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
For whom Rachel said: God hath compared me with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called him Nephthali. Gen. 30:8
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 said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar. Gen. 30:18
And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry; this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon. Gen. 30:20
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
Appoint thy wages which I shall give thee. Gen. 30:28
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands. Gen. 30:29
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
And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing; but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed and keep thy sheep again. Gen. 30:31
And Laban said: I like well what thou demandest. Gen. 30:34
Especially the Lord saying to him: Return into the land of thy fathers and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee. Gen. 31:3
And said to them: I see your father's countenance is not towards me as yesterday and the other day: but the God of my father hath been with me. Gen. 31:5
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 the angel of God said to me in my sleep: Jacob. And I answered: Here I am. Gen. 31:11
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
I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country. Gen. 31:13
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
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
Have I, therefore, been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat: Gen. 31:38
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
Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes. Gen. 31:40
And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times. Gen. 31:41
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
And he said again to Jacob: Behold this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee, Gen. 31:51
Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it thinking harm to me. Gen. 31:52
And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day: Gen. 32:4
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
And Jacob said: O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac: O Lord who saidst to me, Return to thy land, and to the place of thy birth, and I will do well for thee. Gen. 32:9
I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies, and of thy truth which thou hast fulfilled to thy servant. With my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I return with two companies. Gen. 32:10
Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him; lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children. Gen. 32:11
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
And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Gen. 32:26
And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved. Gen. 32:30
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. Gen. 33:8
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself. Gen. 33:9
And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favour in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me, Gen. 33:10
And take the blessing which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother's earnest pressing him, Gen. 33:11
And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey. Gen. 33:12
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
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir. Gen. 33:14
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
Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight, and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give: Gen. 34:11
Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife. Gen. 34:12
And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house shall be destroyed. Gen. 34:30
And said to him: I am God almighty, increase thou and be multiplied. Nations and peoples of nations shall be from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins. Gen. 35:11
And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee. Gen. 35:12
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed. Gen. 37:6
I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about bowed down before my sheaf. Gen. 37:7
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me. Gen. 37:9
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
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered: Gen. 37:13
I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem: Gen. 37:14
But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks. Gen. 37:16
And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain. Gen. 37:17
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? Gen. 37:30
And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, Gen. 37:35
He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give me a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest. Gen. 38:17
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
Juda said: Let her take it to herself, surely she cannot charge us with a lie, I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her. Gen. 38:23
But when she was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying: By the man, to whom these things belong, I am with child. See whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is. Gen. 38:25
But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However he knew her no more. Gen. 38:26
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
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and when I cried out, Gen. 39:14
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. Gen. 39:15
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out. Gen. 39:18
The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine, Gen. 40:9
And the cup of Pharao was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into the cup which I held, and I gave the cup to Pharao. Gen. 40:11
For I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here without any fault was cast into the dungeon. Gen. 40:15
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
Then at length the chief butler remembering, said: I confess my sin: Gen. 41:9
And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet. Gen. 41:13
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
So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river, Gen. 41:17
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 yet gave no mark of their being full: but were as lean and ill-favoured as before. I awoke, and then fell asleep again, Gen. 41:21
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
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
Thou shalt be over my house, and at the commandment of thy mouth all the people shall obey: only in the kingly throne will I be above thee. Gen. 41:40
And again Pharao said to Joseph: Behold, I have appointed thee over the whole land of Egypt. Gen. 41:41
And the king said to Joseph: I am Pharao: without thy commandment no man shall move hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:44
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
He saith, This is it that I said: You are spies. Gen. 42:14
I shall now presently try what you are: by the health of Pharao, you shall not depart hence, until your youngest brother come. Gen. 42:15
And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God. Gen. 42:18
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 Ruben, one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy; and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required. Gen. 42:22
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
And Ruben answered him: Kill my two sons, if I bring him not again to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to thee. Gen. 42:37
I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever. Gen. 43:9
And may my almighty God make him favourable to you: and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children. Gen. 43:14
But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them. Gen. 43:23
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
Then Juda coming nearer, said boldly: I beseech thee, my lord, let thy servant speak a word in thy ears, and be not angry with thy servant: for after Pharao thou art. Gen. 44:18
And thou saidst to thy servants: Bring him hither to me, and I will set my eyes on him. Gen. 44:21
Therefore, if I shall go to thy servant, our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,) Gen. 44:30
Let me be thy proper servant, who took him into my trust, and promised, saying: If I bring him not again, I will be guilty of sin against my father for ever. Gen. 44:32
Therefore I, thy servant, will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren. Gen. 44:33
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
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: Is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear. Gen. 45:3
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. Gen. 45:4
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt. Gen. 45:8
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
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
And he said: It is enough for me if Joseph, my son, be yet living: I will go and see him before I die. Gen. 45:28
He heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am. Gen. 46:2
God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father; fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there. Gen. 46:3
I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes. Gen. 46:4
And the father said to Joseph: Now shall I die with joy, because I have seen thy face, and leave thee alive. Gen. 46:30
And Joseph said to his brethren, and to all his father's house: I will go up, and will tell Pharao, and will say to him: My brethren, and my father's house, that were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me: Gen. 46:31
And he answered them: Bring your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money. Gen. 47:16
And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt. Gen. 47:29
But I will sleep with my fathers, and thou shalt take me away out of this land, and bury me in the burying place of my ancestors. And Joseph answered him: I will do what thou hast commanded. Gen. 47:30
And said: I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession. Gen. 48:4
So thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben and Simeon. Gen. 48:5
For, when I came out of Mesopotamia, Rachel died from me in the land of Chanaan in the very journey, and it was spring time: and I was going to Ephrata, and I buried her near the way of Ephrata, which by another name is called Bethlehem. Gen. 48:7
He answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: Bring them to me, that I may bless them. Gen. 48:9
And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee; moreover God hath shewn me thy seed. Gen. 48:11
But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become a people, and shall be multiplied; but his younger brother shall be greater than he; and his seed shall grow into nations. Gen. 48:19
And he said to Joseph, his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into the land of your fathers. Gen. 48:21
I give thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite with my sword and bow. Gen. 48:22
¤ And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days. Gen. 49:1
Cursed be their fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath, because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Gen. 49:7
I will look for thy salvation, O Lord. Gen. 49:18
And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite, Gen. 49:29
And the time of the mourning being expired, Joseph spoke to the family of Pharao: If I have found favour in your sight, speak in the ears of Pharao: Gen. 50:4
For my father made me swear to him, saying: Behold I die; thou shalt bury me in my sepulchre which I have digged for myself in the land of Chanaan. So I will go up and bury my father, and return. Gen. 50:5
That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practised against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept. Gen. 50:17
Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly. Gen. 50:21
And the child's sister said to her: Shall I go, and call to thee a Hebrew woman, to nurse the babe? Ex. 2:7
And Pharao's daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter. Ex. 2:9
And she adopted him for a son, and called him Moses, saying: Because I took him out of the water. Ex. 2:10
And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao. Ex. 2:22
And Moses said: I will go, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Ex. 3:3
And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am. Ex. 3:4
And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God. Ex. 3:6
And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that are over the works; Ex. 3:7
And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite. Ex. 3:8
For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians. Ex. 3:9
But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. Ex. 3:10
And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? Ex. 3:11

Go and gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I have visited you; and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt. Ex. 3:16
And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with milk and honey. Ex. 3:17
But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a mighty hand. Ex. 3:19
For I will stretch forth my hand, and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go. Ex. 3:20
And I will give favour to this people, in the sight of the Egyptians: and when you go forth, you shall not depart empty: Ex. 3:21

But he said: I beseech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send. Ex. 4:13

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
And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: Dt. 6:6
Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do. Dt. 7:11
If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them? Dt. 7:17
¤ 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
Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day: Dt. 8:11
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
When I went up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which the Lord made with you: and I continued in the mount forty days and nights, neither eating bread, nor drinking water. Dt. 9:9
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 when I came down from the burning mount, and held the two tables of the covenant with both hands, Dt. 9:15
I cast the tables out of my hands, and broke them in your sight. Dt. 9:17
And I fell down before the Lord as before, forty days and nights neither eating bread, nor drinking water, for all your sins, which you had committed against the Lord, and had provoked him to wrath: Dt. 9:18
For I feared his indignation and anger, wherewith being moved against you, he would have destroyed you. And the Lord heard me this time also. Dt. 9:19
And he was exceeding angry against Aaron also, and would have destroyed him, and I prayed in like manner for him. Dt. 9:20
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
And praying, I said: O Lord God, destroy not thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand. Dt. 9:26
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 I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tables of stone like the former, I went up into the mount, having them in my hands. Dt. 10:3
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
And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee. Dt. 10:10
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 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
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
For if you keep the commandments which I command you, and do them, to love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, cleaving unto him, Dt. 11:22
Behold I set forth in your sight this day a blessing and a curse: Dt. 11:26
A blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: Dt. 11:27
A curse, if you obey not the commandments of the Lord your God, but revolt from the way which now I shew you, and walk after strange gods which you know not. Dt. 11:28
See therefore that you fulfil the ceremonies and judgments, which I shall set this day before you. Dt. 11:32
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
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
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
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
Beware lest thou imitate them, after they are destroyed at thy coming in, and lest thou seek after their ceremonies, saying: As these nations have worshipped their gods, so will I also worship. Dt. 12:30
What I command thee, that only do thou to the Lord: neither add any thing, nor diminish. Dt. 12:32
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
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
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
So as to go and serve strange gods, and adore them, the sun and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded: Dt. 17:3
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
As thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and saidst: Let me not hear any more the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see any more this exceeding great fire, lest I die. Dt. 18:16
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
Therefore I command thee, that thou separate three cities at equal distance one from another. Dt. 19:7
(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
And seek occasions to put her away, laying to her charge a very ill name, and say: I took this woman to wife, and going in to her, I found her not a virgin: Dt. 22:14
And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her, Dt. 22:16
He layeth to her charge a very ill name, so as to say: I found not thy daughter a virgin: and behold these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the ancients of the city: Dt. 22:17
Observe diligently that thou incur not the stroke of the leprosy, but thou shalt do whatsoever the priests of the Levitical race shall teach thee, according to what I have commanded them, and fulfil thou it carefully. Dt. 24:8
Remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt, and the Lord thy God delivered thee from thence. Therefore I command thee to do this thing. Dt. 24:18
Remember that thou also wast a bondman in Egypt, and therefore I command thee to do this thing. Dt. 24:22
And they shall cause him to be sent for forthwith, and shall ask him. If he answer: I will not take her to wife: Dt. 25:8
And thou shalt go to the priest that shall be in those days, and say to him: I profess this day before the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land, for which he swore to our fathers, that he would give it us. Dt. 26:3
And therefore now I offer the firstfruits of the land which the Lord hath given me. And thou shalt leave them in the sight of the Lord thy God, adoring the Lord thy God. Dt. 26:10
And thou shalt speak thus in the sight of the Lord thy God: I have taken that which was sanctified out of my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, as thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments nor forgotten thy precepts. Dt. 26:13

Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster: Dt. 27:4
Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee. Dt. 27:10
¤ Now if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to do and keep all his commandments, which I command thee this day, the Lord thy God will make thee higher than all the nations that are on the earth. Dt. 28:1
And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail: and thou shalt be always above, and not beneath: yet so if thou wilt hear the commandments of the Lord thy God which I command thee this day, and keep and do them, Dt. 28:13
But if thou wilt not hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep and to do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day, all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. Dt. 28:15
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
Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths, Dt. 29:14
And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty, Dt. 29:19
¤ Now when all these things shall be come upon thee, the blessing or the curse, which I have set forth before thee, and thou shalt be touched with repentance of thy heart among all the nations, into which the Lord thy God shall have scattered thee, Dt. 30:1
And shalt return to him, and obey his commandments, as I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul: Dt. 30:2
But thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commandments which I command thee this day: Dt. 30:8
This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee: Dt. 30:11
Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil: Dt. 30:15
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

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
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.

Gather unto me all the ancients of your tribes, and your doctors, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and will call heaven and earth to witness against them. Dt. 31:28

I will heap evils upon them, and will spend my arrows among them. Dt. 32:23
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

