel: Ezec. 38:19
So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. Ezec. 38:20
And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him. Ezec. 38:22
And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 38:23
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured. Ezec. 39:4
And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 39:6
And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. Ezec. 39:7
And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:10
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. Ezec. 39:11
And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall begin to seek. Ezec. 39:14
You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat. Ezec. 39:18
And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. Ezec. 39:21
And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward. Ezec. 39:22
And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword. Ezec. 39:23
And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there. Ezec. 39:28
And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel. Ezec. 40:4
And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad; Ezec. 40:6
And the little chambers of the gate that looked eastward were three on this side, and three on that side: all three were of one measure, and the fronts of one measure, on both parts. Ezec. 40:10
And the border before the little chambers one cubit: and one cubit was the border on both sides: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side and that side. Ezec. 40:12
And the little chambers thereof three on this side, and three on that side: and the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the measure of the former gate, fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad. Ezec. 40:21
And the windows thereof, and the porch, and the gravings according to the measure of the gate that looked to the east, and they went up to it by seven steps, and a porch was before it. Ezec. 40:22
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the east: and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits. Ezec. 40:23
And he brought me out to the way of the south, and behold the gate that looked to the south: and he measured the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:24
And there were seven steps to go up to it: and a porch before the doors thereof: and there were graven palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side in the front thereof. Ezec. 40:26
And the porch thereof, that is, of the outward court: and the graven palm trees in the front thereof on this side and on that side: and the going up thereof was by eight steps. Ezec. 40:34
And he brought me into the gate that looked to the north: and he measured according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:35
And the porch thereof looked to the outward court: and the graving of palm trees in the front thereof was on this side and on that side: and the going up to it was by eight steps. Ezec. 40:37
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side: that the holocaust, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering might be slain thereon. Ezec. 40:39
And on the outward side, which goeth up to the entry of the gate that looketh toward the north, were two tables: and at the other side before the porch of the gate were two tables, Ezec. 40:40
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side at the sides of the gate were eight tables, upon which they slew the victims. Ezec. 40:41
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singing men in the inner court, which was on the side of the gate that looketh to the north: and their prospect was towards the south, one at the side of the east gate, which looketh toward the north. Ezec. 40:44
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple. Ezec. 40:45
But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him. Ezec. 40:46
And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple. Ezec. 40:47
And he brought me into the porch of the temple: and he measured the porch five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. Ezec. 40:48
And the length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and there were eight steps to go up to it. And there were pillars in the fronts: one on this side, and another on that side. Ezec. 40:49
¤ And he brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of the tabernacle. Ezec. 41:1
And the breadth of the gate was ten cubits: and the sides of the gate five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. Ezec. 41:2
And the side chambers one by another, were twice thirty-three: and they bore outwards, that they might enter in through the wall of the house in the sides round about, to hold in, and not to touch the wall of the temple. Ezec. 41:6
And the building that was separate, and turned to the way that looked toward the sea, was seventy cubits broad and the wall of the building, five cubits thick round about: and ninety cubits long. Ezec. 41:12
And there were cherubims and palm trees wrought, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub, and every cherub had two faces. Ezec. 41:18
Upon which were the oblique windows, and the representation of palm trees on this side, and on that side in the sides of the porch, according to the sides of the house, and the breadth of the walls. Ezec. 41:26
¤ And he brought me forth into the outward court by the way that leadeth to the north, and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate building, and over against the house toward the north. Ezec. 42:1
Over against the twenty cubits of the inner court, and over against the pavement of the outward court that was paved with stone, where there was a gallery joined to a triple gallery. Ezec. 42:3
And the outward wall that went about by the chambers, which were towards the outward court on the forepart of the chambers, was fifty cubits long. Ezec. 42:7
And there was under these chambers, an entrance from the east, for them that went into them out of the outward court. Ezec. 42:9
In the breadth of the outward wall of the court that was toward the east, over against the separate building, and there were chambers before the building. Ezec. 42:10
According to the doors of the chambers that were towards the south: there was a door in the head of the way, which way was before the porch, separated towards the east as one entereth in. Ezec. 42:12
And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place. Ezec. 42:13
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about. Ezec. 42:15
¤ And he brought me to the gate that looked towards the east. Ezec. 43:1
And the majesty of the Lord went into the temple by the way of the gate that looked to the east. Ezec. 43:4
And I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and the man that stood by me, Ezec. 43:6
And be ashamed of all that they have done. Shew them the form of the house, and of the fashion thereof, the goings out and the comings in, and the whole plan thereof, and all its ordinances, and all its order, and all its laws, and thou shalt write it in their sight: that they may keep the whole form thereof, and its ordinances, and do them. Ezec. 43:11
And he said to me: Son of man, thus saith the Lord God: These are the ceremonies of the altar, in what day soever it shall be made: that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood poured out. Ezec. 43:18
And thou shalt give to the priests, and the Levites, that are of the race of Sadoc, who approach to me, saith the Lord God, to offer to me a calf of the herd for sin. Ezec. 43:19
And thou shalt take the calf, that is offered for sin: and thou shalt burn him in a separate place of the house without the sanctuary. Ezec. 43:21
And the Lord said to me: Son of man, attend with thy heart and behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, all that I say to thee concerning all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the laws thereof: and mark well the ways of the temple, with all the goings out of the sanctuary. Ezec. 44:5
And thou shalt say to the house of Israel that provoketh me: Thus saith the Lord God: Let all your wicked doings suffice you, O house of Israel: Ezec. 44:6
In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings. Ezec. 44:7
Thus saith the Lord God: No stranger uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, no stranger that is in the midst of the children of Israel. Ezec. 44:9
Moreover the Levites that went away far from me, when the children of Israel went astray, and have wandered from me after their idols, and have borne their iniquity: Ezec. 44:10
And they shall not come near to me, to do the office of priest to me, neither shall they come near to any of my holy things that are by the holy of holies: but they shall bear their shame, and their wickednesses which they have committed. Ezec. 44:13
And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein. Ezec. 44:14
They shall have linen mitres on their heads, and linen breeches on their loins, and they shall not be girded with any thing that causeth sweat. Ezec. 44:18
Neither shall they take to wife a widow, nor one that is divorced, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel: but they may take a widow also, that is, the widow of a priest. Ezec. 44:22
And they shall come near no dead person, lest they be defiled, only their father and mother, and son and daughter, and brother and sister, that hath not had another husband: for whom they may become unclean. Ezec. 44:25
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 44:27
And the firstfruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations of all things that are offered, shall be the priest's: and you shall give the firstfruits of your meats to the priest, that he may return a blessing upon thy house. Ezec. 44:30
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself or caught by a beast, whether it be fowl or cattle. Ezec. 44:31
And five and twenty thousand of length, and ten thousand of breadth shall be for the Levites, that minister in the house: they shall possess twenty store chambers. Ezec. 45:5
The ephi and the bate shall be equal, and of one measure: that the bate may contain the tenth part of a core, and the ephi the tenth part of a core: their weight shall be equal according to the measure of a core. Ezec. 45:11
And one ram out of a flock of two hundred, of those that Israel feedeth for sacrifice, and for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 45:15
And so shalt thou do in the seventh day of the month, for every one that hath been ignorant, and hath been deceived by error, and thou shalt make expiation for the house. Ezec. 45:20
And the prince on that day shall offer for himself, and for all the people of the land, a calf for sin. Ezec. 45:22
¤ Thus saith the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east, shall be shut the six days, on which work is done; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, yea and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. Ezec. 46:1
And the people of the land shall adore at the door of that gate before the Lord on the sabbaths, and on the new moons. Ezec. 46:3
And the holocaust that the prince shall offer to the Lord on the sabbath day, shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish. Ezec. 46:4
But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that goeth in 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 whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it. Ezec. 46:9
But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord: the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth. Ezec. 46:12
And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by violence, nor of their possession: but out of his own possession he shall give an inheritance to his sons: that my people be not dispersed every man from his possession. Ezec. 46:18
And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west. Ezec. 46:19
And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified. Ezec. 46:20
And he led me out by the way of the north gate, and he caused me to turn to the way without the outward gate to the way that looked toward the east: and behold there ran out waters on the right side. Ezec. 47:2
And when the man that had the line in his hand went out towards the east, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water up to the ankles. Ezec. 47:3
And he said to me: These waters that issue forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and go down to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, and shall go out, and the waters shall be healed. Ezec. 47:8
And every living creature that creepeth whithersoever the torrent shall come, shall live: and there shall be fishes in abundance after these waters shall come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live to which the torrent shall come. Ezec. 47:9
And by the torrent on the banks thereof on both sides shall grow all trees that bear fruit: their leaf shall not fall off, and their fruit shall not fail: every month shall they bring forth firstfruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for food, and the leaves thereof for medicine. Ezec. 47:12
And you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that shall come over to you, that shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as men of the same country born among the children of Israel: they shall divide the possession with you in the midst of the tribes of Israel. Ezec. 47:22
But the five thousand that remain in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city for dwelling, and for suburbs and the city shall be in the midst thereof. Ezec. 48:15
And the residue in length by the firstfruits of the sanctuary, ten thousand toward the east, and ten thousand toward the west, shall be as the firstfruits of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for bread to them that serve the city. Ezec. 48:18
And they that serve the city, shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. Ezec. 48:19
Its circumference was eighteen thousand: and the name of the city from that day, The Lord is there. Ezec. 48:35
And the king spoke to Asphenez, the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes, Dan. 1:3
Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king's palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans. Dan. 1:4
And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king. Dan. 1:5
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king's table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled. Dan. 1:8
And look upon our faces, and the faces of the children that eat of the king's meat: and as thou shalt see, deal with thy servants. Dan. 1:13
And after ten days, their faces appeared fairer and fatter than all the children that ate of the king's meat. Dan. 1:15
So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse. Dan. 1:16
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom. Dan. 1:20
The king answered and said: I know for certain, that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me. Dan. 2:8
If, therefore, you tell me not the dream, there is one sentence concerning you, that you have also framed a lying interpretation, and full of deceit, to speak before me till the time pass away. Tell me, therefore, the dream, that I may know that you also give a true interpretation thereof. Dan. 2:9
Then the Chaldeans answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king; neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean. Dan. 2:10
For the thing that thou asketh, O king, is difficult: nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men. Dan. 2:11
Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death. Dan. 2:12
And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel, Dan. 2:15
Daniel went in, and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question, and declare it to the king. Dan. 2:16
To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven, concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:18
And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms, and establisheth them: giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding: Dan. 2:21
Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king. Dan. 2:25
The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof? Dan. 2:26
And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers, can declare to the king. Dan. 2:27
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these: Dan. 2:28
Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass. Dan. 2:29
To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind. Dan. 2:30
Thus thou sawest, till a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands: and it struck the statue upon the feet thereof that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Dan. 2:34
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of a summer's threshing floor, and they were carried away by the wind: and there was no place found for them: but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. Dan. 2:35
And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break, and destroy all these. Dan. 2:40
But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people: and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms: and itself shall stand for ever. Dan. 2:44
According as thou sawest, that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces the clay and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful. Dan. 2:45
Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense. Dan. 2:46
¤ Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim: Dan. 13:1
And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helcias, a very beautiful woman, and one that feared God. Dan. 13:2
And there were two of the ancients of the people appointed judges that year, of whom the Lord said: That iniquity came out from Babylon, from the ancient judges, that seemed to govern the people. Dan. 13:5
These men frequented the house of Joakim, and all that had any matters of judgment came to them. Dan. 13:6
And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments. Dan. 13:9
And there was nobody there, but the two old men that had hid themselves, and were beholding her. Dan. 13:16
So she said to the maids: Bring me oil, and washing balls, and shut the doors of the orchard, that I may wash me. Dan. 13:17
And they did as she bade them: and they shut the doors of the orchard, and went out by a back door to fetch what she had commanded them, and they knew not that the elders were hid within. Dan. 13:18
But if thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee, and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee. Dan. 13:21
With that Susanna cried out with a loud voice: and the elders also cried out against her. Dan. 13:24
But those wicked men commanded that her face should be uncovered, (for she was covered) that so at least they might be satisfied with her beauty. Dan. 13:32
Then a young man that was there hid came to her, and lay with her. Dan. 13:37
But we that were in a corner of the orchard, seeing this wickedness, ran up to them, and we saw them lie together. Dan. 13:38
Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me: and behold I must die, whereas I have done none of these things, which these men have maliciously forged against me. Dan. 13:43
Then all the people turning themselves towards him, said: What meaneth this word that thou hast spoken? Dan. 13:47
But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel? Dan. 13:48
So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before: Dan. 13:52
And having put him aside, he commanded that the other should come, and he said to him: O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thy heart: Dan. 13:56
With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and they blessed God, who saveth them that trust in him. Dan. 13:60
To fulfil the law of Moses: and they put them to death, and innocent blood was saved in that day. Dan. 13:62
And Daniel became great in the sight of the people from that day, and thence forward. Dan. 13:64
Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. Dan. 3:3
That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music, ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up. Dan. 3:5
And presently at that very time some Chaldeans came and accused the Jews, Dan. 3:8
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue: Dan. 3:10
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:11
Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king. Dan. 3:13
And Nabuchodonosor, the king, spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up? Dan. 3:14
Now, therefore, if you be ready, at what hour soever, you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, harp, sackbut, and psaltery, and symphony, and of all kind of music, prostrate yourselves, and adore the statue which I have made: but if you do not adore, you shall be cast the same hour into the furnace of burning fire: and who is the God that shall deliver you out of my hand? Dan. 3:15
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up. Dan. 3:18
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated. Dan. 3:19
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:20
For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago. Dan. 3:22
But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:23
For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true. Dan. A:4
For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem, the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins. Dan. A:5
And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us. Dan. A:7
Wherefore, all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment: Dan. A:8
And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth. Dan. A:9
And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame, and a reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee. Dan. A:10
To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore. Dan. A:13
That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless, in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted. Dan. A:16
As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee. Dan. A:17
And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken: Dan. A:21
And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the world. Dan. A:22
Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks, Dan. A:23
Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the cherubims: and worthy to be praised and exalted above all for ever. Dan. A:32
O all ye waters that are above the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:37
O all ye things that spring up in the earth, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:53
O ye whales, and all that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. Dan. A:56
And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king, being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them. Dan. 3:27
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god except their own God. Dan. 3:28
By me, therefore, this decree is made: That every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner. Dan. 3:29
¤ Nabuchodonosor, the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you. Dan. 4:1
I saw a dream that affrighted me: and my thoughts in my bed, and the visions of my head, troubled me. Dan. 4:5
Then I set forth a decree, that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought in before me, and that they should shew me the interpretation of the dream. Dan. 4:6
Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee, tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them? Dan. 4:9
He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches. Dan. 4:14
Nevertheless, leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and let it be tied with a band of iron and of brass, among the grass, that is without, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the wild beasts in the grass of the earth. Dan. 4:15
This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word and demand of the holy ones: till the living know, that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men: and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it. Dan. 4:17
Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies. Dan. 4:19
They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle, and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass, as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:25
But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee, after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven. Dan. 4:26
And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:32
Now at the end of the days, I, Nabuchodonosor, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations. Dan. 4:34
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it? Dan. 4:35
Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 4:37
And being now drunk, he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nabuchodonosor, his father, had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. Dan. 5:2
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. Dan. 5:3
In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick, upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote. Dan. 5:5
There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor, thy father, appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king: Dan. 5:11
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation. Dan. 5:12
I have heard of thee, that thou hast the spirit of the gods, and excellent knowledge, and understanding, and wisdom are found in thee. Dan. 5:14
But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom. Dan. 5:16
And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down. Dan. 5:19
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him. Dan. 5:21
But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. Dan. 5:23
Wherefore, he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down. Dan. 5:24
And this is the writing that is written: MANE, THECEL, PHARES. Dan. 5:25
Then by the king's command, Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
And three princes over them of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble. Dan. 6:2
All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges, have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions. Dan. 6:7
Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it. Dan. 6:8
Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. Dan. 6:10
And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate. Dan. 6:12
Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer. Dan. 6:13
But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered. Dan. 6:15
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel. Dan. 6:17
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces. Dan. 6:24
It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. Dan. 6:26
And he answered, and said to him: Because I do not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh. Dan. 14:4
And the king being angry, called for his priests, and said to them: If you tell me not who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die. Dan. 14:7
But if you can shew that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because he hath blasphemed against Bel. And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word. Dan. 14:8
And when thou comest in the morning, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death, or else Daniel, that hath lied against us. Dan. 14:11
And Daniel laughed: and he held the king, that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are. Dan. 14:18
Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table. Dan. 14:20
And there was a great dragon in that place, and the Babylonians worshipped him. Dan. 14:22
And the king said to Daniel: Behold, thou canst not say now, that this is not a living god: adore him, therefore. Dan. 14:23
And Daniel said: I adore the Lord, my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god. Dan. 14:24
And the king saw that they pressed upon him violently: and being constrained by necessity: he delivered Daniel to them. Dan. 14:29
And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given to them two carcasses every day, and two sheep: but then they were not given unto them, that they might devour Daniel. Dan. 14:31
And Habacuc cried, saying: O Daniel, thou servant of God, take the dinner that God hath sent thee. Dan. 14:36
And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God, and thou hast not forsaken them that love thee. Dan. 14:37
But those that had been the cause of his destruction, he cast into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before him. Dan. 14:41
I beheld, because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt: Dan. 7:11
And that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and time. Dan. 7:12
And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed. Dan. 7:14
I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me: Dan. 7:16
And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest. Dan. 7:20
I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them, Dan. 7:21
And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end. Dan. 7:26
And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him. Dan. 7:27
Saw in my vision when I was in the castle of Susa, which is in the province of Elam: and I saw in the vision that I was over the gate of Ulai. Dan. 8:2
And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength. Dan. 8:6
And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another I know not to whom, that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot? Dan. 8:13
And it came to pass when I, Daniel, saw the vision, and sought the meaning, that behold there stood before me as it were the appearance of a man. Dan. 8:15
And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king. Dan. 8:21
But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it, four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength. Dan. 8:22
And I, Daniel, languished, and was sick for some days: and when I was risen up, I did the king's business, and I was astonished at the vision, and there was none that could interpret it. Dan. 8:27
The first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem. Dan. 9:2
And I prayed to the Lord, my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments. Dan. 9:4
We have not hearkened to thy servants, the prophets, that have spoken in thy name to our kings, to our princes, to our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Dan. 9:6
To thee, O Lord, justice: but to us confusion of face, as at this day to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, to them that are near, and to them that are far off, in all the countries whither thou hast driven them, for their iniquities, by which they have sinned against thee. Dan. 9:7
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our princes, and to our fathers, that have sinned. Dan. 9:8
And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem. Dan. 9:12
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: and we entreated not thy face, O Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and think on thy truth. Dan. 9:13
O Lord, against all thy justice: let thy wrath and thy indignation be turned away, I beseech thee, from thy city, Jerusalem, and from thy holy mountain. For by reason of our sins, and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem, and thy people, are a reproach to all that are round about us. Dan. 9:16
Incline, O my God, thy ear, and hear: open thy eyes, and see our desolation, and the city upon which thy name is called: for it is not for our justifications that we present our prayers before thy face, but for the multitude of thy tender mercies. Dan. 9:18
And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand. Dan. 9:22
Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the Saint of saints may be anointed. Dan. 9:24
Know thou, therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ, the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls, in straitness of times. Dan. 9:25
And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people, with their leader, that shall come, shall destroy the city, and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation. Dan. 9:26
And I, Daniel alone, saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves. Dan. 10:7
And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling. Dan. 10:11
And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words. Dan. 10:12
And behold as it were the likeness of a son of man touched my lips: then I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to him that stood before me: O my lord, at the sight of thee my joints are loosed, and no strength hath remained in me. Dan. 10:16
Therefore, he that looked like a man, touched me again, and strengthened me. Dan. 10:18
¤ And from the first year of Darius, the Mede, I stood up, that he might be strengthened, and confirmed. Dan. 11:1
And after the end of years they shall be in league together: and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make friendship, but she shall not obtain the strength of the arm, neither shall her seed stand: and she shall be given up, and her young men that brought her, and they that strengthened her in these times. Dan. 11:6
And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time. Dan. 11:24
And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain. Dan. 11:26
And the galleys and the Romans shall come upon him, and he shall be struck, and shall return, and shall have indignation against the covenant of the sanctuary, and he shall succeed: and he shall return, and shall devise against them that have forsaken the covenant of the sanctuary. Dan. 11:30
And such as deal wickedly against the covenant shall deceitfully dissemble: but the people that know their God shall prevail and succeed. Dan. 11:32
And they that are learned among the people shall teach many: and they shall fall by the sword, and by fire, and by captivity, and by spoil for many days. Dan. 11:33
And some of the learned shall fall, that they may be tried, and may be chosen, and made white, even to the appointed time: because yet there shall be another time. Dan. 11:35
¤ But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come, such as never was from the time that nations began, even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book. Dan. 12:1
And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always. Dan. 12:2
But they that are learned, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity. Dan. 12:3
And I, Daniel, looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on the other bank of the river. Dan. 12:5
And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? Dan. 12:6
And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. Dan. 12:7
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh unto a thousand three hundred thirty-five days. Dan. 12:12
‡ ¤ The word of the Lord, that came to Osee, the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joas, king of Israel. Osee 1:1