And behold, Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, he saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples. Judg. 4:22
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
And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage, Judg. 6:8
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 I said: I am the Lord your God, fear not the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell. And you would not hear my voice. Judg. 6:10
And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us out of Egypt but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of Madian. Judg. 6:13
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
He answered, and said: I beseech thee, my lord wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house. Judg. 6:15
And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man. Judg. 6:16
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 depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming. Judg. 6:18
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
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 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 the Lord said to Gedeon: The people are still too many, bring them to the waters, and there I will try them: and of whom I shall say to thee, This shall go with thee, let him go: whom I shall forbid to go, let him return. Judg. 7:4
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
The same night the Lord said to him: Arise, and go down into the camp: because I have delivered them into thy hand. Judg. 7:9
And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent, it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground. Judg. 7:13
And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do. Judg. 7:17
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
The Lord hath delivered into your hands the princes of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: what could I have done like to what you have done? And when he had said this, their spirit was appeased, with which they swelled against him. Judg. 8:3
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
And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert. Judg. 8:7
He said, therefore, to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower. Judg. 8:9
He answered them: They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As the Lord liveth, if you had saved them, I would not kill you. Judg. 8:19
And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you. Judg. 8:23
And he said to them: I desire one request of you: Give me the earlets of your spoils. For the Ismaelites were accustomed to wear golden earlets. Judg. 8:24
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 it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees? Judg. 9:9
And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees? Judg. 9:11
And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees? Judg. 9:13
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
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
The Sidonians also, and Amalec, and Chanaan, oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand? Judg. 10:12
And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more: Judg. 10:13
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
Therefore I do not trespass against thee, but thou wrongest me by declaring an unjust war against me. The Lord be judge, and decide this day, between Israel and the children of Ammon. Judg. 11:27
Whosoever shall first come forth out of the doors of my house, and shall meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, the same will I offer a holocaust to the Lord. Judg. 11:31
And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing. Judg. 11:35
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
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it. Judg. 12:2
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
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not: Judg. 12:5
And when she was come to her husband, she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me: Judg. 13:6
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
She made haste, and ran to her husband: and told him, saying: Behold the man hath appeared to me, whom I saw before. Judg. 13:10
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 the angel of the Lord said to Manue: From all the things I have spoken of to thy wife, let her refrain herself: Judg. 13:13
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 Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee. Judg. 13:15
And the angel answered him: If thou press me I will not eat of thy bread: but if thou wilt offer a holocaust, offer it to the Lord. And Manue knew not it was the angel of the Lord. Judg. 13:16
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife. Judg. 14:2
And Samson said to them: I will propose to you a riddle, which if you declare unto me within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty shirts, and as many coats: Judg. 14:12
So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle, which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother: and how can I tell it to thee? Judg. 14:16
I thought thou hadst hated her, and therefore I gave her to thy friend: but she hath a sister, who is younger and fairer than she, take her to wife instead of her. Judg. 15:2
And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils. Judg. 15:3
But Samson said to them: Although you have done this, yet will I be revenged of you, and then I will be quiet. Judg. 15:7
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 he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses, I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men. Judg. 15:16
And being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised. Judg. 15:18
And Dalila said to Samson: Tell me, I beseech thee, wherein thy greatest strength lieth, and what it is, wherewith if thou wert bound, thou couldst not break loose. Judg. 16:6
And Samson answered her: If I shall be bound with seven cords, made of sinews not yet dry, but still moist, I shall be weak like other men. Judg. 16:7
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
And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? Shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail, fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak. Judg. 16:13
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
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
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
Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him. Blessed be my son by the Lord. Judg. 17:2
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
He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage. Judg. 17:9
And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals. Judg. 17:10
Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites. Judg. 17:13
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 they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here to day, and let us make merry together. Judg. 19:6
But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together. Judg. 19:8
And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there. Judg. 19:11
His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa: Judg. 19:12
And when I shall come thither, we will lodge there, or at least in the city of Rama. Judg. 19:13
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
And the old man went out to them, and said: Do not so, my brethren, do not so wickedly: because this man is come into my lodging, and cease I pray you from this folly. Judg. 19:23
I have a maiden daughter, and this man hath a concubine, I will bring them out to you, and you may humble them, and satisfy your lust: only, I beseech you, commit not this crime against nature on the man. Judg. 19:24
Answered: I came into Gabaa, of Benjamin, with my wife, and there I lodged: Judg. 20:4
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
And I took her and cut her in pieces, and sent the parts into all the borders of your possession: because there never was so heinous a crime, and so great an abomination committed in Israel. Judg. 20:6
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
And Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was over the house. So they consulted the Lord, and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin, our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for to morrow I will deliver them into your hands. Judg. 20:28
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
Return again, my daughters, and go your ways: for I am now spent with age, and not fit for wedlock. Although I might conceive this night, and bear children, Ruth 1:12
If you would wait till they were grown up, and come to man's estate, you would be old women before you marry. Do not so, my daughters, I beseech you: for I am grieved the more for your distress, and the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. Ruth 1:13
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
I went out full and the Lord hath brought me back empty. Why then do you call me Noemi, whom the Lord hath humbled, and the Almighty hath afflicted? Ruth 1:21
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
And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink. Ruth 2:9
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 she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me, and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids. Ruth 2:13
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
She answered: Whatsoever thou shalt command, I will do. Ruth 3:5
And he said to her: Who art thou ? And she answered: I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy coverlet over thy servant, for thou art a near kinsman. Ruth 3:9
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
Neither do I deny myself to be near of kin, but there is another nearer than I. Ruth 3:12
Rest thou this night: and when morning is come, if he will take thee by the right of kindred, all is well: but if he will not, I will undoubtedly take thee, as the Lord liveth: sleep till the morning. Ruth 3:13
And she said: Behold he hath given me six measures of barley: for he said: I will not have thee return empty to thy mother in law. Ruth 3:17
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
He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego. Ruth 4:6
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
And have taken to wife Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing. Ruth 4:10
Then Elcana, her husband, said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? and why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children? 1 Ki. 1:8
And she made a vow, saying: O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a manchild: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head. 1 Ki. 1:11
Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:15
Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now. 1 Ki. 1:16
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
For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him. 1 Ki. 1:27
Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said: 1 Ki. 1:28
¤ My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy salvation. 1 Ki. 2:1
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
And he said to them: Why do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the people? 1 Ki. 2:23
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
And there came a man of God to Heli, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Did I not plainly appear to thy father's house, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharao? 1 Ki. 2:27
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, and burn incense to me, and to wear the ephod before me: and I gave to thy father's house of all the sacrifices of the children of Israel. 1 Ki. 2:28
Why have you kicked away my victims, and my gifts which I commanded to be offered in the temple: and thou hast rather honoured thy sons than me, to eat the firstfruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel? 1 Ki. 2:29
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 I will raise me up a faithful priest, who shall do according to my heart, and my soul and I will build him a faithful house, and he shall walk all days before my anointed. 1 Ki. 2:35
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 the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I. 1 Ki. 3:4
And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept. 1 Ki. 3:5
And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep. 1 Ki. 3:6
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
And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle. 1 Ki. 3:11
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
Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I. 1 Ki. 3:16
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 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 Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you. 1 Ki. 7:5
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
To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me. 1 Ki. 9:16
And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people. 1 Ki. 9:17
And Saul came to Samuel in the midst of the gate, and said: Tell me, I pray thee, where is the house of the seer? 1 Ki. 9:18
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
And Saul answering, said: Am not I a son of Jemini of the least tribe of Israel, and my kindred the last among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then hast thou spoken this word to me? 1 Ki. 9:21
And Samuel said to the cook: Bring the portion which I gave thee, and commanded thee to set it apart by thee. 1 Ki. 9:23
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
When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father, thinking no more of the asses, is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son? 1 Ki. 10:2
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
And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you. 1 Ki. 10:18
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 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 now the king goeth before you: but I am old and greyheaded: and my sons are with you: having then conversed with you from my youth until this day, behold here I am. 1 Ki. 12:2
Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man's ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you. 1 Ki. 12:3
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
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 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 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
I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust. 1 Ki. 13:12
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 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 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
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 he said to all Israel: Be you on one side and I, with Jonathan, my son, will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes. 1 Ki. 14:40
And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die. 1 Ki. 14:43
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
And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart, and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:6
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 was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord. 1 Ki. 15:13
And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear? 1 Ki. 15:14
And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak. 1 Ki. 15:16
And Saul said to Samuel: Yea, I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag, the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain. 1 Ki. 15:20
And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned, because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice. 1 Ki. 15:24
But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord. 1 Ki. 15:25
And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hath rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:26
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 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 Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 1 Ki. 16:2
And thou shalt call Isai to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou art to do, and thou shalt anoint him whom I shall shew to thee. 1 Ki. 16:3
And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Ki. 16:5
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
And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai, the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him. 1 Ki. 16:18
And standing, he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand. 1 Ki. 17:8
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us. 1 Ki. 17:9
And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand. 1 Ki. 17:10
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 David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak? 1 Ki. 17:29
And when he was brought to Saul, he said to him. Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine. 1 Ki. 17:32
And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled, and killed them. 1 Ki. 17:35
For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God? 1 Ki. 17:36
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, 1 Ki. 17:39
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
And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. 1 Ki. 17:44
And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied 1 Ki. 17:45
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
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 said to him: Young man, of what family art thou? And David said: I am the son of thy servant Isai the Bethlehemite. 1 Ki. 17:58
And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him. 1 Ki. 18:17
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 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 the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king's son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability. 1 Ki. 18:23
And Jonathan told David, saying: Saul, my father, seeketh to kill thee: wherefore look to thyself, I beseech thee, in the morning and thou shalt abide in a secret place, and shalt be hid. 1 Ki. 19:2
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art: and I will speak of thee to my father, and whatsoever I shall see, I will tell thee. 1 Ki. 19:3
And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee. 1 Ki. 19:17
¤ 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 Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee. 1 Ki. 20:4
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
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
Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father's mind, to morrow, or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee, 1 Ki. 20:12
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 if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die, 1 Ki. 20:14
And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark. 1 Ki. 20:20
And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows. 1 Ki. 20:21
If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away. 1 Ki. 20:22
And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me forever. 1 Ki. 20:23
And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king's table. 1 Ki. 20:29
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 he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy. 1 Ki. 20:36
And David said to Achimelech, the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. 1 Ki. 21:2
And the priest answered David, saying: I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread, if the young men be clean, especially from women? 1 Ki. 21:4
And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king's business required haste. 1 Ki. 21:8
And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me. 1 Ki. 22:3
And Doeg, the Edomite, who stood by, and was the chief among the servants of Saul, answering, said: I saw the son of Isai, in Nobe, with Achimelech, the son of Achitob, the priest. 1 Ki. 22:9
And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord. 1 Ki. 22:12
Did I begin to day to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father's house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great. 1 Ki. 22:15
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
Therefore David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said to David: Go, and thou shalt smite the Philistines, and shalt save Ceila. 1 Ki. 23:2
Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 1 Ki. 23:4
Fear not: for the hand of my father, Saul, shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; yea and my father knoweth this. 1 Ki. 23:17
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
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
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 he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil. 1 Ki. 24:17
And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand: 1 Ki. 24:20
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
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are? 1 Ki. 25:11
And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold, I will follow after you: but she told not her husband, Nabal. 1 Ki. 25:19
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
And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears, and hear the words of thy servant. 1 Ki. 25:24
Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest. 1 Ki. 25:25
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
David spoke to Achimelech, the Hethite, and Abisai, the son of Sarvia, the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee. 1 Ki. 26:6
And Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear, even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time. 1 Ki. 26:8
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
And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand? 1 Ki. 26:18
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 the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 26:23
¤ 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 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
And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever. 1 Ki. 28:2
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
Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee. 1 Ki. 28:8
And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 1 Ki. 28:11
And the king said to her: Fear not: what hast thou seen? and the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of the earth. 1 Ki. 28:13
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 the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me. 1 Ki. 28:21
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
But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed. 1 Ki. 28:23
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
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey. 1 Ki. 30:8
And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong; or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite: and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago. 1 Ki. 30:13
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
And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel. 2 Ki. 1:3
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
And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I. 2 Ki. 1:7
And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite. 2 Ki. 1:8
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
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 said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord's anointed. 2 Ki. 1:16
I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee. 2 Ki. 1:26
¤ And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? And the Lord said to him: Go up. And David said: Whither shall I go up? And he answered him: Into Hebron. 2 Ki. 2:1
And now the Lord surely will render you mercy and truth, and I also will requite you for this good turn, because you have done this thing. 2 Ki. 2:6
And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am. 2 Ki. 2:20
And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother. 2 Ki. 2:22
Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman? 2 Ki. 3:8
So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him, 2 Ki. 3:9
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
And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me. 2 Ki. 3:13
And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 2 Ki. 3:14
Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies. 2 Ki. 3:18
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 when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 2 Ki. 3:28
And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset. 2 Ki. 3:35
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
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
How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth? 2 Ki. 4:11
And David consulted the Lord, Saying: Shall I go up to the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David: Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 2 Ki. 5:19
And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees. 2 Ki. 5:23
I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaids of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious. 2 Ki. 6:22
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
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 now thus shalt thou speak to my servant David: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I took thee out of the pastures from following the sheep to be ruler over my people Israel: 2 Ki. 7:8
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
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell therein, and shall be disturbed no more: neither shall the children of iniquity afflict them any more as they did before, 2 Ki. 7:10
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 when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 2 Ki. 7:12
He shall build a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Ki. 7:13
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and if he commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. 2 Ki. 7:14
But my mercy I will not take away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before my face. 2 Ki. 7:15
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
Because thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee. 2 Ki. 7:27
¤ 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
Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant. 2 Ki. 9:2
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
And David said to him: Fear not, for I will surely shew thee mercy for Jonathan thy father's sake, and I will restore the lands of Saul thy father, and thou shalt eat bread at my table always. 2 Ki. 9:7
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
And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon, 2 Ki. 10:2
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me, but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee. 2 Ki. 10:11
And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived. 2 Ki. 11:5
And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing. 2 Ki. 11:11
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
And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul, 2 Ki. 12:7
And gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee. 2 Ki. 12:8
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes and give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 2 Ki. 12:11
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun. 2 Ki. 12:12
And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die. 2 Ki. 12:13
And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live? 2 Ki. 12:22
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 Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken. 2 Ki. 12:27
And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Ammon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom. 2 Ki. 13:4
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
For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee. 2 Ki. 13:13
And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant. 2 Ki. 13:24
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
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
And the king said to her: What is the matter with thee? She answered: Alas, I am a widow woman: for my husband is dead. 2 Ki. 14:5
And the king said to the woman: Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 2 Ki. 14:8
Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:15
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 the king said to Joab: Behold I am appeased and have granted thy request: Go therefore and fetch back the boy Absalom. 2 Ki. 14:21
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
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 after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord in Hebron. 2 Ki. 15:7
For thy servant made a vow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem, I will offer sacrifice to the Lord. 2 Ki. 15:8
Yesterday thou camest, and to day shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity. 2 Ki. 15:20
And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle. 2 Ki. 15:25
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
Behold I will lie hid in the plains of the wilderness, till there come word from you to certify me. 2 Ki. 15:28
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
But if thou return into the city, and wilt say to Absalom: I am thy servant, O king: as I have been thy father's servant, so I will be thy servant: thou shalt defeat the counsel of Achitophel. 2 Ki. 15:34
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 Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head. 2 Ki. 16:9
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 Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide. 2 Ki. 16:18
Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king's son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also. 2 Ki. 16:19
¤ And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night. 2 Ki. 17:1
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 I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace. 2 Ki. 17:3
And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them. 2 Ki. 17:15
And sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abisai the son of Sarvia Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ethai, who was of Geth: and the king said to the people: I also will go forth with you. 2 Ki. 18:2
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 one saw this and told Joab, saying: I saw Absalom hanging upon an oak. 2 Ki. 18:10
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 he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:12
Yea and if I should have acted boldly against my own life, this could not have been hid from the king, and wouldst thou have stood by me? 2 Ki. 18:13
And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but I will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak, 2 Ki. 18:14
Now Absalom had reared up for himself, in his lifetime, a pillar, which is in the king's valley: for he said: I have no son, and this shall be the monument of my name. And he called the pillar by his own name, and it is called the hand of Absalom, to this day. 2 Ki. 18:18
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 Joab said to him: Thou shalt not be the messenger this day, but shalt bear tidings another day: this day I will not have thee bear tidings, because the king's son is dead. 2 Ki. 18:20
Then Achimaas the son of Sadoc said to Joab again: Why might not I also run after Chusai? And Joab said to him: Why wilt thou run, my son? thou wilt not be the bearer of good tidings. 2 Ki. 18:22
He answered: But what if I run? And he said to him: Run. Then Achimaas running by a nearer way passed Chusai. 2 Ki. 18:23
The watchman saw another man running, and crying aloud from above, he said: I see another man running alone. And the king said: He also is a good messenger. 2 Ki. 18:26
And the king said: Is the young man Absalom safe? And Achimaas said: I saw a great tumult, O king, when thy servant Joab sent me thy servant: I know nothing else. 2 Ki. 18:29
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
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
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
For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king. 2 Ki. 19:20
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 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
For all of my father's house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king? 2 Ki. 19:28
Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions. 2 Ki. 19:29
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
I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king? 2 Ki. 19:35
I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense. 2 Ki. 19:36
But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee. 2 Ki. 19:37
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
And a wise woman cried out from the city: Hear, hear, and say to Joab: Come near hither, and I will speak with thee. 2 Ki. 20:16
And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear. 2 Ki. 20:17
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
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
God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity. 2 Ki. 22:3
I will call on the Lord who is worthy to be praised: and I shall be saved from my enemies. 2 Ki. 22:4
In my distress I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry to my God: and he will hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come to his ears. 2 Ki. 22:7
And he brought me forth into a large place, he delivered me, because I pleased him. 2 Ki. 22:20
Because I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 2 Ki. 22:22
For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me. 2 Ki. 22:23
And I shall be perfect with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity. 2 Ki. 22:24
For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall. 2 Ki. 22:30
I will pursue after my enemies, and crush them: and will not return again till I consume them. 2 Ki. 22:38
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
My enemies thou hast made to turn their back to me: them that hated me, and I shall destroy them. 2 Ki. 22:41
I shall beat them as small as the dust of the earth: I shall crush them and spread them abroad like the mire of the streets. 2 Ki. 22:43
Thou wilt save me from the contradictions of my people: thou wilt keep me to be the head of the Gentiles: the people which I know not, shall serve me, 2 Ki. 22:44
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. 2 Ki. 22:50
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
But David's heart struck him, after the people were numbered: and David said to the Lord: I have sinned very much in what I have done: but I pray thee, O Lord, to take away the iniquity of thy servant, because I have done exceeding foolishly. 2 Ki. 24:10
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 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 the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee, at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver: 2 Ki. 24:24
And Adonias, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 3 Ki. 1:5
And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words. 3 Ki. 1:14
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
Even as I swore to thee, by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day. 3 Ki. 1:30
And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda. 3 Ki. 1:35
I am going the way of all flesh: take thou courage and shew thyself a man. 3 Ki. 2:2
But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai, the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, thy brother. 3 Ki. 2:7
Thou hast also with thee Semei, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with the sword: 3 Ki. 2:8
And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said: 3 Ki. 2:14
Now therefore, I ask one petition of thee; turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on. 3 Ki. 2:16

And the king said also to Abiathar, the priest: Go to Anathoth, to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured. 3 Ki. 2:26
And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me. 3 Ki. 2:30
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
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 now, O Lord God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David, my father: and I am but a child, and know not how to go out and come in; 3 Ki. 3:7
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 if thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my precepts and my commandments, as thy father walked, I will lengthen thy days. 3 Ki. 3:14
And one of them said: I beseech thee, my lord, I and this woman dwelt in one house, and I was delivered of a child with her in the chamber. 3 Ki. 3:17
And the third day after that I was delivered, she also was delivered; and we were together, and no other person with us in the house; only we two. 3 Ki. 3:18
And rising in the dead time of the night, she took my child from my side, while I, thy handmaid, was asleep, and laid it in her bosom: and laid her dead child in my bosom. 3 Ki. 3:20
And when I rose in the morning, to give my child suck, behold it was dead: but considering him more diligently, when it was clear day, I found that it was not mine which I bore. 3 Ki. 3:21
But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine; but divide it. 3 Ki. 3:26
Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon the throne, in thy place, he shall build a house to my name. 3 Ki. 5:5
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 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me; and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees. 3 Ki. 5:8
My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats, on the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me, and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries to furnish food for my household. 3 Ki. 5:9
As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father. 3 Ki. 6:12
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 3 Ki. 6:13
Building, I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever. 3 Ki. 8:13
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
The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke. And I stand in the room of David, my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 3 Ki. 8:20
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 3 Ki. 8:21
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
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
If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name: 3 Ki. 8:44
And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name: 3 Ki. 8:48
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
And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes, and my heart, shall be there always. 3 Ki. 9:3
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
I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David, thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel. 3 Ki. 9:5
But if you and your children, revolting, shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them: 3 Ki. 9:6
I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people. 3 Ki. 9:7
And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country, 3 Ki. 10:6
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
The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant. 3 Ki. 11:11

Neither will I take away the whole kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen. 3 Ki. 11:13
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 he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes. 3 Ki. 11:31
But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant, David, and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: 3 Ki. 11:32
Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments, and my precepts. 3 Ki. 11:34
But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give thee ten tribes: 3 Ki. 11:35
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 I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever. 3 Ki. 11:39

Ahias heard the sound of her feet, coming in at the door, and said: Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam: why dost thou feign thyself to be another? But I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 3 Ki. 14:6
Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: For as much as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel; 3 Ki. 14:7
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
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
For as much as I have exalted thee out of the dust and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins: 3 Ki. 16:2

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 Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israel? and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this. 2 Par. 25:9
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

And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren, 1 Esd. 8:24
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

‡ ¤ The words of Nehemias the son of Helchias. And it came to pass in the month of Casleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in the castle of Susa, 2 Esd. 1:1
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 when I had heard these words, I sat down, and wept, and mourned for many days: and I fasted, and prayed before the face of the God of heaven. 2 Esd. 1:4
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
Let thy ears be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, night and day, for the children of Israel thy servants: and I confess the sins of the children of Israel, by which they have sinned against thee: I and my father's house have sinned. 2 Esd. 1:6
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
But if you return to me, and keep my commandments, and do them, though you should be led away to the uttermost parts of the world, I will gather you from thence, and bring you back to the place which I have chosen for my name to dwell there. 2 Esd. 1:9
I beseech thee, O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who desire to fear thy name: and direct thy servant this day, and give him mercy before this man. For I was the king's cupbearer. 2 Esd. 1:11
¤ 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 the king said to me: Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou dost not appear to be sick? this is not without cause, but some evil, I know not what, is in thy heart. And I was seized with an exceeding great fear: 2 Esd. 2:2
And I said to the king: O king, live for ever: why should not my countenance be sorrowful, seeing the city of the place of the sepulchres of my fathers is desolate, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire? 2 Esd. 2:3
Then the king said to me: For what dost thou make request? And I prayed to the God of heaven, 2 Esd. 2:4
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 I came to the governors of the country beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. And the king had sent with me captains of soldiers, and horsemen. 2 Esd. 2:9
And I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 2 Esd. 2:11
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
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and before the dragon fountain, and to the dung gate, and I viewed the wall of Jerusalem which was broken down, and the gates thereof which were consumed with fire. 2 Esd. 2:13
And I passed to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's aqueduct, and there was no place for the beast on which I rode to pass. 2 Esd. 2:14
And I went up in the night by the torrent, and viewed the wall, and going back I came to the gate of the valley, and returned. 2 Esd. 2:15
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
Then I said to them: You know the affliction wherein we are, because Jerusalem is desolate, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire: come, and let us build up the walls of Jerusalem, and let us be no longer a reproach. 2 Esd. 2:17
And I shewed them how the hand of my God was good with me, and the king's words, which he had spoken to me, and I said: Let us rise up, and build. And their hands were strengthened in good. 2 Esd. 2:18
And I answered them, and said to them: The God of heaven he helpeth us, and we are his servants: let us rise up and build: but you have no part, nor justice, nor remembrance in Jerusalem. 2 Esd. 2:20
I set the people in the place behind the wall round about in order, with their swords, and spears, and bows. 2 Esd. 4:13
And I looked and rose up: and I said to the chief men and the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: be not afraid of them. Remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives, and your houses. 2 Esd. 4:14
And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another: 2 Esd. 4:19
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 I was exceedingly angry when I heard their cry according to these words. 2 Esd. 5:6
And my heart thought with myself: and I rebuked the nobles and magistrates, and said to them: Do you every one exact usury of your brethren? And I gathered together a great assembly against them, 2 Esd. 5:7
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
And they said: We will restore, and we will require nothing of them: and we will do as thou sayest. And I called the priests and took an oath of them, to do according to what I had said. 2 Esd. 5:12
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
Moreover I built in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered together to the work. 2 Esd. 5:16
And there was prepared for me day by day one ox, and six choice rams, besides fowls, and once in ten days I gave store of divers wines, and many other things: yet I did not require my yearly allowance as governor: for the people were very much impoverished. 2 Esd. 5:18
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
And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you. 2 Esd. 6:3
And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner. 2 Esd. 6:4
And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart. 2 Esd. 6:8
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 went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee. 2 Esd. 6:10
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
¤ Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites: 2 Esd. 7:1
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
And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every man over against his house. 2 Esd. 7:3
But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first and therein it was found written: 2 Esd. 7:5
And I made the princes of Juda go up upon the wall, and I appointed two great choirs to give praise. And they went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate. 2 Esd. 12:31
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
But in all this time I was not in Jerusalem, because in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I went to the king, and after certain days I asked the king: 2 Esd. 13:6
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 it seemed to me exceeding evil. And I cast forth the vessels of the house of Tobias out of the storehouse. 2 Esd. 13:8
And I commanded and they cleansed the storehouses: and I brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense. 2 Esd. 13:9
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
And I pleaded the matter against the magistrates, and said: Why have we forsaken the house of God? And I gathered them together, and I made them to stand in their places. 2 Esd. 13:11
Remember me, O my God, for this thing, and wipe not out my kindnesses, which I have done relating to the house of my God and his ceremonies. 2 Esd. 13:14
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
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 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
And one of the sons of Joiada the son of Eliasib the high priest, was son in law to Sanaballat the Horonite, and I drove him from me. 2 Esd. 13:28
So I separated from them all strangers, and I appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, every man in his ministry: 2 Esd. 13:30
To thee, O Lord, I turn my face, to thee I direct my eyes. Tob. 3:14
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 a husband I consented to take, with thy fear, not with my lust. Tob. 3:18
And either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man, Tob. 3:19
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
¤ Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me. Tob. 5:1
But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth not me, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither. Tob. 5:2
Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it. Tob. 5:3
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 he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana. Tob. 5:8
And Tobias said to him: Stay for me, I beseech thee, till I tell these same things to my father. Tob. 5:9
And Tobias said to him: Canst thou conduct my son to Gabelus at Rages, a city of the Medes? and when thou shalt return, I will pay thee thy hire. Tob. 5:14
And the angel said to him: I will conduct him thither, and bring him back to thee. Tob. 5:15
And Tobias said to him: I pray thee, tell me, of what family, or what tribe art thou? Tob. 5:16
But lest I should make thee uneasy, I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias. Tob. 5:18
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
And the angel said to him: I will lead thy son safe, and bring him to thee again safe. Tob. 5:20
I wish the money for which thou hast sent him, had never been. Tob. 5:24
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
Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish? Tob. 6:7
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
Now I am afraid, lest the same thing should happen to me also: and whereas I am the only child of my parents, I should bring down their old age with sorrow to hell. Tob. 6:15
Then the angel Raphael said to him: Hear me, and I will shew thee who they are, over whom the devil can prevail. Tob. 6:16
Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter. Tob. 7:10
Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight. Tob. 7:13
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
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
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
¤ Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words: Tob. 9:1
If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a worthy return for thy care. Tob. 9:2
However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding. Tob. 9:3
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 indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise. Tob. 9:5
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 Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me and behold I see Tobias my son. Tob. 11:17
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
I discover then the truth unto you, and I will not hide the secret from you. Tob. 12:11
When thou didst pray with tears, and didst bury the dead, and didst leave thy dinner, and hide the dead by day in thy house, and bury them by night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord. Tob. 12:12
For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord. Tob. 12:15
For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye him, and sing praises to him. Tob. 12:18
I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men. Tob. 12:19
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
As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation, Tob. 13:7
And I and my soul will rejoice in him. Tob. 13:9
Happy shall I be if there shall remain of my seed, to see the glory of Jerusalem. Tob. 13:20
For I see that its iniquity will bring it to destruction. Tob. 14:13
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
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 who gavest their wives to be made a prey, and their daughters into captivity: and all their spoils to be divided to the servants, who were zealous with thy zeal: assist, I beseech thee, O Lord God, me a widow. Jud. 9:3
Give me constancy in my mind, that I may despise him: and fortitude that I may overthrow him. Jud. 9:14
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
¤ 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
And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. Jud. 11:2
And I thy handmaid knowing this, am fled from them, and the Lord hath sent me to tell thee these very things. Jud. 11:13
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 because God is angry with them, I am sent to tell these very things to thee. Jud. 11:17
And Judith answered him and said: Now I cannot eat of these things which thou commandest to be given me, lest sin come upon me: but I will eat of the things which I have brought. Jud. 12:2
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 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
And Judith said: I will drink my lord, because my life is magnified this day above all my days. Jud. 12:18
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 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
If it please thee, decree that they may be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents to thy treasurers. Esther 3:9
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
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
Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger. Esther 4:16
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
(For I would willingly and readily for the salvation of Israel have kissed even the steps of his feet,) Esther 13:13
But I feared lest I should transfer the honour of my God to a man, and lest I should adore any one except my God. Esther 13:14
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
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
What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother, fear not. Esther 15:12
She answered: I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty. Esther 15:16
But she answered: If it please the king, I beseech thee to come to me this day, and Aman with thee to the banquet which I have prepared. Esther 5:4
If I have found favour in the king's sight, and if it please the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfil my petition: let the king and Aman come to the banquet which I have prepared them, and to morrow I will open my mind to the king. Esther 5:8
And after this he said: Queen Esther also hath invited no other to the banquet with the king, but me: and with her I am also to dine to morrow with the king: Esther 5:12
And whereas I have all these things, I think I have nothing, so long as I see Mardochai the Jew sitting before the king's gate. Esther 5:13
Then she answered: If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request. Esther 7:3
For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king. Esther 7:4
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
For how can I endure the murdering and slaughter of my people? Esther 8:6
And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman's house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews. Esther 8:7
I remember a dream that I saw, which signified these same things: and nothing thereof hath failed. Esther 10:5
But the two dragons are I and Aman. Esther 10:7
And the Lord said to him: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it. Job 1:7
And the Sabeans rushed in, and took all away, and slew the servants with the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell thee. Job 1:15
And while he was yet speaking, another came, and said: The fire of God fell from heaven, and striking the sheep and the servants, hath consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell thee. Job 1:16
And while he also was yet speaking, there came another, and said: The Chaldeans made three troops, and have fallen upon the camels, and taken them; moreover, they have slain the servants with the sword: and I alone have escaped to tell thee. Job 1:17
A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children, and they are dead: and I alone have escaped to tell thee. Job 1:19

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
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived. Job 3:3
Why did I not die in the womb? why did I not perish when I came out of the belly? Job 3:11
For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep: Job 3:13
Or as a hidden untimely birth, I should not be; or as they that, being conceived, have not seen the light. Job 3:16
Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring: Job 3:24
For the fear which I feared, hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me. Job 3:25
Have I not dissembled? have I not kept silence? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me. Job 3:26
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed? Job 4:7
On the contrary, I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them, Job 4:8
There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice, as it were, of a gentle wind. Job 4:16
I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately. Job 5:3
Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God: Job 5:8
O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance. Job 6:2
Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for? Job 6:8
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
They are confounded, because I have hoped: they are come also even unto me, and are covered with shame. Job 6:20
Did I say: Bring to me, and give me of your substance? Job 6:22
Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and if I have been ignorant of any thing, instruct me. Job 6:24
However, finish what you have begun: give ear and see whether I lie. Job 6:28
Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye. Job 6:29
So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights. Job 7:3
If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall I rise? and again, I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness. Job 7:4
Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more. Job 7:8
Wherefore, I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul. Job 7:11
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison? Job 7:12
If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved, speaking with myself on my couch: Job 7:13
I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing. Job 7:16
I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself? Job 7:20
Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be. Job 7:21
If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not. Job 8:18
Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified, compared with God. Job 9:2
If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart, I shall not understand. Job 9:11
What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him? Job 9:14
I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge. Job 9:15
And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice. Job 9:16
If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked. Job 9:20
Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life. Job 9:21
One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth. Job 9:22
If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow. Job 9:27
I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender. Job 9:28
But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain? Job 9:29
If I be washed, as it were, with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean: Job 9:30
For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment. Job 9:32
I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear. Job 9:35
My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. Job 10:1
I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so? Job 10:2
And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand? Job 10:7
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again. Job 10:9
Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things. Job 10:13
If I have sinned, and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity? Job 10:14
And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery. Job 10:15
Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? O that I had been consumed, that eye might not see me! Job 10:18

For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight. Job 11:4
And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee, Job 11:5

And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men. Job 13:5
Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me. Job 13:13
Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands? Job 13:14

If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just. Job 13:18
Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace? Job 13:19
Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid: Job 13:20
Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me. Job 13:22
But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he? Job 14:10
Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come. Job 14:14
Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand. Job 14:15
Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee. Job 15:6
I will shew thee, hear me: and I will tell thee what I have seen. Job 15:17
I have often heard such things as these: you are all troublesome comforters. Job 16:2
I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul. I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you. Job 16:4
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as sparing you. Job 16:5
But what shall I do? If I speak, my pain will not rest: and if I hold my peace, it will not depart from me. Job 16:6
I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark. Job 16:12
I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes. Job 16:15
These things have I suffered without the iniquity of my hand, when I offered pure prayers to God. Job 16:17
For behold short years pass away, and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return. Job 16:22
I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness. Job 17:2
He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them. Job 17:6
Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man. Job 17:10
They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. Job 17:12
If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. Job 17:13
I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister. Job 17:14
All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest? Job 17:16
For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me. Job 19:4
Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge. Job 19:7
He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness. Job 19:8
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up. Job 19:10
They that dwell in my house, and my maidservants have counted me as a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes. Job 19:15
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth. Job 19:16
My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb. Job 19:17
Even fools despised me, and when I was gone from them, they spoke against me. Job 19:18
They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I loved most is turned against me. Job 19:19
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. Job 19:25
And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see my God. Job 19:26
Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom. Job 19:27
The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me. Job 20:3
This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth, Job 20:4

Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words. Job 21:3
Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled? Job 21:4
As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. Job 21:6
Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against me. Job 21:27
Who will grant me that I might know and find him, and come even to his throne? Job 23:3
I would set judgment before him, and would fill my mouth with complaints. Job 23:4
That I might know the words that he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. Job 23:5
I would not that he should contend with me with much strength, nor overwhelm me with the weight of his greatness. Job 23:6
But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him. Job 23:8

I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it. Job 27:11
Who will grant me, that I might be according to the months past, according to the days in which God kept me? Job 29:2
When his lamp shined over my head, and I walked by his light in darkness? Job 29:3
As I was in the days of my youth, when God was secretly in my tabernacle? Job 29:4
When I washed my feet with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil? Job 29:6
When I went out to the gate of the city, and in the street they prepared me a chair? Job 29:7
Because I had delivered the poor man that cried out; and the fatherless, that had no helper. Job 29:12
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, and I comforted the heart of the widow. Job 29:13

Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: and pined away because of thy enemies? Ps. 139:21
I have hated them with a perfect hatred: and they are become enemies to me. Ps. 139:22