And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people. Zach. 11:10
And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord. Zach. 11:11
And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary. Zach. 11:13
And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel. Zach. 11:14
For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs. Zach. 11:16
O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. Zach. 11:17
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her. Zach. 12:3
In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness. Zach. 12:4
In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem. Zach. 12:6
And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda. Zach. 12:7
In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight. Zach. 12:8
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Zach. 12:9
In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon. Zach. 12:11
¤ In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: for the washing of the sinner, and of the unclean woman. Zach. 13:1
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will destroy the names of idols out of the earth, and they shall be remembered no more: and I will take away the false prophets, and the unclean spirit out of the earth. Zach. 13:2
And it shall come to pass, that when any man shall prophesy any more, his father and his mother that brought him into the world, shall say to him: Thou shalt not live: because thou hast spoken a lie in the name of the Lord. And his father, and his mother, his parents, shall thrust him through, when he shall prophesy. Zach. 13:3
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be confounded, every one by his own vision, when he shall prophesy, neither shall they be clad with a garment of sackcloth, to deceive: Zach. 13:4
And they shall say to him: What are these wounds in the midst of thy hands? And he shall say: With these I was wounded in the house of them that loved me. Zach. 13:6
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that cleaveth to me, saith the Lord of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand to the little ones. Zach. 13:7
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is over against Jerusalem towards the east: and the mount of Olives shall be divided in the midst thereof to the east, and to the west with a very great opening, and half of the mountain shall be separated to the north, and half thereof to the south. Zach. 14:4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall be no light, but cold and frost. Zach. 14:6
And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them to the east sea, and half of them to the last sea: they shall be in summer and in winter. Zach. 14:8
And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day there shall be one Lord, and his name shall be one. Zach. 14:9
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall strike all nations that have fought against Jerusalem: the flesh of every one shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. Zach. 14:12
In that day there shall be a great tumult from the Lord among them: and a man shall take the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall be clasped upon his neighbour's hand. Zach. 14:13
And the destruction of the horse, and of the mule, and of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts, that shall be in those tents, shall be like this destruction. Zach. 14:15
And all they that shall be left of all nations that came against Jerusalem, shall go up from year to year, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zach. 14:16
And it shall come to pass, that he that shall not go up of the families of the land to Jerusalem, to adore the King, the Lord of hosts, there shall be no rain upon them. Zach. 14:17
And if the family of Egypt go not up nor come: neither shall it be upon them, but there shall be destruction wherewith the Lord will strike all nations that will not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zach. 14:18
This shall be the sin of Egypt, and this the sin of all nations, that will not go up to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zach. 14:19
In that day that which is upon the bridle of the horse shall be holy to the Lord: and the caldrons in the house of the Lord shall be as the phials before the altar. Zach. 14:20
And every caldron in Jerusalem and Juda shall be sanctified to the Lord of hosts: and all that sacrifice shall come, and take of them, and shall seethe in them: and the merchant shall be no more in the house of the Lord of hosts in that day. Zach. 14:21
To you, O priests, that despise my name, and have said: Wherein have we despised thy name? You offer polluted bread upon my altar, and you say: Wherein have we polluted thee? In that you say: The table of the Lord is contemptible. Mal. 1:7
And now beseech ye the face of God, that he may have mercy on you, (for by your hand hath this been done,) if by any means he will receive your faces, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 1:9
Who is there among you, that will shut the doors, and will kindle the fire on my altar gratis? I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will not receive a gift of your hand. Mal. 1:10
And you have profaned it in that you say: The table of the Lord is defiled: and that which is laid thereupon is contemptible with the fire that devoureth it. Mal. 1:12
Cursed is the deceitful man that hath in his flock a male, and making a vow offereth in sacrifice that which is feeble to the Lord: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the Gentiles. Mal. 1:14
And you shall know that I sent you this commandment, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 2:4
The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts. Mal. 2:12
And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands. Mal. 2:13
You have wearied the Lord with your words, and you said: Wherein have we wearied him? In that you say: Every one that doth evil, is good in the sight of the Lord, and such please him: or surely where is the God of judgment? Mal. 2:17
And I will come to you in judgment, and will be a speedy witness against sorcerers, and adulterers, and false swearers, and them that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widows, and the fatherless: and oppress the stranger, and have not feared me, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 3:5
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and try me in this, saith the Lord: if I open not unto you the flood-gates of heaven, and pour you out a blessing even to abundance. Mal. 3:10
And you have said: What have we spoken against thee? You have said: He laboureth in vain that serveth God, and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinances, and that we have walked sorrowful before the Lord of hosts? Mal. 3:14
Wherefore now we call the proud people happy, for they that work wickedness are built up, and they have tempted God and are preserved. Mal. 3:15
Then they that feared the Lord, spoke every one with his neighbour: and the Lord gave ear, and heard it: and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that fear the Lord, and think on his name. Mal. 3:16
And they shall be my special possession, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day that I do judgment: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him. Mal. 3:17
And you shall return, and shall see the difference between the just and the wicked: and between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not. Mal. 3:18
¤ For behold the day shall come kindled as a furnace: and all the proud, and all that do wickedly shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall set them on fire, saith the Lord of hosts, it shall not leave them root, nor branch. Mal. 4:1
But unto you that fear my name, the Sun of justice shall arise, and health in his wings: and you shall go forth, and shall leap like calves of the herd. Mal. 4:2
And you shall tread down the wicked when they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet in the day that I do this, saith the Lord of hosts. Mal. 4:3
‡ ¤ Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius, king of the Persians and Medes: 1 Ma. 1:1
And after these things, he fell down upon his bed, and knew that he should die. 1 Ma. 1:6
And he called his servants, the nobles that were brought up with him from his youth: and he divided his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. 1 Ma. 1:7
In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us. 1 Ma. 1:12
And the kingdom was established before Antiochus, and he had a mind to reign over the land of Egypt, that he might reign over two kingdoms. 1 Ma. 1:17
And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces. 1 Ma. 1:23
Every bridegroom took up lamentation: and the bride that sat in the marriage bed, mourned: 1 Ma. 1:28
And king Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should be one: and every one should leave his own law. 1 Ma. 1:43
And the king sent letters by the hands of messengers to Jerusalem, and to all the cities of Juda; that they should follow the law of the nations of the earth. 1 Ma. 1:46
And that they should leave their children uncircumcised, and let their souls be defiled with all uncleannesses, and abominations, to the end that they should forget the law, and should change all the justifications of God. 1 Ma. 1:51
And that whosoever would not do according to the word of king Antiochus, should be put to death. 1 Ma. 1:52
According to all these words he wrote to his whole kingdom: and he appointed rulers over the people that should force them to do these things. 1 Ma. 1:53
Then many of the people were gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they committed evils in the land: 1 Ma. 1:55
Thus by their power did they deal with the people of Israel, that were found in the cities month after month. 1 Ma. 1:61
And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God. 1 Ma. 1:62
Now the women that circumcised their children were slain according to the commandment of king Antiochus, 1 Ma. 1:63
And they hanged the children about their necks in all their houses: and those that had circumcised them, they put to death. 1 Ma. 1:64
And many of the people of Israel determined with themselves, that they would not eat unclean things: and they chose rather to die, than to be defiled with unclean meats: 1 Ma. 1:65
These saw the evils that were done in the people of Juda, and in Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 2:6
All her ornaments are taken away. She that was free is made a slave. 1 Ma. 2:11
And they that were sent from king Antiochus, came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God. 1 Ma. 2:15
And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren. 1 Ma. 2:17
Therefore, come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents. 1 Ma. 2:18
And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me. 1 Ma. 2:27
So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city. 1 Ma. 2:28
Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert 1 Ma. 2:29
And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them. 1 Ma. 2:31
Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully. 1 Ma. 2:37
And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places. 1 Ma. 2:41
Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law. 1 Ma. 2:42
And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them. 1 Ma. 2:43
And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly. 1 Ma. 2:46
Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation: 1 Ma. 2:49
And thus consider, through all generations: that none that trust in him, fail in strength. 1 Ma. 2:61
And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you. 1 Ma. 2:65
And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people. 1 Ma. 2:67
And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel. 1 Ma. 3:2
And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire: 1 Ma. 3:5
And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing. 1 Ma. 3:9
And Seron, captain of the army of Syria, heard that Judas had assembled a company of the faithful, and a congregation with him, 1 Ma. 3:13
And he said I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king. 1 Ma. 3:14
And he opened his treasury, and gave out pay to the army for a year: and he commanded them, that they should be ready for all things. 1 Ma. 3:28
And he perceived that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes of the country were small, because of the dissension, and the evil that he had brought upon the land, that he might take away the laws of old times: 1 Ma. 3:29
And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him. 1 Ma. 3:30
And he delivered to him half the army, and the elephants: and he gave him charge concerning all that he would have done, and concerning the inhabitants of Judea, and Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 3:34
And that he should send an army against them to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away the memory of them from that place. 1 Ma. 3:35
And that he should settle strangers, to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot. 1 Ma. 3:36
So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch, the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries. 1 Ma. 3:37
And Judas, and his brethren, saw that evils were multiplied, and that the armies approached to their borders: and they knew the orders the king had given to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them. 1 Ma. 3:42
And the assembly was gathered, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion. 1 Ma. 3:44
Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there. 1 Ma. 3:45
And they fasted that day, and put on haircloth, and put ashes upon their heads: and they rent their garments: 1 Ma. 3:47
And they brought the priestly ornaments, and the first fruits and tithes, and stirred up the Nazarites that had fulfilled their days: 1 Ma. 3:49
And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law. 1 Ma. 3:56
And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary. 1 Ma. 3:58
That they might come upon the camp of the Jews and strike them suddenly: and the men that were of the castle were their guides. 1 Ma. 4:2
And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus. 1 Ma. 4:3
And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war. 1 Ma. 4:7
And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault. 1 Ma. 4:8
And all nations shall know that there is one that redeemeth and delivereth Israel. 1 Ma. 4:11
And they went out of the camp to battle, and they that were with Judas sounded the trumpet. 1 Ma. 4:13
And Judas returned again with his army that followed him. 1 Ma. 4:16
And Gorgias saw that his men were put to flight, and that they had set fire to the camp: for the smoke that was seen declared what was done. 1 Ma. 4:20
So Israel had a great deliverance that day. 1 Ma. 4:25
And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that had happened. 1 Ma. 4:26
So the year following, Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. 1 Ma. 4:28
And they saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said: Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst break the violence of the mighty by the hand of thy servant David, and didst deliver up the camp of the strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armour bearer. 1 Ma. 4:30
Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee: and let all that know thy name praise thee with hymns. 1 Ma. 4:33
And when Lysias saw that his men were put to flight, and how bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers. 1 Ma. 4:35
Then Judas appointed men to fight against them that were in the castle, till they had cleansed the holy places, 1 Ma. 4:41
And they cleansed the holy places, and took away the stones that had been defiled into an unclean place. 1 Ma. 4:43
And he considered about the altar of holocausts that had been profaned, what he should do with it. 1 Ma. 4:44
And they built up the holy places, and the things that were within the temple: and they sanctified the temple and the courts. 1 Ma. 4:48
And they put incense upon the altar, and lighted up the lamps that were upon the candlestick, and they gave light in the temple. 1 Ma. 4:50
And they set the loaves upon the table, and hung up the veils, and finished all the works that they had begun to make. 1 Ma. 4:51
And all the people fell upon their faces, and adored, and blessed up to heaven, him that had prospered them. 1 Ma. 4:55
And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness. 1 Ma. 4:59
They built up also at that time Mount Sion, with high walls, and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should at any time come, and tread it down, as they did before. 1 Ma. 4:60
And he placed a garrison there, to keep it, and he fortified it, to secure Bethsura, that the people might have a defence against Idumea. 1 Ma. 4:61
¤ Now it came to pass, when the nations round about heard that the altar and the sanctuary were built up, as before, that they were exceeding angry. 1 Ma. 5:1
And they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them. 1 Ma. 5:2
Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites round about, and he made a great slaughter of them. 1 Ma. 5:3
And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them. 1 Ma. 5:5
And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman. 1 Ma. 5:9
And they sent letters to Judas, and his brethren, saying: The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us to destroy us: 1 Ma. 5:10
And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men. 1 Ma. 5:13
Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us. 1 Ma. 5:15
Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them. 1 Ma. 5:16
And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis, with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy. 1 Ma. 5:23
And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad, 1 Ma. 5:25
And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim; all these strong and great cities. 1 Ma. 5:26
Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day. 1 Ma. 5:27
And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them. 1 Ma. 5:30
And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city: 1 Ma. 5:31
And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face and they made a great slaughter of them, and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men. 1 Ma. 5:34
And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great: 1 Ma. 5:38
And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim. 1 Ma. 5:43
And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas. 1 Ma. 5:44
And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 5:45
And they that were in the city shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words, 1 Ma. 5:47
Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault, every man in the place where he was. 1 Ma. 5:49
And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night; and the city was delivered into his hands: 1 Ma. 5:50
And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain. 1 Ma. 5:51
Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan. 1 Ma. 5:52
Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee, before Ptolemais, 1 Ma. 5:55
Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought, 1 Ma. 5:56
And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us. 1 Ma. 5:57
And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia. 1 Ma. 5:58
And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell on that day, of the people of Israel, about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people: 1 Ma. 5:60
Because they did not hearken to Judas and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully. 1 Ma. 5:61
In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight. 1 Ma. 5:67
¤ Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia, was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold, 1 Ma. 6:1
And that there was in it a temple exceeding rich; and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which king Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian, that reigned first in Greece, had left there. 1 Ma. 6:2
So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city. 1 Ma. 6:3
And whilst he was in Persia there came one that told him how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight: 1 Ma. 6:5
And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils which they had gotten out of the camps which they had destroyed: 1 Ma. 6:6
And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. 1 Ma. 6:7
And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined. 1 Ma. 6:8
And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die. 1 Ma. 6:9
And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power! 1 Ma. 6:11
But now I remember the evils that I did in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver, that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause. 1 Ma. 6:12
I know, therefore, that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land. 1 Ma. 6:13
And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus, his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:15
And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus, his son, to reign, whom he had brought up young: and he called his name Eupator. 1 Ma. 6:17
Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles. 1 Ma. 6:18
Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen. 1 Ma. 6:28
And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side, at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof. 1 Ma. 6:38
And Eleazar, the son of Saura, saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts; and it seemed to him that the king was on it: 1 Ma. 6:43
And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side. 1 Ma. 6:45
And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land. 1 Ma. 6:49
But there were no victuals in the city, because it was the seventh year: and such as had stayed in Judea of them that came from among the nations, had eaten the residue of all that which had been stored up. 1 Ma. 6:53
Now Lysias heard that Philip; whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son, Antiochus, and to reign, 1 Ma. 6:55
Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom: 1 Ma. 6:56
Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:57
And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws, as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things. 1 Ma. 6:59
Then the king entered into Mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about. 1 Ma. 6:62
And it came to pass as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him. 1 Ma. 7:2
Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends, that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him, 1 Ma. 7:8
To see the havoc that Judas had made: and the wicked Alcimus he made high priest, and commanded him to take revenge upon the children of Israel. 1 Ma. 7:9
But they gave no heed to their words: for they saw that they were come with a great army. 1 Ma. 7:11
Then there assembled to Alcimus and Bacchides a company of the scribes, to require things that are just: 1 Ma. 7:12
And first the Assideans, that were among the children of Israel, and they sought peace of them. 1 Ma. 7:13
For they said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come, he will not deceive us. 1 Ma. 7:14
And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written: 1 Ma. 7:16
And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit. 1 Ma. 7:19
And they that disturbed the people resorted to him, and they got the land of Juda into their power, and did much hurt in Israel. 1 Ma. 7:22
And Judas saw all the evils that Alcimus, and they that were with him, did to the children of Israel, much more than the Gentiles. 1 Ma. 7:23
And he went out into all the coasts of Juda round about, and took vengeance upon the men that had revolted, and they ceased to go forth any more into the country. 1 Ma. 7:24
And Alcimus saw that Judas and they that were with him, prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes. 1 Ma. 7:25
And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more. 1 Ma. 7:30
And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas, near Capharsalama. 1 Ma. 7:31
And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king. 1 Ma. 7:33
Thou, O Lord, hast chosen this house for thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for thy people. 1 Ma. 7:37
O Lord, when they that were sent by king Sennacherib blasphemed thee, an angel went out, and slew of them a hundred and eighty-five thousand: 1 Ma. 7:41
Even so destroy this army in our sight today and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 1 Ma. 7:42
And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain they threw away their weapons, and fled: 1 Ma. 7:44
And the people rejoiced exceedingly, and they spent that day with great joy. 1 Ma. 7:48
And he ordained that this day should be kept every year, being the thirteenth of the month of Adar 1 Ma. 7:49
¤ Now Judas heard of the fame of the Romans, that they are powerful and strong, and willingly agree to all things that are requested of them: and that whosoever have come to them, they have made amity with them, and that they are mighty in power. 1 Ma. 8:1
And how great things they had done in the land of Spain, and that they had brought under their power the mines of silver and of gold that are there, and had gotten possession of all the place by their counsel and patience: 1 Ma. 8:3
And had conquered places that were very far off from them, and kings that came against them from the ends of the earth, and had overthrown them with great slaughter: and the rest pay them tribute every year. 1 Ma. 8:4
And that they had defeated in battle Philip and Perses the king of the Ceteans, and the rest that had borne arms against them, and had conquered them: 1 Ma. 8:5
And how they took him alive, and appointed to him, that both he and they that should reign after him, should pay a great tribute, and that he should give hostages, and that which was agreed upon, 1 Ma. 8:7
And that they who were in Greece, had a mind to go and to destroy them: and they had knowledge thereof, 1 Ma. 8:9
And the other kingdoms, and islands, that at any time had resisted them, they had destroyed and brought under their power. 1 Ma. 8:11
But with their friends, and such as relied upon them, they kept amity, and had conquered kingdoms that were near, and that were far off: for all that heard their name, were afraid of them. 1 Ma. 8:12
That whom they had a mind to help to a kingdom, those reigned: and whom they would, they deposed from the kingdom: and they were greatly exalted. 1 Ma. 8:13
And that they had made themselves a senate house, and consulted daily three hundred and twenty men, that sat in council always for the people, that they might do the things that were right: 1 Ma. 8:15
And that they committed their government to one man every year, to rule over all their country, and they all obey one, and there is no envy nor jealousy amongst them. 1 Ma. 8:16
And that they might take off from them the yoke of the Grecians, for they saw that they oppressed the kingdom of Israel with servitude. 1 Ma. 8:18
Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us to you to make alliance and peace with you, and that we may be registered your confederates and friends. 1 Ma. 8:20
And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace, and alliance. 1 Ma. 8:22
And there shall not be given to them that come to their aid, either wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall observe their orders without deceit. 1 Ma. 8:28
Moreover, concerning the evils that Demetrius, the king, hath done against them, we have written to him, saying: Why hast thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and allies, the Jews. 1 Ma. 8:31
¤ In the mean time, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. 1 Ma. 9:1
And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people. 1 Ma. 9:2
And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men. 1 Ma. 9:6
And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged. 1 Ma. 9:7
Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them. 1 Ma. 9:8
And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers, went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour. 1 Ma. 9:11
And they also that were on Judas's side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening. 1 Ma. 9:13
And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him: 1 Ma. 9:14
And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back: 1 Ma. 9:16
And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel! 1 Ma. 9:21
But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. 1 Ma. 9:22
And it came to pass, after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up. 1 Ma. 9:23
And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel. 1 Ma. 9:27
Since thy brother Judas died there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation. 1 Ma. 9:29
So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas, his brother 1 Ma. 9:31
And Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar, 1 Ma. 9:33
And Jonathan sent his brother, a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious. 1 Ma. 9:35
And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them. 1 Ma. 9:36
After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp. 1 Ma. 9:37
For behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside. 1 Ma. 9:45
Now, therefore, cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle. 1 Ma. 9:46
And Jonathan, and they that were with him, leapt into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them. 1 Ma. 9:48
And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem, 1 Ma. 9:49
And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars. 1 Ma. 9:50
And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel: 1 Ma. 9:51
At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house. 1 Ma. 9:55
And Alcimus died at that time in great torment. 1 Ma. 9:56
And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years. 1 Ma. 9:57
And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease and without fear: now, therefore, let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night. 1 Ma. 9:58
And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. 1 Ma. 9:60
And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and he slew them. 1 Ma. 9:61
And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it. 1 Ma. 9:62
And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea. 1 Ma. 9:63
But Simon, and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines, 1 Ma. 9:67
And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country. 1 Ma. 9:69
And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life. 1 Ma. 9:71
For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation. 1 Ma. 10:5
And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him. 1 Ma. 10:6
And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle. 1 Ma. 10:7
And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army. 1 Ma. 10:8
Then the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away. 1 Ma. 10:12
Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them. 1 Ma. 10:14
And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured. 1 Ma. 10:15
We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend: 1 Ma. 10:19
Now therefore, we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us. 1 Ma. 10:20
What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself? 1 Ma. 10:23
I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me. 1 Ma. 10:24
And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth, and for ever: 1 Ma. 10:30
I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose, to keep it. 1 Ma. 10:32
And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes, even of their cattle. 1 Ma. 10:33
And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:34
And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 10:37
And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest: 1 Ma. 10:38
Ptolemais and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things. 1 Ma. 10:39
And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house. 1 Ma. 10:41
Moreover, the five thousand sicles of silver, which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry. 1 Ma. 10:42
And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free. 1 Ma. 10:43
Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them, nor received them because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly. 1 Ma. 10:46
And the battle was hard fought, till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day. 1 Ma. 10:50
And now I will do to thee as thou hast written but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said. 1 Ma. 10:56
And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him. 1 Ma. 10:59
And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself. 1 Ma. 10:62
And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. 1 Ma. 10:63
Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land: 1 Ma. 10:72
And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe. 1 Ma. 10:76
And he went to Azotus, as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle. 1 Ma. 10:78
And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening. 1 Ma. 10:80
And they that were scattered about the plain fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, there to save themselves. 1 Ma. 10:83
But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were round about it, and took the spoils of them and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire. 1 Ma. 10:84
So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men. 1 Ma. 10:85
And it came to pass, when Alexander, the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more. 1 Ma. 10:88
¤ And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom. 1 Ma. 11:1
And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof, that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way. 1 Ma. 11:4
And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace. 1 Ma. 11:5
For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me. 1 Ma. 11:10
And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia. 1 Ma. 11:13
Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled. 1 Ma. 11:14
And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp. 1 Ma. 11:18
In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it. 1 Ma. 11:20
Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle. 1 Ma. 11:21
And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him. 1 Ma. 11:22
And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents. 1 Ma. 11:28
We send you here a copy of the letter which we have written to Lasthenes, our parent, concerning you, that you might know it. 1 Ma. 11:31
We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us. 1 Ma. 11:33
We have ratified, therefore, unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees. 1 Ma. 11:34
And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us. 1 Ma. 11:35
Now, therefore, see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be given to Jonathan, and set upon the holy mountain, in a conspicuous place. 1 Ma. 11:37
And king Demetrius, seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him. 1 Ma. 11:38
Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel, the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus, the son of Alexander: 1 Ma. 11:39
And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days. 1 Ma. 11:40
And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel. 1 Ma. 11:41
And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king. 1 Ma. 11:45
And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king. 1 Ma. 11:48
And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying 1 Ma. 11:49
And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils. 1 Ma. 11:51
And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils. 1 Ma. 11:61
And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom. 1 Ma. 11:63
And they that lay in ambush rose out of their places, and joined battle. 1 Ma. 11:69
And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias, the son of Absalom, and Judas, the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army. 1 Ma. 11:70
And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies, even to Cades, to their own camp, and they came even thither. 1 Ma. 11:73
And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 11:74
¤ And Jonathan saw that the time served him, and he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, to confirm and to renew the amity with them: 1 Ma. 12:1
There were letters sent long ago to Onias the high priest, from Arius, who reigned then among you to signify that you are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify. 1 Ma. 12:7
We, though we needed none of these things having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands, 1 Ma. 12:9
We, therefore, at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet and becoming to remember brethren. 1 Ma. 12:11
But we have had many troubles and wars on every side; and the kings that are round about us have fought against us. 1 Ma. 12:13
It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham. 1 Ma. 12:21
And we also have written back to you, That our cattle, and our possessions, are yours: and yours, ours. We, therefore, have commanded that these things should be told you. 1 Ma. 12:23
Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him. 1 Ma. 12:24
And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back, and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night. 1 Ma. 12:26
And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. 1 Ma. 12:28
But Jonathan, and they that were with him, knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning. 1 Ma. 12:29
And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians, that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them. 1 Ma. 12:31
And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country. 1 Ma. 12:32
(For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius) and he put a garrison there to keep it. 1 Ma. 12:34
And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell. 1 Ma. 12:36
And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook, towards the east, was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha: 1 Ma. 12:37
Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him. 1 Ma. 12:42
Now, therefore, send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming. 1 Ma. 12:45
Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword. 1 Ma. 12:48
But they, when they understood that Jonathan, and all that were with him, were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle. 1 Ma. 12:50
Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back. 1 Ma. 12:51
Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda and they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation. 1 Ma. 12:52
Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For they said: 1 Ma. 12:53
¤ Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it. 1 Ma. 13:1
And seeing that the people was in dread and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people, 1 Ma. 13:2
And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen: 1 Ma. 13:3
And he sent Jonathan, the son of Absalom, and with him a new army, into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there. 1 Ma. 13:11
And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother, Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him, 1 Ma. 13:14
Saying: We have detained thy brother, Jonathan, for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of. 1 Ma. 13:15
But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him. 1 Ma. 13:16
Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him; nevertheless, he ordered the money and the children to be sent, lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said: 1 Ma. 13:17
And after this, Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went. 1 Ma. 13:20
And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals. 1 Ma. 13:21
And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night; but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad. 1 Ma. 13:22
And round about these he set great pillars; and upon the pillars, arms, for a perpetual memory; and by the arms, ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea. 1 Ma. 13:29
This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin, even unto this day. 1 Ma. 13:30
And Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land; for all that Tryphon did, was to spoil. 1 Ma. 13:34
The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released. 1 Ma. 13:37
For all that we have decreed in your favour shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own. 1 Ma. 13:38
And they that were within the engine leapt into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city. 1 Ma. 13:44
And they that were in the city went up, with their wives and children, upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace. 1 Ma. 13:45
And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation. 1 Ma. 13:48
But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine. 1 Ma. 13:49
And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness. 1 Ma. 13:52
And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him. 1 Ma. 13:53
And Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. 1 Ma. 13:54
And Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him. 1 Ma. 14:2
And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it, and there was none that resisted him. 1 Ma. 14:7
And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. 1 Ma. 14:10
And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man. 1 Ma. 14:14
And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry. 1 Ma. 14:16
But when they heard that Simon, his brother, was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: 1 Ma. 14:17
And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent. 1 Ma. 14:19
The ambassadors that were sent to our people, have told us of your glory, and honour, and joy: and we rejoiced at their coming. 1 Ma. 14:21
And he fortified the cities of Judea and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. 1 Ma. 14:33
And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. 1 Ma. 14:35
And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David, in Jerusalem, in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity. 1 Ma. 14:36
For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour: 1 Ma. 14:40
And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: 1 Ma. 14:41
And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds; 1 Ma. 14:42
And that he should have care of the holy places; and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name; and that he should be clothed with purple and gold: 1 Ma. 14:43
And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold. 1 Ma. 14:44
And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place: 1 Ma. 14:48
And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon, and his sons, may have it. 1 Ma. 14:49
And I design to go through the country, that I may take revenge of them that have destroyed our country, and that have made many cities desolate in my realm. 1 Ma. 15:4
And let Jerusalem be holy and free, and all the armour that hath been made, and the fortresses which thou hast built, and which thou keepest in thy hands, let them remain to thee. 1 Ma. 15:7
And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee. 1 Ma. 15:8
And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple, with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth. 1 Ma. 15:9
In the year one hundred and seventy-four, Antiochus entered into the land of his fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon. 1 Ma. 15:10
For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him. 1 Ma. 15:12
And Numenius, and they that had been with him, came from the city of Rome, having letters written to the kings, and countries, the contents whereof were these: 1 Ma. 15:15
It hath seemed good therefore to us, to write to the kings and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them. 1 Ma. 15:19
If, therefore, any pestilent men are fled out of their country to you, deliver them to Simon, the high priest, that he may punish them according to their law. 1 Ma. 15:21
But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and he shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out. 1 Ma. 15:25
And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him. 1 Ma. 15:27
And he sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom: 1 Ma. 15:28
Now, therefore, deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea. 1 Ma. 15:30
But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havoc that you have made, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you. 1 Ma. 15:31
And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's, but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies. 1 Ma. 15:33
But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry. 1 Ma. 15:36
And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him. 1 Ma. 15:41
And Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said to them: I and my brethren, and my father's house, have fought against the enemies of Israel from our youth even to this day: and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 1 Ma. 16:2
And he and his people pitched their camp over against them, and he saw that the people were afraid to go over the river, so he went over first: then the men seeing him, passed over after him. 1 Ma. 16:6
At that time, Judas, John's brother, was wounded: but John pursued after them, till he came to Cedron, which he had built: 1 Ma. 16:9
And they fled even to the towers that were in the fields of Azotus, and he burnt them with fire. And there fell of them two thousand men, and he returned into Judea in peace. 1 Ma. 16:10
Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath. 1 Ma. 16:14
And the son of Abobus received them deceitfully into a little fortress, that is called Doch, which he had built: and he made them a great feast, and hid men there. 1 Ma. 16:15
And Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king that he should send him an army to aid him, and he would deliver him the country, and their cities, and tributes. 1 Ma. 16:18
And he sent others to Gazara to kill John: and to the tribunes he sent letters to come to him, and that he would give them silver, and gold, and gifts. 1 Ma. 16:19
Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also. 1 Ma. 16:21
But when he heard it, he was exceedingly afraid: and he apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for he knew that they sought to make him away. 1 Ma. 16:22
And as concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and the worthy deeds, which he bravely achieved, and the building of the walls, which he made, and the things that he did: 1 Ma. 16:23
Behold, these are written in the book of the days of his priesthood, from the time that he was made high priest after his father. 1 Ma. 16:24
‡ ¤ To the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt; the brethren, the Jews that are in Jerusalem, and in the land of Judea, send health and good peace. 2 Ma. 1:1
May God be gracious to you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants: 2 Ma. 1:2
When Demetrius reigned, in the year one hundred and sixty-nine, we Jews wrote to you in the trouble and violence that came upon us in those years, after Jason withdrew himself from the holy land, and from the kingdom. 2 Ma. 1:7
In the year one hundred and eighty-eight, the people that is at Jerusalem, and in Judea, and the senate, and Judas, to Aristobolus, the preceptor of king Ptolemee, who is of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that are in Egypt, health and welfare. 2 Ma. 1:10
For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia, that have fought against us, and the holy city. 2 Ma. 1:12
For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry. 2 Ma. 1:14
When Antiochus was come in: and opening a secret entrance of the temple, they cast stones and slew the leader, and them that were with him, and hewed them in pieces; and cutting off their heads, they threw them forth. 2 Ma. 1:16
Therefore, whereas we purpose to keep the purification of the temple on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, we thought it necessary to signify it to you: that you also may keep the day of Scenopegia, and the day of the fire, that was given when Nehemias offered sacrifice, after the temple and the altar was built. 2 Ma. 1:18
For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God, took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men. 2 Ma. 1:19
But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water. 2 Ma. 1:20
Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest, Nehemias, commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it. 2 Ma. 1:21
And when this was done, and the time came that the sun shone out, which before was in a cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that all wondered. 2 Ma. 1:22
Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God 2 Ma. 1:27
Punish them that oppress us, and that treat us injuriously with pride. 2 Ma. 1:28
And when the sacrifice was consumed, Nehemias commanded the water that was left to be poured out upon the great stones. 2 Ma. 1:31
Which being done, there was kindled a flame from them: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar. 2 Ma. 1:32
And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 1:33
And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened. 2 Ma. 1:34
¤ Now it is found in the descriptions of Jeremias, the prophet, that he commanded them that went into captivity, to take the fire, as it hath been signified, and how he gave charge to them that were carried away into captivity. 2 Ma. 2:1
And how he gave them the law, that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them. 2 Ma. 2:2
And with other such like speeches, he exhorted them that they would not remove the law from their heart. 2 Ma. 2:3
It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God. 2 Ma. 2:4
Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it. 2 Ma. 2:6
And then the Lord will shew these things, and the majesty of the Lord shall appear, and there shall be a cloud as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God. 2 Ma. 2:8
Wherefore, if you want these things, send some that may fetch them to you. 2 Ma. 2:15
And we hope that God, who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary, 2 Ma. 2:17
And the manifestations that came from heaven to them, that behaved themselves manfully on the behalf of the Jews, so that, being but a few they made themselves masters of the whole country, and put to flight the barbarous multitude: 2 Ma. 2:22
And recovered again the most renowned temple in all the world, and delivered the city, and restored the laws that were abolished, the Lord with all clemency shewing mercy to them. 2 Ma. 2:23
For considering the multitude of books, and the difficulty that they find that desire to undertake the narrations of histories, because of the multitude of the matter, 2 Ma. 2:25
We have taken care for those indeed that are willing to read, that it might be a pleasure of mind: and for the studious, that they may more easily commit to memory: and that all that read might receive profit. 2 Ma. 2:26
But as they that prepare a feast, and seek to satisfy the will of others: for the sake of many, we willingly undergo the labour. 2 Ma. 2:28
For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged of us. 2 Ma. 2:30
For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a history: 2 Ma. 2:31
But to pursue brevity of speech, and to avoid nice declarations of things, is to be granted to him that maketh an abridgment. 2 Ma. 2:32
It came to pass that even the kings themselves and the princes esteemed the place worthy of the highest honour, and glorified the temple with very great gifts: 2 Ma. 3:2
So that Seleucus, king of Asia, allowed out of his revenues all the charges belonging to the ministry of the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 3:3
And when he could not overcome Onias, he went to Apollonius, the son of Tharseas, who at that time was governor of Celesyria, and Phenicia: 2 Ma. 3:5
And told him, that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of immense sums of money, and the common store was infinite, which did not belong to the account of the sacrifices: and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hands. 2 Ma. 3:6
Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money. 2 Ma. 3:7
Then the high priest told him that these were sums deposited, and provisions for the subsistence of the widows and the fatherless: 2 Ma. 3:10
And that some part of that which wicked Simon had given intelligence of belonged to Hircanus, son of Tobias, a man of great dignity; and that the whole was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold. 2 Ma. 3:11
But that to deceive them who had trusted to the place and temple which is honoured throughout the whole world, for the reverence and holiness of it, was a thing which could not by any means be done. 2 Ma. 3:12
But he, by reason of the orders he had received from the king, said, that by all means the money must be carried to the king. 2 Ma. 3:13
And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them. 2 Ma. 3:15
For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. 2 Ma. 3:17
And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows. 2 Ma. 3:19
And these indeed called upon almighty God, to preserve the things that had been committed to them safe and sure for those that had committed them. 2 Ma. 3:22
But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury. 2 Ma. 3:23
But the spirit of the Almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence, so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of God, were struck with fainting and dread. 2 Ma. 3:24
For there appeared to them a horse, with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold. 2 Ma. 3:25
So he that came with many servants, and all his guard, into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known. 2 Ma. 3:28
But they praised the Lord, because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. 2 Ma. 3:30
Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the Most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost. 2 Ma. 3:31
So the high priest, considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man. 2 Ma. 3:32
So Heliodorus, after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king. 2 Ma. 3:35
If thou hast any enemy, or traitor to thy king dom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God. 2 Ma. 3:38
For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. 2 Ma. 3:39
But when the enmities proceeded so far, that murders also were committed by some of Simon's friends: 2 Ma. 4:3
Onias, considering the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, who was the governor of Celesyia, and Phenicia, was outrageous, which increased the malice of Simon, went to the king, 2 Ma. 4:4
For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. 2 Ma. 4:6
Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians. 2 Ma. 4:9
And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John, the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse. 2 Ma. 4:11
Now this was not the beginning, but an increase, and progress of heathenish and foreign manners, through the abominable and unheard of wickedness of Jason, that impious wretch, and no priest. 2 Ma. 4:13
Insomuch that the priests were not now occupied about the offices of the altar, but despising the temple and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the games, and of the unlawful allowance thereof, and of the exercise of the discus. 2 Ma. 4:14
Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyre, the king being present, 2 Ma. 4:18
So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys. 2 Ma. 4:20
Now when Apollonius, the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 4:21
When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus, and Mallos, raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochus, the king's concubine. 2 Ma. 4:30
Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities: 2 Ma. 4:32
And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Greeks, went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias. 2 Ma. 4:36
And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment. 2 Ma. 4:38
Thus they that prosecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment. 2 Ma. 4:48
And so through the covetousness of them that were in power, Menelaus continued in authority, increasing in malice to the betraying of the citizens. 2 Ma. 4:50
And it came to pass, that through the whole city of Jerusalem, for the space of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in gilded raiment, and armed with spears, like bands of soldiers. 2 Ma. 5:2
Wherefore all men prayed that these prodigies might turn to good. 2 Ma. 5:4
But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered. 2 Ma. 5:6
And he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there: 2 Ma. 5:9
But he that had cast out many unburied, was himself cast forth both unlamented and unburied, neither having foreign burial, nor being partaker of the sepulchre of his fathers. 2 Ma. 5:10
Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 2 Ma. 5:11
And commanded the soldiers to kill, and not to spare any that came in their way, and to go up into the houses to slay. 2 Ma. 5:12
But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. 2 Ma. 5:15
Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place: 2 Ma. 5:17
So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind. 2 Ma. 5:21
He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there: 2 Ma. 5:22
And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince, Apollonius, with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort. 2 Ma. 5:24
And he slew all that were come forth to flee: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude. 2 Ma. 5:26
But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution. 2 Ma. 5:27
And to defile the temple that was in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius: and that in Garazim of Jupiter Hospitalis, according as they were that inhabited the place. 2 Ma. 6:2
For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful. 2 Ma. 6:4
And there went out a decree into the neighbouring cities of the Gentiles, by the suggestion of the Ptolemeans, that they also should act in like manner against the Jews, to oblige them to sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:8
And others that had met together in caves that were near, and were keeping the sabbath day privately, being discovered by Philip, were burnt with fire, because they made a conscience to help themselves with their hands, by reason of the religious observance of the day. 2 Ma. 6:11
Now I beseech those that shall read this book, that they be not shocked at these calamities, but that they consider the things that happened, not as being for the destruction, but for the correction of our nation. 2 Ma. 6:12
For, not as with other nations, (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:) 2 Ma. 6:14
But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded, of the flesh of the sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:21
That by so doing he might be delivered from death; and for the sake of their old friendship with the man, they did him this courtesy. 2 Ma. 6:22
But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good life and conversation from a child; and he answered without delay, according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that he would rather be sent into the other world. 2 Ma. 6:23
For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens: 2 Ma. 6:24
And they that led him, and had been a little before more mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they thought were uttered out of arrogancy. 2 Ma. 6:29
But when he was now ready to die with the stripes, he groaned: and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer grievous pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear thee. 2 Ma. 6:30
¤ It came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges. 2 Ma. 7:1
He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. 2 Ma. 7:4
So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing. 2 Ma. 7:12
Said: Whereas thou hast power among men though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt but think not that our nation is forsaken by God. 2 Ma. 7:16
But do not think that thou shalt escape unpunished, for that thou hast attempted to fight against God. 2 Ma. 7:19
Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld her seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God: 2 Ma. 7:20
But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. 2 Ma. 7:23
Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary. 2 Ma. 7:24
And when he had exhorted her with many words she promised that she would counsel her son. 2 Ma. 7:26
So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age. 2 Ma. 7:27
I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them, and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also: 2 Ma. 7:28
So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren. 2 Ma. 7:29
But thou that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hand of God. 2 Ma. 7:31
But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God. 2 Ma. 7:37
Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked. 2 Ma. 7:39
¤ But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men. 2 Ma. 8:1
And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked: 2 Ma. 8:2
That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him: 2 Ma. 8:3
That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion. 2 Ma. 8:4
Then Philip seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee, the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs. 2 Ma. 8:8
And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews: 2 Ma. 8:10
Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance which was to follow him from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 8:11
Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand. 2 Ma. 8:12
Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them: 2 Ma. 8:14
And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them. 2 Ma. 8:15
But Machabeus calling together seven thousand that were with him, exhorted them not to be reconciled to the enemies, nor to fear the multitude of the enemies who came wrongfully against them, but to fight manfully: 2 Ma. 8:16
For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world. 2 Ma. 8:18
And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians, in Babylonia; how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians, their companions, were at a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours. 2 Ma. 8:20
And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side. 2 Ma. 8:25
But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them. 2 Ma. 8:27
Moreover, they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless, and the widows; yea, and the aged also 2 Ma. 8:30
And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: 2 Ma. 8:33
But as for that most wicked man, Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews, 2 Ma. 8:34
And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans, by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him. 2 Ma. 8:36
¤ At that time Antiochus returned with dishonour out of Persia. 2 Ma. 9:1
For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city, but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight, returned with disgrace. 2 Ma. 9:2
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 2 Ma. 9:4
But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. 2 Ma. 9:5
Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body. 2 Ma. 9:7
Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself: 2 Ma. 9:8
So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. 2 Ma. 9:9
And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench. 2 Ma. 9:10
And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. 2 Ma. 9:12
Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God. 2 Ma. 9:17
But considering that my father also, at what time he led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him: 2 Ma. 9:23
To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled. 2 Ma. 9:24
Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes, and borderers, wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son, Antiochus, king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below. 2 Ma. 9:25
I pray you, therefore, and request of you, that, remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son. 2 Ma. 9:26
For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you. 2 Ma. 9:27
But Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor. 2 Ma. 9:29
¤ But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again. 2 Ma. 10:1
And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men. 2 Ma. 10:4
Now upon the same day that the temple had been polluted by the strangers on the very same day it was cleansed again; to wit, on the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu. 2 Ma. 10:5
And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts. 2 Ma. 10:6
Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. 2 Ma. 10:7
And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year. 2 Ma. 10:8
And this was the end of Antiochus, that was called the Illustrious. 2 Ma. 10:9
But now we will repeat the acts of Eupator, the son of that wicked Antiochus, abridging the account of the evils that happened in the wars. 2 Ma. 10:10
For Ptolemee, that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them. 2 Ma. 10:12
And the Jews that occupied the most commodious holds, received those that were driven out of Jerusalem, and attempted to make war. 2 Ma. 10:15
Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans: 2 Ma. 10:16
And assaulting them with great force, won the holds, killed them that came in the way, and slew altogether no fewer than twenty thousand. 2 Ma. 10:17
Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them, in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more. 2 Ma. 10:19
Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape. 2 Ma. 10:20
But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape. 2 Ma. 10:21
But Machabeus, and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads, and girding their loins with haircloth, 2 Ma. 10:25
Two of them took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe; but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble. 2 Ma. 10:30
Then Machabeus, and they that were with him cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days. 2 Ma. 10:33
But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words. 2 Ma. 10:34
But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds, because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage, got up upon it: 2 Ma. 10:35
So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress. 2 Ma. 11:5
But when Machabeus, and they that were with him, understood that the strong holds were besieged, they and all the people besought the Lord with lamentations and tears, that he would send a good angel to save Israel. 2 Ma. 11:6
And as he was a man of understanding, considering with himself the loss he had suffered, and perceiving that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because they relied upon the help of the Almighty God, he sent to them: 2 Ma. 11:13
And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend. 2 Ma. 11:14
John, and Abesalom, who were sent from you, delivering your writings, requested that I would accomplish those things which were signified by them. 2 Ma. 11:17
But as concerning other particulars, I have given orders by word both to these, and to them that are sent by me, to commune with you. 2 Ma. 11:20
Our father being translated amongst the gods we are desirous that they that are in our realm should live quietly, and apply themselves diligently to their own concerns. 2 Ma. 11:23
And we have heard that the Jews would not consent to my father to turn to the rites of the Greeks but that they would keep to their own manner of living and therefore that they request us to allow them to live after their own laws. 2 Ma. 11:24
Wherefore being desirous that this nation also should be at rest, we have ordained and decreed, that the temple should be restored to them, and that they may live according to the custom of their ancestors. 2 Ma. 11:25
Thou shalt do well, therefore, to send to them, and grant them peace, that our pleasure being known, they may be of good comfort, and look to their own affairs. 2 Ma. 11:26
Menelaus came to us, saying that you desired to come down to your countrymen, that are with us. 2 Ma. 11:29
We grant, therefore, a safe conduct to all that come and go, until the thirtieth day of the month of Xanthicus, 2 Ma. 11:30
That the Jews may use their own kind of meats, and their own laws, as before: and that none of them any manner of ways be molested for things which have been done by ignorance. 2 Ma. 11:31
But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch. 2 Ma. 11:36
And therefore make haste to write back, that we may know of what mind you are. 2 Ma. 11:37
But they that were behind, namely Timotheus, and Apollonius, the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor, the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet. 2 Ma. 12:2
But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God, the just judge, 2 Ma. 12:5
He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire. 2 Ma. 12:6
But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them, 2 Ma. 12:8
He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set the haven on fire, with the ships, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem, two hundred and forty furlongs off. 2 Ma. 12:9
And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents. 2 Ma. 12:12
But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken. 2 Ma. 12:14
And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining, of two furlongs broad, seemed to run with the blood of the slain. 2 Ma. 12:16
From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa, to the Jews that are called Tubianites. 2 Ma. 12:17
But Dositheus, and Sosipater, who were captains with Machabeus, slew them that were left by Timotheus in the hold, to the number of ten thousand men. 2 Ma. 12:19
But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords. 2 Ma. 12:22
And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren. 2 Ma. 12:25
But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city: and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within. 2 Ma. 12:28
But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity: 2 Ma. 12:30
And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain. 2 Ma. 12:34
But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle: 2 Ma. 12:36
And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers. 2 Ma. 12:39
And they found under the coats of the slain, some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain. 2 Ma. 12:40
Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden. 2 Ma. 12:41
And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain. 2 Ma. 12:42
(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) 2 Ma. 12:44
And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. 2 Ma. 12:45
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. 2 Ma. 12:46
¤ In the year one hundred and forty-nine, Judas understood that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a multitude against Judea, 2 Ma. 13:1
Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. 2 Ma. 13:3
But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place. 2 Ma. 13:4
Now there was in that place a tower fifty cubits high, having a heap of ashes on every side: this had a prospect steep down. 2 Ma. 13:5
And by such a law it happened that Menelaus the transgressor of the law, was put to death: not having so much as burial in the earth. 2 Ma. 13:7
Which when Judas understood, he commanded the people to call upon the Lord day and night, that as he had always done, so now also he would help them: 2 Ma. 13:10
Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations. 2 Ma. 13:11
And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, 2 Ma. 13:15
Now Judas sent necessaries to them that were within 2 Ma. 13:20
Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away. 2 Ma. 13:22
He fought with Judas: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and left gifts. 2 Ma. 13:23
But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant. 2 Ma. 13:25
¤ But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis, to places proper for his purpose, 2 Ma. 14:1
Now one Alcimus, who had been chief priest, but had wilfully defiled himself in the time of mingling with the heathens, seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar, 2 Ma. 14:3
Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs that seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace. 2 Ma. 14:4
He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace. 2 Ma. 14:6
For as long as Judas liveth it is not possible that the state should be quiet. 2 Ma. 14:10
Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple. 2 Ma. 14:13
Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs. 2 Ma. 14:15
And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together. 2 Ma. 14:23
But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor had assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor. 2 Ma. 14:26
Then the king, being in a rage, and provoked with this man's wicked accusation, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch. 2 Ma. 14:27
When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man. 2 Ma. 14:28
But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner; and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor. 2 Ma. 14:30
But he finding himself notably prevented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man. 2 Ma. 14:31
And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple, 2 Ma. 14:32
And when he had spoken thus, he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner: 2 Ma. 14:34
Thou, O Lord of all things, who wantest nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be amongst us. 2 Ma. 14:35
Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his kindness was called the father of the Jews. 2 Ma. 14:37
This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. 2 Ma. 14:38
So Nicanor being willing to declare the hatred that he bore the Jews, sent five hundred soldiers to take him. 2 Ma. 14:39
¤ But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence, on the sabbath day. 2 Ma. 15:1
And when the Jews that were constrained to follow him, said: Do not act so fiercely and barbarously, but give honour to the day that is sanctified: and reverence him that beholdeth all things: 2 Ma. 15:2
That unhappy man asked, if there were a mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept. 2 Ma. 15:3
And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept. 2 Ma. 15:4
But Machabeus ever trusted with all hope that God would help them. 2 Ma. 15:7
Then Onias answering, said: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias, the prophet of God. 2 Ma. 15:14
Thus being exhorted with the words of Judas, which were very good, and proper to stir up the courage, and strengthen the hearts of the young men, they resolved to fight, and to set upon them manfully: that valour might decide the matter, because the holy city, and the temple were in danger. 2 Ma. 15:17
And they also that were in the city, had no little concern for them that were to be engaged in battle. 2 Ma. 15:19
Machabeus considering the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretching out his hands to heaven, called upon the Lord, that worketh wonders, who giveth victory to them that are worthy, not according to the power of their arms, but according as it seemeth good to him. 2 Ma. 15:21
That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people. And thus he concluded his prayer. 2 Ma. 15:24
But Nicanor, and they that were with him came forward, with trumpets and songs. 2 Ma. 15:25
But Judas, and they that were with him, encountered them, calling upon God by prayers: 2 Ma. 15:26
And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour. 2 Ma. 15:28
And Judas, who was altogether ready, in body and mind, to die for his countrymen, commanded that Nicanor's head, and his hand, with the shoulder, should be cut off, and carried to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 15:30
And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle, 2 Ma. 15:31
He commanded also, that the tongue of the wicked Nicanor should be cut out, and given by pieces to birds, and the hand of the furious man to be hanged up over against the temple. 2 Ma. 15:33
Then all blessed the Lord of heaven, saying: Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 2 Ma. 15:34
And he hung up Nicanor's head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God. 2 Ma. 15:35
So these things being done with relation to Nicanor, and from that time the city being possessed by the Hebrews, I also will here make an end of my narration. 2 Ma. 15:38
And Jesse begot David the king. And David the king begot Solomon, of her that had been the wife of Urias. Mt. 1:6
But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:20
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Mt. 1:22
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Mt. 2:2
And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel. Mt. 2:6
And sending them into Bethlehem, said: Go and diligently inquire after the child, and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I also may come and adore him. Mt. 2:8
And having received an answer in sleep that they should not return to Herod, they went back another way into their country. Mt. 2:12
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Mt. 2:13
And he was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son. Mt. 2:15
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Mt. 2:16
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: Mt. 2:17
Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child. Mt. 2:20
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee. Mt. 2:22
And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene. Mt. 2:23
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3