I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor. Ps. 140:12
¤ I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee. Ps. 141:1
Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them. Ps. 141:4
But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul. Ps. 141:8
The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass. Ps. 141:10
¤ I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord. Ps. 142:1
In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble: Ps. 142:2
When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths. In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me. Ps. 142:3
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me. Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul. Ps. 142:4
I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living. Ps. 142:5
Attend to my supplication: for I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Ps. 142:6
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the just wait for me, until thou reward me. Ps. 142:7
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands. Ps. 143:5
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee. Ps. 143:6
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Ps. 143:7
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee. Ps. 143:8
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled: Ps. 143:9
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. Ps. 143:12
My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me. Ps. 144:2
To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee. Ps. 144:9
¤ I will extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. Ps. 145:1
Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever. Ps. 145:2
in my life I will praise the Lord: I will sing to my God as long as I shall be. Put not your trust in princes: Ps. 146:2
Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words. Pr. 1:23
Because I called, and you refused: I stretched out my hand, and there was none that regarded. Pr. 1:24
I also will laugh in your destruction, and will mock when that shall come to you which you feared. Pr. 1:26
Then shall they call upon me, and I will not hear: they shall rise in the morning, and shall not find me: Pr. 1:28
Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and to morrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present. Pr. 3:28
I will give you a good gift, forsake not my law. Pr. 4:2
For I also was my father's son, tender, and as an only son in the sight of my mother: Pr. 4:3
I will shew thee the way of wisdom, I will lead thee by the paths of equity: Pr. 4:11
Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof, Pr. 5:12
I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation. Pr. 5:14
Do, therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend: Pr. 6:3
For I looked out of the window of my house through the lattice, Pr. 7:6
And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man, Pr. 7:7
I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows. Pr. 7:14
Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee. Pr. 7:15
I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt. Pr. 7:16
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Pr. 7:17
O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men. Pr. 8:4
Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things. Pr. 8:6
I, wisdom, dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts. Pr. 8:12
The fear of the Lord hateth evil; I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue. Pr. 8:13
I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me. Pr. 8:17
I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment, Pr. 8:20
That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures. Pr. 8:21
I was set up from eternity, and of old, before the earth was made. Pr. 8:23
The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out. Pr. 8:24
The mountains, with their huge bulk, had not as yet been established: before the hills, I was brought forth: Pr. 8:25
When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law, and compass, he enclosed the depths: Pr. 8:27
I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times; Pr. 8:30
Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you. Pr. 9:5
Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin? Pr. 20:9
Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord, and he will deliver thee. Pr. 20:22
The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets. Pr. 22:13
That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day. Pr. 22:19
Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge: Pr. 22:20
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
And thou shalt say: They have beaten me, but I was not sensible of pain: they drew me, and I felt not: when shall I awake and find wine again? Pr. 23:35
If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works. Pr. 24:12
Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work. Pr. 24:29
I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man: Pr. 24:30
Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction. Pr. 24:32
Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest. Pr. 24:33
So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest. Pr. 26:19
I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me. Pr. 30:2
I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints. Pr. 30:3
Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die. Pr. 30:7
Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God. Pr. 30:9
Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of. Pr. 30:18
Such also is the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil. Pr. 30:20
I Ecclesiastes was king over Israel in Jerusalem, Eccl. 1:12
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
¤ 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
Laughter I counted error: and to mirth I said: Why art thou vainly deceived? Eccl. 2:2
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 made me great works, I built me houses, and planted vineyards, Eccl. 2:4
I made gardens, and orchards, and set them with trees of all kinds, Eccl. 2:5
And I made me ponds of water, to water therewith the wood of the young trees, Eccl. 2:6
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
I heaped together for myself silver and gold, and the wealth of kings, and provinces: I made me singing men, and singing women, and the delights of the sons of men, cups and vessels to serve to pour out wine: Eccl. 2:8
And I surpassed in riches all that were before me in Jerusalem: my wisdom also remained with me. Eccl. 2:9
And whatsoever my eyes desired, I refused them not: and I withheld not my heart from enjoying every pleasure, and delighting itself in the things which I had prepared: and esteemed this my portion, to make use of my own labour. Eccl. 2:10
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
Again I hated all my application wherewith I had earnestly laboured under the sun, being like to have an heir after me, Eccl. 2:18
Whom I know not whether he will be a wise man or a fool, and he shall have rule over all my labours with which I have laboured and been solicitous: and is there anything so vain? Eccl. 2:19
Wherefore I left off and my heart renounced labouring anymore under the sun. Eccl. 2:20
Who shall so feast and abound with delights as I? Eccl. 2:25
I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it. Eccl. 3:10
And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life. Eccl. 3:12
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
I saw under the sun in the place of judgment wickedness, and in the place of justice iniquity. Eccl. 3:16
And I said in my heart: God shall judge both the just and the wicked, and then shall be the time of every thing. Eccl. 3:17
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 praised the dead rather than the living: Eccl. 4:2
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
Considering I found also another vanity under the sun: Eccl. 4:7
There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation. Eccl. 4:8
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
There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner. Eccl. 5:13
¤ There is also another evil, which I have seen under the sun, and that frequent among men: Eccl. 6:1
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
These things also I saw in the days of my vanity: A just man perisheth in his justice, and a wicked man liveth a long time in his wickedness. Eccl. 7:15
I have tried all things in wisdom. I have said: I will be wise: and it departed farther from me, Eccl. 7:23
I have surveyed all things with my mind, to know, and consider, and seek out wisdom and reason: and to know the wickedness of the fool, and the error of the imprudent: Eccl. 7:25
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
Which yet my soul seeketh, and I have not found it. One man among a thousand I have found, a woman among them all I have not found. Eccl. 7:28
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
I observe the mouth of the king, and the commandments of the oath of God. Eccl. 8:2
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
I saw the wicked buried: who also when they were yet living were in the holy place, and were praised in the city as men of just works: but this also is vanity. Eccl. 8:10
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
There is also another vanity, which is done upon the earth. There are just men to whom evils happen, as though they had done the works of the wicked: and there are wicked men, who are as secure as though they had the deeds of the just: but this also I judge most vain. Eccl. 8:14
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
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
This wisdom also I have seen under the sun, and it seemed to me to be very great: Eccl. 9:13
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
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
I have seen servants upon horses: and princes walking on the ground as servants. Eccl. 10:7
I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Cant. 1:5

¤ I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys. Cant. 2:1
As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate. Cant. 2:3

¤ In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not. Cant. 3:1

Cant. 5:1
I sleep, and my heart watcheth: the voice of my beloved knocking: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is full of dew, and my locks of the drops of the nights. Cant. 5:2
I have put off my garment, how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet, how shall I defile them? Cant. 5:3
I arose up to open to my beloved: my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers were full of the choicest myrrh. Cant. 5:5

I to my beloved, and my beloved to me, who feedeth among the lilies. Cant. 6:3
I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the valleys, and to look if the vineyard had flourished, and the pomegranates budded. Cant. 6:11

I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the fruit thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and the odour of thy mouth like apples. Cant. 7:8

Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see if the vineyard flourish, if the flowers be ready to bring forth fruits, if the pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my breasts. Cant. 7:12
The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee. Cant. 7:13
¤ 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

Now what wisdom is, and what was her origin, I will declare: and I will not hide from you the mysteries of God, but will seek her out from the beginning of her birth, and bring the knowledge of her to light, and will not pass over the truth: Wis. 6:24
Neither will I go with consuming envy: for such a man shall not be partaker of wisdom. Wis. 6:25
¤ 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
In the time of ten months I was compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure of sleep concurring. Wis. 7:2
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
I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and with great cares. Wis. 7:4
Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me: Wis. 7:7
And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. Wis. 7:8
Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold, in comparison of her, is as a little sand; and silver, in respect to her, shall be counted as clay. Wis. 7:9
I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out. Wis. 7:10
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
Which I have learned without guile, and communicate without envy, and her riches I hide not. Wis. 7:13
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
And all such things as are hid, and not foreseen, I have learned: for wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me. Wis. 7:21
Her have I loved, and have sought her out from my youth, and have desired to take her for my spouse, and I became a lover of her beauty. Wis. 8:2
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
For her sake I shall have glory among the multitude, and honour with the ancients, though I be young: Wis. 8:10
And I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of the mighty, and the faces of princes shall wonder at me. Wis. 8:11
They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak; and if I talk much, they shall lay their hands on their mouth. Wis. 8:12
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
I shall set the people in order: and nations shall be subject to me. Wis. 8:14
Terrible kings hearing, shall be afraid of me: among the multitude I shall be found good, and valiant in war. Wis. 8:15
When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness, nor her company any tediousness, but joy and gladness. Wis. 8:16
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 I was a witty child, and had received a good soul. Wis. 8:19
And whereas I was more good, I came to a body undefiled. Wis. 8:20
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
For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws. Wis. 9:5
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
So shall my works be acceptable, and I shall govern thy people justly, and shall be worthy of the throne of my father. Wis. 9:12
¤ Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness. Sir. 5:1
And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge. Sir. 5:3
Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder. Sir. 5:4
Say not: God will have respect to the multitude of my gifts, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept my offerings. Sir. 7:11
In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: Sir. 11:19
Say not: What need I, and what good shall I have by this? Sir. 11:25
Say not: I am sufficient for myself: and what shall I be made worse by this? Sir. 11:26
Say not: I shall be hidden from God, and who shall remember me from on high? Sir. 16:16
In such a multitude I shall not be known: for what is my soul in such an immense creation? Sir. 16:17
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
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
I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it. Sir. 22:31
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
Lest my ignorances increase, and my offences be multiplied, and my sins abound, and I fall before my adversaries, and my enemy rejoice over me? Sir. 23:3
Darkness compasseth me about, and the walls cover me, and no man seeth me: whom do I fear? the most High will not remember my sins. Sir. 23:26
I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures: Sir. 24:5
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
I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud. Sir. 24:7
I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea, Sir. 24:8
And in every nation I have had the chief rule: Sir. 24:10
And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord. Sir. 24:11
From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. Sir. 24:14
And so was I established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. Sir. 24:15
And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints. Sir. 24:16
I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree on mount Sion. Sir. 24:17
I was exalted like a palm tree in Cades, and as a rose plant in Jericho: Sir. 24:18
As a fair olive tree in the plains, and as a plane tree by the water in the streets, was I exalted. Sir. 24:19
I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon, and aromatical balm: I yielded a sweet odour like the best myrrh: Sir. 24:20
And I perfumed my dwelling as storax, and galbanum, and onyx, and aloes, and as the frankincense not cut, and my odour is as the purest balm. Sir. 24:21
I have stretched out my branches as the turpentine tree, and my branches are of honour and grace. Sir. 24:22
As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odour: and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. Sir. 24:23
I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. Sir. 24:24
I, wisdom, have poured out rivers. Sir. 24:40
I, like a brook out of a river of a mighty water; I, like a channel of a river, and like an aqueduct, came out of paradise. Sir. 24:41
I said: I will water my garden of plants, and I will water abundantly the fruits of my meadow. Sir. 24:42
For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. Sir. 24:44
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
Three sorts my soul hateth, and I am greatly grieved at their life: Sir. 25:3
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
I have hated many things but not like him, and the Lord will hate him. Sir. 27:27
Give place to the honourable presence of my friends: for I want my house, my brother being to be lodged with me. Sir. 29:33
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
I have seen many things by travelling, and many customs of things. Sir. 34:12
Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God. Sir. 34:13
¤ 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
I will yet meditate that I may declare: for I am filled as with a holy transport. Sir. 39:16
Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and I have meditated, and thought on these things and left them in writing, Sir. 39:38
Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak of. Sir. 41:19
I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works. Sir. 42:15
There are two nations which my soul abhorreth: and the third is no nation: which I hate: Sir. 50:27
¤ A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will give glory to thee, O Lord, O King, and I will praise thee, O God my Saviour. Sir. 51:1
I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me. Sir. 51:2
From the oppression of the flame which surrounded me, and in the midst of the fire I was not burnt. Sir. 51:6
They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none. Sir. 51:10
I remembered thy mercy, O Lord, and thy works, which are from the beginning of the world. Sir. 51:11
Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away. Sir. 51:13
I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my trouble, and in the time of the proud without help. Sir. 51:14
I will praise thy name continually, and will praise it with thanksgiving, and my prayer was heard. Sir. 51:15
Therefore I will give thanks, and praise thee, and bless the name of the Lord. Sir. 51:17
When I was yet young, before I wandered about, I sought for wisdom openly in my prayer. Sir. 51:18
I prayed for her before the temple, and unto the very end I will seek after her, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe. Sir. 51:19
My heart delighted in her, my foot walked in the right way, from my youth up I sought after her. Sir. 51:20
I bowed down my ear a little, and received her. Sir. 51:21
I found much wisdom in myself, and profited much therein. Sir. 51:22
To him that giveth me wisdom, will I give glory. Sir. 51:23
For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded. Sir. 51:24
My soul hath wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed. Sir. 51:25
I stretched forth my hands on high, and I bewailed my ignorance of her. Sir. 51:26
I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her. Sir. 51:27
I possessed my heart with her from the beginning: therefore I shall not be forsaken. Sir. 51:28
My entrails were troubled in seeking her: therefore shall I possess a good possession. Sir. 51:29
The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward: and with it I will praise him. Sir. 51:30
I have opened my mouth, and have spoken: buy her for yourselves without silver, Sir. 51:33
Behold with your eyes how I have laboured a little, and have found much rest to myself. Sir. 51:35

‡ ¤ Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God. Ezec. 1:1
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
Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces. Ezec. 1:15
And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down. Ezec. 1:24
And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about. Ezec. 1:27
¤ 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

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 I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up: Ezec. 2:9
And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book: Ezec. 3:2
And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee, and I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth. Ezec. 3:3
Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads. Ezec. 3:8
I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:9
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 the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place. Ezec. 3:12
The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me. Ezec. 3:14
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
Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 3:20
And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee. Ezec. 3:22
And I rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face. Ezec. 3:23
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 I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days three hundred and ninety days: and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. Ezec. 4:5
And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for a year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee. Ezec. 4:6
Behold I have encompassed thee with bands: and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege. Ezec. 4:8
And the Lord said: So shall the children of Israel eat their bread all filthy among the nations whither I will cast them out. Ezec. 4:13