For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. Mt. 3:10
I indeed baptize you in water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. Mt. 3:11
And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. Mt. 4:3
Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Mt. 4:4
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4:6
And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee: Mt. 4:12
That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet: Mt. 4:14
The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up. Mt. 4:16
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt. 4:17
And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them: Mt. 4:24
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Mt. 5:4
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Mt. 5:6
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:10
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Mt. 5:11
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. Mt. 5:12
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house. Mt. 5:15
So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Mt. 5:16
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Mt. 5:17
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:19
For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:20
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not kill. And whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgment. Mt. 5:21
But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mt. 5:22
If therefore thou offer thy gift at the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother hath anything against thee; Mt. 5:23
You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. Mt. 5:27
But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mt. 5:28
And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:29
And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:30
But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32
Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord. Mt. 5:33
But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil. Mt. 5:37
You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Mt. 5:38
Give to him that asketh of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away. Mt. 5:42
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemy. Mt. 5:43
But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: Mt. 5:44
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. Mt. 5:45
For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this? Mt. 5:46
¤ Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is in heaven. Mt. 6:1
Therefore when thou dost an alms-deed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:2
That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee. Mt. 6:4
And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:5
And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. Mt. 6:7
And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:16
That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee. Mt. 6:18
But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be! Mt. 6:23
But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Mt. 6:29
For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Mt. 6:32
¤ Judge not, that you may not be judged. Mt. 7:1
And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Mt. 7:3
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. Mt. 7:6
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Mt. 7:8
If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? Mt. 7:11
All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. Mt. 7:12
Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. Mt. 7:13
How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! Mt. 7:14
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Mt. 7:19
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 7:21
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? Mt. 7:22
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. Mt. 7:23
Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, Mt. 7:24
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. Mt. 7:25
And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, Mt. 7:26
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. Mt. 7:27
And the centurion, making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. Mt. 8:8

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: Mt. 8:11
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed: Mt. 8:16
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. Mt. 8:17
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. Mt. 8:24
And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way. Mt. 8:28
And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils. Mt. 8:33
And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts. Mt. 8:34
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. Mt. 9:6

But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. Mt. 9:12

But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country. Mt. 9:31

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. Mt. 10:14
Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Mt. 10:15
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: Mt. 10:19
For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. Mt. 10:20
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. Mt. 10:22
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? Mt. 10:25
Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. Mt. 10:26
That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops. Mt. 10:27
And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Mt. 10:28
Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 10:32
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 10:33
Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. Mt. 10:34
He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. Mt. 10:37
And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. Mt. 10:38
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. Mt. 10:39
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. Mt. 10:40
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. Mt. 10:41
Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? Mt. 11:3
And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me. Mt. 11:6
But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings. Mt. 11:8
Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Mt. 11:11
And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come. Mt. 11:14
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 11:15
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children. Mt. 11:19
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. Mt. 11:20
Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes. Mt. 11:21
And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. Mt. 11:23
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee. Mt. 11:24
At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Mt. 11:25
Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Mt. 11:28
¤ At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat. Mt. 12:1
And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days. Mt. 12:2
But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him: Mt. 12:3
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only? Mt. 12:4
Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame? Mt. 12:5
But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple. Mt. 12:6
And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. Mt. 12:10
But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up? Mt. 12:11
And he charged them that they should not make him known. Mt. 12:16
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying: Mt. 12:17
Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw. Mt. 12:22
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. Mt. 12:30
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, nor in the world to come. Mt. 12:32
But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. Mt. 12:36
Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation. Mt. 12:45
But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? Mt. 12:48
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mt. 12:50
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore. Mt. 13:2
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 13:9
For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. Mt. 13:12
For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them: and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. Mt. 13:17
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. Mt. 13:19
And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. Mt. 13:20
And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. Mt. 13:22
But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty. Mt. 13:23
Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. Mt. 13:24
And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? Mt. 13:28
Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. Mt. 13:32
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Mt. 13:35
Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. Mt. 13:37
And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. Mt. 13:39
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. Mt. 13:41
Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 13:43
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Mt. 13:44
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Mt. 13:46
He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. Mt. 13:52
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? Mt. 13:54
¤ At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus. Mt. 14:1
And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. Mt. 14:9
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals. Mt. 14:15
And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children. Mt. 14:21
And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God. Mt. 14:33
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased. Mt. 14:35
And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole. Mt. 14:36
For God said: Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. Mt. 15:4
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Mt. 15:11
Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? Mt. 15:12
Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy? Mt. 15:17
These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man. Mt. 15:20
And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel. Mt. 15:24
But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. Mt. 15:27
Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. Mt. 15:28
So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel. Mt. 15:31
And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women. Mt. 15:38
And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? Mt. 16:8
Why do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Mt. 16:11
Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mt. 16:12
And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? Mt. 16:13
Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Mt. 16:15
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mt. 16:18
Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. Mt. 16:20
From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. Mt. 16:21
Who turning, said to Peter: Go behind me, Satan, thou art a scandal unto me: because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. Mt. 16:23
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. Mt. 16:25
Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt. 16:28
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first? Mt. 17:10
But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, But have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them. Mt. 17:12
Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist. Mt. 17:13
And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour. Mt. 17:18
And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter, and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachma? Mt. 17:24
But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee. Mt. 17:27
¤ At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven? Mt. 18:1
And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. Mt. 18:5
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
Woe to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless woe to that man by whom the scandal cometh. Mt. 18:7
See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:10
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Mt. 18:11
What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? Mt. 18:12
And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. Mt. 18:13
Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Mt. 18:14
And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. Mt. 18:16
Again I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 18:19
And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents. Mt. 18:24
And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. Mt. 18:25
But that servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Mt. 18:26
And the lord of that servant being moved with pity, let him go and forgave him the debt. Mt. 18:27
But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest. Mt. 18:28
Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done. Mt. 18:31
Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? Mt. 19:4
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 19:9
For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. Mt. 19:12
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. Mt. 19:13
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting? Mt. 19:16
Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 19:23
And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mt. 19:28
And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting. Mt. 19:29
And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first. Mt. 19:30
When therefore they were come that came about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. Mt. 20:9
But when the first also came, they thought that they should receive more: And they also received every man a penny. Mt. 20:10
Saying: These last have worked but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. Mt. 20:12
Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. Mt. 20:21
And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can. Mt. 20:22
But Jesus called them to him and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and that they that are the greater, exercise power upon them. Mt. 20:25
And he that will be first among you shall be your servant. Mt. 20:27
And behold two blind men sitting by the way side heard that Jesus passed by. And they cried out, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. Mt. 20:30
And the multitude rebuked them that they should hold their peace. But they cried out the more, saying: O Lord, thou son of David, have mercy on us. Mt. 20:31
And Jesus stood and called them and said: What will ye that I do to you? Mt. 20:32
They say to him: Lord, that our eyes be opened. Mt. 20:33
Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you: and immediately you shall find an ass tied and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me. Mt. 21:2
And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go. Mt. 21:3
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: Mt. 21:4
Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek and sitting upon an ass and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke. Mt. 21:5
And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Mt. 21:9
And Jesus went into the temple of God and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the chairs of them that sold doves. Mt. 21:12
And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying: Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation, Mt. 21:15
Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you. Mt. 21:31
For John came to you in the way of justice: and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him. Mt. 21:32
And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof. Mt. 21:34
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen that shall render him the fruit in due season. Mt. 21:41
Therefore I say to you that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. Mt. 21:43
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them. Mt. 21:45
And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. Mt. 22:3
Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage. Mt. 22:4
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. Mt. 22:8
And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests. Mt. 22:10
And they sent to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and teachest the way of God in truth. Neither carest thou for any man: for thou dost not regard the person of men. Mt. 22:16
They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's. Mt. 22:21
That day there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and asked him, Mt. 22:23
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken by God, saying to you: Mt. 22:31
But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together. Mt. 22:34
And no man was able to answer him a word: neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. Mt. 22:46
He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. Mt. 23:11
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Mt. 23:12
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for you yourselves do not enter in and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter. Mt. 23:13
Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor. Mt. 23:16
Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? Mt. 23:17
And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor. Mt. 23:18
Ye foolish and blind: for whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? Mt. 23:19
He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it. Mt. 23:20
And whosoever shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth in it. Mt. 23:21
And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon. Mt. 23:22
Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean. Mt. 23:26
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just, Mt. 23:29
Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets. Mt. 23:31
That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. Mt. 23:35
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldst not? Mt. 23:37
For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Mt. 23:39
And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed. Mt. 24:2
And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you. Mt. 24:4
And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass: but the end is not yet. Mt. 24:6
But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. Mt. 24:13
When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. Mt. 24:15
Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: Mt. 24:16
And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mt. 24:17
And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. Mt. 24:18
And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. Mt. 24:19
But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath. Mt. 24:20
And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh. Mt. 24:32
So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors. Mt. 24:33
Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done. Mt. 24:34
But of that day and hour no one knoweth: no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone. Mt. 24:36
For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark: Mt. 24:38
But know this ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Mt. 24:43
Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. Mt. 24:46
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming: Mt. 24:48
The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not and at an hour that he knoweth not: Mt. 24:50
The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves. Mt. 25:9
Now whilst they went to buy the bridegroom came: and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage. And the door was shut. Mt. 25:10
And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five. Mt. 25:16
And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two. Mt. 25:17
But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money. Mt. 25:18
And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above. Mt. 25:20
And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two. Mt. 25:22
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed. Mt. 25:24
And being afraid, I went and hid thy talent in the earth. Behold here thou hast that which is thine. Mt. 25:25
And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed. Mt. 25:26
Take ye away therefore the talent from him and give it to him that hath ten talents. Mt. 25:28
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. Mt. 25:29
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Mt. 25:34
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. Mt. 25:41
You know that after two days shall be the pasch: and the Son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified. Mt. 26:2
And they consulted together that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death. Mt. 26:4
Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memory of her. Mt. 26:13
And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch? Mt. 26:17
And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you that one of you is about to betray me. Mt. 26:21
But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. Mt. 26:23
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. Mt. 26:24
And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it. Mt. 26:25
And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father. Mt. 26:29
Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. Mt. 26:34
Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mt. 26:41
Rise: let us go. Behold he is at hand that will betray me. Mt. 26:46
And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast. Mt. 26:48
And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. Mt. 26:51
Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Mt. 26:52
Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels? Mt. 26:53
How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done? Mt. 26:54
In that same hour, Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out, as it were to a robber, with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple: and you laid not hands on me. Mt. 26:55
Now all this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples, all leaving him, fled. Mt. 26:56
And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest, And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end. Mt. 26:58
And the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death. Mt. 26:59
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God. Mt. 26:63
Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee? Mt. 26:68
And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. Mt. 26:71
And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee. Mt. 26:73
Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. Mt. 26:74
¤ And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death. Mt. 27:1
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, Mt. 27:3
Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. Mt. 27:4
For this cause that field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this day. Mt. 27:8
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel. Mt. 27:9
And he answered him to never a word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly. Mt. 27:14
And he had then a notorious prisoner that was called Barabbas. Mt. 27:16
They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? Mt. 27:17
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. Mt. 27:18
And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. Mt. 27:19
But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away. Mt. 27:20
Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. Mt. 27:22
And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it. Mt. 27:24
And they came to the place that is called Golgotha, which is the place of Calvary. Mt. 27:33
And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. Mt. 27:35
And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, Mt. 27:39
And saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days dost rebuild it: save thy own self. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Mt. 27:40
And the selfsame thing the thieves also that were crucified with him reproached him with. Mt. 27:44
And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani? That is, My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mt. 27:46
And some that stood there and heard said: This man calleth Elias. Mt. 27:47
And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, Mt. 27:52
Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God. Mt. 27:54
He went to Pilate and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. Mt. 27:58
Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. Mt. 27:63
And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you: for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. Mt. 28:5
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. Mt. 28:7
Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. There they shall see me. Mt. 28:10
Who when they were departed, behold, some of the guards came into the city and told the chief priests all things that had been done. Mt. 28:11
And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, Mk. 1:14
And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him. Mk. 1:27
And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. Mk. 1:32
And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. Mk. 1:34
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. Mk. 1:36
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. Mk. 1:38
And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. Mk. 1:44
But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides. Mk. 1:45
¤ And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days. And it was heard that he was in the house. Mk. 2:1
And many came together, so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to them the word. Mk. 2:2
Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts? Mk. 2:8
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy): Mk. 2:10
And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like. Mk. 2:12
And it came to pass that as he sat at meat in his house, many Publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him. Mk. 2:15
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners? Mk. 2:16
Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners. Mk. 2:17
And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward and to pluck the ears of corn. Mk. 2:23
And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? Mk. 2:24
And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, himself and they that were with him? Mk. 2:25
And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him. Mk. 3:2
And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. Mk. 3:9
For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils. Mk. 3:10
And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. Mk. 3:12
And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach. Mk. 3:14
And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. Mk. 3:20
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. Mk. 3:24
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Mk. 3:25
Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme: Mk. 3:28
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. Mk. 3:29
¤ And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship and sat in the sea: and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side. Mk. 4:1
And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred. Mk. 4:8
And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mk. 4:9
And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable. Mk. 4:10
And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables: Mk. 4:11
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Mk. 4:12
He that soweth, soweth the word. Mk. 4:14
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. Mk. 4:15
And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. Mk. 4:16
And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word, Mk. 4:18
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad. Mk. 4:22
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him. Mk. 4:25
It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: Mk. 4:31
And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof. Mk. 4:32
And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side. Mk. 4:35
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled. Mk. 4:37
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee that we perish? Mk. 4:38
And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him? Mk. 4:41
And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not. Mk. 5:7
And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country. Mk. 5:10
And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. Mk. 5:12
And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see what was done: Mk. 5:14
And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid. Mk. 5:15
And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine. Mk. 5:16
And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts. Mk. 5:17
And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him. Mk. 5:18
And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live. Mk. 5:23
And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse, Mk. 5:26
And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil. Mk. 5:29
And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my garments? Mk. 5:30
But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe. Mk. 5:36
And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. Mk. 5:40
And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat. Mk. 5:43
And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? Mk. 6:2
And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. Mk. 6:5
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only; no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, Mk. 6:8
But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coats. Mk. 6:9
And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. Mk. 6:10
And going forth they preached that men should do penance: Mk. 6:12
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. Mk. 6:13
And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. Mk. 6:22
And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist. Mk. 6:25
And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: Mk. 6:26
But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27
And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught. Mk. 6:30
Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat. Mk. 6:36
And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. Mk. 6:39
And they that did eat, were five thousand men. Mk. 6:44
And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people. Mk. 6:45
And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. Mk. 6:55
And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. Mk. 6:56
And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. Mk. 7:2
And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots and of brazen vessels and of beds. Mk. 7:4
And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. Mk. 7:9
For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. Mk. 7:10
There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man. Mk. 7:15
And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man cannot defile him: Mk. 7:18
But he said that: The things which come out from a man, they defile a man. Mk. 7:20
And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid. Mk. 7:24
For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. Mk. 7:26
And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out. Mk. 7:30
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him. Mk. 7:32
And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it. Mk. 7:36
And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets. Mk. 8:8
And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them away. Mk. 8:9
And they came to Bethsaida: and they bring to him a blind man. And they besought him that he would touch him. Mk. 8:22
After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes: and he began to see and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly. Mk. 8:25
And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am? Mk. 8:27
Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ. Mk. 8:29
And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him. Mk. 8:30
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again. Mk. 8:31
Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savourest not the things that are of God but that are of men. Mk. 8:33
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mk. 8:38
¤ And he said to them: Amen I say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power. Mk. 9:1
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead. Mk. 9:10
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first? Mk. 9:11
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he must suffer many things and be despised. Mk. 9:12
But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him. Mk. 9:13
And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mk. 9:23
And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went out of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead. Mk. 9:26
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it. Mk. 9:30
And he taught his disciples and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day. Mk. 9:31
Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him that sent me. Mk. 9:37
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me. Mk. 9:39
For he that is not against you is for you. Mk. 9:40
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. Mk. 9:42
To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart, he wrote you that precept. Mk. 10:5
And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. Mk. 10:13
And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? Mk. 10:17
And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God. Mk. 10:18
Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Mk. 10:22
And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Mk. 10:23
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? Mk. 10:24
But many that are first shall be last: and the last, first. Mk. 10:31
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him. Mk. 10:32
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us. Mk. 10:35
But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? Mk. 10:36
And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Mk. 10:37
And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized? Mk. 10:38
But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized. Mk. 10:39
But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. Mk. 10:42
Who when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out and to say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:47
And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:48
And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni. That I may see. Mk. 10:51
And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him. Mk. 11:2
And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither. Mk. 11:3
And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt? Mk. 11:5
And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Mk. 11:9
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest. Mk. 11:10
And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves. Mk. 11:15
And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. Mk. 11:16
Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. Mk. 11:23
Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you. Mk. 11:24
And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins. Mk. 11:25
But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins. Mk. 11:26
And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? Mk. 11:28
If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. Mk. 11:32
And they sought to lay hands on him: but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way. Mk. 12:12
And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: that they should catch him in his words. Mk. 12:13
Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar? Mk. 12:14
Or shall we not give it? Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? Bring me a penny that I may see it. Mk. 12:15
And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. Mk. 12:17
Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man's brother die and leave his wife behind him and leave no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up seed to his brother. Mk. 12:19
And as concerning the dead that they rise again have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? Mk. 12:26
And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. Mk. 12:28
And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth that there is one God and there is no other besides him. Mk. 12:32
And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. Mk. 12:33
And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. Mk. 12:34
And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say that Christ is the son of David? Mk. 12:35
And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in much. Mk. 12:41
And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be thrown down. Mk. 13:2
And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Mk. 13:11
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved. Mk. 13:13
And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. Mk. 13:14
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house. Mk. 13:15
And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up his garment. Mk. 13:16
And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days. Mk. 13:17
But pray ye that these things happen not in winter. Mk. 13:18
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light. Mk. 13:24
And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that are in heaven shall be moved. Mk. 13:25
Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is very near. Mk. 13:28
So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye that it is very nigh, even at the doors. Mk. 13:29
Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all these things be done. Mk. 13:30
But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. Mk. 13:32
Now there were some that had indignation within themselves and said: Why was this waste of the ointment made? Mk. 14:4
Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memorial of her. Mk. 14:9
Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go and prepare for thee to eat the pasch? Mk. 14:12
And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me. Mk. 14:18
And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born. Mk. 14:21
Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. Mk. 14:25
And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground: and he prayed that, if it might be, the hour might pass from him. Mk. 14:35
Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mk. 14:38
Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand. Mk. 14:42
And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away carefully. Mk. 14:44
And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest and cut off his ear. Mk. 14:47
I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled. Mk. 14:49
And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none. Mk. 14:55
And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men? Mk. 14:60
But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean. Mk. 14:70
And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep, Mk. 14:72
But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered. Mk. 15:5
And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them. Mk. 15:8
And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews? Mk. 15:9
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. Mk. 15:10
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. Mk. 15:11
And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews? Mk. 15:12
And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days buildest it up again: Mk. 15:29
Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled him. Mk. 15:32
And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God. Mk. 15:39
Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. Mk. 15:41
And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the sabbath), Mk. 15:42
But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. Mk. 15:44
¤ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. Mk. 16:1
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you. Mk. 16:7
She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning and weeping. Mk. 16:10
And they hearing that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe. Mk. 16:11
And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country. Mk. 16:12
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. Mk. 16:16
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. Mk. 16:17
But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed. Mk. 16:20
‡ ¤ Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us, Lk. 1:1
That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed. Lk. 1:4

Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name. Lk. 1:49
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. Lk. 1:50
And her neighbors and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her: and they congratulated with her. Lk. 1:58
And it came to pass that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and they called him by his father's name Zachary. Lk. 1:59
And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. Lk. 1:61
And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. Lk. 1:66
Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us. Lk. 1:71
That he would grant to us. That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear: Lk. 1:74
To enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace. Lk. 1:79

And all that heard wondered: and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. Lk. 2:18
And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Lk. 2:21
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. Lk. 2:26

And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them. Lk. 2:50
He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Lk. 3:7
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance: and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you that God is able of these stones, to raise up children to Abraham. Lk. 3:8

But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you. Lk. 3:13
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ: Lk. 3:15

How he went into the house of God and took and ate the bread of proposition and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests? Lk. 6:4
And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. And there was a man whose right hand was withered. Lk. 6:6
And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against him. Lk. 6:7

And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? Lk. 6:41
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit: nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit. Lk. 6:43

Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel. Lk. 7:9
And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim: and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude. Lk. 7:11
And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. Lk. 7:14

¤ And it came to pass afterwards that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God: and the twelve with him: Lk. 8:1
And other some fell upon good ground and, being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Lk. 8:8
To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand. Lk. 8:10
And they by the way side are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. Lk. 8:12
And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard and, going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and yield no fruit. Lk. 8:14
But that on the good ground are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it and bring forth fruit in patience. Lk. 8:15

And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling and fell down before his feet and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. Lk. 8:47
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. Lk. 8:53
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them. Lk. 9:5

But by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. Lk. 9:8
Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place. Lk. 9:12
And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets. Lk. 9:17
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am? Lk. 9:18
But they answered and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias: and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again. Lk. 9:19
And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God. Lk. 9:20

Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem. Lk. 9:31
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory and the two men that stood with him. Lk. 9:32
And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses; and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. Lk. 9:33

But yet rejoice not in this, that spirits are subject unto you: but rejoice in this, that your names are written in heaven. Lk. 10:20
In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight. Lk. 10:21
And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. Lk. 10:23

But yet that which remaineth, give alms: and behold, all things are clean unto you. Lk. 11:41
Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not: and men that walk over are not aware. Lk. 11:44

That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, Lk. 11:50
Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered in: and those that were entering in, you have hindered. Lk. 11:52

¤ And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Lk. 12:1

But if that servant shall say in his heart: My Lord is long a coming; and shall begin to strike the men-servants and maid-servants, and to eat and to drink and be drunk: Lk. 12:45

And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him: for he was to pass that way. Lk. 19:4

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Lk. 19:10

And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have exacted it with usury? Lk. 19:23
And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him and give it to him that hath ten pounds. Lk. 19:24
But I say to you that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. Lk. 19:26
And they that were sent went their way and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them. Lk. 19:32

Saying: If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. Lk. 19:42
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought. Lk. 19:45
¤ And it came to pass that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together, Lk. 20:1
And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? Or, who is he that hath given thee this authority? Lk. 20:2
But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet. Lk. 20:6
And they answered that they knew not whence it was. Lk. 20:7
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty. Lk. 20:10
Whom, when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. Lk. 20:14
But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Lk. 20:17

Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother. Lk. 20:28
But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world and of the resurrection from the dead shall neither be married nor take wives. Lk. 20:35
Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Lk. 20:37
And after that they durst not ask him any more questions. Lk. 20:40
But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David? Lk. 20:41
And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. Lk. 21:3
For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had. Lk. 21:4
And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said: Lk. 21:5
These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down. Lk. 21:6
And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. Lk. 21:20
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written. Lk. 21:22
But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. Lk. 21:23
When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh; Lk. 21:30
So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand. Lk. 21:31
And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly. Lk. 21:34
For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. Lk. 21:35
Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man. Lk. 21:36
And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet. Lk. 21:37
And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed. Lk. 22:7
And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat. Lk. 22:8
But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare? Lk. 22:9
For I say to you that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. Lk. 22:16
For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come. Lk. 22:18
But yet behold: the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. Lk. 22:21
And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed. Lk. 22:22
And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. Lk. 22:23
And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them are called beneficent. Lk. 22:25
But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger: and he that is the leader, as he that serveth. Lk. 22:26
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth. Lk. 22:27
That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Lk. 22:30
And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. Lk. 22:31
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. Lk. 22:32
And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. Lk. 22:34
Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. Lk. 22:36
For I say to you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me. And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. Lk. 22:37
As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him. Lk. 22:47
And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? Lk. 22:49
And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs? Lk. 22:52
And the men that held him mocked him and struck him. Lk. 22:63
And they blindfolded him and smote his face. And they asked him saying: Prophesy: Who is it that struck thee? Lk. 22:64
Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am. Lk. 22:70
And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar and saying that he is Christ the king. Lk. 23:2
And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem in those days. Lk. 23:7
And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day: for before they were enemies one to another. Lk. 23:12
Said to them: You have presented unto me this man as one that perverteth the people. And behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him. Lk. 23:14
But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. Lk. 23:23
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. Lk. 23:24
For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck. Lk. 23:29
And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight and saw the things that were done returned, striking their breasts. Lk. 23:48
And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee stood afar off, beholding these things. Lk. 23:49
And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid. Lk. 23:53
And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre and how his body was laid. Lk. 23:55
And it was Mary Magdalen and Joanna and Mary of James and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles. Lk. 24:10
But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. Lk. 24:12
And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also, drawing near, went with them. Lk. 24:15
But their eyes were held, that they should not know him. Lk. 24:16
And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad? Lk. 24:17
And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days? Lk. 24:18
But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. Lk. 24:21
And not finding his body, came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. Lk. 24:23
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him. Lk. 24:27
And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were with them, Lk. 24:33
But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit. Lk. 24:37
See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. Lk. 24:39
And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me. Lk. 24:44
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. Lk. 24:45
And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lk. 24:47
All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. Jn. 1:3
This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. Jn. 1:7
That was the true light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. Jn. 1:9
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Jn. 1:12
John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: because he was before me. Jn. 1:15
They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself? Jn. 1:22
And they that were sent were of the Pharisees. Jn. 1:24
The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. Jn. 1:27
And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. Jn. 1:31
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Jn. 1:33
And I saw: and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God. Jn. 1:34
He saith to them: Come and see. They came and saw where he abode: and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. Jn. 1:39
Nathanael saith to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. Jn. 1:48
And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? My hour is not yet come. Jn. 2:4
And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now. Jn. 2:10
And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. Jn. 2:14
And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. Jn. 2:16
And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. Jn. 2:17
When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said. Jn. 2:22
But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men, Jn. 2:24
And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. Jn. 2:25
This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him. Jn. 3:2
That which is born of the flesh is flesh: and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jn. 3:6
Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. Jn. 3:7
The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8
Amen, amen, I say to thee that we speak what we know and we testify what we have seen: and you receive not our testimony. Jn. 3:11
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. Jn. 3:13
That whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:15
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:16
For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. Jn. 3:17
He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jn. 3:18
For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. Jn. 3:20
But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. Jn. 3:21
And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him. Jn. 3:26
You yourselves do bear me witness that I said I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him. Jn. 3:28
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. Jn. 3:29
He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all. Jn. 3:31
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony. Jn. 3:32
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Jn. 3:33
He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him. Jn. 3:36
¤ When Jesus therefore understood the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples and baptizeth more than John Jn. 4:1
Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew; ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans. Jn. 4:9
Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Jn. 4:10
But he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. Jn. 4:14
The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. Jn. 4:15
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Jn. 4:19
Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore. Jn. 4:20
Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father. Jn. 4:21
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews. Jn. 4:22
God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth. Jn. 4:24
The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jn. 4:25
And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her? Jn. 4:27
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. Jn. 4:34
And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. Jn. 4:36
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. Jn. 4:37
I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others have laboured: and you have entered into their labours. Jn. 4:38
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. Jn. 4:39
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days. Jn. 4:40
And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. Jn. 4:42
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Jn. 4:44
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Jn. 4:47
The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die. Jn. 4:49
And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. Jn. 4:51
The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house. Jn. 4:53
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea, into Galilee. Jn. 4:54
And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. Jn. 5:4
And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. Jn. 5:5
Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? Jn. 5:6
And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. Jn. 5:9
The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath. It is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. Jn. 5:10
He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up thy bed and walk. Jn. 5:11
They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee: Take up thy bed and walk? Jn. 5:12
The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. Jn. 5:15
For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. Jn. 5:20
That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. Jn. 5:23
Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath life everlasting: and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. Jn. 5:24
Amen, amen, I say unto you, that the hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Jn. 5:25
Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. Jn. 5:28
And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. Jn. 5:29
I cannot of myself do any thing. As I hear, so I judge. And my judgment is just: because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jn. 5:30
There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Jn. 5:32
But I receive not testimony from man: but I say these things, that you may be saved. Jn. 5:34
But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect, the works themselves which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. Jn. 5:36
Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. Jn. 5:39
And you will not come to me that you may have life. Jn. 5:40
But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. Jn. 5:42
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. Jn. 5:45
¤ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. Jn. 6:1
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. Jn. 6:2
When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Jn. 6:5
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little. Jn. 6:7
There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many? Jn. 6:9
And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. Jn. 6:11
And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. Jn. 6:12
They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten. Jn. 6:13
Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. Jn. 6:14
Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. Jn. 6:15
And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. Jn. 6:18
The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other ship there but one: and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone. Jn. 6:22
When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. Jn. 6:24
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. Jn. 6:27
They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? Jn. 6:28
Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. Jn. 6:29
They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew that we may see and may believe thee? What dost thou work? Jn. 6:30
For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world. Jn. 6:33
And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. Jn. 6:35
But I said unto you that you also have seen me, and you believe not. Jn. 6:36
All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. Jn. 6:37
Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me. Jn. 6:38
Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. Jn. 6:39
And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son and believeth in him may have life everlasting. And I will raise him up in the last day. Jn. 6:40
It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to me. Jn. 6:45
Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. Jn. 6:46
Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. Jn. 6:47
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. Jn. 6:50
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Jn. 6:51
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. Jn. 6:54
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him. Jn. 6:56
As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. Jn. 6:57
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. Jn. 6:58
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? Jn. 6:61
It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. Jn. 6:63
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. Jn. 6:64
And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. Jn. 6:65
And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God. Jn. 6:69
And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. Jn. 7:3
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. Jn. 7:4
The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil, Jn. 7:7
Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. Jn. 7:16
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. Jn. 7:18
If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day? Jn. 7:23
And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? Jn. 7:26
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not. Jn. 7:28
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me. Jn. 7:33
The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles? Jn. 7:35
What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come? Jn. 7:36
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jn. 7:38
Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. Jn. 7:40
Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was? Jn. 7:42
But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed. Jn. 7:49
Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them): Jn. 7:50
They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. Jn. 7:52
And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. Jn. 8:6
When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Jn. 8:7
Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? Jn. 8:10
Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jn. 8:12
And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. Jn. 8:16
And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. Jn. 8:17
I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me. Jn. 8:18
Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. Jn. 8:24
Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. Jn. 8:26
And they understood not that he called God his Father. Jn. 8:27
Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak. Jn. 8:28
And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him. Jn. 8:29
Jesus answered them: Amen, amen, I say unto you that whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. Jn. 8:34
I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. Jn. 8:37
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. Jn. 8:38
He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. Jn. 8:47
The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil? Jn. 8:48
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Jn. 8:50
The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. Jn. 8:52
Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. Jn. 8:54
And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word. Jn. 8:55
Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it and was glad. Jn. 8:56
And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jn. 9:2
Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Jn. 9:3
I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Jn. 9:4
The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Jn. 9:8
He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe and wash. And I went: I washed: and I see. Jn. 9:11
They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. Jn. 9:13
Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. Jn. 9:16
They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet. Jn. 9:17
The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, Jn. 9:18
His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind: Jn. 9:20
These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Jn. 9:22
They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. Jn. 9:24
He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see. Jn. 9:25
We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is. Jn. 9:29
The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes. Jn. 9:30
Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth. Jn. 9:31
From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. Jn. 9:32
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? Jn. 9:35
He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jn. 9:36
And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee. Jn. 9:37
And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. Jn. 9:39
¤ Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. Jn. 10:1
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. Jn. 10:2
The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. Jn. 10:10
But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep, Jn. 10:12
And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd. Jn. 10:16
Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. Jn. 10:17
Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? Jn. 10:21
Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me. Jn. 10:25
That which my Father hath given me is greater than all: and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father. Jn. 10:29
The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou, being a, man, makest thyself God. Jn. 10:33
But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in the Father. Jn. 10:38
And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first. And there he abode. Jn. 10:40
(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Jn. 11:2
And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it. Jn. 11:4
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. Jn. 11:6
Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. Jn. 11:7
These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. Jn. 11:11
But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. Jn. 11:13
And I am glad, for your sakes; that I was not there, that you may believe. But, let us go to him. Jn. 11:15
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. Jn. 11:16
Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days already in the grave. Jn. 11:17
Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home. Jn. 11:20
But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jn. 11:22
Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. Jn. 11:24
Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: Jn. 11:25
And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? Jn. 11:26
She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world. Jn. 11:27
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. Jn. 11:30
The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there. Jn. 11:31
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, Jn. 11:33
But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind have caused that this man should not die? Jn. 11:37
Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days. Jn. 11:39
Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? Jn. 11:40
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. Jn. 11:41
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 11:42
And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. Jn. 11:44
Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him. Jn. 11:45
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things that Jesus had done. Jn. 11:46
But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing. Jn. 11:49
Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not. Jn. 11:50
And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. Jn. 11:51
And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God that were dispersed. Jn. 11:52
From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. Jn. 11:53
Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And there he abode with his disciples. Jn. 11:54
They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? Jn. 11:56
And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him. Jn. 11:57
And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. Jn. 12:2
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: Jn. 12:4
Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. Jn. 12:6
Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial. Jn. 12:7
A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. Jn. 12:9
And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Jn. 12:12
Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel. Jn. 12:13
These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him. Jn. 12:16
For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. Jn. 12:18
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? Behold, the whole world is gone after him. Jn. 12:19
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified. Jn. 12:23
He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. Jn. 12:25
The multitude therefore that stood and heard said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. Jn. 12:29
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? Jn. 12:34
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Jn. 12:35
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them. Jn. 12:36
That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Jn. 12:38
He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be converted: and I should heal them. Jn. 12:40
However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue. Jn. 12:42
But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me. Jn. 12:44
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. Jn. 12:45
I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. Jn. 12:46
He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jn. 12:48
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak. Jn. 12:50
¤ Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. Jn. 13:1
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God, Jn. 13:3
After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Jn. 13:5
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. Jn. 13:10
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean. Jn. 13:11
For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also. Jn. 13:15
Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. Jn. 13:16
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me, Jn. 13:18
At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he. Jn. 13:19
Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. Jn. 13:20
And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him: That which thou dost, do quickly. Jn. 13:27
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor. Jn. 13:29
A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Jn. 13:34
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. Jn. 13:35
And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be. Jn. 14:3
Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father? Jn. 14:9
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. Jn. 14:10
Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Jn. 14:11
Amen, amen, I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these shall he do. Because I go to the Father: Jn. 14:12
And whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Jn. 14:13
If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do. Jn. 14:14
And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: Jn. 14:16
In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you. Jn. 14:20
He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. Jn. 14:21
Judas saith to him, not the Iscariot: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? Jn. 14:22
He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me. Jn. 14:24
You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. Jn. 14:28
And now I have told you before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe. Jn. 14:29
But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father hath given me commandment, so do I. Arise, let us go hence. Jn. 14:31
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jn. 15:2
I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. Jn. 15:5
In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples. Jn. 15:8
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled. Jn. 15:11
This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you. Jn. 15:12
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jn. 15:13
You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. Jn. 15:14
You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Jn. 15:16
These things I command you, that you love one another. Jn. 15:17
If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. Jn. 15:18
Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. Jn. 15:20
But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. Jn. 15:21
He that hateth me hateth my Father also. Jn. 15:23
If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. Jn. 15:24
But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause. Jn. 15:25
¤ These things have I spoken to you that you may not be scandalized. Jn. 16:1
They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God. Jn. 16:2
But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. Jn. 16:4
And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou? Jn. 16:5
But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you. Jn. 16:7
But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you. Jn. 16:13
All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of mine and shew it to you. Jn. 16:15
Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father? Jn. 16:17
They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he speaketh. Jn. 16:18
And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him. And he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me? Jn. 16:19
Amen, amen, I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. Jn. 16:20
A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Jn. 16:21
And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. Jn. 16:23
Hitherto, you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full. Jn. 16:24
In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you. Jn. 16:26
For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God. Jn. 16:27
Now we know that thou knowest all things and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jn. 16:30
Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now 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. Jn. 16:32
These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress. But have confidence. I have overcome the world. Jn. 16:33
¤ These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. Jn. 17:1
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. Jn. 17:2
Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Jn. 17:3
Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are from thee: Jn. 17:7
Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them. And they have received them and have known in very deed that I came out from thee: and they have believed that thou didst send me. Jn. 17:8
And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given me: that they may be one, as we also are. Jn. 17:11
While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept: and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition: that the scripture may be fulfilled. Jn. 17:12
And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves. Jn. 17:13
I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil. Jn. 17:15
And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jn. 17:19
That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 17:21
And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them: that, they may be one, as we also are one. Jn. 17:22
I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. Jn. 17:23
Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. Jn. 17:24
Just Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee. And these have known that thou hast sent me. Jn. 17:25
And I have made known thy name to them and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Jn. 17:26
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom seek ye? Jn. 18:4
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way, Jn. 18:8
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one. Jn. 18:9
And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year. Jn. 18:13
Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people. Jn. 18:14
And Simon Peter followed Jesus: and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. Jn. 18:15
The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith I am not. Jn. 18:17
Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning: and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch. Jn. 18:28
That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die. Jn. 18:32
Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence. Jn. 18:36
Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Jn. 18:37
But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the Pasch. Will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews? Jn. 18:39
Pilate therefore went forth again and saith to them: Behold, I bring him forth unto you, that you may know that I find no cause in him. Jn. 19:4
Pilate therefore saith to him: Speakest thou not to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and I have power to release thee? Jn. 19:10
Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee hath the greater sin. Jn. 19:11
Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. Jn. 19:13
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not: The King of the Jews. But that he said: I am the King of the Jews. Jn. 19:21
They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. Jn. 19:24
After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Jn. 19:27
Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst. Jn. 19:28
Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away. Jn. 19:31
The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. Jn. 19:32
But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Jn. 19:33
And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. Jn. 19:35
For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. Jn. 19:36
And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:38
Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple: and they came to the sepulchre. Jn. 20:3
And they both ran together: and that other disciple did outrun Peter and came first to the sepulchre. Jn. 20:4
And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place. Jn. 20:7
Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw and believed. Jn. 20:8
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Jn. 20:9
When she had thus said, she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing: and she knew not that it was Jesus. Jn. 20:14
Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him: and I will take him away. Jn. 20:15
Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed. Jn. 20:29
But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name. Jn. 20:31
Simon Peter saith to them: I go a fishing. They say to him: We also come with thee. And they went forth and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing. Jn. 21:3
But when the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Jn. 21:4
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. Jn. 21:7
Jesus saith to them: Come and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? Knowing that it was the Lord. Jn. 21:12
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead. Jn. 21:14
When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. Jn. 21:15
He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. Jn. 21:16
He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep. Jn. 21:17
Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee? Jn. 21:20
This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? Jn. 21:23
This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true. Jn. 21:24
But there are also many other things which Jesus did which, if they were written every one, the world itself. I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. Jn. 21:25
And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth. Acts 1:4
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey. Acts 1:12
Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus: Acts 1:16
And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. Acts 1:19
Wherefore of these men who have companied with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, Acts 1:21
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place. Acts 1:25
And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. Acts 2:6
And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these that speak Galileans? Acts 2:7
But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you and with your ears receive my words. Acts 2:14
But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel: Acts 2:16
And it shalt come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. Acts 2:24
For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved. Acts 2:25
Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David: that he died and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. Acts 2:29
Whereas therefore he was a prophet and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne. Acts 2:30
Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified. Acts 2:36
For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:39
They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41
And all they that believed were together and had all things common. Acts 2:44
And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. Acts 3:2
But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them. Acts 3:5
And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. Acts 3:10
And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance: as did also your rulers. Acts 3:17
But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Acts 3:18
Be penitent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. That when the times of refreshment shall come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:19
And it shall be, that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people. Acts 3:23
To you first, God, raising up his Son, hath sent him to bless you: that every one may convert himself from his wickedness. Acts 3:26
Being grieved that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead: Acts 4:2
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes and ancients and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem. Acts 4:5
Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him, this man standeth here before you, whole. Acts 4:10
Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered: and they knew them that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13
But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man. Acts 4:17
But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass. Acts 4:21
For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought. Acts 4:22
And being let go, they came to their own company and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them. Acts 4:23
Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them. Acts 4:24
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants that with all confidence they may speak thy word, Acts 4:29
And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul. Neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own: but all things were common unto them. Acts 4:32
But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost and by fraud keep part of the price of the land? Acts 5:3
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it. Acts 5:5
And there came great fear upon the whole church and upon all that heard these things. Acts 5:11
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that, when Peter came, his shadow at the least might overshadow any of them and they might be delivered from their infirmities. Acts 5:15
Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him (which is the heresy of the Sadducees) were filled with envy. Acts 5:17
Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council and all the ancients of the children of Israel: and they sent to the prison to have them brought. Acts 5:21
Saying: Commanding, we commanded you that you should not teach in this name. And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine: and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us. Acts 5:28
And we are witnesses of these things: and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him. Acts 5:32
For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. Who was slain: and all that believed him were scattered and brought to nothing. Acts 5:36
And they consented to him. And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them. Acts 5:40
And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. Acts 5:41
¤ And in those days, the number of the disciples increasing, there arose a murmuring of the Greeks against the Hebrews, for that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Acts 6:1
Then the twelve, calling together the multitude of the disciples, said: It is not reason that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Acts 6:2
Now there arose some, of that which is called the synagogue of the Libertines and of the Cyrenians and of the Alexandrians and of them that were of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen. Acts 6:9
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit that spoke. Acts 6:10
For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place and shall change the traditions which Moses delivered unto us. Acts 6:14
And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel. Acts 6:15
And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage and treat them evil four hundred years. Acts 7:6
But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first. Acts 7:12
And they were translated into Sichem and were laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem. Acts 7:16
This same, dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive. Acts 7:19
And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But they understood it not. Acts 7:25
But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: Acts 7:27
This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself. Him shall you hear. Acts 7:37
This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sina and with our fathers. Who received the words of life to give unto us. Acts 7:38
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen. Acts 7:44
¤ And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time, there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles. Acts 8:1
They therefore that were dispersed went about preaching the word of God. Acts 8:4
For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out. And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed. Acts 8:7
There was therefore great joy in that city. Acts 8:8
Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: Acts 8:9
Now, when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Acts 8:14
Who, when they were come, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:15
And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Acts 8:18
Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:19
But Peter said to him: Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee: because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Acts 8:20
Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness: and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. Acts 8:22
Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me. Acts 8:24
Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert. Acts 8:26
And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? Acts 8:30
Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Acts 8:31
And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:37
And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 9:2
And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him. Acts 9:3
And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the street that is called Strait and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth. Acts 9:11
(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.) Acts 9:12
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name. Acts 9:14
And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:17
And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days. Acts 9:19
And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the son of God. Acts 9:20
And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests? Acts 9:21
But Saul increased much more in strength and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ. Acts 9:22
But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him. Acts 9:24
And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Acts 9:26
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him: and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:27
And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda. Acts 9:32
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him: who were converted to the Lord. Acts 9:35
And it came to pass in those days that she was sick and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. Acts 9:37
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them. Acts 9:38
And it came to pass that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner. Acts 9:43
¤ And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band: Acts 10:1
And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him. Acts 10:7
But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean. Acts 10:14
And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common. Acts 10:15
Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate. Acts 10:17
Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house And to hear words of thee. Acts 10:22
And it came to pass that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him and falling at his feet adored. Acts 10:25
And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together. Acts 10:27
And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean. Acts 10:28
And Peter opening his mouth, said: in very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. Acts 10:34
But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh justice is acceptable to him. Acts 10:35
Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38
And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree. Acts 10:39
And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead. Acts 10:42
To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him. Acts 10:43
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word. Acts 10:44
And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also. Acts 10:45
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we? Acts 10:47
¤ And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. Acts 11:1
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, Acts 11:2
And the Spirit said to me that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man's house. Acts 11:12
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 11:16
If then God gave them the same grace as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ: who was I, that could withstand God? Acts 11:17
Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only. Acts 11:19
And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch. Acts 11:22
Whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. And they conversed there in the church a whole year: and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians. Acts 11:26
And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius. Acts 11:28
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes. Acts 12:3
And going out, he followed him. And he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision. Acts 12:9
And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street. And immediately the angel departed from him. Acts 12:10
And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. Acts 12:11
And as soon as she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy: but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate. Acts 12:14
But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel. Acts 12:15
Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem. Acts 13:13
Then Paul rising up and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel and you that fear God, give ear. Acts 13:16
And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. Acts 13:21
For they that inhabited Jerusalem and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, judging him, have fulfilled them. Acts 13:27
And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. Acts 13:28
And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre. Acts 13:29
And we declare unto you that the promise which was made to our fathers, Acts 13:32
And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David, faithful. Acts 13:34
Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: Acts 13:38
And from all the things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. In him every one that believeth is justified. Acts 13:39
Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets: Acts 13:40
And as they went out, they desired them that on the next sabbath they would speak unto them these words. Acts 13:42
For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles: that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth. Acts 13:47
¤ And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe. Acts 14:1
This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, Acts 14:9
The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people. Acts 14:13
And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things that are in them: Acts 14:15
And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch: Acts 14:21
Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22
¤ And some, coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That, except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved. Acts 15:1
And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of the other side should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem, about this question. Acts 15:2
But there arose of the sect of the Pharisees some that believed, saying: They must be circumcised and be commanded to observe the law of Moses. Acts 15:5
And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. Acts 15:7
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things. Acts 15:17
For which cause, I judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted: Acts 15:19
But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood. Acts 15:20
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. Acts 15:21
Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting. Acts 15:23
Forasmuch as we have heard that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment: Acts 15:24
Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 15:26
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication: from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well. Acts 15:29
And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren unto them that had sent them. Acts 15:33
And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark. Acts 15:37
But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received. Acts 15:38
And there arose a dissension so that they departed one from another. And Barnabas indeed, taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus. Acts 15:39
¤ And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed: but his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:1
To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony. Acts 16:2
Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:3
And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem. Acts 16:4
And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia: being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. Acts 16:10
And upon the Sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer: and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled. Acts 16:13
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul. Acts 16:14
But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the market place to the rulers. Acts 16:19
And at midnight, Paul and Silas, praying, praised God. And they that were in prison heard them. Acts 16:25
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened and the bands of all were loosed. Acts 16:26
And the keeper of the prison, awakening out of his sleep and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. Acts 16:27
And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved? Acts 16:30
And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. Acts 16:32
But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison. And now do they thrust us out privately? Not so: but let them come. Acts 16:37
And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid: hearing that they were Romans. Acts 16:38
Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you. Acts 17:3
And some of them believed and were associated to Paul and Silas: and of those that served God and of the Gentiles a great multitude: and of noble women not a few. Acts 17:4
And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar are come hither also: Acts 17:6
Whom Jason hath received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. Acts 17:7
And many indeed of them believed: and of honourable women that were Gentiles and of men, not a few. Acts 17:12
And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude. Acts 17:13
And they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed. Acts 17:15
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews and with them that served God: and in the market place, every day, with them that were there. Acts 17:17
And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him. And some said: What is it that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods. Because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. Acts 17:18
(Now all the Athenians and strangers that were there employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) Acts 17:21
But Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. Acts 17:22
For passing by and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the Unknown God. What therefore you worship without knowing it, that I preach to you: Acts 17:23
That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us. Acts 17:27
And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men that all should every where do penance. Acts 17:30
And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them. Acts 18:2
And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. Acts 18:5
And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue. Acts 18:7
And when they desired him that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not: Acts 18:20
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, spoke and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John. Acts 18:25
For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. Acts 18:28
¤ And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples. Acts 19:1
Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus. Acts 19:4
And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles. Acts 19:10
So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons: and the diseases departed from them: and the wicked spirits went out of them. Acts 19:12
Now some also of the Jewish exorcists, who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth. Acts 19:13
And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this. Acts 19:14
And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:16
And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus. And fear fell on them all: and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. Acts 19:17
And many of them that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds Acts 19:18
And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia. Acts 19:22
Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord. Acts 19:23
Whom he calling together with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade. Acts 19:25
And you see and hear that this Paul, by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: they are not gods which are made by hands. Acts 19:26
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. Acts 19:27
And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre. Acts 19:31
And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana and of Jupiter's offspring? Acts 19:35
But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open: and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse one another. Acts 19:38
And when they were come to him and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time. Acts 20:18
How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house, Acts 20:20
Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem. Acts 20:23
But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Acts 20:24
And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Acts 20:25
Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men. Acts 20:26
I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Acts 20:29
Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day. Acts 20:31
You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished. Acts 20:34
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive. Acts 20:35
Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship. Acts 20:38
¤ And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes: and from thence to Patara. Acts 21:1
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:4
Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:12
But they hearing it, glorified God and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law. Acts 21:20
Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles to depart from Moses: saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom. Acts 21:21
What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. Acts 21:22
Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them. Acts 21:23
Take these and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads. And all will know that the things which they have heard of these are false: but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law. Acts 21:24
But, as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication. Acts 21:25
But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands upon him, crying out: Acts 21:27
Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people and the law and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple and hath violated this holy place. Acts 21:28
(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) Acts 21:29
And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band that all Jerusalem was in confusion. Acts 21:31
And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people. Acts 21:35
Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers? Acts 21:38
(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.) Acts 22:2
As the high priest doth bear me witness and all the ancients. From whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished. Acts 22:5
And it came to pass, as I was going and drawing nigh to Damascus, at mid-day, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light: Acts 22:6
And they that were with me saw indeed the light: but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me. Acts 22:9
And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do. Acts 22:10
And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus, Acts 22:11
But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will and see the Just One and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth. Acts 22:14
And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance, Acts 22:17
And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison and beat in every synagogue them that believed in thee. Acts 22:19
And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented: and kept the garments of them that killed him. Acts 22:20
And they heard him until this word and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth. For it is not fit that he should live. Acts 22:22
The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him. Acts 22:24
And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned? Acts 22:25
Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen and because he had bound him. Acts 22:29
And the high priest, Ananias, commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Acts 23:2
And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God? Acts 23:4
And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people. Acts 23:5
And Paul, knowing that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. Acts 23:6
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. Acts 23:8
And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they killed Paul. Acts 23:12
And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy. Acts 23:13
Who came to the chief priests and the ancients and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul. Acts 23:14
Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him. Acts 23:15
And the tribune, taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me? Acts 23:19
And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to-morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him. Acts 23:20
The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man that he had made known these things unto him. Acts 23:22
And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on and bring him safe to Felix the governor. Acts 23:24
This man, being taken by the Jews and ready to be killed by them, I rescued, coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman. Acts 23:27
And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell. Acts 23:30
And when he had read it and had asked of what province he was and understood that he was of Cilicia: Acts 23:34
But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in a few words. Acts 24:4
And the Jews also added and said that these things were so. Acts 24:9
Then Paul answered (the governor making a sign to him to speak): Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself. Acts 24:10
For thou mayest understand that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to adore in Jerusalem: Acts 24:11
But this I confess to thee that according to the way which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets: Acts 24:14
Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust. Acts 24:15
Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you. Acts 24:21
And he commanded a centurion to keep him: and that he should be easy and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him. Acts 24:23
And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus. Acts 24:24
Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. Acts 24:26
Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. Acts 25:3
But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. Acts 25:4
Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. Acts 25:5
To whom I answered: it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge. Acts 25:16
And Festus saith: King Agrippa and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer. Acts 25:24
Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. Acts 25:25
Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause, I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O King Agrippa, that, examination being made, I may have what to write. Acts 25:26
I think myself happy, O King Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews. Acts 26:2
Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions, that are among the Jews. Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. Acts 26:3
Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived, a Pharisee. Acts 26:5
And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment: Acts 26:6
Why should it be thought a thing incredible that God should raise the dead? Acts 26:8
And I indeed did formerly think that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Acts 26:9
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that were in company with me. Acts 26:13
But rise up and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister and a witness of those things which thou hast seen and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, Acts 26:16
To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. Acts 26:18
But to them first that are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance. Acts 26:20
That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:23
For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner. Acts 26:26
Believest thou the prophets, O King Agrippa? I know that thou believest. Acts 26:27
And Paul said: I would to God that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands. Acts 26:29
And the king rose up, and the governor and Bernice and they that sat with them. Acts 26:30
¤ And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta, Acts 27:1
Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. Acts 27:10
And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete. Acts 27:13
And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat. Acts 27:16
Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Acts 27:24
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me. Acts 27:25
But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country. Acts 27:27
And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited and continued fasting, taking nothing. Acts 27:33
And when it was day, they knew not the land. But they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship. Acts 27:39
And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out should escape. Acts 27:42
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done. And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and save themselves and get to land. Acts 27:43
And the rest, some they carried on boards and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass that every soul got safe to land. Acts 27:44
¤ And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. Acts 28:1
But they supposed that he would begin to swell up and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god. Acts 28:6
And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in. And when he had prayed and laid his hands on him, he healed him. Acts 28:8
Which being done, all that had diseases in the island came and were healed. Acts 28:9
And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors. Acts 28:11
And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him. Acts 28:16
Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me. Acts 28:18
But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar: not that I had anything to accuse my nation of. Acts 28:19
For this cause therefore I desired to see you and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain. Acts 28:20
But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea: neither did any of the brethren that came hither relate or speak any evil of thee. Acts 28:21
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted. Acts 28:22
And some believed the things that were said: but some believed not. Acts 28:24
Be it known therefore to you that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles: and they will hear it. Acts 28:28
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging: and he received all that came in to him, Acts 28:30
To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 1:7
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you: Rom. 1:9
For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you: Rom. 1:11
That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine. Rom. 1:12
And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you (and have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. Rom. 1:13
So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome. Rom. 1:15
For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first and to the Greek. Rom. 1:16
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: Rom. 1:18
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. Rom. 1:19
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made. His eternal power also and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. Rom. 1:20
Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God or given thanks: but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was darkened. Rom. 1:21
For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. Rom. 1:26
And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. Rom. 1:27
Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death: and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them. Rom. 1:32
¤ Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest. Rom. 2:1
For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things. Rom. 2:2
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Rom. 2:3
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and patience and longsuffering? Knowest thou not that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance? Rom. 2:4
But to them that are contentious and who obey not the truth but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation. Rom. 2:8
Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil: of the Jew first, and also of the Greek. Rom. 2:9
But glory and honour and peace to every one that worketh good: to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom. 2:10
For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these, having not the law, are a law to themselves. Rom. 2:14
Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, Rom. 2:19
Thou therefore, that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou, that preachest that men should not steal, stealest. Rom. 2:21
Thou, that sayest men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou, that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege: Rom. 2:22
Thou, that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God. Rom. 2:23
And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? Rom. 2:27
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh. Rom. 2:28
But he is a Jew that is one inwardly and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter: whose praise is not of men, but of God. Rom. 2:29
But God is true and every man a liar, as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words and mayest overcome when thou art judged. Rom. 3:4
And not rather (as we are slandered and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that there may come good? Whose damnation is just. Rom. 3:8
What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. Rom. 3:9
There is none that understandeth: there is none that seeketh after God. Rom. 3:11
All have turned out of the way: they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one. Rom. 3:12
Now we know that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law: that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be made subject to God. Rom. 3:19
Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction. Rom. 3:22
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Rom. 3:24
For the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ Rom. 3:26
For it is one God that justifieth circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith. Rom. 3:30
¤ What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh? Rom. 4:1
Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace but according to debt. Rom. 4:4
But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God. Rom. 4:5
This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice. Rom. 4:9
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which he had, being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised: that unto them also it may be reputed to justice: Rom. 4:11
And he might be the father of circumcision; not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. Rom. 4:12
For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world: but through the justice of faith. Rom. 4:13
Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed: not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, Rom. 4:16
(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations), before God, whom he believed: who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things that are not, as those that are. Rom. 4:17
Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be. Rom. 4:18
Most fully knowing that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform. Rom. 4:21
Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice, Rom. 4:23
But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead, Rom. 4:24
And not only so: but we glory also in tribulations, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Rom. 5:3
Now the law entered in that sin might abound. And where sin abounded, grace did more abound. Rom. 5:20
That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 5:21
¤ What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom. 6:1
God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? Rom. 6:2
Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? Rom. 6:3
For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer. Rom. 6:6
For he that is dead is justified from sin. Rom. 6:7
Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ. Rom. 6:8
Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more. Death shall no more have dominion over him. Rom. 6:9
For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom. 6:10
So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:11
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God. Rom. 6:13
Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice. Rom. 6:16
But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered. Rom. 6:17
¤ Know you not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as it liveth? Rom. 7:1
For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Rom. 7:2
Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband: so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man. Rom. 7:3
Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ: that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead that we may bring forth fruit to God. Rom. 7:4
But now we are loosed from the law of death wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom. 7:6
And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me. Rom. 7:10
Was that then which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me: that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure. Rom. 7:13
For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom. 7:14
For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will: but the evil which I hate, that I do. Rom. 7:15
If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good. Rom. 7:16
Now then it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom. 7:17
For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will is present with me: but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. Rom. 7:18
For the good which I will, I do not: but the evil which I will not, that I do. Rom. 7:19
Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it: but sin that dwelleth in me. Rom. 7:20
I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me. Rom. 7:21
But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind and captivating me in the law of sin that is in my members. Rom. 7:23
Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Rom. 7:24
¤ There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh. Rom. 8:1
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh. Rom. 8:3
That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Rom. 8:4
For they that are according to the flesh mind the things that are of the flesh: but they that are according to the spirit mind the things that are of the spirit. Rom. 8:5
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom. 8:9
And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ, from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom. 8:11
For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God. Rom. 8:16
And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. Rom. 8:17
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. Rom. 8:18
For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Rom. 8:20
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. Rom. 8:22
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? Rom. 8:24
But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. Rom. 8:25
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what the Spirit desireth: because he asketh for the saints according to God. Rom. 8:27
And we know that to them that love God all things work together unto good: to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints. Rom. 8:28
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren. Rom. 8:29
He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? Rom. 8:32
Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God is he that justifieth: Rom. 8:33
Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died: yea that is risen also again, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 8:34
But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us. Rom. 8:37
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, Rom. 8:38
That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart. Rom. 9:2
Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel. Rom. 9:6
Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. Rom. 9:7
That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed. Rom. 9:8
For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand): Not of works, but of him that calleth, Rom. 9:11
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Rom. 9:16
For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. Rom. 9:17
O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus? Rom. 9:20
That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath prepared unto glory? Rom. 9:23
As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy; one that hath obtained mercy. Rom. 9:25
What then shall we say? That the Gentiles who followed not after justice have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith. Rom. 9:30
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom. 10:2
For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth. Rom. 10:4
For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it. Rom. 10:5
But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart: Who shall ascend into heaven? That is to bring Christ down; Rom. 10:6
Or who shall descend into the deep? That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead. Rom. 10:7
For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:9
For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. Rom. 10:12
And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things? Rom. 10:15
But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation: by a foolish nation I will anger you. Rom. 10:19
But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me. I appeared openly to them that asked not after me. Rom. 10:20
But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not and contradicteth me. Rom. 10:21
But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal. Rom. 11:4
What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded. Rom. 11:7
As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this present day. Rom. 11:8
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always. Rom. 11:10
I say then: Have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them. Rom. 11:11
Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Rom. 11:19
See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness. Otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Rom. 11:22
For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? Rom. 11:24
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in. Rom. 11:25
And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Rom. 11:26
So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy. Rom. 11:31
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Rom. 11:32
¤ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service. Rom. 12:1
And be not conformed to this world: but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and the acceptable and the perfect will of God. Rom. 12:2
For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. Rom. 12:3
And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith; Rom. 12:6
Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; Rom. 12:7
He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Rom. 12:8
Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good, Rom. 12:9
Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rom. 12:14
Rejoice with them that rejoice: weep with them that weep. Rom. 12:15
¤ Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God. Rom. 13:1
Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. Rom. 13:2
For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same. Rom. 13:3
For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. Rom. 13:4
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. Rom. 13:8
And that, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Rom. 13:11
¤ Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts. Rom. 14:1
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. Rom. 14:2
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him. Rom. 14:3
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand. Rom. 14:4
He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. Rom. 14:6
For to this end Christ died and rose again: that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Rom. 14:9
Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother's way. Rom. 14:13
I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Rom. 14:14
For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men. Rom. 14:18
Therefore, let us follow after the things that are of peace and keep the things that are of edification, one towards another. Rom. 14:19
Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. Rom. 14:20
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth. Rom. 14:22
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin. Rom. 14:23
¤ Now, we that are stronger ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. Rom. 15:1
For Christ did not please himself: but, as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. Rom. 15:3
For what things soever were written were written for our learning: that, through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope. Rom. 15:4
That with one mind and with one mouth you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 15:6
For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Rom. 15:8
But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and will sing to thy name. Rom. 15:9
And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope. Rom. 15:12
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing: that you may abound in hope and in the power of the Holy Ghost. Rom. 15:13
And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another. Rom. 15:14
That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles: sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost. Rom. 15:16
By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about, as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ. Rom. 15:19
But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. Rom. 15:21
When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that, as I pass, I shall see you and be brought on my way thither by you: if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you. Rom. 15:24
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem. Rom. 15:26
And I know that when I come to you I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Rom. 15:29
I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God, Rom. 15:30
That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints. Rom. 15:31
That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you. Rom. 15:32
¤ And I commend to you Phebe, our sister, who is in the ministry of the church, that is in Cenchrae: Rom. 16:1
That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also. Rom. 16:2
Salute Apelles, approved in Christ. Salute them that are of Aristobulus' household. Rom. 16:10
Salute Herodian, my kinsman. Salute them that are of Narcissus' household, who are in the Lord. Rom. 16:11
Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes: and the brethren that are with them. Rom. 16:14
Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympias: and all the saints that are with them. Rom. 16:15
For they that are such serve not Christ our Lord but their own belly: and by pleasing speeches and good words seduce the hearts of the innocent. Rom. 16:18
Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret from eternity; Rom. 16:25
To the church of God that is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place of theirs and ours. 1 Cor. 1:2
I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: 1 Cor. 1:4
That in all things you are made rich in him, in all utterance and in all knowledge; 1 Cor. 1:5
So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:7
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no schisms among you: but that you be perfect in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1 Cor. 1:10
For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1 Cor. 1:11
Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 1 Cor. 1:12
I give God thanks, that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Caius: 1 Cor. 1:14
Lest any should say that you were baptized in my name. 1 Cor. 1:15
For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. 1 Cor. 1:18
For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. 1 Cor. 1:21
But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Cor. 1:24
For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. 1 Cor. 1:26
But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. 1 Cor. 1:27
And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: 1 Cor. 1:28
That no flesh should glory in his sight. 1 Cor. 1:29
That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. 1 Cor. 1:31
That your faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 1 Cor. 2:5
Howbeit we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, neither of the princes of this world that come to nought. 1 Cor. 2:6
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 2:9
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11
Now, we have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit that is of God: that we may know the things that are given us from God. 1 Cor. 2:12
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. 1 Cor. 2:14
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16
Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase. 1 Cor. 3:7
Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. 1 Cor. 3:8
According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Cor. 3:10
For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus. 1 Cor. 3:11
Know you not that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor. 3:16
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Cor. 3:18
And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1 Cor. 3:20
Here now it is required among the dispensers that a man be found faithful. 1 Cor. 4:2
For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 1 Cor. 4:4
But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes: that in us you may learn that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written. 1 Cor. 4:6
For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 1 Cor. 4:7
You are now full: you are now become rich: you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you. 1 Cor. 4:8
For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men. 1 Cor. 4:9
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will: and will know, not the speech of them that are puffed up, but the power. 1 Cor. 4:19
¤ It is absolutely heard that there is fornication among you and such fornication as the like is not among the heathens: that one should have his father's wife. 1 Cor. 5:1
And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this deed. 1 Cor. 5:2
I indeed, absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged, as though I were present, him that hath so done, 1 Cor. 5:3
To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 5:5
Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump? 1 Cor. 5:6
Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed. 1 Cor. 5:7
But now I have written to you, not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator or covetous or a server of idols or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner: with such a one, not so much as to eat. 1 Cor. 5:11
For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within? 1 Cor. 5:12
For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves. 1 Cor. 5:13
Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1 Cor. 6:2
Know you not that we shall judge angels? How much more things of this world? 1 Cor. 6:3
I speak to your shame. Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man that is able to judge between his brethren? 1 Cor. 6:5
But brother goeth to law with brother: and that before unbelievers. 1 Cor. 6:6
Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have law suits one with another. Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 1 Cor. 6:7
But you do wrong and defraud: and that to your brethren. 1 Cor. 6:8
Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers: Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind, 1 Cor. 6:9
Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid! 1 Cor. 6:15
Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. 1 Cor. 6:16
Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 6:18
Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own? 1 Cor. 6:19
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer: and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency. 1 Cor. 7:5
For I would that all men were even as myself. But every one hath his proper gift from God: one after this manner, and another after that. 1 Cor. 7:7
But to them that are married, not I, but the Lord, commandeth that the wife depart not from her husband. 1 Cor. 7:10
And if she depart, that she remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And let not the husband put away his wife. 1 Cor. 7:11
For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she consent to dwell with him: let him not put her away. 1 Cor. 7:12
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not and he consent to dwell with her: let her not put away her husband. 1 Cor. 7:13
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ. 1 Cor. 7:22
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity: that it is good for a man so to be. 1 Cor. 7:26
This therefore I say, brethren: The time is short. It remaineth, that they also who have wives be as if they had none: 1 Cor. 7:29
And they that weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not: and they that buy as if they possessed not: 1 Cor. 7:30
And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Cor. 7:31
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. 1 Cor. 7:32
But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided. 1 Cor. 7:33
And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord: that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world: how she may please her husband. 1 Cor. 7:34
And this I speak for your profit, not to cast a snare upon you, but for that which is decent and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment. 1 Cor. 7:35
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. 1 Cor. 7:37
Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better. 1 Cor. 7:38
But more blessed shall she be, if she so remain, according to my counsel. And I think that I also have the spirit of God. 1 Cor. 7:40
¤ Now concerning those things that are sacrificed to idols: we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up: but charity edifieth. 1 Cor. 8:1
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know. 1 Cor. 8:2
But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. 1 Cor. 8:4
For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many and lords many): 1 Cor. 8:5
For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols? 1 Cor. 8:10
My defence with them that do examine me is this. 1 Cor. 9:3
For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 1 Cor. 9:9
Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit. 1 Cor. 9:10
Know you not that they who work in the holy place eat the things that are of the holy place; and they that serve the altar partake with the altar? 1 Cor. 9:13
So also the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel. 1 Cor. 9:14
But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die rather than that any man should make my glory void. 1 Cor. 9:15
What is my reward then? That preaching the gospel, I may deliver the gospel without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 1 Cor. 9:18
For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more. 1 Cor. 9:19
And I became to the Jews a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: To them that are under the law, as if I were under the law, (whereas myself was not under the law,) that I might gain them that were under the law. 1 Cor. 9:20
To them that were without the law, as if I were without the law, (whereas I was not without the law of God, but was in the law of Christ,) that I might gain them that were without the law. 1 Cor. 9:21
To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might save all. 1 Cor. 9:22
And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be made partaker thereof. 1 Cor. 9:23
Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize. So run that you may obtain. 1 Cor. 9:24
And every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself from all things. And they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown: but we an incorruptible one. 1 Cor. 9:25
¤ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea. 1 Cor. 10:1
And all drank the same spiritual drink: (And they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.) 1 Cor. 10:4
Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things, as they also coveted. 1 Cor. 10:6
Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 10:12
Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 10:13
For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread. 1 Cor. 10:17
Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they that eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 1 Cor. 10:18
What then? Do I say that what is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? Or that the idol is any thing? 1 Cor. 10:19
But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils. 1 Cor. 10:20
Let no man seek his own, but that which is another's. 1 Cor. 10:24
If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:27
But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:28
If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1 Cor. 10:30
As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself but to many: that they may be saved. 1 Cor. 10:33
Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you. 1 Cor. 11:2
But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man: and the head of Christ is God. 1 Cor. 11:3
Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? 1 Cor. 11:14
Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse. 1 Cor. 11:17
For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you. And in part I believe it. 1 Cor. 11:18
For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you. 1 Cor. 11:19
What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not. 1 Cor. 11:22
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 1 Cor. 11:23
But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread and drink of the chalice. 1 Cor. 11:28
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:29
But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world. 1 Cor. 11:32
If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come. 1 Cor. 11:34
You know that when you were heathens, you went to dumb idols, according as you were led. 1 Cor. 12:2
Wherefore, I give you to understand that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say The Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 12:3
Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary 1 Cor. 12:22
And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 1 Cor. 12:23
But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour. 1 Cor. 12:24
That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another. 1 Cor. 12:25
And God indeed hath set some in the church; first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors: after that miracles: then the graces of healings, helps, governments, kinds of tongues, interpretations of speeches. 1 Cor. 12:28
And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 1 Cor. 13:2
But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 1 Cor. 13:10
¤ Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. 1 Cor. 14:1
For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Cor. 14:2
But he that prophesieth speaketh to men unto edification and exhortation and comfort. 1 Cor. 14:3
He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. 1 Cor. 14:4
And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. 1 Cor. 14:5
Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? 1 Cor. 14:7
If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian: and he that speaketh a barbarian to me. 1 Cor. 14:11
And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. 1 Cor. 14:13
Else, if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? Because he knoweth not what thou sayest. 1 Cor. 14:16
But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also: than ten thousand words in a tongue. 1 Cor. 14:19
If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad? 1 Cor. 14:23
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all. 1 Cor. 14:24
The secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. 1 Cor. 14:25
For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 1 Cor. 14:31
If any seem to be a prophet or spiritual, let him know the things that I write to you, that they are the commandments of the Lord. 1 Cor. 14:37
For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: 1 Cor. 15:3
And that he was buried: and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Cor. 15:4
And that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. 1 Cor. 15:5
After that, he was seen by James: then by all the apostles. 1 Cor. 15:7
Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1 Cor. 15:12
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ, whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again. 1 Cor. 15:15
Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 1 Cor. 15:18
But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep: 1 Cor. 15:20
But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. 1 Cor. 15:23
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 1 Cor. 15:28
Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them? 1 Cor. 15:29
Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first. 1 Cor. 15:36
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be: but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest. 1 Cor. 15:37
Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural: afterwards that which is spiritual. 1 Cor. 15:46
Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly. 1 Cor. 15:48
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption. 1 Cor. 15:50
And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. 1 Cor. 15:54
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable: always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58
¤ Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints: as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also. 1 Cor. 16:1
On the first day of the week, let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made. 1 Cor. 16:2
And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me. 1 Cor. 16:4
And with you perhaps I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my way whithersoever I shall go. 1 Cor. 16:6
For I will not see you now by the way: for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit. 1 Cor. 16:7
Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 1 Cor. 16:10
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct ye him on his way in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren. 1 Cor. 16:11
And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure. 1 Cor. 16:12
And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints: 1 Cor. 16:15
That you also be subject to such and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth. 1 Cor. 16:16
And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: because that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied. 1 Cor. 16:17
For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such. 1 Cor. 16:18
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house, with whom I also lodge. 1 Cor. 16:19
‡ ¤ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia: 2 Cor. 1:1
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. 2 Cor. 1:4
That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation. 2 Cor. 1:7
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation which came to us in Asia: that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life. 2 Cor. 1:8
But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead. 2 Cor. 1:9
Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us, 2 Cor. 1:10
You helping withal in prayer for us. That for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf. 2 Cor. 1:11
For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 1:12
For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end. 2 Cor. 1:13
As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory: as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:14
And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace: 2 Cor. 1:15
Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not? 2 Cor. 1:17
Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ and that hath anointed us, is God: 2 Cor. 1:21
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you, I came not any more to Corinth: 2 Cor. 1:23
For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me? 2 Cor. 2:2
And I wrote this same to you: that I may not, when I come, have sorrow upon sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice: having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 2 Cor. 2:3
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 charity I have more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 2:4
And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me: but in part, that I may not burden you all. 2 Cor. 2:5
So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 2 Cor. 2:7
Wherefore, I beseech you that you would confirm your charity towards him. 2 Cor. 2:8
For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things. 2 Cor. 2:9
That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Cor. 2:11
For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish. 2 Cor. 2:15
Being manifested, that you are the epistle of Christ, ministered by us, and written: not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God: not in tables of stone but in the fleshly tables of the heart. 2 Cor. 3:3
Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God. 2 Cor. 3:5
Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void: 2 Cor. 3:7
For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2 Cor. 3:10
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. 2 Cor. 3:11
And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. 2 Cor. 3:13
And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost, 2 Cor. 4:3
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. 2 Cor. 4:4
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency may be of the power of God and not of us. 2 Cor. 4:7
Always bearing about in our body the mortification of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodies. 2 Cor. 4:10
For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor. 4:11
Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you. 2 Cor. 4:14
For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 2 Cor. 4:15
For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. 2 Cor. 4:17
¤ For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 2 Cor. 5:1
For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven. 2 Cor. 5:2
Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked. 2 Cor. 5:3
For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor. 5:4
Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit, 2 Cor. 5:5
Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in the body we are absent from the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:6
For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men: but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest. 2 Cor. 5:11
We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf: that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart. 2 Cor. 5:12
For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. 2 Cor. 5:14
And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again. 2 Cor. 5:15
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21
¤ And we helping do exhort you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1
Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed. 2 Cor. 6:3
I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together. 2 Cor. 7:3
And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Cor. 7:7
For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful, 2 Cor. 7:8
Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing. 2 Cor. 7:9
For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Cor. 7:10
For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you before God: 2 Cor. 7:12
And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth. 2 Cor. 7:14
I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you. 2 Cor. 7:16
¤ Now we make known unto you, brethren, the grace of God that hath been given in the churches of Macedonia. 2 Cor. 8:1
That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity. 2 Cor. 8:2
With much entreaty begging of us the grace and communication of the ministry that is done toward the saints. 2 Cor. 8:4
Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. 2 Cor. 8:6
That as in all things you abound in faith and word and knowledge and all carefulness, moreover also in your charity towards us: so in this grace also you may abound. 2 Cor. 8:7
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. 2 Cor. 8:9
Now therefore perform ye it also in deed: that as your mind is forward to be willing, so it may be also to perform, out of that which you have. 2 Cor. 8:11
For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. 2 Cor. 8:12
For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, 2 Cor. 8:13
But by an equality. In this present time let your abundance supply their want, that their abundance also may supply your want: that there may be an equality, 2 Cor. 8:14
As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want. 2 Cor. 8:15
And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will: 2 Cor. 8:19
¤ For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you. 2 Cor. 9:1
For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia also is ready from the year past. And your emulation hath provoked very many. 2 Cor. 9:2
Now I have sent the brethren, that the thing which we boast of concerning you be not made void in this behalf, that (as I have said) you may be ready: 2 Cor. 9:3
Therefore I thought it necessary to desire the brethren that they would go to you before and prepare this blessing before promised, to be ready, so as a blessing, not as covetousness. 2 Cor. 9:5
And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work, 2 Cor. 9:8
And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice: 2 Cor. 9:10
That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. 2 Cor. 9:11
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence wherewith I am thought to be bold, against some who reckon us as if we walked according to the flesh. 2 Cor. 10:2
And every height that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God: and bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ: 2 Cor. 10:5
See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ's let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we also. 2 Cor. 10:7
But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles, 2 Cor. 10:9
Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by epistles when absent, such also we will be indeed when present. 2 Cor. 10:11
For we dare not match or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but we measure ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves. 2 Cor. 10:12
Yea, unto those places that are beyond you to preach the gospel: not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand. 2 Cor. 10:16
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Cor. 10:17
For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor. 11:2
But I fear lest, as the serpent seduced Eve by his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted and fall from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Cor. 11:3
For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel, which you have not received: you might well bear with him. 2 Cor. 11:4
For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles. 2 Cor. 11:5
Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached unto you the Gospel of God freely? 2 Cor. 11:7
And, when I was present with you and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia. And in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you: and so I will keep myself. 2 Cor. 11:9
The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia. 2 Cor. 11:10
But what I do, that I will do: that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion: that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 2 Cor. 11:12
I say again (Let no man think me to be foolish: otherwise take me as one foolish, that I also may glory a little): 2 Cor. 11:16
That which I speak, I speak not according to God: but as it were in foolishness, in this matter of glorying. 2 Cor. 11:17
Seeing that many glory according to the flesh, I will glory also. 2 Cor. 11:18
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my infirmity. 2 Cor. 11:30
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not. 2 Cor. 11:31
That he was caught up into paradise and heard secret words which it is not granted to man to utter. 2 Cor. 12:4
For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish: for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me. 2 Cor. 12:6
For which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. 2 Cor. 12:8
And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Cor. 12:9
I am become foolish. You have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you. For I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing. 2 Cor. 12:11
For what is there that you have had less than the other churches but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury. 2 Cor. 12:13
Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 2 Cor. 12:14
Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ: but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification. 2 Cor. 12:19
For I fear lest perhaps, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you. 2 Cor. 12:20
Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before and have not done penance for the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness that they have committed. 2 Cor. 12:21
I have told before and foretell, as present and now absent, to them that sinned before and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare. 2 Cor. 13:2
Do you seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me, who towards you is not weak, but is mighty in you? 2 Cor. 13:3
Try your own selves if you be in the faith: prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates? 2 Cor. 13:5
But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates. 2 Cor. 13:6
Now we pray God that you may do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is good and that we may be as reprobates. 2 Cor. 13:7
For we rejoice that we are weak and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection. 2 Cor. 13:9
Therefore I write these things, being absent, that, being present, I may not deal more severely, according to the power which the Lord hath given me unto edification and not unto destruction. 2 Cor. 13:10
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: Gal. 1:4
I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. Gal. 1:6
Which is not another: only there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Gal. 1:7
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. Gal. 1:8
As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema. Gal. 1:9
For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. Gal. 1:11
For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God and wasted it. Gal. 1:13
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles: immediately I condescended not to flesh and blood. Gal. 1:16
But because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into servitude. Gal. 2:4
To whom we yielded not by subjection: no, not for an hour: that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. Gal. 2:5
But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man): for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing. Gal. 2:6
But contrariwise, when they had seen that to me was committed the gospel of the uncircumcision, as to Peter was that of the circumcision. Gal. 2:7
And when they had known the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship: that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision: Gal. 2:9
Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do. Gal. 2:10
For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. Gal. 2:12
And to his dissimulation the rest of the Jews consented: so that Barnabas also was led by them into that dissimulation. Gal. 2:13
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly unto the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles and not as the Jews do, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? Gal. 2:14
But knowing that man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also believe in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Gal. 2:16
For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God; Gal. 2:19
With Christ I am nailed to the cross. And I live, now not I: but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and delivered himself for me. Gal. 2:20
¤ O senseless Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth: before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been set forth, crucified among you? Gal. 3:1
Are you so foolish that, whereas you began in the Spirit, you would now be made perfect by the flesh? Gal. 3:3
Know ye, therefore, that they who are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Gal. 3:7
And the scripture, foreseeing that God justifieth the Gentiles by faith, told unto Abraham before: In thee shall all nations be blessed. Gal. 3:8
Therefore, they that are of faith shall be blessed with faithful Abraham. Gal. 3:9
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Gal. 3:10
But that in the law no man is justified with God, it is manifest: because the just man liveth by faith. Gal. 3:11
But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them. Gal. 3:12
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree). Gal. 3:13
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the Spirit by faith. Gal. 3:14
Now this I say: that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect. Gal. 3:17
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe. Gal. 3:22
But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed. Gal. 3:23
Wherefore the law was our pedagogue in Christ: that we might be justified by faith. Gal. 3:24
That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons. Gal. 4:5
But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known by God: how turn you again to the weak and needy elements which you desire to serve again? Gal. 4:9
Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me. Gal. 4:15
They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. Gal. 4:17
But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you. Gal. 4:18
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, have you not read the law? Gal. 4:21
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman. Gal. 4:22
For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children. Gal. 4:25
But that Jerusalem which is above is free: which is our mother. Gal. 4:26
For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. Gal. 4:27
But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now. Gal. 4:29
Behold, I Paul tell you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. Gal. 5:2
And I testify again to every man circumcising himself that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Gal. 5:3
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity. Gal. 5:6
You did run well. Who hath hindered you, that you should not obey the truth? Gal. 5:7
This persuasion is not from him that calleth you. Gal. 5:8
I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be. Gal. 5:10
For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh: For these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. Gal. 5:17
Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. Gal. 5:21
And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences. Gal. 5:24
And let him that is instructed in the word communicate to him that instructeth him, in all good things. Gal. 6:6
For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Gal. 6:8
For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ. Gal. 6:12
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Gal. 6:13
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Gal. 6:14
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Eph. 1:4
That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, Eph. 1:9
In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. Eph. 1:10
That we may be unto the praise of his glory: we who before hoped in Christ: Eph. 1:12
Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints, Eph. 1:15
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: Eph. 1:17
The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. Eph. 1:18
Above all principality and power and virtue and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Eph. 1:21
Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: Eph. 2:2
That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:7
For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8
Not of works, that no man may glory. Eph. 2:9
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:10
For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: Eph. 2:11
That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise and without God in this world. Eph. 2:12
Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace Eph. 2:15
And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh. Eph. 2:17
How that, according to revelation, the mystery has been made known to me, as I have written above in a few words: Eph. 3:3
That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body: and copartners of his promise in Christ Jesus, by the gospel Eph. 3:6
And to enlighten all men, that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God who created all things: Eph. 3:9
That the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the principalities and powers in heavenly places through the church, Eph. 3:10
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man: Eph. 3:16
That Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts: that, being rooted and founded in charity, Eph. 3:17
To know also the charity of Christ, which surpasseth all knowledge: that you may be filled unto all the fulness of God. Eph. 3:19
Now to him who is able to do all things more abundantly than we desire or understand, according to the power that worketh in us: Eph. 3:20
¤ I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called: Eph. 4:1
Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? Eph. 4:9
He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things. Eph. 4:10
That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive. Eph. 4:14
This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind: Eph. 4:17
Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts. Eph. 4:18
If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus: Eph. 4:21
He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need. Eph. 4:28
Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the hearers. Eph. 4:29
For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph. 5:5
For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. Eph. 5:12
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light. Eph. 5:13
Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. Eph. 5:14
That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: Eph. 5:26
That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph. 5:27
So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph. 5:28
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest be long lived upon earth. Eph. 6:3
Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. Eph. 6:5
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Eph. 6:8
And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. And there is no respect of persons with him. Eph. 6:9
Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. Eph. 6:11