And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith. Ezec. 4:15
And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress. Ezec. 4:16
A third part thou shalt burn with fire in the midst of the city, according to the fulfilling of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a third part, and cut it in pieces with the knife all round about: and the other third part thou shalt scatter in the wind, and I will draw out the sword after them. Ezec. 5:2
Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries round about her. Ezec. 5:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I myself will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the Gentiles. Ezec. 5:8
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
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy whole remnant into every wind. Ezec. 5:10
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God: Because thou hast violated my sanctuary with all thy offences, and with all thy abominations: I will also break thee in pieces, and my eye shall not spare, and I will not have any pity. Ezec. 5:11
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee: and a third part of thee shall fall by the sword round about thee: and a third part of thee will I scatter into every wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. Ezec. 5:12
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
I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather together famine against you: and I will break among you the staff of bread. Ezec. 5:16
And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 5:17
And say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rocks, and the valleys: Behold, I will bring upon you the sword, and I will destroy your high places. Ezec. 6:3
And I will throw down your altars, and your idols shall be broken in pieces: and I will cast down your slain before your idols. Ezec. 6:4
And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before your idols: and I will scatter your bones round about your altars, Ezec. 6:5
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
Now is an end come upon thee, and I will send my wrath upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways: and I will set all thy abominations against thee. Ezec. 7:3
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
Now very shortly I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I will accomplish my anger in thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy crimes. Ezec. 7:8
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
And they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I have made it an uncleanness to them. Ezec. 7:20
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it. Ezec. 7:21
And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. Ezec. 7:22
And I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they shall possess their sanctuary. Ezec. 7:24
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 I saw, and behold a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins, and downward, fire: and from his loins, and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the appearance of amber. Ezec. 8:2
And behold the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I had seen in the plain. Ezec. 8:4
And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north, and I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry. Ezec. 8:5
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 he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold a hole in the wall. Ezec. 8:7
And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall, and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. Ezec. 8:8
And I went in and saw, and behold every form of creeping things, and of living creatures, the abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were painted on the wall all round about. Ezec. 8:10
Therefore I also will deal with them in my wrath: my eye shall not spare them, neither will I shew mercy: and when they shall cry to my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them. Ezec. 8:18
And the slaughter being ended I was left; and I fell upon my face, and crying, I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, wilt thou then destroy all the remnant of Israel, by pouring out thy fury upon Jerusalem? Ezec. 9:8
Therefore neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have pity: I will requite their way upon their head. Ezec. 9:10
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 there were four wheels by the cherubims: one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was to the sight like the chrysolite stone: Ezec. 10:9
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 as to the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces which I had seen by the river Chobar, and their looks, and the impulse of every one to go straight forward. Ezec. 10:22
¤ And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh towards the rising of the sun: and behold in the entry of the gate five and twenty men: and I saw in the midst of them Jezonias the son of Azur, and Pheltias the son of Banaias, princes of the people. Ezec. 11:1
And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart. Ezec. 11:5
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof. Ezec. 11:7
You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 11:8
And I will cast you out of the midst thereof, and I will deliver you into the hand of the enemies, and I will execute judgments upon you. Ezec. 11:9
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
This shall not be as a caldron to you, and you shall not be as flesh in the midst thereof: I will judge you in the borders of Israel. Ezec. 11:11
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because I have removed them far off among the Gentiles, and because I have scattered them among the countries: I will be to them a little sanctuary in the countries whither they are come. Ezec. 11:16
Therefore speak to them: Thus saith the Lord God: I will gather you from among the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries wherein you are scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. Ezec. 11:17
And I will give them one heart, and will put a new spirit in their bowels: and I will take away the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: Ezec. 11:19
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
But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 11:21
And the spirit lifted me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God: and the vision which I had seen was taken up from me. Ezec. 11:24
And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me. Ezec. 11:25
In their sight thou shalt be carried out upon men's shoulders, thou shalt be carried out in the dark: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign of things to come to the house of Israel. Ezec. 12:6
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: I am a sign of things to come to you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall be removed from their dwellings, and go into captivity. Ezec. 12:11
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die. Ezec. 12:13
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 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
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
For I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 12:25
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
Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken. Ezec. 13:7
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 13:8
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Lo, I will cause a stormy wind to break forth in my indignation, and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger: and great hailstones in my wrath to consume. Ezec. 13:13
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
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
Son of man, these men have placed their uncleannesses in their hearts, and have set up before their face the stumblingblock of their iniquity: and shall I answer when they inquire of me? Ezec. 14:3
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
For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself. Ezec. 14:7
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
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
Son of man, when a land shall sin against me, so as to transgress grievously, I will stretch forth my hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof: and I will send famine upon it, and will destroy man and beast out of it. Ezec. 14:13
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
If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate. Ezec. 14:16
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
And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered. Ezec. 14:18
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
And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice. Ezec. 14:20
For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast, Ezec. 14:21
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As the vine tree among the trees of the forests which I have given to the fire to be consumed, so will I deliver up the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Ezec. 15:6
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
And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 15:8
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
I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman's ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou was naked, and full of confusion. Ezec. 16:7
And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy, and I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine. Ezec. 16:8
And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil. Ezec. 16:9
And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments. Ezec. 16:10
I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck. Ezec. 16:11
And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. Ezec. 16:12
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:14
And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them. Ezec. 16:17
And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:19
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
Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute? Ezec. 16:30
Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness. Ezec. 16:37
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
And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace. Ezec. 16:39
And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more. Ezec. 16:42
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned all thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations. Ezec. 16:43
As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters. Ezec. 16:48
And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen. Ezec. 16:50
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
For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant: Ezec. 16:59
And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant. Ezec. 16:60
And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. Ezec. 16:61
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
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken. Ezec. 17:19
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me. Ezec. 17:20
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
Thus saith the Lord God: I myself will take of the marrow of the high cedar, and will set it: I will crop off a tender twig from the top of the branches thereof, and I will plant it on a mountain high and eminent. Ezec. 17:22
On the high mountains of Israel will I plant it, and it shall shoot forth into branches and shall bear fruit, and it shall become a great cedar: and all birds shall dwell under it, and every fowl shall make its nest under the shadow of the branches thereof. Ezec. 17:23
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
As I live, saith the Lord God, this parable shall be no more to you a proverb in Israel. Ezec. 18:3
I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. Ezec. 18:22
Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin. Ezec. 18:30
For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live. Ezec. 18:32
Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 20:3
And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God: Ezec. 20:5
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
And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Ezec. 20:7
But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. Ezec. 20:8
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
Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert. Ezec. 20:10
And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. Ezec. 20:11
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
But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight. Ezec. 20:14
So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands. Ezec. 20:15
Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert. Ezec. 20:17
And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols: Ezec. 20:18
I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them. Ezec. 20:19
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 their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert. Ezec. 20:21
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
Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries: Ezec. 20:23
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 had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations. Ezec. 20:28
And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day. Ezec. 20:29
And you defile yourselves with all your idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you. Ezec. 20:31
As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. Ezec. 20:33
And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. Ezec. 20:34
And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Ezec. 20:35
As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 20:36
And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant. Ezec. 20:37
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
In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications. Ezec. 20:40
I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. Ezec. 20:41
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 say to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the flame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north. Ezec. 20:47
And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched. Ezec. 20:48
And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables? Ezec. 20:49
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off in thee the just, and the wicked. Ezec. 21:3
And forasmuch as I have cut off in thee the just and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh, from the south even to the north. Ezec. 21:4
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
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
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
And I will clap my hands together, and will satisfy my indignation: I the Lord have spoken. Ezec. 21:17
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have remembered your iniquity, and have discovered your prevarications, and your sins have appeared in all your devices: because, I say, You have remembered, you shall be taken with the hand. Ezec. 21:24
I will shew it to be iniquity, iniquity, iniquity: but this was not done till he came to whom judgment belongeth, and I will give it him. Ezec. 21:27
Return into thy sheath. I will judge thee in the place wherein thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity. Ezec. 21:30
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
Thou shalt be fuel for the fire, thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be forgotten: for I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 21:32
Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries. Ezec. 22:4
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
Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail in the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it. Ezec. 22:14
And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee. Ezec. 22:15
And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 22:16
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dross, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem. Ezec. 22:19
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
And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof. Ezec. 22:21
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
Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them. Ezec. 22:26
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 poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 22:31
And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba. Ezec. 23:4
Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted. Ezec. 23:9
And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way. Ezec. 23:13
Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about. Ezec. 23:22
And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments. Ezec. 23:24
And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire. Ezec. 23:25
And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more. Ezec. 23:27
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted. Ezec. 23:28
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister and I will give her cup into thy hand. Ezec. 23:31
And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 23:34
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 I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them. Ezec. 23:48
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
And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I say, and put water in it. Ezec. 24:3
And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should not be covered. Ezec. 24:8
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of which I will make a great bonfire. Ezec. 24:9
Heap together the bones, which I will burn with fire: the flesh shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the bones shall be consumed. Ezec. 24:10
Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee, and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee. Ezec. 24:13
I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord. Ezec. 24:14
Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a stroke, and thou shall not lament, nor weep; neither shall thy tears run down. Ezec. 24:16
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me. Ezec. 24:18
And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying: Ezec. 24:20
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 you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces, nor shall you eat the meat of mourners. Ezec. 24:22
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
And thou, O son of man, behold in the day wherein I will take away from them their strength, and the joy of their glory, and the desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest, their sons and their daughters. Ezec. 24:25
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
Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk. Ezec. 25:4
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
Therefore behold I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee to be the spoil of nations, and will cut thee off from among the people, and destroy thee out of the lands, and break thee in pieces: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 25:7
Therefore behold I will open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from his cities, I say, and his borders, the noble cities of the land of Bethiesimoth, and Beelmeon, and Cariathaim, Ezec. 25:9
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 I will execute judgments in Moab: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 25:11
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I will stretch forth my hand upon Edom, and will take away out of it man and beast, and will make it desolate from the south: and they that are in Dedan shall fall by the sword. Ezec. 25:13
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my wrath, and my fury: and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 25:14
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will stretch forth my hand upon the Philistines, and will kill the killers, and will destroy the remnant of the sea coast. Ezec. 25:16
And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them. Ezec. 25:17
Son of man, because Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, the gates of the people are broken, she is turned to me: I shall be filled, now she is laid waste. Ezec. 26:2
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up to thee, as the waves of the sea rise up. Ezec. 26:3
And they shall break down the walls of Tyre, and destroy the towers thereof: and I will scrape her dust from her, and make her like a smooth rock. Ezec. 26:4
She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of the sea, because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil to the nations. Ezec. 26:5
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
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring against Tyre Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people. Ezec. 26:7
And I will make the multitude of thy songs to cease, and the sound of thy harps shall be heard no more. Ezec. 26:13
And I will make thee like a naked rock, thou shalt be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 26:14
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
I will bring thee to nothing, and thou shalt not be, and if thou be sought for, thou shalt not be found any more for ever, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 26:21
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
Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am God, and I sit in the chair of God in the heart of the sea: whereas thou art a man, and not God: and hast set thy heart as if it were the heart of God. Ezec. 28:2
Therefore behold, I will bring upon thee strangers: the strongest of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty. Ezec. 28:7
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 shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 28:10
Thou a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set thee in the holy mountain of God, thou hast walked in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezec. 28:14
By the multitude of thy merchandise, thy inner parts were filled with iniquity, and thou hast sinned: and I cast thee out from the mountain of God, and destroyed thee, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire. Ezec. 28:16
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
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
Thus saith the Lord God: When I shall have gathered together the house of Israel out of the people among whom they are scattered: I will be sanctified in them before the Gentiles: and they shall dwell in their own land, which I gave to my servant Jacob. Ezec. 28:25
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
But I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all thy fish shall stick to thy scales. Ezec. 29:4
And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be taken up, nor gathered together: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the air. Ezec. 29:5
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee: and cut off man and beast out of thee. Ezec. 29:8
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
Therefore, behold I come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia. Ezec. 29:10
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
For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered. Ezec. 29:13
And I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there a low kingdom: Ezec. 29:14
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
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army. Ezec. 29:19
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
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
Thus saith the Lord God: I will make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon. Ezec. 30:10
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
Thus saith the Lord God: I will also destroy the idols, and I will make an end of the idols of Memphis: and there shall: be no more a prince of the land of Egypt and I will cause a terror in the land of Egypt. Ezec. 30:13
And I will destroy the land of Phatures, and will make a fire in Taphnis, and will execute judgments in Alexandria. Ezec. 30:14
And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium the strength of Egypt, and will cut off the multitude of Alexandria. Ezec. 30:15
And I will make a fire in Egypt: Pelusium shall be in pain like a woman in labour, and Alexandria shall be laid waste, and in Memphis there shall be daily distresses. Ezec. 30:16
And in Taphnis the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the sceptres of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall be led into captivity. Ezec. 30:18
And I will execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 30:19
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
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against Pharao king of Egypt, and I will break into pieces his strong arm, which is already broken: and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand: Ezec. 30:22
And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and scatter them through the countries. Ezec. 30:23
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and will put my sword in his hand: and I will break the arms of Pharao, and they shall groan bitterly being slain before his face. Ezec. 30:24
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
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
I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness. Ezec. 31:11
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. Ezec. 31:15
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
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: I will spread out my net over thee with the multitude of many people, and I will draw thee up in my net. Ezec. 32:3
And I will throw thee out on the land, I will cast thee away into the open field and I will cause all the fowls of the air to dwell upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of all the earth with thee. Ezec. 32:4
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and will fill thy hills with thy corruption, Ezec. 32:5
And I will water the earth with thy stinking blood upon the mountains, and the valleys shall be filled with thee. Ezec. 32:6
And I will cover the heavens, when thou shalt be put out, and I will make the stars thereof dark: I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. Ezec. 32:7
I will make all the lights of heaven to mourn over thee and I will cause darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God, when thy wounded shall fall in the midst of the land, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 32:8
And I shall provoke to anger the heart of many people, when I shall have brought in thy destruction among the nations upon the lands, which thou knowest not. Ezec. 32:9
And I will make many people to be amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when my sword shall begin to fly upon their faces: and they shall be astonished on a sudden, every one for his own life, in the day of their ruin. Ezec. 32:10
By the swords of the mighty I will overthrow thy multitude: all these nations are invincible: and they shall waste the pride of Egypt, and the multitude thereof shall be destroyed. Ezec. 32:12
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
Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God: Ezec. 32:14
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
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
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them: Ezec. 33:2
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman. Ezec. 33:6
So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me. Ezec. 33:7
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
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 I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice, Ezec. 33:14
And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel. Ezec. 33:20
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
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 I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them, Ezec. 33:28
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
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 I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks: Ezec. 34:8
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them. Ezec. 34:10
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them. Ezec. 34:11
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
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land. Ezec. 34:13
I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel. Ezec. 34:14
I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 34:15
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 as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats. Ezec. 34:17
Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean. Ezec. 34:20
I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle. Ezec. 34:22
And I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. Ezec. 34:23
And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 34:24
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 I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing. Ezec. 34:26
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 I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles. Ezec. 34:29
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
And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 34:31
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste. Ezec. 35:3
I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 35:4
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee. Ezec. 35:6
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
Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there. Ezec. 35:10
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee. Ezec. 35:11
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
And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them. Ezec. 35:13
Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness. Ezec. 35:14
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 thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste. Ezec. 36:5
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles. Ezec. 36:6
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
For lo, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown. Ezec. 36:9
And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired. Ezec. 36:10
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
And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them. Ezec. 36:12
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 36:15
And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it. Ezec. 36:18
And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices. Ezec. 36:19
And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in. Ezec. 36:21
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
For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. Ezec. 36:24
And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols. Ezec. 36:25
And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. Ezec. 36:26
And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them. Ezec. 36:27
And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. Ezec. 36:28
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you. Ezec. 36:29
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
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 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
And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest. Ezec. 37:3
Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live. Ezec. 37:5
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 I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one, to its joint. Ezec. 37:7
And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them. Ezec. 37:8
And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Ezec. 37:10
Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel. Ezec. 37:12
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 thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from the midst of the nations whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will bring them to their own land. Ezec. 37:21
And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two kingdoms. Ezec. 37:22
Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. Ezec. 37:23
And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. Ezec. 37:25
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. Ezec. 37:26
And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Ezec. 37:27
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
And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal. Ezec. 38:3
And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and all thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords. Ezec. 38:4
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
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 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
And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his brother. Ezec. 38:21
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
¤ And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal. Ezec. 39:1
And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel. Ezec. 39:2
And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Ezec. 39:3
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
Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:5
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
Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken. Ezec. 39:8
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 all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:13
And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood. Ezec. 39:17
And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you. Ezec. 39:19
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
I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them. Ezec. 39:24
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel and I will be jealous for my holy name. Ezec. 39:25
And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations. Ezec. 39:27
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 I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:29
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 I saw in the house the height round about, the foundations of the side chambers which were the measure of a reed the space of six cubits: Ezec. 41:8
And I saw the vision according to the appearance which I had seen when he came to destroy the city: and the appearance was according to the vision which I had seen by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face. Ezec. 43:3
And I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and the man that stood by me, Ezec. 43:6
Said to me: Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever: and the house of Israel shall no more profane my holy name, they and their kings by their fornications, and by the carcasses of their kings, and by the high places. Ezec. 43:7
They who have set their threshold by my threshold, and their posts by my posts: and there was but a wall between me, and them: and they profaned my holy name by the abominations which they committed: for which reason I consumed them in my wrath. Ezec. 43:8
Now therefore let them put away their fornications, and the carcasses of their kings far from me: and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. Ezec. 43:9
And the days being expired, on the eighth day and thenceforward, the priests shall offer your holocausts upon the altar, and the peace offerings: and I will be pacified towards you, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 43:27
And he brought me by the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house: and I saw, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell on my face. Ezec. 44:4
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
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and were a stumblingblock of iniquity to the house of Israel: therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity: Ezec. 44:12
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
And they shall have no inheritance, I am their inheritance: neither shall you give them any possession in Israel, for I am their possession. Ezec. 44:28
And he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the loins. And he measured a thousand, and it was a torrent, which I could not pass over: for the waters were risen so as to make a deep torrent, which could not be passed over. Ezec. 47:5
And when I had turned myself, behold on the bank of the torrent were very many trees on both sides. Ezec. 47:7
And you shall possess it, every man in like manner as his brother: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for a possession. Ezec. 47:14
And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord, the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths, your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king. Dan. 1:10
Try, I beseech thee, thy servants for ten days, and let pulse be given us to eat, and water to drink: Dan. 1:12
And the king said to them: I saw a dream: and being troubled in mind I know not what I saw. Dan. 2:3
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
To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us the king's discourse. Dan. 2:23
After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king. Dan. 2:24
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
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
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
Susanna sighed, and said: I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands. Dan. 13:22
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
And he cried out with a loud voice: I am clear from the blood of this woman. Dan. 13:46
And Daniel said to the people: Separate these two far from one another, and I will examine them. Dan. 13:51
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
He answered, and said: Behold, I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the son of God. Dan. 3:25
I, Nabuchodonosor, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace: Dan. 4:4
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
Then came in the diviners, the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them: but they did not shew me the interpretation thereof. Dan. 4:7
Till their colleague, Daniel, came in before me, whose name is Baltassar, according to the name of my god, who hath in him the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him. Dan. 4:8
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
This was the vision of my head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was exceeding great. Dan. 4:10
I saw in the vision of my head upon my bed, and behold a watcher, and a holy one came down from heaven. Dan. 4:13
I, king Nabuchodonosor, saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Dan. 4:18
And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built, to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence? Dan. 4:30
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
At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates, sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me. Dan. 4:36
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
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
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
To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof. Dan. 5:17
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea, and before thee, O king, I have done no offence. Dan. 6:22
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 said: I see the footsteps of men, and women, and children. And the king was angry. Dan. 14:19
And Daniel said: I adore the Lord, my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god. Dan. 14:24
But give me leave, O king, and I will kill this dragon without sword or club. And the king said, I give thee leave. Dan. 14:25
And Habacuc said: Lord, I never saw Babylon, nor do I know the den. Dan. 14:34
I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. Dan. 7:2
The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her. Dan. 7:4
After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings, as of a fowl, and the beast had four heads, and power was given to it. Dan. 7:6
After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns. Dan. 7:7
I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things. Dan. 7:8
I beheld till thrones were placed, and the ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. Dan. 7:9
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
I beheld, therefore, in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the ancient of days: and they presented him before him. Dan. 7:13
My spirit trembled; I, Daniel, was affrighted at these things, and the visions of my head troubled me. Dan. 7:15
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
After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet: Dan. 7:19
I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them, Dan. 7:21
Hitherto is the end of the word. I, Daniel, was much troubled with my thoughts, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the word in my heart. Dan. 7:28
¤ In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I, Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning, Dan. 8:1
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 I lifted up my eyes, and saw: and behold a ram stood before the water, having two high horns, and one higher than the other, and growing up. Afterward Dan. 8:3
I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great. Dan. 8:4
And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes. Dan. 8:5
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 I heard the voice of a man between Ulai: and he called, and said: Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. Dan. 8:16
And he came, and stood near where I stood: and when he was come, I fell on my face, trembling, and he said to me: Understand, O son of man, for in the time of the end the vision shall be fulfilled. Dan. 8:17
And when he spoke to me, I fell flat on the ground: and he touched me, and set me upright. Dan. 8:18
And he said to me: I will shew thee what things are to come to pass in the end of the malediction: for the time hath its end. Dan. 8:19
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 set my face to the Lord, my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. Dan. 9:3
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
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
Now while I was yet speaking, and praying, and confessing my sins, and the sins of my people of Israel, and presenting my supplications in the sight of my God, for the holy mountain of my God: Dan. 9:20
As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly, touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice. Dan. 9:21
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
From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore, do thou mark the word, and understand the vision. Dan. 9:23
In those days I, Daniel, mourned the days of three weeks. Dan. 10:2
I ate no desirable bread, and neither flesh, nor wine, entered into my mouth, neither was I anointed with ointment: till the days of three weeks were accomplished. Dan. 10:3
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, I was by the great river, which is the Tigris. Dan. 10:4
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold: Dan. 10:5
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 I, being left alone, saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength. Dan. 10:8
And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard I lay in a consternation upon my face, and my face was close to the ground. Dan. 10:9
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 he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give thee. Lk. 11:7
Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. Lk. 11:8
And I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. Lk. 11:9
And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils. Lk. 11:18
Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. Lk. 11:19
But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you. Lk. 11:20
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. Lk. 11:24

From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea I say to you: It shall be required of this generation. Lk. 11:51
And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. Lk. 12:4
But I will shew you whom you shall fear: Fear ye him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you: Fear him. Lk. 12:5
And I say to you: Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God. Lk. 12:8
And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? Lk. 12:17
And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me and my goods. Lk. 12:18
And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years. Take thy rest: eat, drink, make good cheer. Lk. 12:19
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you: Be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Lk. 12:22

And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and I find none. Cut it down therefore. Why cumbereth it the ground? Lk. 13:7
But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it. Lk. 13:8
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it? Lk. 13:18
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like? Lk. 13:20
Strive to enter by the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter and shall not be able. Lk. 13:24
But when the master of the house shall be gone in and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without; and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. Lk. 13:25

Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you that you shall not see me till the time come when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Lk. 13:35
And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm and I must needs go out and see it. I pray thee, hold me excused. Lk. 14:18
And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen and I go to try them. I pray thee, hold me excused. Lk. 14:19
And another said: I have married a wife; and therefore I cannot come. Lk. 14:20
But I say unto you that none of those men that were invited shall taste of my supper. Lk. 14:24
And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost? Lk. 15:6
I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance. Lk. 15:7
And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost. Lk. 15:9
So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance. Lk. 15:10
And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger! Lk. 15:17
I will arise and will go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee. Lk. 15:18
I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. Lk. 15:19
And the son said to him: Father: I have sinned against heaven and before thee I am not now worthy to be called thy son. Lk. 15:21
And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee and I have never transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends. Lk. 15:29
But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine. Lk. 15:31
And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer. Lk. 16:2
And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed. Lk. 16:3
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. Lk. 16:4
And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity: that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. Lk. 16:9
And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. Lk. 16:24
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, Lk. 16:27
For I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments. Lk. 16:28
And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him. Lk. 17:4
And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper and gird thyself and serve me, whilst I eat and drink; and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? Lk. 17:8
Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him? I think not. Lk. 17:9
I say to you: In that night there shall be two men in one bed. The one shall be taken and the other shall be left. Lk. 17:34
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man, Lk. 18:4
Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me. Lk. 18:5
I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? Lk. 18:8
The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. Lk. 18:11
I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. Lk. 18:12

And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds and said to them: Trade till I come. Lk. 19:13
And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin. Lk. 19:20
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down: and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow. Lk. 19:21
He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping that which I did not sow. Lk. 19:22
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
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
To whom he said: I say to you that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. Lk. 19:40
And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me: Lk. 20:3
And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. Lk. 20:8
Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be, when they see him, they will reverence him. Lk. 20:13
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool. Lk. 20:43
And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. Lk. 21:3
Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them. Lk. 21:8
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay. Lk. 21:15
Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled. Lk. 21:32
And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee: Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? Lk. 22:11
And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer. Lk. 22:15
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
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
And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom; Lk. 22:29
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
And he said to them: When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want anything? But they said: Nothing. Lk. 22:35
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
When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness. Lk. 22:53
But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. Lk. 22:57
And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not. Lk. 22:58
And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew. Lk. 22:60
If thou be the Christ, tell us. And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me. Lk. 22:67
And if I shall also ask you, you will not answer me, nor let me go. Lk. 22:68
Then said they all: Art thou then the Son of God? Who said: You say that I am. Lk. 22:70
And Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no cause in this man. Lk. 23:4
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
No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. Lk. 23:15
I will chastise him therefore and release him. Lk. 23:16
And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore and let him go. Lk. 23:22
And Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with me in paradise. Lk. 23:43
And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost. Lk. 23:46
Now, whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them and saith to them: Peace be to you. It is I: Fear not. Lk. 24:36
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
And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high. Lk. 24:49
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
And he confessed and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ. Jn. 1:20
And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. Jn. 1:21
He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. Jn. 1:23
John answered them, saying: I baptize with water: but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not. Jn. 1:26
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
This is he of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me. Jn. 1:30
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 John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him. Jn. 1:32
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
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
Jesus answered and said to him: Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest: greater things than these shalt thou see. Jn. 1:50
And he saith to him: Amen, amen, I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. Jn. 1:51
Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple; and in three days I will raise it up. Jn. 2:19
Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:3
Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:5
Wonder not that I said to thee: You must be born again. Jn. 3:7
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
If I have spoken to you earthly things, and you believe not: how will you believe, if I shall speak to you heavenly things? Jn. 3:12
You yourselves do bear me witness that I said I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him. Jn. 3:28
He must increase: but I must decrease. Jn. 3:30
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 answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband. Jn. 4:17
The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Jn. 4:19
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
Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. Jn. 4:26
Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ? Jn. 4:29
But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not. Jn. 4:32
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
Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries. For they are white already to harvest. Jn. 4:35
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
The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. Jn. 5:7
But Jesus answered them: My Father worketh until now; and I work. Jn. 5:17
Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. Jn. 5:19
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
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
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. Jn. 5:31
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
I receive not glory from men. Jn. 5:41
But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. Jn. 5:42
I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. Jn. 5:43
Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom you trust. Jn. 5:45
But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid. Jn. 6:20
Jesus answered them and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves and were filled. Jn. 6:26
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. Jn. 6:32
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
The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. Jn. 6:41
And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven? Jn. 6:42
No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him. And I will raise him up in the last day. Jn. 6:44
Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. Jn. 6:47
I am the bread of life. Jn. 6:48
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
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. Jn. 6:53
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
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
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
Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve? And one of you is a devil. Jn. 6:70
The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil, Jn. 7:7
Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished. Jn. 7:8
If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Jn. 7:17
Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder. Jn. 7:21
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
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
I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me. Jn. 7:29
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
You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come. Jn. 7:34
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
Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more. Jn. 8:11
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
Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go, but you know not whence I come or whither I go. Jn. 8:14
You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man. Jn. 8:15
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
I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me. Jn. 8:18
Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me. And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come. Jn. 8:21
The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come? Jn. 8:22
And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world. Jn. 8:23
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
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
But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not. Jn. 8:40
Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me. Jn. 8:42
But if I say the truth, you believe me not. Jn. 8:45
Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me: Jn. 8:46
Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And you have dishonoured me. Jn. 8:49
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Jn. 8:50
Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. Jn. 8:51
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
Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM. Jn. 8:58
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
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Jn. 9:5
Some said: This is he. But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he. Jn. 9:9
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
And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. Jn. 9:12
Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see. Jn. 9:15
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
He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples? Jn. 9:27
He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jn. 9:36
And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him. Jn. 9:38
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
Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. Jn. 10:7
I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures. Jn. 10:9
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
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. Jn. 10:11
I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me. Jn. 10:14
As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. Jn. 10:15
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
No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Jn. 10:18
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
My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me. Jn. 10:27
And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand. Jn. 10:28
I and the Father are one. Jn. 10:30
Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me? Jn. 10:32
Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your law: I said, you are gods? Jn. 10:34
Do you say of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world: Thou blasphemest; because I said: I am the Son of God? Jn. 10:36
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. Jn. 10:37
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
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
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
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
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
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
Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. Jn. 12:24
If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour. Jn. 12:26
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. Jn. 12:27
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. Jn. 12:28
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. Jn. 12:32
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
I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness. Jn. 12:46
And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. Jn. 12:47
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
For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak. Jn. 12:49
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
Jesus answered and said to him: What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Jn. 13:7
Peter saith to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet, Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me. Jn. 13:8
Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you? Jn. 13:12
You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am. Jn. 13:13
If then I being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. Jn. 13:14
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
When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray me. Jn. 13:21
Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Jn. 13:26
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You shall seek me. And as I said to the Jews: Whither I go you cannot come; so I say to you now. Jn. 13:33
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
Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow hereafter. Jn. 13:36
Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. Jn. 13:37
Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice. Jn. 13:38
In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. Jn. 14:2
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
And whither I go you know: and the way you know. Jn. 14:4
Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. Jn. 14:6
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
I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you. Jn. 14:18
Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live. Jn. 14:19
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
These things have I spoken to you, abiding with you. Jn. 14:25
But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. Jn. 14:26
Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled: nor let it be afraid. Jn. 14:27
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
I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. Jn. 14:30
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
¤ I am the true vine: and my Father is the husbandman. Jn. 15:1
Now you are clean, by reason of the word which I have spoken to you. Jn. 15:3
Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. Jn. 15:4
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
As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. Jn. 15:9
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. Jn. 15:10
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
You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you. Jn. 15:14
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends, because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. Jn. 15:15
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 you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Jn. 15:19
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
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. Jn. 15:22
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 when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. Jn. 15:26
¤ These things have I spoken to you that you may not be scandalized. Jn. 16:1
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 because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Jn. 16:6
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
And of justice: because I go to the Father: and you shall see me no longer. Jn. 16:10
I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now. Jn. 16:12
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
A little while, and now you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. Jn. 16:16
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
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
So also you now indeed have sorrow: but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice. And your joy no man shall take from you. Jn. 16:22
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
These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father. Jn. 16:25
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
I came forth from the Father and am come into the world: again I leave the world and I go to the Father. Jn. 16:28
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
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. Jn. 17:4
And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee. Jn. 17:5
I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were: and to me thou gavest them. And they have kept thy word. Jn. 17:6
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
I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine. Jn. 17:9
And all my things are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. Jn. 17:10
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 have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. Jn. 17:14
I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil. Jn. 17:15
They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. Jn. 17:16
As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. Jn. 17:18
And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jn. 17:19
And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me. Jn. 17:20
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
They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. Jn. 18:5
As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward and fell to the ground. Jn. 18:6
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
Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it? Jn. 18:11
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
Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort: and in secret I have spoken nothing. Jn. 18:20
Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. Jn. 18:21
Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me? Jn. 18:23
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not. Jn. 18:25
One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did not I see thee in the garden with him? Jn. 18:26
Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? Jn. 18:35
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
Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews and saith to them: I find no cause in him. Jn. 18:38
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
When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. Jn. 19:6
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
But they cried out: Away with him: Away with him: Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar. Jn. 19:15
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
Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written. Jn. 19:22
Afterwards, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said: I thirst. Jn. 19:28
They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord: and I know not where they have laid him. Jn. 20:13
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 her: Do not touch me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God. Jn. 20:17
Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord; and these things he said to me. Jn. 20:18
He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. Jn. 20:21
The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Jn. 20:25
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
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
Amen, amen, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and lead thee whither thou wouldst not. Jn. 21:18
Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me. Jn. 21:22
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
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
‡ ¤ The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach, Acts 1:1
And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord), I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Acts 2:17
And upon my servants indeed and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit: and they shall prophesy. Acts 2:18
And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke. Acts 2:19
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
Until I make thy enemies thy footstool. Acts 2:35
But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none; but what I have, I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise and walk. Acts 3:6
And now, brethren, I know that you did it through ignorance: as did also your rulers. Acts 3:17
And now, therefore, I say to you: Refrain from these men and let them alone. For if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought: Acts 5:38
And said to him: Go forth out of thy country and from thy kindred: and come into the land which I shall shew thee. Acts 7:3
And the nation which they shall serve will I judge (said the Lord): and after these things they shall go out and shall serve me in this place. Acts 7:7

Seeing, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt: and I have heard their groaning and am come down to deliver them. And now come: and I will send thee into Egypt. Acts 7:34