Therefore, take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day and to stand in all things perfect. Eph. 6:13
And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Eph. 6:19
For which I am an ambassador in a chain: so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought. Eph. 6:20
But that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things: Eph. 6:21
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose: that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Eph. 6:22
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen. Eph. 6:24
Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6
As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. Phil. 1:7
And this I pray: That your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding: Phil. 1:9
That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ: Phil. 1:10
Now, brethren, I desire you should know that the things which have happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel: Phil. 1:12
So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court and in all other places. Phil. 1:13
And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands. Phil. 1:16
Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. Phil. 1:17
But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Phil. 1:18
For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Phil. 1:19
According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded: but with all confidence, as always, so now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. Phil. 1:20
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: Phil. 1:25
That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. Phil. 1:26
Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. Phil. 1:27
Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now have heard of me. Phil. 1:30
Fulfil ye my joy, that you be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment. Phil. 2:2
Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's. Phil. 2:4
That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: Phil. 2:10
And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2:11
That you may be blameless and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation: among whom you shine as lights in the world. Phil. 2:15
And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you. Phil. 2:19
For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are Jesus Christ's. Phil. 2:21
Now know ye the proof of him: that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel. Phil. 2:22
And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you shortly. Phil. 2:24
But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer and fellow soldier, but your apostle: and he that hath ministered to my wants. Phil. 2:25
For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick. Phil. 2:26
Therefore, I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow. Phil. 2:28
Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service. Phil. 2:30
According to zeal, persecuting the church of God: According to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame. Phil. 3:6
But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ. Phil. 3:7
Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ. Phil. 3:8
And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith. Phil. 3:9
That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death, Phil. 3:10
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: Forgetting the things that are behind and stretching forth myself to those that are before, Phil. 3:13
Nevertheless, whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule. Phil. 3:16
For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Phil. 3:18
Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied. Phil. 4:10
And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only. Phil. 4:15
Not that I seek the gift: but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account. Phil. 4:17
All the saints salute you: especially they that are of Caesar's household. Phil. 4:22
For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, Col. 1:5
Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: Col. 1:9
That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God: Col. 1:10
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy: Col. 1:18
Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell: Col. 1:19
And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth and the things that are in heaven. Col. 1:20
If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am made a minister. Col. 1:23
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church: Col. 1:24
Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfil the word of God: Col. 1:25
Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Col. 1:28
¤ For I would have you know what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh: Col. 2:1
That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus: Col. 2:2
Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words. Col. 2:4
Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross. Col. 2:14
¤ Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Col. 3:1
Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth. Col. 3:2
And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him. Col. 3:10
Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ. Col. 3:24
For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God. Col. 3:25
¤ Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven. Col. 4:1
Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound): Col. 4:3
That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak. Col. 4:4
Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time. Col. 4:5
Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man. Col. 4:6
All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you. Col. 4:7
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you and comfort your hearts: Col. 4:8
With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you. Col. 4:9
And Jesus that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision. These only are my helpers, in the kingdom of God: who have been a comfort to me. Col. 4:11
Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God. Col. 4:12
For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you and for them that are at Laodicea and them at Hierapolis. Col. 4:13
Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea: and Nymphas and the church that is in his house. Col. 4:15
And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans. Col. 4:16
And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. Col. 4:17
So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 1 Th. 1:7
For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. 1 Th. 1:8
¤ For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 1 Th. 2:1
But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who proveth our hearts. 1 Th. 2:4
You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and without blame we have been to you that have believed: 1 Th. 2:10
We testified to every one of you that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1 Th. 2:12
Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed. 1 Th. 2:13
Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end. 1 Th. 2:16
That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1 Th. 3:3
For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations: as also it is come to pass, and you know. 1 Th. 3:4
For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain. 1 Th. 3:5
But now when Timothy came to us from you and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you: 1 Th. 3:6
Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith? 1 Th. 3:10
¤ For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. 1 Th. 4:1
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication: 1 Th. 4:3
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour, 1 Th. 4:4
Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: 1 Th. 4:5
And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified. 1 Th. 4:6
Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us. 1 Th. 4:8
For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more: 1 Th. 4:10
And that you use your endeavour to be quiet: and that you do your own business and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: 1 Th. 4:11
And that you walk honestly towards them that are without: and that you want nothing of any man's. 1 Th. 4:12
And we will not have you ignorant brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope. 1 Th. 4:13
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. 1 Th. 4:14
For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 1 Th. 4:15
¤ But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you: 1 Th. 5:1
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night. 1 Th. 5:2
For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. 1 Th. 5:3
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Th. 5:4
For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. 1 Th. 5:7
Who died for us: that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. 1 Th. 5:10
That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. 1 Th. 5:13
See that none render evil for evil to any man: but ever follow that which is good towards each other and towards all men. 1 Th. 5:15
But prove all things: hold fast that which is good. 1 Th. 5:21
And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things: that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Th. 5:23
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 1 Th. 5:27
So that we ourselves also glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all your persecutions and tribulations: which you endure 2 Th. 1:4
For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer. 2 Th. 1:5
Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble you: 2 Th. 1:6
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day. 2 Th. 1:10
Wherefore also we pray always for you: That our God would make you worthy of his vocation and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power: 2 Th. 1:11
That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:12
That you be not easily moved from your sense nor be terrified, neither by spirit nor by word nor by epistle, as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand. 2 Th. 2:2
Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. 2 Th. 2:4
Remember you not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Th. 2:5
And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. 2 Th. 2:6
For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way. 2 Th. 2:7
And then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: him 2 Th. 2:8
And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Th. 2:10
That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity. 2 Th. 2:12
But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth: 2 Th. 2:13
¤ For the rest, brethren, pray for us that the word of God may run and may be glorified, even as among you: 2 Th. 3:1
And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men: for all men have not faith. 2 Th. 3:2
And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord that the things which we command, you both do and will do. 2 Th. 3:4
And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition which they have received of us. 2 Th. 3:6
Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us. 2 Th. 3:9
For also, when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat. 2 Th. 3:10
Now we charge them that are such and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread. 2 Th. 3:12
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 2 Th. 3:14
As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise: 1 Tim. 1:3
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully. 1 Tim. 1:8
Knowing this: That the law is not made for the just man but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1 Tim. 1:9
I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry: 1 Tim. 1:12
A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief. 1 Tim. 1:15
But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. 1 Tim. 1:16
This precept, I commend to thee, O son Timothy: according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare, 1 Tim. 1:18
Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 Tim. 1:20
¤ I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men: 1 Tim. 2:1
For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. 1 Tim. 2:2
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention. 1 Tim. 2:8
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity. 1 Tim. 3:4
For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 3:13
These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly. 1 Tim. 3:14
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1 Tim. 3:15
¤ Now the Spirit manifestly saith that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error and doctrines of devils, 1 Tim. 4:1
Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and by them that have known the truth. 1 Tim. 4:3
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving: 1 Tim. 4:4
For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 1 Tim. 4:8
Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. 1 Tim. 4:14
Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all. 1 Tim. 4:15
Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4:16
Honour widows that are widows indeed. 1 Tim. 5:3
But she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, let her trust in God and continue in supplications and prayers night and day. 1 Tim. 5:5
For she that liveth in pleasures is dead while she is living. 1 Tim. 5:6
And this give in charge, that they may be blameless. 1 Tim. 5:7
Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1 Tim. 5:10
I will, therefore, that the younger should marry, bear children, be mistresses of families, give no occasion to the adversary to speak evil. 1 Tim. 5:14
If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed. 1 Tim. 5:16
Let the priests that rule well be esteemed worthy of double honour: especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 1 Tim. 5:17
For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 1 Tim. 5:18
Them that sin reprove before all that the rest also may have fear. 1 Tim. 5:20
I charge thee, before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by declining to either side. 1 Tim. 5:21
In like manner also good deeds are manifest: and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 1 Tim. 5:25
But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 1 Tim. 6:2
If any man teach otherwise and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to that doctrine which is according to godliness, 1 Tim. 6:3
For they that will become rich fall into temptation and into the snare of the devil and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition. 1 Tim. 6:9
That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Tim. 6:14
To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life. 1 Tim. 6:19
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called. 1 Tim. 6:20
I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers, with a pure conscience, that without ceasing I have a remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day. 2 Tim. 1:3
Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy: 2 Tim. 1:4
Calling to mind that faith which is in thee unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also. 2 Tim. 1:5
For which cause I admonish thee that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands. 2 Tim. 1:6
For which cause, I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day. 2 Tim. 1:12
Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes. 2 Tim. 1:15
The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest. 2 Tim. 1:18
No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses: that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself. 2 Tim. 2:4
For he also that striveth for the mastery is not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 2 Tim. 2:5
The husbandman that laboureth must first partake of the fruits. 2 Tim. 2:6
Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel: 2 Tim. 2:8
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. 2 Tim. 2:10
Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15
Who have erred from the truth, saying that the resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some. 2 Tim. 2:18
But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice, faith, charity and peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Tim. 2:22
And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strifes. 2 Tim. 2:23
With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth: if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth; 2 Tim. 2:25
¤ Know also this, that in the last days shall come dangerous times. 2 Tim. 3:1
And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim. 3:12
That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work. 2 Tim. 3:17
As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. 2 Tim. 4:8
The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee: and the books, especially the parchments. 2 Tim. 4:13
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished and that all the Gentiles may hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 2 Tim. 4:17
For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee: Tit. 1:5
Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to convince the gainsayers. Tit. 1:9
This testimony is true. Wherefore, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith: Tit. 1:13
All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Tit. 1:15
They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him: being abominable and incredulous and to every good work reprobate. Tit. 1:16
¤ But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine: Tit. 2:1
That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. Tit. 2:2
That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children. Tit. 2:4
To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed. Tit. 2:5
Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober. Tit. 2:6
The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us. Tit. 2:8
Not defrauding, but in all things shewing good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. Tit. 2:10
Instructing us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world, Tit. 2:12
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. Tit. 2:14
That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs according to hope of life everlasting. Tit. 3:7
It is a faithful saying. And these things I will have thee affirm constantly, that they who believe in God may be careful to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Tit. 3:8
A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid: Tit. 3:10
Knowing that he that is such an one is subverted and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment. Tit. 3:11
Send forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollo, with care that nothing be wanting to them. Tit. 3:13
And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful. Tit. 3:14
All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen. Tit. 3:15
That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work that is in you in Christ Jesus. Ph'm 1:6
Wherefore, though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus to command thee that which is to the purpose: Ph'm 1:8
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel. Ph'm 1:13
But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary. Ph'm 1:14
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee that thou mightest receive him again for ever: Ph'm 1:15
And if he hath wronged thee in any thing or is in thy debt, put that to my account. Ph'm 1:18
I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee that thou owest me thy own self also. Ph'm 1:19
Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. Ph'm 1:21
But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. Ph'm 1:22
And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire. Heb. 1:7
How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? Which, having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him. Heb. 2:3
But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Heb. 2:6
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him. Heb. 2:8
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God he might taste death for all. Heb. 2:9
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: Heb. 2:11
Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil: Heb. 2:14
Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. Heb. 2:17
For in that wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted he is able to succour them also that are tempted. Heb. 2:18
Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house. Heb. 3:2
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house. Heb. 3:3
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God. Heb. 3:4
But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called to day, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 3:13
While it is said: To day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation. Heb. 3:15
For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. Heb. 3:16
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? Heb. 3:17
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous? Heb. 3:18
And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief. Heb. 3:19
Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief: Heb. 4:6
For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his. Heb. 4:10
Let us hasten therefore to enter into that rest: lest any man fall into the same example of unbelief. Heb. 4:11
Having therefore a great high priest that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God: let us hold fast our confession. Heb. 4:14
Let us go therefore with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy and find grace in seasonable aid. Heb. 4:16
¤ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: Heb. 5:1
Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. Heb. 5:2
Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. Heb. 5:4
So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. Heb. 5:5
Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. Heb. 5:7
And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation: Heb. 5:9
For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. Heb. 5:13
For the earth, that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God. Heb. 6:7
But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers is reprobate and very near unto a curse: whose end is to be burnt. Heb. 6:8
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints. Heb. 6:10
And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end: Heb. 6:11
That you become not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises. Heb. 6:12
That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us. Heb. 6:18
To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace: Heb. 7:2
And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham. Heb. 7:5
But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. Heb. 7:6
And without all contradiction, that which is less is blessed by the better. Heb. 7:7
And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth. Heb. 7:8
If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron? Heb. 7:11
For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law, Heb. 7:12
For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. Heb. 7:14
(For the others indeed were made priests without an oath: But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever). Heb. 7:21
But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood: Heb. 7:24
Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us. Heb. 7:25
For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: Heb. 7:26
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer. Heb. 8:3
If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law. Heb. 8:4
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount. Heb. 8:5
For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second. Heb. 8:7
Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old is near its end. Heb. 8:13
Having a golden censer and the ark of the testament covered about on every part with gold, in which was a golden pot that had manna and the rod of Aaron that had blossomed and the tables of the testament. Heb. 9:4
The Holy Ghost signifying this: That the way into the Holies was not yet made manifest, whilst the former tabernacle was yet standing. Heb. 9:8
Which is a parable of the time present: according to which gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, as to the conscience, make him perfect that serveth, only in meats and in drinks, Heb. 9:9
But Christ, being come an high Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: Heb. 9:11
And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 9:15
It is necessary therefore that the patterns of heavenly things should be cleansed with these: but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Heb. 9:23
For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. Heb. 9:24
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others: Heb. 9:25
So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation. Heb. 9:28
For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away. Heb. 10:4
Then said I: Behold I come: in the head of the book it is written of me: that I should do thy will, O God. Heb. 10:7
Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth. Heb. 10:9
For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Heb. 10:14
And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said: Heb. 10:15
A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh: Heb. 10:20
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised): Heb. 10:23
For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people. Heb. 10:30
And on the one hand indeed, by reproaches and tribulations, were made a gazingstock; and on the other, became companions of them that were used in such sort. Heb. 10:33
For you both had compassion on them that were in bands and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. Heb. 10:34
For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise. Heb. 10:36
For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay. Heb. 10:37
¤ Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not. Heb. 11:1
By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made. Heb. 11:3
By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh. Heb. 11:4
By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. Heb. 11:5
But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him. Heb. 11:6
By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb. 11:8
For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God. Heb. 11:10
By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised, Heb. 11:11
All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth. Heb. 11:13
For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country. Heb. 11:14
And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return. Heb. 11:15
But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Heb. 11:16
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Heb. 11:17
Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. Heb. 11:19
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible. Heb. 11:27
By faith he celebrated the pasch and the shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them. Heb. 11:28
Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection. Heb. 11:35
God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us. Heb. 11:40
For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. Heb. 12:3
And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification. Heb. 12:10
Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield to them that are exercised by it the most peaceable fruit of justice. Heb. 12:11
And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed. Heb. 12:13
For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it. Heb. 12:17
For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched and a burning fire and a whirlwind and darkness and storm, Heb. 12:18
And the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them. Heb. 12:19
For they did not endure that which was said: and if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned. Heb. 12:20
And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble. Heb. 12:21
And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel. Heb. 12:24
See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven. Heb. 12:25
And in that he saith: Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. Heb. 12:27
Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them: and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body. Heb. 13:3
So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me. Heb. 13:6
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them. Heb. 13:9
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. Heb. 13:12
For, we have not here a lasting city: but we seek one that is to come. Heb. 13:14
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name. Heb. 13:15
Obey your prelates and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls: that they may do this with joy and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you. Heb. 13:17
And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. Heb. 13:19
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13:21
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words. Heb. 13:22
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you. Heb. 13:23
Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience Jas. 1:3
And patience hath a perfect work: that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing. Jas. 1:4
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Jas. 1:6
Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. Jas. 1:7
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him. Jas. 1:12
Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man. Jas. 1:13
For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures. Jas. 1:18
But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 1:25
And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel and shall say to him: Sit thou here well: but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or: Sit under my footstool: Jas. 2:3
Hearken, my dearest brethren: Hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him? Jas. 2:5
Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you? Jas. 2:7
For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jas. 2:11
For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment. Jas. 2:13
And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? Jas. 2:16
Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. Jas. 2:19
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jas. 2:20
Seest thou that faith did cooperate with his works and by works faith was made perfect? Jas. 2:22
Do you see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only? Jas. 2:24
¤ Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment. Jas. 3:1
For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us: and we turn about their whole body. Jas. 3:3
But the wisdom that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. Jas. 3:17
And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. Jas. 3:18
You ask and receive not: because you ask amiss, that you may consume it on your concupiscences. Jas. 4:3
Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world becometh an enemy of God. Jas. 4:4
Or do you think that the scripture saith in vain: To envy doth the spirit covet which dwelleth in you? Jas. 4:5
Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Jas. 4:11
There is one lawgiver and judge, that is able to destroy and to deliver. Jas. 4:12
But who art thou that judgest thy neighbour? Behold, now you that say: To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year and will traffic and make our gain. Jas. 4:13
For that you should say: If the Lord will, and, If we shall live, we will do this or that. Jas. 4:15
Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door. Jas. 5:9
Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate. Jas. 5:11
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be: Yea, Yea: No, No: that you fall not under judgment. Jas. 5:12
Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. Jas. 5:16
Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth. And it rained not for three years and six months. Jas. 5:17
He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins. Jas. 5:20
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you, 1 Pet. 1:4
That the trial of your faith (much more precious than gold which is tried by the fire) may be found unto praise and glory and honour at the appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Pet. 1:7
Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did signify, when it foretold those sufferings that are in Christ and the glories that should follow. 1 Pet. 1:11
To whom it was revealed that, not to themselves but to you, they ministered those things which are now declared to you by them that have preached the gospel to you: the Holy Ghost being sent down from heaven, on whom the angels desire to look. 1 Pet. 1:12
But according to him that hath called you, who is holy, be you also in all manner of conversation holy: 1 Pet. 1:15
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers: 1 Pet. 1:18
Who through him are faithful in God who raised him up from the dead and hath given him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 1:21
As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation: 1 Pet. 2:2
If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet. 1 Pet. 2:3
Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded. 1 Pet. 2:6
To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: 1 Pet. 2:7
But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 1 Pet. 2:9
Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Pet. 2:12
For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 1 Pet. 2:15
For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. 1 Pet. 2:21
Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. 1 Pet. 2:23
Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. 1 Pet. 2:24
¤ In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives, 1 Pet. 3:1
Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered. 1 Pet. 3:7
Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Pet. 3:9
For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. 1 Pet. 3:10
Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things. 1 Pet. 3:12
And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? 1 Pet. 3:13
But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you. 1 Pet. 3:15
But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 1 Pet. 3:16
Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison: 1 Pet. 3:19
Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. 1 Pet. 3:20
Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him. 1 Pet. 3:22
¤ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sins: 1 Pet. 4:1
That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men but according to the will of God. 1 Pet. 4:2
Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness: speaking evil of you. 1 Pet. 4:4
For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: That they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh: but may live according to God, in the Spirit. 1 Pet. 4:6
If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Pet. 4:11
But if you partake of the sufferings of Christ, rejoice that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 1 Pet. 4:13
If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory and power of God, and that which is his Spirit resteth upon you. 1 Pet. 4:14
But, if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God in that name. 1 Pet. 4:16
For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if at first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God? 1 Pet. 4:17
Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commend their souls in good deeds to the faithful Creator. 1 Pet. 4:19
¤ The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech who am myself also an ancient and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: 1 Pet. 5:1
Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: 1 Pet. 5:6
Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls, your brethren who are in the world. 1 Pet. 5:9
By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand. 1 Pet. 5:12
The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you. And so doth my son, Mark. 1 Pet. 5:13
‡ ¤ Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ: to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:1
By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. 2 Pet. 1:4
For he that hath not these things with him is blind and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 2 Pet. 1:9
Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time. 2 Pet. 1:10
Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me. 2 Pet. 1:14
And I will endeavour that you frequently have after my decease whereby you may keep a memory of these things. 2 Pet. 1:15
And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts. 2 Pet. 1:19
Understanding this first: That no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation. 2 Pet. 1:20
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: 2 Pet. 2:4
And reducing the cities of the Sodomites and of the Gomorrhites into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly, 2 Pet. 2:6
Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls: having their heart exercised with covetousness: children of malediction. 2 Pet. 2:14
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. 2 Pet. 2:21
For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit; and: The sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Pet. 2:22
That you may be mindful of those words which I told you before from the holy prophets and of your apostles, of the precepts of the Lord and Saviour. 2 Pet. 3:2
Knowing this first: That in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2 Pet. 3:3
Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Pet. 3:4
For this they are wilfully ignorant of: That the heavens were before, and the earth out of water and through water, consisting by the word of God: 2 Pet. 3:5
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. 2 Pet. 3:6
But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Pet. 3:8
The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance, 2 Pet. 3:9
Seeing then that all these things are to be dissolved, what manner of people ought you to be in holy conversation and godliness? 2 Pet. 3:11
Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. 2 Pet. 3:14
‡ ¤ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life. 1 Jn. 1:1
That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you: that you also may have fellowship with us and our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 Jn. 1:3
And these things we write to you, that you may rejoice and your joy may be full. 1 Jn. 1:4
And this is the declaration which we have heard from him and declare unto you: That God is light and in him there is no darkness. 1 Jn. 1:5
If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. 1 Jn. 1:6
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 Jn. 1:8
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar: and his word is not in us. 1 Jn. 1:10
¤ My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just. 1 Jn. 2:1
And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. 1 Jn. 2:3
He who saith that he knoweth him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar: and the truth is not in him. 1 Jn. 2:4
But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him. 1 Jn. 2:5
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. 1 Jn. 2:6
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now. 1 Jn. 2:9
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light: and there is no scandal in him. 1 Jn. 2:10
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth: because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 Jn. 2:11
For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 Jn. 2:16
And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 Jn. 2:17
Little children, it is the last hour: and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour. 1 Jn. 2:18
They went out from us but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us: but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us. 1 Jn. 2:19
I have not written to you as to them that know not the truth, but as to them that know it: and that no lie is of the truth. 1 Jn. 2:21
Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. 1 Jn. 2:22
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also. 1 Jn. 2:23
As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. 1 Jn. 2:24
These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. 1 Jn. 2:26
And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you: but as his unction teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him. 1 Jn. 2:27
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be confounded by him at his coming. 1 Jn. 2:28
If you know that he is just, know ye, that every one also who doth justice is born of him. 1 Jn. 2:29
¤ Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him. 1 Jn. 3:1
Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God: and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is. 1 Jn. 3:2
And every one that hath this hope in him sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy. 1 Jn. 3:3
And you know that he appeared to take away our sins: and in him there is no sin. 1 Jn. 3:5
Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just. 1 Jn. 3:7
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 Jn. 3:8
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother. 1 Jn. 3:10
For this is the declaration which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another. 1 Jn. 3:11
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. 1 Jn. 3:14
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. 1 Jn. 3:15
He that hath the substance of this world and shall see his brother in need and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him? 1 Jn. 3:17
In this we know that we are of the truth and in his sight shall persuade our hearts. 1 Jn. 3:19
And this is his commandment: That we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us. 1 Jn. 3:23
And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 Jn. 3:24
By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 1 Jn. 4:2
And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh: and he is now already in the world. 1 Jn. 4:3
You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 Jn. 4:4
We are of God. He that knoweth God heareth us. He that is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 Jn. 4:6
Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for charity is of God. And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. 1 Jn. 4:7
He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is charity. 1 Jn. 4:8
By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. 1 Jn. 4:9
In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit. 1 Jn. 4:13
And we have seen and do testify that the Father hath sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. 1 Jn. 4:14
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. 1 Jn. 4:15
And we have known and have believed the charity which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity abideth in God, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16
In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world. 1 Jn. 4:17
Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth is not perfected in charity. 1 Jn. 4:18
If any man say: I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not? 1 Jn. 4:20
And this commandment we have from God, that he who loveth God love also his brother. 1 Jn. 4:21
¤ Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him who begot, loveth him also who is born of him. 1 Jn. 5:1
In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep his commandments. 1 Jn. 5:2
For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy. 1 Jn. 5:3
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 Jn. 5:5
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth. 1 Jn. 5:6
And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit and the water and the blood. And these three are one. 1 Jn. 5:8
He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. 1 Jn. 5:10
And this is the testimony that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. 1 Jn. 5:11
He that hath the Son hath life. He that hath not the Son hath not life. 1 Jn. 5:12
These things I write to you that you may know that you have eternal life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God. 1 Jn. 5:13
And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. 1 Jn. 5:14
And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. 1 Jn. 5:15
He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask: and life shall be given to him who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death. For that I say not that any man ask. 1 Jn. 5:16
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him and the wicked one toucheth him not. 1 Jn. 5:18
We know that we are of God and the whole world is seated in wickedness. 1 Jn. 5:19
And we know that the Son of God is come. And he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. 1 Jn. 5:20
‡ ¤ The Ancient to the lady Elect and her children, whom I love in the truth: and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth, 2 Jn. 1:1
I was exceeding glad that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 2 Jn. 1:4
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. 2 Jn. 1:5
And this is charity: That we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: 2 Jn. 1:6
For many seducers are gone out into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a seducer and an antichrist. 2 Jn. 1:7
Look to yourselves, that you lose not the things which you have wrought: but that you may receive a full reward. 2 Jn. 1:8
Whosoever revolteth and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 2 Jn. 1:9
For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works. 2 Jn. 1:11
Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you and speak face to face, that your joy may be full. 2 Jn. 1:12
Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth prosperously. 3 Jn. 1:2
I have no greater grace than this, to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 Jn. 1:4
Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren: and that for strangers, 3 Jn. 1:5
We therefore ought to receive such: that we may be fellow helpers of the truth. 3 Jn. 1:8
For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church. 3 Jn. 1:10
Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil: but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: he that doth evil hath not seen God. 3 Jn. 1:11
To Demetrius, testimony is given by all, and by the truth itself: yea and we also give testimony. And thou knowest that our testimony is true. 3 Jn. 1:12
‡ ¤ Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James: to them that are beloved in God the Father and preserved in Jesus Christ and called. Jude 1:1
I will therefore admonish you, though ye once knew all things, that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, did afterwards destroy them that believed not. Jude 1:5
Who told you that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses. Jude 1:18
Blessed is he that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy: and keepeth those things which are written in it. For the time is at hand. Apoc. 1:3
John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace, from him that is and that was and that is to come: and from the seven spirits which are before his throne: Apoc. 1:4
Behold, he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him: and they also that pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth shall bewail themselves because of him. Even so. Amen. Apoc. 1:7
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks: Apoc. 1:12
I know thy works and thy labour and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them that are evil. And thou hast tried them who say they are apostles and are not: and hast found them liars: Apoc. 2:2
But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaites, which I also hate. Apoc. 2:6
He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of my God. Apoc. 2:7
I know thy tribulation and thy poverty: but thou art rich. And thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Apoc. 2:9
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death: and I will give thee the crown of life. Apoc. 2:10
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: He that shall overcome shall not be hurt by the second death. Apoc. 2:11
And to the angel of the church of Pergamus write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword: Apoc. 2:12
But I have against thee a few things: because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat and to commit fornication. Apoc. 2:14
So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaites. Apoc. 2:15
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches: To him that overcometh I will give the hidden manna and will give him a white counter: and in the counter, a new name written, which no man knoweth but he that receiveth it. Apoc. 2:17
And I gave her a time that she might do penance: and she will not repent of her fornication. Apoc. 2:21
Behold, I will cast her into a bed: and they that commit adultery with her shall be in very great tribulation, except they do penance from their deeds, Apoc. 2:22
And I will kill her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts. And I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say Apoc. 2:23
Yet that which you have, hold fast till I come. Apoc. 2:25
And he that shall overcome and keep my words unto the end, I will give him power over the nations. Apoc. 2:26
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 2:29
¤ And to the angel of the church of Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know thy works, and that thou hast the name of being alive. And thou art dead. Apoc. 3:1
Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God. Apoc. 3:2
He that shall overcome shall thus be clothed in white garments: and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life. And I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. Apoc. 3:5
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 3:6
And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no man shutteth, shutteth and no man openeth: Apoc. 3:7
Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee. Apoc. 3:9
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth. Apoc. 3:10
Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Apoc. 3:11
He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God: and he shall go out 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 cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. Apoc. 3:12
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 3:13
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot. Apoc. 3:15
Because thou sayest: I am rich and made wealthy and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. Apoc. 3:17
I counsel thee to buy of me gold, fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich and mayest be clothed in white garments: and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear. And anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Apoc. 3:18
To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome and am set down with my Father in his throne. Apoc. 3:21
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 3:22
And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Apoc. 4:3
And when those living creatures gave glory and honour and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever: Apoc. 4:9
The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on the throne and adored him that liveth for ever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: Apoc. 4:10
¤ And I saw, in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book, written within and without, sealed with seven seals. Apoc. 5:1
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. Apoc. 5:7
Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power and divinity and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and benediction. Apoc. 5:12
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb, benediction and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever. Apoc. 5:13
And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces and adored him that liveth for ever and ever. Apoc. 5:14
¤ And I saw that the Lamb had opened one of the seven seals: and I heard one of the four living creatures, as it were the voice of thunder, saying: Come and see. Apoc. 6:1
And I saw: and behold a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and there was a crown given him, and he went forth conquering that he might conquer. Apoc. 6:2
And there went out another horse that was red. And to him that sat thereon, it was given that he should take peace from the earth: and that they should kill one another. And a great sword was given to him. Apoc. 6:4
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying: Come and see. And behold a black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand. Apoc. 6:5
And behold a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death. And hell followed him. And power was given to him over the four parts of the earth, to kill with sword, with famine and with death and with the beasts of the earth. Apoc. 6:8
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. Apoc. 6:9
And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (Holy and True), dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Apoc. 6:10
And white robes were given to every one of them one; And it was said to them that they should rest for a little time till their fellow servants and their brethren, who are to be slain even as they, should be filled up. Apoc. 6:11
And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. Apoc. 6:16
¤ After these things, I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that they should not blow upon the earth nor upon the sea nor on any tree. Apoc. 7:1
And I heard the number of them that were signed. An hundred forty-four thousand were signed, of every tribe of the children of Israel. Apoc. 7:4
And one of the ancients answered and said to me: These that are clothed in white robes, who are they? And whence came they? Apoc. 7:13
Therefore, they are before the throne of God: and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell over them. Apoc. 7:15
And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer: and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne of God. Apoc. 8:3
And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it: and the night in like manner. Apoc. 8:12
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads. Apoc. 9:4
And it was given unto them that they should not kill them: but that they should torment them five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man. Apoc. 9:5
And thus I saw the horses in the vision. And they that sat on them had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone. And the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone. Apoc. 9:17
And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk: Apoc. 9:20
And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things which are therein, and the earth and the things which are in it, and the sea and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer. Apoc. 10:6
And I heard a voice from heaven, again speaking to me and saying: Go and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. Apoc. 10:8
And I went to the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book and eat it up. And it shall make thy belly bitter: but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. Apoc. 10:9
¤ And there was given me a reed, like unto a rod. And it was said to me: Arise, and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that adore therein. Apoc. 11:1
These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks that stand before the Lord of the earth. Apoc. 11:4
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: And they have power over waters, to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Apoc. 11:6
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them. Apoc. 11:7
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and make merry: and shall send gifts one to another, because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt upon the earth. Apoc. 11:10
And after three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them. And they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell upon them that saw them. Apoc. 11:11
And at that hour there was made a great earthquake: and the tenth part of the city fell. And there were slain in the earthquake, names of men, seven thousand: and the rest were cast into a fear and gave glory to the God of heaven. Apoc. 11:13
And the nations were angry: and thy wrath is come. And the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great: and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth. Apoc. 11:18
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered: that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. Apoc. 12:4
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her, a thousand two hundred sixty days. Apoc. 12:6
And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth: and his angels were thrown down with him. Apoc. 12:9
Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. Apoc. 12:12
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child. Apoc. 12:13
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert, unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Apoc. 12:14
And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water, as it were a river: that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. Apoc. 12:15
And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven. Apoc. 13:6
And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world. Apoc. 13:8
He that shall lead into captivity shall go into captivity: he that shall kill by the sword must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Apoc. 13:10
And he executed all the power of the former beast in his sight. And he caused the earth and them that dwell therein to adore the first beast, whose wound to death was healed. Apoc. 13:12
And he did great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the earth, in the sight of men. Apoc. 13:13
And he seduced them that dwell on the earth, for the signs which were given him to do in the sight of the beast: saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make the image of the beast which had the wound by the sword and lived. Apoc. 13:14
And it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image of the beast should be slain. Apoc. 13:15
And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Apoc. 13:17
Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six. Apoc. 13:18
And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth and over every nation and tribe and tongue and people: Apoc. 14:6
Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come. And adore ye him that made heaven and earth, the sea and the fountains of waters. Apoc. 14:7
And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Apoc. 14:8
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours. For their works follow them. Apoc. 14:13
And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud: Thrust in thy sickle and reap, because the hour is come to reap. For the harvest of the earth is ripe. Apoc. 14:15

that whosoeuer shal transgresse the law, they be diligently punished either with death, or with torment, or els with a forfeite of money, or with banishment. 3 Esd. 8:27
And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and of his counselers, and freindes, and them that weare purple. 3 Esd. 8:29
And I was made constant in minde according to the ayde of our Lord my God, and gathered together of Israel men, that should goe vp together with me. 3 Esd. 8:30
And these are the princes according to their kindredes, and seueral principalities of them that came vp from Babylon the kingdom of Artaxerxes. (1 Esd. 8:1) 3 Esd. 8:31
And I gathered them together to the riuer that is called Thia, and we camped there three dayes, and vewed them againe. 3 Esd. 8:43
And I sent to Eleazarus, and Eccelon, and Masman, and Maloban, and Enaathan, and Samea, and Ioribum, Nathan, Enuaugam, Zacharias, and Mosolam the leaders them selues, and that were skilful. 3 Esd. 8:45
And I sayd to them that they should come to Loddeus, who was at the place of the treasurie. 3 Esd. 8:46
And I commanded them to say to Loddeus, and his brethren, and to them that were in the treasurie, that they should send vs them that might doe the function of priesthood in the house of the Lord our God. 3 Esd. 8:47
And of them that serued the temple, whom Dauid gaue, and the princes themselues to the ministerie of the Leuites of them that serued the temple, two hundred twentie. Al their names were signified in writings. 3 Esd. 8:50
And I vowed there a fast to the yong men in the sight of God, that I might aske of him a good iourney for vs, and them that were with vs, and for the children, and the cattel because of ambushementes. 3 Esd. 8:51
For we sayd to the king that the power of our Lord wil be with them that seeke him with al affection. 3 Esd. 8:53
And those Priestes and Leuites that receiued the gold and siluer and vessels, brought it to Ierusalem into the temple of our Lord. 3 Esd. 8:61
And they that came out of the captiuitie, offered sacrifice to our Lord the God of Israel, oxen twelue, for al Israel, rammes eightie six, 3 Esd. 8:66
For they are ioyned to their daughters both themselues, and their sonnes: and the holie sede is mingled with the strange nations of the earth, and the rulers and magistrates were partakers of that iniquitie from the beginning of the reigne it self. 3 Esd. 8:71
And now what a great thing is this that mercie hath happened to vs from thee o Lord God, & leaue thou vnto vs a roote, and a name in the place of thy sanctification, 3 Esd. 8:79
saying: That the land into which ye entred to possesse the inheritance therof, is a land polluted with the coinquinations of the strangers of the land, and their vncleanes hath filled it wholy with their filthines. 3 Esd. 8:84
And you shal not seeke to haue peace with them for euer, that growing strong you may eate the best things of the land, and may distribute the inheritance to your children for euer. 3 Esd. 8:86
And the thinges that happen to vs, al are done for our nauhtie workes, and our great sinnes. 3 Esd. 8:87
And thou gauest vs such a roote, and we are returned againe to transgresse thy ordinances, that we would be mingled with the vncleannes of the nations of this land. 3 Esd. 8:88
And when he had cried, Iechonias of Ieheli of the children of Israel, sayd to Esdras: We haue sinned against our Lord, for that we haue taken vnto vs in mariage strange wemen of the nations of the land. 3 Esd. 8:93
And now thou art ouer al Israel, in these therfore let there be an othe from our Lord to expel al our wiues that are of strangers with their children. 3 Esd. 8:94
And there was proclamation made in al Iurie, & in Ierusalem to al that were of the captiuitie gathered in Ierusalem, 3 Esd. 9:3
that whosoeuer shal not appeare with in two or three dayes, according to the iudgement of the ancients sitting vpon it, their goods should be taken away, and himselfe should be iudged an alien from the multitude of the captiuitie. 3 Esd. 9:4
And al were gathered that were of the tribe of Iuda, and of Beniamin within three dayes in Ierusalem: this is the ninth moneth, the twentith day of the moneth. 3 Esd. 9:5
And Esdras rysing vp sayd to them: You haue done vnlawfully taking to you in mariage strang wiues, that you might adde to the sinnes of Israel. 3 Esd. 9:7
Let the rulers of the multitude stand, and that dwel with vs, and as manie as haue with them forreine wiues, 3 Esd. 9:12
And al that were of the captiuitie stood according to al these thinges. 3 Esd. 9:15
And they determined of the men that had outlandish wiues, vntil the newmoone of the first moneth. 3 Esd. 9:17
And there were found of the priestes entermingled that had outlandish wiues. 3 Esd. 9:18
And the Priestes and the Leuites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Ierusalem, and in the whole countrie in the newmoone of the seuenth moneth. And the children of Israel were in their habitations. 3 Esd. 9:37
and they sayd to Esdras the high priest, and reader, that he should bring the law of Moyses, which was deliuered of our Lord the God of Israel. 3 Esd. 9:39
who taught the law of our Lord, and read the same in the multitude, & euerie one preferred them that vnderstood the lesson. 3 Esd. 9:49
And Atharathes sayd to Esdras the high priest and the reader, and to the Leuites, that taught the multitude, 3 Esd. 9:50
And Esdras sayd, departing therfore eate ye al the fattest thinges, & drinke al most swete things, and send giftes to them that haue not. 3 Esd. 9:52
And they went al to eate, and drinke, and make merie, and to geue giftes to them that had not, that they might make merie, for they were excedingly exalted with the wordes that they were taught. 3 Esd. 9:55
Goe, and tel my people their wicked deedes, and their children the iniquities, that they haue done against me, that they may tel their childrens children: 4 Esd. 1:5
Where are the benefites, that I haue geuen you? Did you not crie out to me when you were hungrie in the desert, 4 Esd. 1:17
What shal I doe to thee Iacob? Thou wouldest not obey o Iuda. I wil transferre my self to other nations, and wil geue them my name, that they may keepe my ordinances. (Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 1:24
that you would be my people, and I your God, and to me for children, and I to you for a father? 4 Esd. 1:29
and your children shal not haue issue: because they haue neglected my commandment, and haue done that which is euil before me. 4 Esd. 1:34
I wil deliuer your houses to a people comming, who not hearing me do beleue: to whom I haue not shewed signes, they wil do the thinges that I haue commanded. 4 Esd. 1:35
I cal to witnes the grace of the people comming, whose litle ones reioyce with ioy, not seing me with their carnal eyes, but in spirit beleuing the thinges that I haue sayd. 4 Esd. 1:37
Their mother that bare them, sayth to them: Goe children, because I am a wydow and forsaken. 4 Esd. 2:2
I brought you vp with ioy, & haue lost you with mourning & sorow, because you haue sinned before our Lord your God, & haue done that which is euil before him. 4 Esd. 2:3
And I cal thee o father a witnes vpon the mother of the children, that would not keepe my testament, 4 Esd. 2:5
that thou geue them confusion, & their mother into spoile, that there be no generation of them. 4 Esd. 2:6
whose land lieth in cloddes of pitch, & heapes of ashes: so wil I make them, that haue not heard me, saith our Lord omnipotent. 4 Esd. 2:9
Thus saith our Lord to Esdras: Tel my pople, that I wil geue them the kingdom of Ierusalem, which I ment to geue to Isreal. 4 Esd. 2:10
Goe & you shal receiue. Aske for your selues a few dayes, that they may abide. Now the kingdom is prepared for you, watch ye. 4 Esd. 2:13
The seruantes that I haue geuen thee, none of them shal perish. For I wil require them of thy number. 4 Esd. 2:26
My handes shal couer thee, that thy children see not hel. 4 Esd. 2:29
Remember thy children that sleepe, for I wil bring them out of the sides of the earth, & wil doe mercie with them: because I am merciful, sayth our Lord omnipotent. 4 Esd. 2:31
I Esdras receiued commandment of our Lord, in mount Oreb; that I should goe to Israel: to whom when I came, they refused me, and reiected the commandement of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:33
And therfore, I say vnto you gentiles, which heare, and vnderstand, Looke for your pastor, he wil geue you the rest of eternitie: because he is at hand, that shal come in the end of the world. 4 Esd. 2:34
Receiue the commended gift and be pleasant, geuing thankes to him that called you to the heauenlie kingdomes. 4 Esd. 2:37
Arise, & stand & see the number of them that are signed in the feast of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:38
They that haue transferred them selues from the shadow of the world, haue receiued glorious garmentes of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:39
The number of thy children, which thou didst wish is ful. Desire the powre of our Lord that thy people may be sanctified, which was called from the beginning. 4 Esd. 2:41
Who answering sayd to me: These are they that haue laid of the mortal garment, and taken an immortal, and haue confessed the name of God. Now they are crowned, and receiue palmes. 4 Esd. 2:45
And I sayd to the Angel: That yongman what is he, which putteth the crownes vpon them, and geueth palmes into their handes? 4 Esd. 2:46
And answering he sayd to me: The same is the Sonne of God, whom they did confesse in the world: & I begane to magnifie them, that stood strongly for the name of our Lord. 4 Esd. 2:47
because I saw the desolation of Sion, and the abundance of them that dwelt in Babylon. 4 Esd. 3:2
and sayd: O Lord dominatour thou spakest from the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that alone, and didst rule ouer the people, (Gen. 1) 4 Esd. 3:4
and gauest Adam a dead bodie: but that also was the worke of thy handes, & didst breath into him the spirit of life, and he was made to liue before thee: (Gen. 2:7) 4 Esd. 3:5
And it came to passe, when they began to be multiplied, that dwelt vpon the earth, & multiplied children and peoples and manie nations: and they begane againe to doe impietie more then the former. 4 Esd. 3:12
And thou didst dispose vnto him an euerlasting testament, and toldst him that thou wouldst neuer forsake his seede. And thou gauest him Issac, and to Isaac thou gauest Iacob and Esau. 4 Esd. 3:15
and thy glorie passed foure gates of fire, and of earthquake, and winde, and frost, that thou mightst geue a law to the seede of Iacob, and to the generation of Israel diligence. 4 Esd. 3:19
And thou didst not take away from them a malignant hart, that thy law might bring forth fruite in them. 4 Esd. 3:20
For Adam the first bearing a vicious hart transgressed and was ouercome, yea and al that were borne of him. 4 Esd. 3:21
And it was made a permanent infirmitie, and the law with the hart of the people, with the wickednes of the roote, and that which is good departed, and the wicked remayned. 4 Esd. 3:22
And this was done manie yeares, and they that inhabited the citie forsooke thee, 4 Esd. 3:25
Why, doe they better thinges, that inhabite Babylon? And for this shal she rule ouer Sion? (Jer. 12) 4 Esd. 3:28
It came to passe when I was come hither, and had sene the impieties that can not be numbred: and my soul saw manie offending this thirteth yeare, & my hart was astonied: 4 Esd. 3:29
because I saw how thou bearest with their sinne, and didst spare them that did impiously, and didst destroy thine owne people, and preserue thine enimies, and didst not signifie it. 4 Esd. 3:30
Now therfore wey our iniquities in a ballance, and theirs that dwel in the world: & thy name shal not be found, but in Israel. 4 Esd. 3:34
Or when haue not they sinned in thy sight, that inhabite the earth? or what nation hath so obserued thy commandmentes? 4 Esd. 3:35
¤ AND the Angel answered me, that was sent to me, whose name was Vriel, 4 Esd. 4:1
And I sayd, Speak my Lord. And he sayd to me: Goe, wey me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the winde, or cal me backe the day that is past. 4 Esd. 4:5
And I answered, and sayd: what man borne can doe it, that thou askest me of these thinges? 4 Esd. 4:6
And he sayd to me: Thou canst not know the thinges that are thine which grow together with thee: 4 Esd. 4:10
and said: Come and let vs goe, and make warre against the sea, that it may retyre backe before vs, and we may make vs other woodes. 4 Esd. 4:14
And in like maner the waues of the sea they also deuised a deuise, and sayd: Come let vs goe vp, let vs ouerthrow the woodes of the filde, that there also we may consummate an other countrie for our selues. 4 Esd. 4:15
For as the earth is geuen to the wood, and the sea for the waues therof: so they that inhabite vpon the earth, can vnderstand onlie the thinges that are vpon the earth: and they vpon the heauens, the thinges that are aboue the height of the heauens. 4 Esd. 4:21
And I answered, and sayd: I besech thee Lord, that sense may be geuen me to vnderstand. 4 Esd. 4:22
For I meant not to aske of thy superiour thinges, but of those that passe by vs dayly. For what cause Israel is geuen into reproche to the gentiles, the people whom thou hast loued, is geuen to impious tribes, & the law of our fathers is brought to destruction, & the written ordinances are no where: 4 Esd. 4:23
But what wil he doe to his name that is inuocated vpon vs? and of these thinges I did aske. 4 Esd. 4:25
But conerning the thinges that thou demandest I wil tel thee: for the euil is sowed, and the destruction therof is not yet come. 4 Esd. 4:28
If then that which is sowen be not turned vp, and the place depart where the euil is sowen, that shal not come where the good is sowen. 4 Esd. 4:29
For as she that is: In trauail maketh hast, to escape the necessitie of trauailing: so this also hasteneth to render those thinges which are commended to it. 4 Esd. 4:42
And he sayd to me: Thinke with thyself, as the raine increaseth more then the droppes, and the fire then the smoke: so did the measure that passed, more a bound. But the droppes, and the smoke ouercame: 4 Esd. 4:50
¤ BVT concerning signes: behold the dayes shal come, wherin they that inhabite the earth shal be taken in a great number: and the way of truth shal be hid: and the countrie shal be barren from fayth. 4 Esd. 5:1
And iniustice shal be multiplied aboue that which thy self seest, & aboue that which thou hast heard in time past. (Matt. 24) 4 Esd. 5:2
and he reigne, whom they hope not that inhabite vpon the earth, and soules shal make their flight away. 4 Esd. 5:6
And it shal be in that time, men shal hope, and shal not obtaine: they shal labour, and their wayes shal not haue successe. 4 Esd. 5:12
And I awaked, and my bodie did shiuer excedingly: and my soule laboured, that it fainted: 4 Esd. 5:14
and the Angel that came, that spake in me, held me, and strengthened me, and sette me vpon my feete. 4 Esd. 5:15
Knowest thou not that Isreal is committed to thee in the countrie of their transmigration? 4 Esd. 5:17
and of al created soules, thou hast named thee one doue: and of al beastes that were made, thou hast prouided thee one shepe: 4 Esd. 5:26
And it came to passe, when I had spoken the wordes, and the Angel was sent to me, that came to me before the night past, 4 Esd. 5:31
And I sayd: Speake my Lord. And he sayd to me: Thou art become excedingly in excesse of minde for Israel: hast thou loued it more then him that made it? 4 Esd. 5:33
And he sayd to me: Thou canst not. And I sayd: Why Lord? To what was I borne, or why was not my mothers wombe my graue, that I might not see the labour of Iacob, & the wearines of the stocke of Israel? 4 Esd. 5:35
And he sayd to me: Number me the thinges that are not yet come, and gather me the dispersed droppes, and make me the withered flowers grene againe, 4 Esd. 5:36
and open me the shut cellars, & bring me forth the blastes inclosed in them, shew me the image of a voice: and then wil I shew thee the labour that thou desirest to see. 4 Esd. 5:37
And I sayd: Lord Dominatour, for who is there that can know these thinges, but he that hath not his habitation with men? 4 Esd. 5:38
And I sayd: But behold Lord thou art nigh to them that are nere the end: and what shal they doe that haue bene before me, or we, or they after vs? 4 Esd. 5:41
And I answered, and sayd: Couldst thou not make them that haue bene, and that are, and that shal be, at once, that thou mayst shew thy iudgement the quicker? 4 Esd. 5:43
And he answered me, and sayd: The creature can not hasten aboue the Creatour, nor the world sustayne them that are to be created in it, at once. 4 Esd. 5:44
And I sayd: As thou didst say to thy seruant, that quickening thou didst quicken the creature created by thee at once, and the creature susteined it: it may now also beare them present at once. 4 Esd. 5:45
And he sayd to me: Aske the matrice of a woman, & thou shalt say to it: And if thou bring forth children, why by times? Aske it therfore, that it geue ten at once. 4 Esd. 5:46
And he sayd to me: And I haue geuen a matrice to the earth for them, that are sowen vpon it by time. 4 Esd. 5:48
For as the infant bringeth not forth the thinges that perteyne to the aged, so haue I disposed the world created of me. 4 Esd. 5:49
And he answered me, and sayd: Aske her that beareth children, and she wil tel thee. 4 Esd. 5:51
For thou shalt say to her: Why are not they whom thou hast brought forth, now like to them that were before thee, but lesse of stature? 4 Esd. 5:52
And she also wil say vnto thee: They that are borne in the youth of streingth are of one sort, and they of an other, that are borne about the time of old age, when the matrice fayleth. 4 Esd. 5:53
Consider therfore thou also, that you are of lesse stature, then they that were before you: 4 Esd. 5:54
and they that are after you, of lesser then you, as it were creatures now waxing old, and past the strength of youth. 4 Esd. 5:55
and before the present yeares were searched out, and before their inuentions that now sinne, were put away, and they signed that made fayth their treasure: 4 Esd. 6:5
And I answered, and sayd: What separation of times shal there be? and when shal the end of the former be, and the begynning of that which foloweth? 4 Esd. 6:7
for concerning them the word trembleth and is moued, for it knoweth that their end must be changed. 4 Esd. 6:16
and it sayd: Behold the dayes come, and the time shal be when I wil begyne to approch, that I may visite the inhabitantes vpon the earth. 4 Esd. 6:18
And when I wil begin to enquire of them that vniustly haue hurt with their iniustice, and when the humilitie of Sion shal be accomplished. 4 Esd. 6:19
And when the world shal be ouersigned that shal beginne to passe, I wil doe these signes: Bookes shal be opened before the face of the firmament, and al shal see together, 4 Esd. 6:20
And it shal be in that time, freindes as enimies shal ouerthrow freindes, and the earth shal be afrayd with them: & the vaynes of fountaynes shal stand, and shal not runne in three howres: 4 Esd. 6:24
and it shal be, euerie one that shal be leaft of al these, of whom I haue foretold thee, he shal be saued, and shal see my saluation, & the end of your world. 4 Esd. 6:25
And the men that are receiued, shal see, they that tasted not death from their natiuitie, and the hart of the inhabitantes shal be turned into an other sense. 4 Esd. 6:26
and hasten not with the former times to thinke vayne thinges, that thou hasten not from the last times. 4 Esd. 6:34
And it came to passe after these thinges, and I wept againe, and in like maner I fasted seuen dayes, to accomplish the three weekes, that were told me. 4 Esd. 6:35
And in the second day thou didst create the spirit of the firmament, and commandest it to diuide, and to make a diuision betwen the waters, that a certayn part should depart vpward, and part should remaine beneth. 4 Esd. 6:41
And in the third day thou didst command the waters to be gathered together in the seuenth part of the earth: but sixe partes thou didst drie and preserue, that of them might be seruing before thee thinges sowen of God, and tilled. 4 Esd. 6:42
and didst command them that they should serue man, that should be made. 4 Esd. 6:46
And in the fifth day: thou saydst to the seuenth part, where the water was gathered together, that it should bring forth beastes, and foules, and fishes: and so was it done, 4 Esd. 6:47
the dumme water and without life, the thinges that by Gods appointement were commanded, made beastes, that therby the nations may declare thy meruelous workes. 4 Esd. 6:48
But to Leuiathan thou gauest the seuenth part being moyst, and kepst it, that it might be to deuoure whom thou wilt, and when thou wilt. 4 Esd. 6:52
But the residue of the nations borne of Adam thou saydst that they were nothing, and that they were like to spittle, and as it were the droping out of a vessel thou didst liken the abundance of them. 4 Esd. 6:56
And I sayd: Speake my God. And he sayd to me: The sea is set in a large place, that it might be deepe and wide: 4 Esd. 7:3
but the entrance to it shal be set in a straict place, that it might be like to riuers. 4 Esd. 7:4
The entrance therof narrow, and set in a stepe place, so that on the right hand there was fire, & on the left depe water: 4 Esd. 7:7
and there is one onlie pathe set betwen them, that is, betwen the fire and the water, so that the pathe can not conteyne, but onlie a mans steppe. 4 Esd. 7:8
For I made the world for them: and when Adam transgressed my constitution, that was iudged which was done. 4 Esd. 7:11
If then they that liue entring in enter into these streite and vayne thinges: they can not receiue the thinges that are layd vp. 4 Esd. 7:14
And why hast thou not taken in thy hart that which is to come, but that which is present? 4 Esd. 7:16
I answered, and sayd: Lord dominatour: behold thou hast disposed by thy law that the iust shal inherite these thinges, and the impious shal perish. (Deut. 8) 4 Esd. 7:17
But the iust shal suffer the streites, hoping for the wyde places, for they that haue done impiously, haue both suffered the streites, and shal not see the wide places. 4 Esd. 7:18
And he sayd to me: There is no iudge aboue God, nor that vnderstandeth aboue the Highest. 4 Esd. 7:19
For God commanding commanded them that came, when they came, what doing they should liue, and what obseruing they should not be punished. 4 Esd. 7:21
and proposed to them selues deceites of sinnes, & they sayd to the Highest that he was not, and they knew not his wayes, 4 Esd. 7:23
Behold the time shal come, and it shal be when the signes shal come, which I haue foretold thee, and the bride shal appeare, and appearing she shal be shewed that now is hid with the earth: 4 Esd. 7:26
and euerie one that is deliuered from the foresaid euils, he shal see my meruelous thinges. 4 Esd. 7:27
For my sonne IESVS shal be reueled with them that are with him, and they shal be merie that are leaft in the foure hundred yeares. 4 Esd. 7:28
And it shal be after these yeares, and my sonne CHRIST shal dye: and al men that haue breath, 4 Esd. 7:29
and the world shal be turned into the old silence seuen dayes, as in the former iudgementes, so that none shal be leaft. 4 Esd. 7:30
And it shal be after seuen dayes, and the world shal be raysed vp that yet waketh not, and shal dye corrupted: 4 Esd. 7:31
and the earth shal render the thinges that sleepe in it, & the dust them that dwel in it with silence, and the cellars shal render the soules that are commended to them. 4 Esd. 7:32
And then shall the Most High say to the nations that are raised from the dead, See ye and understand whom ye have denied, or whom ye have not served, or whose commandments ye have despised. 4 Esd. 7:37
Look on this side and on that: here is delight and rest, and there fire and torments. Thus shall he speak unto them in the day of judgement: 4 Esd. 7:38
This is a day that hath neither sun, nor moon, nor stars, 4 Esd. 7:39
neither noon, nor night, nor dawn, neither shining, nor brightness, nor light, save only the splendour of the glory of the Most High, whereby all shall see the things that are set before them: 4 Esd. 7:42
And I answered, I said even then, O Lord, and I say now: Blessed are they that be now alive and keep the statutes ordained of thee. 4 Esd. 7:45
But as touching them for whom my prayer was made, what shall I say? for who is there of them that be alive that hath not sinned, and who of the sons of men that hath not transgressed thy covenant? 4 Esd. 7:46
And now I see, that the world to come shall bring delight to few, but torments unto many. 4 Esd. 7:47
For an evil heart hath grown up in us, which hath led us astray from these statutes, and hath brought us into corruption and into the ways of death, hath shewed us the paths of perdition and removed us far from life; and that, not a few only, but well nigh all that have been created. 4 Esd. 7:48
For whereas thou hast said that the just are not many, but few, and the ungodly abound, hear the answer thereunto. 4 Esd. 7:51
And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, that which is plentiful is of less worth, for that which is more rare is more precious. 4 Esd. 7:58
And he answered me, and said, Weigh within thyself the things that thou hast thought, for he that hath what is hard to get rejoiceth over him that hath what is plentiful. 4 Esd. 7:59
So also is the judgement which I have promised: for I will rejoice over the few that shall be saved, inasmuch as these are they that have made my glory now to prevail, and of whom my name is now named. 4 Esd. 7:60
And I will not grieve over the multitude of them that perish; for these are they that are now like unto vapour, and are become as flame and smoke; they are set on fire and burn hotly, and are quenched. 4 Esd. 7:61
For it were better that the dust itself had been unborn, so that the mind might not have been made therefrom. 4 Esd. 7:63
Let the race of men lament and the beasts of the field be glad; let all that are born lament, but let the fourfooted beasts and the cattle rejoice. 4 Esd. 7:65
For what doth it profit us, that we shall be preserved alive, but yet be afflicted with torment? 4 Esd. 7:67
For all that are born are defiled with iniquities, and are full of sins and laden with offences: 4 Esd. 7:68
And he answered me, and said, When the Most High made the world, and Adam and all them that came of him, he first prepared the judgement and the things that pertain unto the judgement. 4 Esd. 7:70
And now understand from thine own words, for thou hast said that the mind groweth with us. 4 Esd. 7:71
They therefore that dwell upon the earth shall be tormented for this reason, that having understanding they have wrought iniquity, and receiving commandments have not kept them, and having obtained a law they dealt unfaithfully with that which they received. 4 Esd. 7:72
For how great a time hath the Most High been longsuffering with them that inhabit the world, and not for their sakes, but because of the times which he hath foreordained! 4 Esd. 7:74
And he answered me, and said, I will shew thee this also; but join not thyself with them that are scorners, nor number thyself with them that are tormented. 4 Esd. 7:76
For concerning death the teaching is: When the determinate sentence hath gone forth from the Most High that a man should die, as the spirit leaveth the body to return again to him who gave it, it adoreth the glory of the Most High first of all. 4 Esd. 7:78
And if it be one of those that have been scorners and have not kept the way of the Most High, and that have despised his law, and that hate them that fear God, 4 Esd. 7:79
The second way, because they cannot now make a good returning that they may live. 4 Esd. 7:82
The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for them that have believed the covenants of the Most High. 4 Esd. 7:83
In the time that they dwelt therin they painfully served the Most High, and were in jeopardy every hour, that they might keep the law of the lawgiver perfectly. 4 Esd. 7:89
The first order, because they have striven with great labour to overcome the evil thought which was fashioned together with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 4 Esd. 7:92
The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaiteth them. 4 Esd. 7:93
The third order, they see the witness which he that fashioned them beareth concerning them, that while they lived they kept the law which was given them in trust. 4 Esd. 7:94
The fourth order, they understand the rest which, being gathered in their chambers, they now enjoy with great quietness, guarded by angels, and the glory that awaiteth them in the last days. 4 Esd. 7:95
The fifth order, they rejoice, seeing how they have now escaped from that which is corruptible, and how they shall inherit that which is to come, while they see moreover the straitness and the painfulness from which they have been delivered, and the large room which they shall receive with joy and immortality. 4 Esd. 7:96
This is the order of the souls of the just, as from henceforth is announced unto them, and aforesaid are the ways of torture which they that would not give heed shall suffer from henceforth. 4 Esd. 7:99
And I answered and said, Shall time therefore be given unto the souls after they are separated from the bodies, that they may see that whereof thou hast spoken unto me? 4 Esd. 7:100
And he said, Their freedom shall be for seven days, that for seven days they may see the things whereof thou hast been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered together in their habitations. 4 Esd. 7:101
whether fathers for children, or children for parents, or brethren for brethren, or kinsfolk for their next of kin, or friends for them that are most dear. 4 Esd. 7:103
And he answered me, and said, Since thou hast found favour in my sight, I will shew thee this also: The day of judgement is a day of decision, and displayeth unto all the seal of truth; even as now a father sendeth not his son, or a son his father, or a master his slave, or a friend him that is most dear, that in his stead he may be sick, or sleep, or eat, or be healed: 4 Esd. 7:104
so never shall any one pray for another in that day, neither shall one lay a burden on another, for then shall all bear every one his own righteousness or unrighteousness. 4 Esd. 7:105
And I sayd: First Abraham prayed for the Sodomites, and Moyses for the fathers that sinned in the desert. (Gen. 18/ Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 7:106
And they that were after him for Isreal in the dayes of Achaz, and of Samuel, 4 Esd. 7:107
and Dauid for the destruction, and Salomon for them that came vnto the sanctification. (2 Kings 24:17/ 2 Par. 6:13) 4 Esd. 7:108
And Elias for them that receiued raine, and for the dead that he might liue, (3 Kings 17 & 18) 4 Esd. 7:109
For then no man can saue him that hath perished, nor drowne him that hath ouercome. And I answered, 4 Esd. 7:115
and sayd: This is my word the first and the last, that it had bene better not to geue the earth to Adam, or when he had now geuen it, to restraine him that he should not sinne. 4 Esd. 7:116
And that euerlasting hope is foretold vs: but we most wicked are become vayne? 4 Esd. 7:120
And that habitations of health and securitie are reserued for vs, but we haue conuerst naughtely? 4 Esd. 7:121
And that the glorie of the Highest is reserued to protect them that haue slowly conuerst: but we haue walked in most wicked wayes. 4 Esd. 7:122
And that paradise shal be shewed, whose fruite continueth incorrupted, wherin is securitie and remedie: 4 Esd. 7:123
For we did not thinke liuing when we did iniquitie, that we shal beginne after death to suffer. 4 Esd. 7:126
that if he shal be ouercome, he suffer that which thou hast sayd: but if he ouercome he shal receiue that which I say: 4 Esd. 7:128
for this is the life which Moyses spake of when he liued, to the people, saying: Choose vnto thee life, that thou mayst liue. (Deut. 30:19) 4 Esd. 7:129
And I answered, and sayd: I know Lord, that the Highest is called merciful in that, that he hath mercie on them which are not yet come into the world, 4 Esd. 7:132
and that he hath mercie on them which conuerse in his law: 4 Esd. 7:133
and he is long suffering, because he sheweth long sufferance to them that haue sinned, as it were with their owne workes: 4 Esd. 7:134
and of freat mercie, because he multiplieth more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and that are to come. 4 Esd. 7:136
For if he shal not multiplie his mercies, the world shal not be made aliue with them that did inherite it. 4 Esd. 7:137
And he geueth: for if he shal not geue of his bountie, that they may be releeued which haue done iniquitie, the tenth thousand part of men can not be quickned from their iniquities. 4 Esd. 7:138
And the iudge if he shal not forgeue them that are cured with his word, and wype away a multitude of contentions: there should not perhaps be leaft in an innumerable multitiude, but very few. 4 Esd. 7:139
¤ AND he answered me, & sayd: This world the Highest made for manie, but that to come for few. 4 Esd. 8:1
And I wil speake a similitude Esdras before thee. For as thou shalt aske the earth, and it wil tel thee, that it wil geue much more earth wherof earthen worke may be made, but a litle dust wherof gold is made: so also is the act of this present world. 4 Esd. 8:2
And I answered, and sayd: Then o soul swallow vp the sense, and deuoure that which is wise. 4 Esd. 8:4
O Lord if thou wilt not permitte thy seruant, that we pray before thee, and thou geue vs seede to the hart, and tillage to the vnderstanding, wherof may the fruite be made, wherby euerie corrupt person may liue, that shal beare the place of a man? 4 Esd. 8:6
and as now the bodie made in the matrice, and thou doest geue the members, thy creature is preserued in fire & water: and nine monethes thy workemanship doth suffer thy creature that is created in it: 4 Esd. 8:8
and it self that keepeth, and that which is kept, both shal be preserued: and the matrice being preserued rendreth agayne at some time the thinges that are growen in it. 4 Esd. 8:9
For thou hast commanded of the members, that is the brestes to geue milke vnto the fruite of the brestes, 4 Esd. 8:10
that the thing which is made, may be nourished til a certayne time, and afterward thou mayst dispose him to thy mercie. 4 Esd. 8:11
If then thou wilt destroy him that is made with so great labours: it is easie by thy commandment to be ordayned, that also which was made, might be preserued. 4 Esd. 8:14
Therfore wil I begin to pray before thee for me, & for them: because I see our defaultes that inhabite the earth. 4 Esd. 8:17
But I haue heard of the celeritie of the iudge that shal be. 4 Esd. 8:18
Neither doe thou respect the sinnes of thy people, but them that serue thee in truth. 4 Esd. 8:26
Neither doe thou attend the impious endeuours of the nations, but them that with sorowes haue kept thy testimonies. 4 Esd. 8:27
Neither thinke thou of them that in thy sight haue conuerst falsly, but remember them that according to thy wil haue knowen thy feare. 4 Esd. 8:28
Neither be thou willing to destroy them that haue had the maners of beastes: but respect them that haue taught thy law gloriously. 4 Esd. 8:29
Neither haue indignation towards them, which are iudged worse then beastes: but loue them that alwayes haue confidence in thy iustice, and glorie. 4 Esd. 8:30
For what is man, that thou art angrie with him: or the corruptible kinde, that thou art so bitter touching it? 4 Esd. 8:34
For in truth there is no man of them that be borne, which hath not done impiously, and of them that confesse, which haue not sinned. (3 Kings 8:46 / 2 Par. 6:36) 4 Esd. 8:35
For in this shal thy iustice be declared, and thy goodnes, o Lord, when thou shalt haue mercie on them, that haue no substance of good workes. 4 Esd. 8:36
because I wil not in dede thinke vpon the worke of them that haue sinned before death, before the iudgement, before perdition: 4 Esd. 8:38
For as the husbandman soweth vpon the ground manie seedes, and planteth manie plantes, but not al which were sowen in time, are preserued, nor yet al that were planted, shal take roote: so they also that are sowen in the world, shal not al be saued. (Matt. 13 & 20) 4 Esd. 8:41
And he answered me, and sayd: The thinges that are present to them that are present, and that shal be, to them that shal be. 4 Esd. 8:46
because thou hast humbled thyself as becometh thee: & hast not iudged thyself, that among the iust thou maist be very much glorified. 4 Esd. 8:49
For which cause manie miseries, and miserable thinges shal be done to them that inhabite the world in the later dayes: because they haue walked in much pride. 4 Esd. 8:50
But thou for thyselfe vnderstand, & for them that are like vnto thee seeke glorie. 4 Esd. 8:51
Adde not therfore inquiring of the multitude of them that perish. 4 Esd. 8:55
and haue sayd in their hart, that there is no God: and that, knowing that they dye. (Ps. 14 & 53) 4 Esd. 8:58
But they them selues also which are created, haue defyled his name which made them: & haue bene vnkind to him that prepared life. 4 Esd. 8:60
then shalt thou vnderstand, that the same is the time wherin the Highest wil beginne to visite the world that was made by him. 4 Esd. 9:2
then shalt thou vnderstand, that of these spake the Highest, from the dayes that were before thee, from the beginning. 4 Esd. 9:4
For as al that is made in the world hath a beginning, and also a consummation, and the consummation is manifest: 4 Esd. 9:5
And it shal be, euery one that shal be saued, and that can escape by his workes, and by fayth, in which you haue beleeued, 4 Esd. 9:7
And then shal they be in miserie, that now haue abused my wayes: and they that haue reiected them in contempt, shal abide in torments. 4 Esd. 9:9
For they that knew not me, hauing obtained benefits when they liued: 4 Esd. 9:10
and they that loathed my law, when they yet had libertie, 4 Esd. 9:11
I haue spoken hertofore, and now I say, and hereafter wil say: that they are more which perish then that shal be saued: (Matt. 10) 4 Esd. 9:15
And now when I was preparing for them, for these that now are before the world was made, wherin they should dwel: and no man gaynsayd me. 4 Esd. 9:18
And I considered the world, and behold there was danger because of the cogitations that came in it. 4 Esd. 9:20
For they that receiued it, perished, not keeping that which had bene sowen in them. (Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 9:33
And behold it is the custome, that when the earth hath receiued sede, or the sea a shippe, or some vessel meate or drinke: when that shal be destroyed wherin it was sowne, or into the which it was cast: 4 Esd. 9:34
that which was sowne, or cast in, or the thinges that were receiued, are destroyed withal, and the thinges receiued now tarye not with vs: but it is not so done to vs. 4 Esd. 9:35
We in dede that receiued the law, sinning haue perished, and our hart that receiued it: 4 Esd. 9:36
Suffer me my Lord, that I may lament myselfe, & adde sorrow: because I am of a very pensiue mynde, and am humbled exceedingly. 4 Esd. 9:41
And it came to passe, when al were quiet to comfort me, that I might be quiet: and I arose in the night, and fled: and came as thou seest into this field. 4 Esd. 10:3
For aske the earth, and it wil tel thee: that it is she, that ought to lament the fal of so manie thinges that spring vpon it. 4 Esd. 10:9
And who then ought to mourne more, but she that hath lost so great a multitude, rather then thou which art sorie for one? 4 Esd. 10:11
And if thou say vnto me, that my mourning is not lyke the earthes: because I haue lost the fruite of my wombe, which I bare with sorrowes, and brought forth with paynes: 4 Esd. 10:12
as thou hast brought forth with payne, so the earth also geueth her fruite for man from the beginning to him that made her. 4 Esd. 10:14
Now therfore kepe in with thy sorrowe, and beare stoutly the chances that haue befallen thee. 4 Esd. 10:15
Doe not this word, but consent to him that counseleth thee. For how manie are the chances of Sion? Take comfort for the sorrowe of Ierusalem. 4 Esd. 10:20
For thou seest that our sanctification is made desert, and our altar is throwen downe, and our temple is destroyed, 4 Esd. 10:21
and our psalter is humbled, and hymne is silent, and our exultation is dissolued, and the light of our candelsticke is extinguished, and the arke of our testament is taken for spoyle, & our holie thinges are contaminated, and the name that is inuocated vpon vs, is almost prophaned: and our children haue suffred contumelie, and our Priestes are burnt, & our Leuites are gone into captiuitie, & our virgins are defloured, and our wiues haue suffered rape, and our iust men are violently taken, and our litle ones are lost, and our yong men are in bondage, and our valiants are made impotent: 4 Esd. 10:22
and that which is greatest of al, the seale of Sion, because she is vnsealed of her glorie: For she is also deliuered into the handes of them that hate vs. 4 Esd. 10:23
Thou therfore shake of thy great heauines, and lay away from thee the multitude of sorrowes, that the Strong may be propicious to thee agayne, and the Highest wil geue thee rest, rest from thy labours. 4 Esd. 10:24
And it came to passe, when I spake to her, her face did shine suddenly, and her shape, and her visage was made glistering, so that I was afrayde excedingly at her, & thought what this thing should be. 4 Esd. 10:25
And Behold, suddenly she put forth a great sound of a voyce ful of feare, that the earth was moued at the womans sound. And I saw: 4 Esd. 10:26
Where is Vriel the Angel, that from the beginning came to me? for he made me come in multitude in excesse of this minde, and my end is made into corruption, & my prayer into reproch. 4 Esd. 10:28
Because thou hast forsaken me, and I in dede haue done according to thy wordes, & went out into the field: & behold, I haue seene, & doe see that which I cannot vtter. And he sayd to me: 4 Esd. 10:32
Speake thou my Lord in me, forsake me not, that I die not in vaine: 4 Esd. 10:34
because I haue seene thinges that I knew not, & I doe heare thinges that I know not. 4 Esd. 10:35
Now therfore I besech thee, that thou shew vnto thy seruant concerning this trance. And he answered me, & sayd: 4 Esd. 10:37
He hath seene thy right way, that without intermission thou was forrowful for thy people, and didst mourne exceedingly for Sion. 4 Esd. 10:39
And whereas she told thee, that she was barren thirtie yeares: for the which there were thirtie yeares, when there was not yet oblation offered in it. 4 Esd. 10:45
And that which she sayd vnto thee, that she nourished him with labour, this was the habitation in Ierusalem. 4 Esd. 10:47
And wheras she sayd to thee, that my sonne comming into the bryde chamber dyed, and that a fal chanced vnto him, this was the ruine of Ierusalem that is made. 4 Esd. 10:48
And behold, thou hast seene the similitude of her: and because she lamented her sonne, thou beganst to comfort her: and of these thinges that haue chanced, these were to be opened to thee. 4 Esd. 10:49
And now the Highest seeth that thou wast sorie from the hart: and because with thy whole hart thou sufferest for her, he hath shewed thee the clearnes of her glorie, and the fayrenes of her beautie. 4 Esd. 10:50
For therfore did he say to thee, that thou shouldest tarie in a field where house is not built. 4 Esd. 10:51
For I knew that the Highest beganne to shew thee these thinges: 4 Esd. 10:52
therfore I sayd vnto thee, that thou shouldest goe into a field, where is no fundation of building. 4 Esd. 10:53
and the Highest wil shew thee those visions of the thinges on high, which the Highest wil doe to them that inhabite vpon the earth in the later dayes. 4 Esd. 10:59
And I slept that night, and the other next, as he had sayd to me. 4 Esd. 10:60
And I saw, and behold the eagle flew with her winges, and reigned ouer the earth, and ouer them that dwel in it. 4 Esd. 11:5
And I saw, that al thinges vnder heauen were subiect to her, and no man gaynesayd her, no not one of the creature that is vpon the earth. 4 Esd. 11:6
And it came to passe, when it reigned, an end came to it, and the place therof appeared not: and the next rose vp, & reigned, that held much time. 4 Esd. 11:13
And it came to passe, when it reigned, & the end of it also came, that it appeared not as the former. 4 Esd. 11:14
Heare thou that hast held the earth of long time. Thus I tel thee before thou beginne not to appeare. 4 Esd. 11:16
And the third lifted vp it selfe, and held the principalitie as also the former: and that also appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:18
And I saw, and behold in time the rest of the winges were sent vp on the right side, that they also might hold the principalitie: and of them there were that held it, but yet forthwith they appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:20
And I saw, and behold from the six litle winges two were diuided, and they remayned vnder the head, that is on the right side. For foure taried in their place. 4 Esd. 11:24
And they that were second did sooner vanish away then the former. 4 Esd. 11:27
And I saw, and behold the two that remayned, thought with them selues that they also would reigne: 4 Esd. 11:28
And I saw that the two heades were complete with themselues. 4 Esd. 11:30
And behold the head with them that were with him turned, and did eate the two vnderwinges that thought to reigne. 4 Esd. 11:31
And this head terrified al the earth, & ruled in it ouer them that inhabite the earth with much labour, and he that held the dominion of the whole world aboue al the winges that were. 4 Esd. 11:32
And there remained two heads, which reigned also themselues ouer the earth, and ouer them that dwelt therein. 4 Esd. 11:34
And I saw, and behold the head on the right side deuoured that which was on the left. 4 Esd. 11:35
And I saw, & behold as a lion raysed out of the wood roaring: and I saw that he sent out a mans voyce to the eagle. And he spake saying. 4 Esd. 11:37
Is it not thou that hast ouercome of the foure beastes, which I made to reigne in my world, and that by them the end of their times might come? 4 Esd. 11:39
And the fourth coming ouercame al the beastes that were past, and by might held the world with much feare, and al the world with most wicked laboure, and he inhabitied the whole earth so long time with deceipte. 4 Esd. 11:40
For thou hast afflicted the meeke, and hast trubled them that were quiet, and hast loued lyers, & hast destroyed their habitations that did fructifie, and hast ouerthrowen their walles that did not hurt thee. 4 Esd. 11:42
that al the earth may be refreshed, and may returne deliuered from thy violence, and may hope for his iudgement, and mercie that made it. 4 Esd. 11:46
and behold the head that had ouercome, and those foure winges appeared not which passed to him, and were set vp to reigne: and their reigne was smal, and ful of tumult. 4 Esd. 12:2
Behold thou hast geuen me this, in that, that thou searchest the wayes of the Highest. 4 Esd. 12:4
Behold yet I am wearie in minde, and in my spirit I am very feeble, and there is not so much as a litle strength in me for the great feare, that I was afrayd of this night. 4 Esd. 12:5
Now therfore I wil pray the Highest, that he strengthen me euen to the end. 4 Esd. 12:6
strengthen me, and shew vnto me thy seruant the interpretation, and distinction of this horrible vision, that thou mayst comfort my soule most fully. 4 Esd. 12:8
Behold the dayes come, and there shal rise a kingdon vpon the earth, and the feare shal be more terrible then of al the kingdomes that were before it. 4 Esd. 12:13
And the voice that spake which thou heardst, not coming forth of her heads, but from the middes of her bodie, 4 Esd. 12:17
this is the interpretation, that after the time of that kingdom shal rise no smal contentions, and it shal be in danger to fal: and it shal not fal then, but shal be constituted againe according to the beginning therof. 4 Esd. 12:18
and them that dwel in it, with much labour aboue al them that vvere before them. For this cause they are called the heads of the eagle. 4 Esd. 12:24
For these shal be they that shal recapitulate her impieties, and that shal accomplish her last thinges. 4 Esd. 12:25
And wheras thou sawest a greater head not appearing, this is the interpretation therof: that one of them shal dye vpon his bed, and yet with torments. 4 Esd. 12:26
For the two that shal remayne, the sword shal eate them. 4 Esd. 12:27
For the sword of one shal deuoure him that is with him: but yet this also at the last shal fal by the sword. 4 Esd. 12:28
And wheras thou sawest two vnderwings passing ouer the head that is on the right side, 4 Esd. 12:29
For the rest of my people he shal deliuer with miserie, them that are saued vpon my borders, and he shal make them ioyful til the end shal come, the day of iudgment, wherof I haue spoken to thee from the beginning. 4 Esd. 12:34
But doe thou stay here yet other seuen dayes, that there may be shewed thee whatsoeuer shal seme good to the Highest to shew thee. 4 Esd. 12:39
And he departed from me. And it came to passe, when al the people had heard that the seuen dayes were past, and I had not returned into the citie, and al gathered them selues together from the least vnto the greatest: & came to me, & spake to me saying: 4 Esd. 12:40
What haue we sinned to thee, or what haue we done vniustly against thee, that leauing vs thou hast sitten in this place? 4 Esd. 12:41
Or are not the euiles that chance, sufficient for vs? 4 Esd. 12:43
For we are not better then they that dyed there. And they wept with a lowd voice. And I answered them, and sayd: 4 Esd. 12:45
And behold there rose a winde from the sea, that trubled al the waues therof. 4 Esd. 13:2
And I saw, and behold that man grew strong with thousandes of heauen: and when he turned his countenance to consider, al thinges trembled that were sene vnder him: 4 Esd. 13:3
and whersoeuer voyce proceded out of his mouth, al that heard his voices begane to burne, as the earth is quiet when it feeleth the fire. 4 Esd. 13:4
And I saw after these, and behold a multitude of men was gathered together, of whom there was no number, from the foure windes of heauen, to fight against the man that was come vp out of the sea. 4 Esd. 13:5
And after these thinges I saw, and behold al that were gathered to him, to ouerthrowe him, feared exceedingly, yet they were bold to fieght. 4 Esd. 13:8
And behold as he sawe the violence of the multitude that came, he lifted not vp his hand, nor held sword, nor anie warlyke instrument but only as I saw, 4 Esd. 13:9
that he sent forth out of his mouth as it were a blaste of fire, and from his lippes a spirit of flame, & from his tongue he sentforth sparkles & tempests, and al thinges were mingled together with this blast of fire, & spirit of flame, & multitude of tempests. 4 Esd. 13:10
And it fel with violence vpon the multitude, that was prepared to fight, and burned them al, that suddenly there was nothing sene of an innumerable multitude, but only dust, & the sauour of smoke: and I saw, and was afrayd. 4 Esd. 13:11
and there came to him the countenance of manie men some reioycing, and some sorrowing: and some bond, some bringing of them them that were offered. And I was sicke for much feare, and awaked, and sayd. 4 Esd. 13:13
Thou from the beginning hast shewed thy seruant these meruelous thinges, and hast counted me worthie that thou wouldest receiue my petition. 4 Esd. 13:14
For as I thinke in my iudgement, woe to them that were leaft in those dayes: & much more woe to them that were not leaft. 4 Esd. 13:16
For they that were not leaft, were sorrowful. 4 Esd. 13:17
I vnderstand now what thinges are layde vp in the later dayes, and they shal happen to them, yea and to them that are leaft. 4 Esd. 13:18
But yet it is easier, aduenturing to come into it, then to passe, as a cloud from the world, and vow to see the thinges that happen in the later time. And he answered me, and sayd: 4 Esd. 13:20
Both the interpretation of the vision I wil tel thee: and also concerning the thinges that thou hast spoken I wil open to thee. 4 Esd. 13:21
Wheras thou speakest of them that were leaft, this is the interpretation. 4 Esd. 13:22
He that taketh away danger at that time, he hath garded himself. They that haue fallen into danger, these are they that haue workes, and fayth in the Strongest. 4 Esd. 13:23