And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:56
Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:19
For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. Acts 8:23
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 the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man? Acts 8:34
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
Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Acts 9:5
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord. Acts 9:10
But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem. Acts 9:13
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Acts 9:16
But Peter said: Far be it from me. For I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean. Acts 10:14
Arise, therefore: get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. Acts 10:20
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come? Acts 10:21
But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise: I myself also am a man. Acts 10:26
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me? Acts 10:29
And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour and behold a man stood before me in white apparel Acts 10:30
Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now, therefore, all we are present in thy sight to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord. Acts 10:33
And Peter opening his mouth, said: in very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. Acts 10:34
I was in the city of Joppe praying: and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. And it came even unto me. Acts 11:5
Into which looking, I considered and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth and beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air. Acts 11:6
And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter. Kill and eat. Acts 11:7
And I said: Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth. Acts 11:8
And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea. Acts 11:11
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 when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning. Acts 11:15
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
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 they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them. Acts 13:2
And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills. Acts 13:22
And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he whom you think me to be. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. Acts 13:25
This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. Acts 13:33
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
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you. Acts 13:41
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
After these things I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down: and the ruins thereof I will rebuild. And I will set it up: Acts 15:16
For which cause, I judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted: Acts 15:19
And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour. Acts 16:18
And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved? Acts 16:30
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
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
But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean. From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Acts 18:6
Because I am with thee and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city. Acts 18:10
And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you. Acts 18:14
But if they be questions of word and names and of your law, look you to it. I will not be judge of such things. Acts 18:15
But taking his leave and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus. Acts 18:21
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
But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know: and Paul I know. But who are you? Acts 19:15
And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also. Acts 19:21
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
And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there: Acts 20:22
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
For I have not spared to declare unto you all, the counsel of God. Acts 20:27
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
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified. Acts 20:32
I have not coveted any man's silver, gold or apparel, as Acts 20:33
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
Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 21:13
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May I speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek? Acts 21:37
But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people. Acts 21:39
¤ Men, brethren and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you. Acts 22:1
And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day: Acts 22:3
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 falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 22:7
And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. Acts 22:8
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
Coming to me and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I, the same hour, looked upon him. Acts 22:13
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 he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off will I send thee. Acts 22:21
And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so. Acts 22:28
¤ And Paul, looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day. Acts 23:1
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
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 meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council. Acts 23:28
Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands. Acts 23:29
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
I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. Acts 23:35
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
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
And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence, towards God and towards men. Acts 24:16
Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation and offerings and vows. Acts 24:17
In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude nor with tumult. Acts 24:18
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 Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you. Acts 24:22
And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. Acts 24:25
Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing. Acts 25:8
Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest. Acts 25:10
For if I have injured them or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar. Acts 25:11
About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the ancients of the Jews came unto me, desiring condemnation against him. Acts 25:15
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
When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought. Acts 25:17
Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of: Acts 25:18
I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things. Acts 25:20
But Paul, appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar. Acts 25:21
And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. Acts 25:22
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
Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews. Acts 26:7
And I indeed did formerly think that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Acts 26:9
Which also I did at Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests. And when they were put to death, I brought the sentence. Acts 26:10
And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities. Acts 26:11
Whereupon, when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest, Acts 26:12
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
And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Acts 26:14
And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. Acts 26:15
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
Delivering thee from the people and from the nations unto which now I send thee: Acts 26:17
Whereupon, O King Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision. Acts 26:19
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
For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. Acts 26:21
But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass: Acts 26:22
And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness. Acts 26:25
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
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 now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship. Acts 27:22
For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, Acts 27:23
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me. Acts 27:25
Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake: for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish. Acts 27:34
And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. Acts 28:17
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
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily and their eyes they have shut, lest perhaps they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and should be converted: and I should heal them. Acts 28:27
First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world. Rom. 1:8
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
Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you. Rom. 1:10
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
To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor. Rom. 1:14
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
(I speak according to man.) God forbid! Otherwise how shall God judge this world? Rom. 3:6
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? Rom. 3:7
(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
I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification. Rom. 6:19
¤ 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
What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid! But I do not know sin, but by the law. For I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet. Rom. 7:7
And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. Rom. 7:9
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
For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man: Rom. 7:22
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
The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sin. Rom. 7:25
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 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
¤ I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost: Rom. 9:1
That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart. Rom. 9:2
For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh: Rom. 9:3
For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son. Rom. 9:9
As it is written: Jacob I have loved: but Esau I have hated. Rom. 9:13
For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. And I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. Rom. 9:15
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
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
As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and a rock of scandal. And whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. Rom. 9:33
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom. 10:2
But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily: Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the whole world. Rom. 10:18
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
¤ I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom. 11:1
Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life. Rom. 11:3
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
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
For I say to you, Gentiles: As long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry, Rom. 11:13
If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh and may save some of them. Rom. 11:14
Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Rom. 11:19
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 this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins. Rom. 11:27
¤ 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
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
Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Rom. 12:19
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. Rom. 14:11
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 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 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
But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind, because of the grace which is given me from God, Rom. 15:15
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
I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God. Rom. 15:17
For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, Rom. 15:18
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
And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. Rom. 15:20
For which cause also, I was hindered very much from coming to you and have been kept away till now. Rom. 15:22
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
But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints. Rom. 15:25
When therefore I shall have accomplished this and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. Rom. 15:28
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
(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles), Rom. 16:4
Now I beseech you, brethren, to mark them who make dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them. Rom. 16:17
For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good and simple in evil. Rom. 16:19
I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. Rom. 16:22
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
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
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
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas. Besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 1 Cor. 1:16
For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. 1 Cor. 1:19
¤ And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:1
For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2
And I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. 1 Cor. 2:3
¤ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ. 1 Cor. 3:1
I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal. 1 Cor. 3:2
For while one saith: I indeed am of Paul: and another: I am of Apollo: are you not men? 1 Cor. 3:4
I have planted, Apollo watered: but God gave the increase. 1 Cor. 3:6
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 the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Cor. 3:19
But to me it is a very small thing to be judged by you or by man's day. But neither do I judge my own self. 1 Cor. 4:3
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
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
I write not these things to confound you: but I admonish you as my dearest children. 1 Cor. 4:14
For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. 1 Cor. 4:15
Wherefore, I beseech you, be ye followers of me as I also am of Christ. 1 Cor. 4:16
For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord. Who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus: as I teach every where in every church. 1 Cor. 4:17
As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up. 1 Cor. 4:18
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
What will you? Shall I come to you with a rod? Or in charity and in the spirit of meekness? 1 Cor. 4:21
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
I wrote to you in an epistle not to keep company with fornicators. 1 Cor. 5:9
I mean not with the fornicators of this world or with the covetous or the extortioners or the servers of idols: otherwise you must needs go out of this world. 1 Cor. 5:10
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
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
All things are lawful to me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me: but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 6:12
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
But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment. 1 Cor. 7:6
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 I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I. 1 Cor. 7:8
But to them that are married, not I, but the Lord, commandeth that the wife depart not from her husband. 1 Cor. 7:10
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
But as the Lord hath distributed to every one, as God hath called every one: so let him walk. And so in all churches I teach. 1 Cor. 7:17
Now, concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give counsel, as having obtained mercy of the Lord, to be faithful. 1 Cor. 7:25
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
But if thou take a wife, thou hast not sinned. And if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned: nevertheless, such shall have tribulation of the flesh. But I spare you. 1 Cor. 7:28
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
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
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 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
Wherefore, if meat scandalize my brother, I will never eat flesh, lest I should scandalize my brother. 1 Cor. 8:13
¤ Am not I free? Am not I an apostle? Have not I seen Christ Jesus our Lord? Are not you my work in the Lord? 1 Cor. 9:1
And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 1 Cor. 9:2
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to do this? 1 Cor. 9:6
Speak I these things according to man? Or doth not the law also say; these things? 1 Cor. 9:8
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
For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. 1 Cor. 9:16
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me. 1 Cor. 9:17
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
I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty: I so fight, not as one beating the air. 1 Cor. 9:26
But I chastise my body and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps, when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway. 1 Cor. 9:27
¤ 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
I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say. 1 Cor. 10:15
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
Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? 1 Cor. 10:29
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
¤ Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. 1 Cor. 11:1
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
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
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
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
¤ Now concerning spiritual things, my brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 1 Cor. 12:1
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
If the foot should say: Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the Body? 1 Cor. 12:15
And if the ear should say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body: Is it therefore not of the body? 1 Cor. 12:16
And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you. 1 Cor. 12:21
But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way. 1 Cor. 12:31
¤ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Cor. 13:1
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
And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. 13:3
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child. 1 Cor. 13:11
We see now through a glass in a dark manner: but then face to face. Now I know in part: but then I shall know even as I am known. 1 Cor. 13:12
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
But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge or in prophecy or in doctrine? 1 Cor. 14:6
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
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit. 1 Cor. 14:14
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding, I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding. 1 Cor. 14:15
I thank my God I speak with all your tongues. 1 Cor. 14:18
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
In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people: and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord. 1 Cor. 14:21
For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. 1 Cor. 14:33
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
¤ Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received and wherein you stand. 1 Cor. 15:1
By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. 1 Cor. 15:2
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
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 1 Cor. 15:9
But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace in me hath not been void: but I have laboured more abundantly than all they. Yet not I, but the grace of God with me: 1 Cor. 15:10
For whether I or they, so we preach: and so you have believed. 1 Cor. 15:11
I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:31
If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die. 1 Cor. 15:32
Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak it to your shame. 1 Cor. 15:34
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption. 1 Cor. 15:50
Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed. 1 Cor. 15:51
¤ 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 when I shall be with you, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them will I send to carry your grace to Jerusalem. 1 Cor. 16:3
And if it be meet that I also go, they shall go with me. 1 Cor. 16:4
Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia. 1 Cor. 16:5
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
But I will tarry at Ephesus, until Pentecost. 1 Cor. 16:8
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
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
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
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
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
But I call God to witness upon my soul that to spare you, I came not any more to Corinth: 2 Cor. 1:23
¤ But I determined this with myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. 2 Cor. 2:1
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
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
And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ: 2 Cor. 2:10
And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened unto me in the Lord, 2 Cor. 2:12
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but bidding them farewell, I went into Macedonia. 2 Cor. 2:13
But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also: 2 Cor. 4:13
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
For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time: behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Cor. 6:2
But having the same recompense (I speak as to my children): be you also enlarged. 2 Cor. 6:13
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. 2 Cor. 6:16
Wherefore: Go out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: And I will receive you. 2 Cor. 6:17
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
Great is my confidence for you: great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation. 2 Cor. 7:4
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
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
For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their power, they were willing: 2 Cor. 8:3
I speak not as commanding: but by the carefulness of others, approving also the good disposition of your charity. 2 Cor. 8:8
And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago. 2 Cor. 8:10
For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, 2 Cor. 8:13
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
Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings. 2 Cor. 9:6
¤ Now I Paul, myself beseech you, by the mildness and modesty of Christ: who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 Cor. 10:1
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
For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed. 2 Cor. 10:8
But that I may not be thought as it were to terrify you by epistles, 2 Cor. 10:9
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 I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles. 2 Cor. 11:5
For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge: but in all things we have been made manifest to you. 2 Cor. 11:6
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
I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry. 2 Cor. 11:8
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
Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it. 2 Cor. 11:11
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
I speak according to dishonour, as if we had been weak in this part. Wherein if any man dare (I speak foolishly), I dare also. 2 Cor. 11:21
They are Hebrews: so am I. They are Israelites: so am I. They are the seed of Abraham: so am I. 2 Cor. 11:22
They are the ministers of Christ (I speak as one less wise): I am more; in many more labours, in prisons more frequently, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. 2 Cor. 11:23
Of the Jews five times did I receive forty stripes save one. 2 Cor. 11:24
Thrice was I beaten with rods: once I was stoned: thrice I suffered shipwreck: a night and a day I was in the depth of the sea. 2 Cor. 11:25
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is scandalized, and I am not on fire? 2 Cor. 11:29
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
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall: and so escaped his hands. 2 Cor. 11:33
¤ If I must glory (it is not expedient indeed) but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Cor. 12:1
I know a man in Christ: above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth), such a one caught up to the third heaven. 2 Cor. 12:2
And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not: God knoweth): 2 Cor. 12:3
For such an one I will glory: but for myself I will glory nothing but in my infirmities. 2 Cor. 12:5
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
For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful. 2 Cor. 12:10
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
But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls: although loving you more, I be loved less. 2 Cor. 12:15
But be it so: I did not burthen you: but being crafty, I caught you by guile. 2 Cor. 12:16
Did I overreach you by any of them whom I sent to you? 2 Cor. 12:17
I desired Titus: and I sent with him a brother. Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk with the same spirit? Did we not in the same steps? 2 Cor. 12:18
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
¤ Behold, this is the third time I am coming to you: In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word stand. 2 Cor. 13:1
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
But I trust that you shall know that we are not reprobates. 2 Cor. 13:6
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
I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. Gal. 1:6
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 do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Gal. 1:10
For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. Gal. 1:11
For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal. 1:12
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
And I made progress in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. Gal. 1:14
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
Neither went I to Jerusalem, to the apostles who were before me: but I went into Arabia, and again I returned to Damascus. Gal. 1:17
Then, after three years, I went to Jerusalem to see Peter: and I tarried with him fifteen days. Gal. 1:18
But other of the apostles I saw none, saving James the brother of the Lord. Gal. 1:19
Now the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I lie not. Gal. 1:20
Afterwards, I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. Gal. 1:21
And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea, which were in Christ: Gal. 1:22
¤ Then, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me. Gal. 2:1
And I went up according to revelation and communicated to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles: but apart to them who seemed to be some thing: lest perhaps I should run or had run in vain. Gal. 2:2
Only that we should be mindful of the poor: which same thing also I was careful to do. Gal. 2:10
But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. Gal. 2:11
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
For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator. Gal. 2:18
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
I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain. Gal. 2:21
This only would I learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Gal. 3:2
Brethren (I speak after the manner of man), yet a man's testament, if it be confirmed, no man despiseth nor addeth to it. Gal. 3:15
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
¤ Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all, Gal. 4:1
I am afraid of you, lest perhaps I have laboured in vain among you. Gal. 4:11
Be ye as I, because I also am as you brethren, I beseech you. You have not injured me at all. Gal. 4:12
And you know how, through infirmity of the flesh, I preached the gospel to you heretofore: and your temptation in my flesh Gal. 4:13
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
Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? Gal. 4:16
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
My little children, of whom I am in labour again, until Christ be formed in you. Gal. 4:19
And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you. Gal. 4:20
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
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
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the scandal of the cross made void. Gal. 5:11
I would they were even cut off, who trouble you. Gal. 5:12
I say then: Walk in the spirit: and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Gal. 5:16
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
See what a letter I have written to you with my own hand. Gal. 6:11
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
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. Gal. 6:17
Wherefore, I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus and of your love towards all the saints, Eph. 1:15
¤ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles: Eph. 3:1
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
Of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which is given to me according to the operation of his power. Eph. 3:7
Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Eph. 3:13
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph. 3:14
¤ I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called: Eph. 4:1
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
This is a great sacrament: but I speak in Christ and in the church. Eph. 5:32
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
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you: Phil. 1:3
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
For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:8
And this I pray: That your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding: Phil. 1:9
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
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 if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not. Phil. 1:22
But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better. Phil. 1:23
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
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
Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ: because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain. Phil. 2:16
Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all. Phil. 2:17
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 I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you. Phil. 2:20
Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately: so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. Phil. 2:23
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 was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him. And not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Phil. 2:27
Therefore, I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow. Phil. 2:28
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more: Phil. 3:4
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
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
If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead. Phil. 3:11
Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:12
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
I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14
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
I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord. Phil. 4:2
And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life. Phil. 4:3
Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I say, rejoice. Phil. 4:4
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
I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith. Phil. 4:11
I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound (every where and in all things I am instructed): both to be full and to be hungry: both to abound and to suffer need. Phil. 4:12
I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me. Phil. 4:13
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
But I have all and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. Phil. 4:18
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
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
Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power. Col. 1:29
¤ 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
Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words. Col. 2:4
For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you, rejoicing, and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ. Col. 2:5
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
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
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
For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us. 1 Th. 2:18
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
For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. 1 Th. 4:2
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 1 Th. 5:27
Remember you not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Th. 2:5
The salutation of Paul with my own hand: which is the sign in every epistle. So I write. 2 Th. 3:17
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
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
Who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 1 Tim. 1:13
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
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 1 Tim. 2:7
I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention. 1 Tim. 2:8
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence. 1 Tim. 2:12
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
Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation and to doctrine. 1 Tim. 4:13
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
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
I charge thee before God who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession: 1 Tim. 6:13
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
Wherein I am appointed a preacher and an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles. 2 Tim. 1:11
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
Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding. 2 Tim. 2:7
Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer. But the word of God is not bound. 2 Tim. 2:9
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
Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord delivered me. 2 Tim. 3:11
¤ I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming and his kingdom: 2 Tim. 4:1
For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. 2 Tim. 4:6
I have fought a good fight: I have finished my course: I have kept the faith. 2 Tim. 4:7
But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 2 Tim. 4:12
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
Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus. 2 Tim. 4:20
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
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
When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter. Tit. 3:12
I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers. Ph'm 1:4
For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother. Ph'm 1:7
Wherefore, though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus to command thee that which is to the purpose: Ph'm 1:8
For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ. Ph'm 1:9
I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus, Ph'm 1:10
Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels. Ph'm 1:12
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
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
Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord! Refresh my bowels in the Lord. Ph'm 1:20
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
For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Heb. 1:5
But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool? Heb. 1:13
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. Heb. 2:12
And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold I and my children, whom God hath given me. Heb. 2:13
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways. Heb. 3:10
As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest. Heb. 3:11
For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished. Heb. 4:3
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
Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee and multiplying I shall multiply thee. Heb. 6:14
For, finding fault with them, he saith: Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect, unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Juda, a new testament: Heb. 8:8
Not according to the testament which I made to their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my testament: and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. Heb. 8:9
For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind: and in their heart will I write them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. Heb. 8:10
Because I will be merciful to their iniquities: and their sins I will remember no more. Heb. 8:12
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
And this is the testament which I will make unto them after those days, saith the Lord. I will give my laws in their hearts and on their minds will I write them: Heb. 10:16
And their sins and iniquities I will remember no more. Heb. 10:17
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 what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets: Heb. 11:32
And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble. Heb. 12:21

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

Then asked I an Angel, and sayd: Who are these Lord? 4 Esd. 2:44
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
¤ IN the thirteth yeare of the ruine of the citie I was in Babylon, and was trubled lying in my chamber, and my cogitations came vp ouer my hart: 4 Esd. 3:1
because I saw the desolation of Sion, and the abundance of them that dwelt in Babylon. 4 Esd. 3:2
And my spirit was tossed excedingly, and I began to speake to the highest timorous wordes, 4 Esd. 3:3
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
I nothing remember how this way should be forsaken: doth Babylon better thinges then Sion? 4 Esd. 3:31
Whose reward hath not appeared, nor their labour fructified. For passing through I passed among the nations, and I saw them abound, and not mindeful of thy commandmentes. 4 Esd. 3:33
And I sayd: It is so my Lord. And he answered me, & sayd: I am sent to shew thee three wayes, & to propose to thee three similitudes. 4 Esd. 4:3
Of the which if thou shalt declare to me one of them, I also wil shew thee the way which thou desirest to see, and wil teach thee whence a wicked hart is. 4 Esd. 4:4
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: If I should aske thee, saying: How great habitations are there in the hart of the sea, or how great vaines be there in the beginning of the depth, or how great vaines be there aboue the firmament, and what are the issues of paradise: 4 Esd. 4:7
thou wouldest perhaps say to me: I haue not descended into the depth, nor into hel as yet, neither haue I ascended at anie time into heauen. 4 Esd. 4:8
But now I haue not asked thee, sauing of the fire, and the winde, and the day by the which thou hast passed, and from the which thou canst not be separated: and thou hast not answered me of them. 4 Esd. 4:9
I sayd to him: Better were it for vs not to be, then yet liuing to liue in impieties, and to suffer, and not to vnderstand for what thing. 4 Esd. 4:12
And he answered me, & said: Going forth I went forward to a wood of trees in the filde, and they deuised a deuise, (Judges 9/ 2 Par. 25) 4 Esd. 4:13
And I answered, and sayd: Verely they deuised a vayne deuise. For the earth is geuen to the wood, and a place to the sea to carie her waues. 4 Esd. 4:19
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
And I answered, and sayd: How, and when shal these things be? why are our yeares few and euil? 4 Esd. 4:33
Did not the soules of the iust in the cellars, aske of these things, saying: How hope I so, and when shal the fruite come of the floore of our reward? 4 Esd. 4:35
And I answered, and sayd: O Lord Dominatour, we also are al ful of impietie. 4 Esd. 4:38
And I sayd it can not Lord. And he sayd to me, in hel the cellars of the soules are like to the matrice. 4 Esd. 4:41
And I answered, and sayd: If I haue found grace before thine eyes, & if it be possible, and if I by fitte, 4 Esd. 4:44
What passed, I know: but what is to come, I know not. 4 Esd. 4:46
And he sayd to me: Stand vpon the right side, and I wil shew thee the interpretation of the similitude. 4 Esd. 4:47
And I stood, and saw: and behold a burning fornace passed before me, & it came to passe when the flame passed, I saw: and behold the smoke ouercame. 4 Esd. 4:48
and I prayed, & sayd, shal I liue thinkest thou vntil these dayes? or what shal be in those dayes? 4 Esd. 4:51
He answered me, and sayd: Of the signes wherof thou askest me, in part I can tel thee, howbeit of thy life I was not sent to tel thee, neither doe I know. 4 Esd. 4:52
These signes I am permitted to tel thee: and if thou pray againe and weepe, as also now, and fast seuen dayes, thou shalt heare againe greater thinges then these. 4 Esd. 5:13
And I awaked, and my bodie did shiuer excedingly: and my soule laboured, that it fainted: 4 Esd. 5:14
And I sayd to him: Goe from me, & approch not vnto me. And he heard, as I sayd: and he departed from me. 4 Esd. 5:19
And I fasted seuen dayes howling & weeping, as Vriel the Angel commanded me. 4 Esd. 5:20
and my soule resumed the spirit of vnderstanding: & agayne I began to speake wordes before the Highest: 4 Esd. 5:22
and I sayd: Lord Dominatour of euerie wood of the earth, & al the trees therof, thou hast chosen one vineyard: 4 Esd. 5:23
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 he sayd to me: Heare me, and I wil instruct thee: and harken to me, and I wil adde before thee. 4 Esd. 5:32
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 I sayd to him: No Lord, but for sorow I haue spoken, for my veynes torment me euerie houre, to apprehend the pathe of the Highest, and to search part of his iudgement. 4 Esd. 5:34
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 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 am vnwise, and how can I speake of these thinges, which thou hast asked me? 4 Esd. 5:39
And he sayd to me: As thou canst not doe one of these thiges, which haue bene sayd: so canst thou not finde my iudgement, or in the end the charitie, which I haue promised to the people. 4 Esd. 5:40
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 he sayd to me: I wil resemble my iudgement to a crowne. As there shal not be slacknes of the last, so neither swiftnes of the former. 4 Esd. 5:42
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 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 I sayd, it can not verily: but according to time. 4 Esd. 5:47
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 I asked, and sayd: Wheras thou hast now geuen me a way, I wil speake before thee: for our mother, of whom thou toldest me, yet she is yong: now draweth nigh to old age. 4 Esd. 5:50
And I sayd: I besech thee Lord, if I haue found grace before thine eyes, shew vnto thy seruant, by whom thou doest visite thy creature. 4 Esd. 5:56
then I thought, and they were made by me only, and not by any other: and the end by me, and not by any other. 4 Esd. 6:6
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
And I answered, and sayd: O Lord dominatour, if I haue found grace before thyne eyes, 4 Esd. 6:11
I pray thee shew thy seruant the end of thy signes, wherof thou didst shew me part the night before. 4 Esd. 6:12
And it came to passe, when I had heard, I rose vpon my feete, and I heard: and behold a voice speaking, and the sound therof as the sound of manie waters: 4 Esd. 6:17
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, 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 it came to passe, when he spake to me, & I loe by litle & litle looked on him before whom I stood, 4 Esd. 6:29
and he sayd to me these wordes: I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come. 4 Esd. 6:30
If therfore thou pray agayne, and fast agayne seuen dayes, agayne I wil tel thee greater thinges by the day which I haue heard. 4 Esd. 6:31
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 it came to passe in the eight night, and my hart was trubled againe in me, and I began to speake before the Highest. 4 Esd. 6:36
And I sayd: O Lord, speaking thou didst speake from the beginning of creature from the first day, saying: Let heauen be made and earth: and thy word was a perfect worke. 4 Esd. 6:38
And al these thinges I haue sayd before thee o Lord, because thou didst create the world for vs. 4 Esd. 6:55
¤ AND it came to passe when I had ended to speake these wordes, the Angel was sent to me, which had bene sent to me the first nights, 4 Esd. 7:1
and he sayd to me: Arise Esdras, and heare the wordes which I am come to speake to thee. 4 Esd. 7:2
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
And I sayd: So Lord. And he sayd to me, So it is: Israel also a part. 4 Esd. 7:10
For I made the world for them: and when Adam transgressed my constitution, that was iudged which was done. 4 Esd. 7:11
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
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
This is my judgement and the ordinance thereof; but to thee only have I shewed these things. 4 Esd. 7:44
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
And he answered me, and said, Hearken unto me, and I will instruct thee; and I will admonish thee yet again: 4 Esd. 7:49
And I say, Lord, how shall this be? 4 Esd. 7:53
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
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
And I answered and said, O thou earth, wherefore hast thou brought forth, if the mind is made out of dust, like as all other created things? 4 Esd. 7:62
And I answered and said, If I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, shew this also unto thy servant, whether after death, even now when every one of us giveth up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come, in which thou shalt renew the creation, of whether we shall be tormented forthwith. 4 Esd. 7:75
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
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 I answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, shew further unto me thy servant whether in the day of judgement the just will be able to intercede for the ungodly or to intreat the Most High for them, 4 Esd. 7:102
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
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
For then no man can saue him that hath perished, nor drowne him that hath ouercome. And I answered, 4 Esd. 7:115
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
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 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
And now Lord I wil speake, of euerie man thou rather knowest: but concerning thy people, for which I am sorowful: 4 Esd. 8:15
and concerning thine inheritance, for which I mourne, and for Israel for whom I am pensiue, and concerning Iacob, for whom I am sorowful. 4 Esd. 8:16
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
Therfore heare my voyce, and vnderstand my word, and I wil speake before thee. 4 Esd. 8:19
The beginning of the wordes of Esdras before he was assumpted: and I sayd: Lord which inhabitest the world, whose eyes are eleuated vnto thinges on high and in the ayre: 4 Esd. 8:20
For whiles I liue, I wil speake: and whiles I vnderstand, I wil answere: 4 Esd. 8:25
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
but I wil reioyce vpon the creature of the iust, and I wil remember their pilgrimage also, and saluation, and receiuing of reward. 4 Esd. 8:39
Therfore as I haue spoken, so also it is. 4 Esd. 8:40
And I answered, and sayd: If I haue found grace, let me speake. 4 Esd. 8:42
For thou lackest much to be able to loue my creature aboue me: and to thee often times, euen to thyselfe I haue approched, but to the vniust neuer. 4 Esd. 8:47
Which thinges I haue not shewed to al, but to thee, & to few like vnto thee. And I answered, and sayd: 4 Esd. 8:62
shal be leaft out of the foresayd dangers, and shal see my saluation in my land, and in my costes, because I haue sancitifed my selfe from the world. 4 Esd. 9:8
And I answered, and sayd: 4 Esd. 9:14
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
And I saw, and spared it very much: and I kept vnto my selfe a grape kernel of a cluster, and a plant of a great trybe. 4 Esd. 9:21
Let the multitude therfore perish, which was borne without cause, and let my kernel be kept, & my plant: because I finished it with much labour. 4 Esd. 9:22
Pray to the Highest without intermission, and I wil come, and wil speake with thee. 4 Esd. 9:25
And I went forth, as he sayd to me, into a field which is called Ardath, and I sate there among the flowers. And I did eate of the herbes of the field, and the meate of them made me ful. 4 Esd. 9:26
And it came to passe after seuen dayes, and I sate downe vpon the grasse, and my hart was trubled ayayne as before. 4 Esd. 9:27
And my mouth was opened, and I beganne to speake before the Highest, and sayd: 4 Esd. 9:28
For behold, I sow my lawe in you, and it shal bring forth fruite in you, and you shal be glorified in it for euer. 4 Esd. 9:31
And when I spake these thinges in my hart, I looked backe with myne eyes, and saw a woman on the right side, and behold she mourned, and wept with a lowd voice, and was sorrowful in mynde exceedingly, and her garments rent, and ashes vpon her heade. 4 Esd. 9:38
And I left the cogitations, wherin I was thinking, and I turned to her and sayd to her: 4 Esd. 9:39
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 I sayd to her, What ayleth thee: tel me. And she sayd to me: 4 Esd. 9:42
I thy seruant haue beene barren, and haue not borne childe, hauing a husband thirty yeares. 4 Esd. 9:43
For I euery howre, and euerie day, and these thirty yeares do beseche the Highest night and day. 4 Esd. 9:44
And it came to passe, after thirtie yeares God heard me thy handmayd, and saw my humilitie, and attended to my tribulation, and gaue me a sonne: and I was very ioyful vpon him, and my husband, and al my citizens, and we did glorifie the Strong exceedingly. 4 Esd. 9:45
And I nourished him with much labour. 4 Esd. 9:46
And it came to passe when he was growen, and came to take a wife, I made a feast day. 4 Esd. 9:47
and we al ouerthrewe the lights, and al my citizens rose vp to comfort me, and I was quiet vntil the other day at night. 4 Esd. 10:2
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
And I meane nowe not to returne into the citie, but to stay here: and neither eate, nor drinke, but without intermission to mourne, and to fast vntil I dye. 4 Esd. 10:4
And I left the talke wherin I was, and with anger answered her, & sayd: 4 Esd. 10:5
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
but the earth according to the maner of the earth, and the present multitude in it hath departed as it came: and I saye to thee, 4 Esd. 10:13
I wil not doe it, neither wil I enter into the citie, but here wil I dye. 4 Esd. 10:18
And I added yet to speake to her, & sayd: 4 Esd. 10:19
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
and behold, the woman did no more appeare vnto me, but a citie was built, & a place was shewed of great fundations: and I was afrayd, & crying with a loude voyce I sayd: 4 Esd. 10:27
And when I was speaking these thinges, behold he came to me, and sawe me. 4 Esd. 10:29
And behold I was layd as dead, & my vnderstanding was alienated, and he held my right hand, and strengthned me, & set me vpon my feete, & sayd to me: 4 Esd. 10:30
What ayleth thee? and why is thy vnderstanding, and the sense of thy hart trubled, & why art thou trubled? And I sayd: 4 Esd. 10:31
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
Stand like a man, & I wil moue thee. And I sayd: 4 Esd. 10:33
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
Heare me, and I wil teach thee, and wil tel thee of what thinges thou art afrayd: because the Highest hath reuealed vnto thee manie mysteries. 4 Esd. 10:38
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 I slept that night, and the other next, as he had sayd to me. 4 Esd. 10:60
¤ AND I sawe a dreame, & behold an eagle came vp out of the sea: which had twelue winges of fethers, and three heades. 4 Esd. 11:1
And I saw, and behold she spred her winges into al the earth, and al the windes of heauen blew vpon her, and were gathered together. 4 Esd. 11:2
And I saw, and of her fethers sprang contrarie feathers, and they became litle winges, and smale. 4 Esd. 11:3
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 I saw, and behold the eagle rose vp vpon her talons, and made a voice with her winges, saying: 4 Esd. 11:7
And I saw, and behold the voice came not out of her heades, but from the middes of her bodie. 4 Esd. 11:10
And I numbered her contrarie winges, and behold they were eight. 4 Esd. 11:11
And I saw, and behold on the right side rose one wing, and reighned ouer al the earth. 4 Esd. 11:12
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 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 after these thinges, and behold the twelue winges, and two litle winges appeared not: 4 Esd. 11:22
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 I saw, and behold the vnderwinges thought to set vp them selues, and to hold the principalities. 4 Esd. 11:25
And I saw, and behold one was set vp, but forthwith it appeared not. 4 Esd. 11:26
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 I saw after these thinges, and behold the midle head sodenly appeared not, as did the winges. 4 Esd. 11:33
And I saw, and behold the head on the right side deuoured that which was on the left. 4 Esd. 11:35
And I heard a voice saying to me, Looke against thee, and consider what thou seest. 4 Esd. 11:36
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
Heare thou, and I wil speake to thee, and the Highest wil say to thee: 4 Esd. 11:38
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 it came to passe, whiles the lyon spake these wordes to the eagle: I saw, 4 Esd. 12:1
And I saw, and behold they appeared not, and al the bodie of the eagle was burnt, & the earth was afrayd excedingly, and I by the tumult and traunce of minde, and for great feare awaked, and sayd to my spirit: 4 Esd. 12:3
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
And I sayd: Lord Dominatour, if I haue found grace before thine eyes, and if I am iustified before thee aboue manie, and if in deede my prayer be ascended before thy face, 4 Esd. 12:7
But it was not interpreted to him, therfore I do now interprete it to thee. 4 Esd. 12:12
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
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
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
For I haue not forsaken you, neither did I depart form you: but I came into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and to seeke mercie for the low estate of your sanctification. 4 Esd. 12:48
And now goe euery one of you into his house, and I wil come to you after these dayes. 4 Esd. 12:49
And the people departed, as I sayd to them, into the citie: 4 Esd. 12:50
but I sate in the fielde seuen dayes, as he commanded me: and I did eate of the flowers of the field only, of the herbes was my meate made in those dayes. 4 Esd. 12:51
¤ AND it came to passe after seuen dayse, and I dreamed a dreame in the night. 4 Esd. 13:1
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 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 I saw, and behold he had grauen to himself a great mountaine, & he flew vpon it. 4 Esd. 13:6
And I sought to see the countrie, or the place whence the mountaine was grauen, & I could not. 4 Esd. 13:7
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
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 after these thinges I saw the man himself descending from the mountaine, and calling to him an other peaceable multitude, 4 Esd. 13:12
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
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
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
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
And it shal be, when these thinges shal come to passe, and the signes shal happen, which I shewed thee before: and then shal my sonne be reueled, whom thou sawest, as a man coming vp. 4 Esd. 13:32
And I sayd: Lord dominatour, shew me this, why I saw a man comming vp from the hart of the sea, and he sayd to me: 4 Esd. 13:51
and for this I haue shewed thee riches with the Highest. For it shal be after other three dayes, I wil speake other thinges to thee, and I wil expound to thee weightie and meruelous thinges. 4 Esd. 13:56
And I went forth, and passed into the fielde, much glorifying & praising the Highest for the meruelous thinges that he did by time. 4 Esd. 13:57
And because he gouerneth it, and the thinges that are brought in times, & I sate there three dayes. 4 Esd. 13:58
¤ AND it came to passe the third day, and I sate vnder an oke. 4 Esd. 14:1
And behold a voice came forth against me out of a bush, and sayd: Esdras, Esdras: and I sayd: Loe here I am Lord. And I arose vpon my feete. And he sayd to me: 4 Esd. 14:2
Reueling I was reueled vpon the bush, and spake to Moyses, when the people serued in AEgypt, (Ex. 3) 4 Esd. 14:3
and I sent him, and brought my people out of AEgypt, and brought him vpon mount Sina, & held him with me manie dayes. 4 Esd. 14:4
And I told him manie meruelous thinges, & shewed him the secrets of times, and the end: and I commanded him, saying: 4 Esd. 14:5
And now to thee I say: 4 Esd. 14:7
The signes which I haue shewed, and the dreames which thou hast sene, and the interpretations which thou hast sene, lay them vp in thy hart. 4 Esd. 14:8
And I answered, and sayd before thee o Lord: 4 Esd. 14:18
For behold I wil goe, as thou hast commanded me, & wil rebuke the people that now is. But them that shal yet be born, who shal admonish? 4 Esd. 14:19
For if I haue found grace with thee, send the Holie Ghost to me, & I wil write al that hath bene done in the world from the beginning, the thinges that were written in thy law, that men may finde the pathe: and they that wil liue in the later times, may liue. 4 Esd. 14:22
And come hither, & I wil light in thy hart a candle of vnderstanding, which shal not be put out til the things be finished, which thou shalt begine to write. 4 Esd. 14:25
And I went as he commanded me, & gathered together al the people, and sayd: 4 Esd. 14:27
And I tooke the fiue men, as he commandede me, and we went forth into the field, and taried there. 4 Esd. 14:37
And I was come to the morrow, & behold as voice called me, saying: Esdras open thy mouth, and drinke that which I wil geue thee to drinke. (Ezech. 3) 4 Esd. 14:38
And I opened my mouth, & behold a ful cuppe was brought me, this was ful as it were with water: but the colour therof like as fire. 4 Esd. 14:39
And I tooke it, and dranke; and when I had drunken of it, my hart was tormented with vnderstanding, and wisdome grewe into my brest. For my spirit was kept by memorie. 4 Esd. 14:40
And at night they did eate breade, but I spake by day, & by night held not my peace. 4 Esd. 14:43
For in these is the vaine of vnderstanding, and the fountaine of wisdome, and the streame of knowledge, and I did soe. 4 Esd. 14:47
¤ BEHOLD speake into the eares of my people the wordes of prophecie, which I shal put into thy mouth, sayth our Lord: 4 Esd. 15:1
Behold I bring in, sayth our Lord, vpon the whole earth euils, sword, and famine, and death, and destruction. 4 Esd. 15:5
I wil not now kepe silence of their impieties which they doe irreligiously, neither wil I beare with those thinges, which they practise vniustly. Behold the innocent & iust bloud crieth to me, & the soules of the iust crie continually. 4 Esd. 15:8
Reuenging I wil reuenge them, sayth our Lord, and I wil take al innocent bloud out of them vnto me. (Apoc. 6:10 & 19:2) 4 Esd. 15:9
Behold my people is led to slaughter as a flocke, I wil no more suffer it to dwel in the land of AEgypt. 4 Esd. 15:10
But I wil bring them forth in a mightie hand and valiant arme, and wil strike with plague as before, and wil corrupt al the land thereof. 4 Esd. 15:11
Behold, I cal together sayth God, al the kinges of the earth to feare me, that are from the Orient, & from the South, from the East, & from Libanus, to be turned vpon themselues, and to render the thinges that they haue geuen them. 4 Esd. 15:20
As they doe vntil this day to myne elect, so wil I doe, and render in their bosome. Thus sayth our Lord God: 4 Esd. 15:21
I wil not spare them: depart o children from the powre. Defile not my sanctification: 4 Esd. 15:25
I wil send in euils vpon thee, widowhood, pouertie, and famine, and sword, and pestilence, to destroy thy houses by violation, and death, and glorie of thy vertue. 4 Esd. 15:49
Wil I be zealous against thee sayth our Lord, 4 Esd. 15:52
In these what shal I doe, when the euils shal come? 4 Esd. 16:19
so much the more wil I be zealous toward them, vpon their sinnes, sayth our Lord. 4 Esd. 16:49
Let not the sinner say he hath not sinned: because he shal burne coales of fire vpon his head, that sayth I haue not sinned before our Lord God and his glorie. 4 Esd. 16:54
Heare be beloued, sayth our Lord: Behold the dayes of tribulation are come: and out of them I wil deliuer you. 4 Esd. 16:75
